John Fitzgerald Kennedy: “I think that all who are associated with the program are to be commended.”

I know who they are going to blame.

I congratulate you, the people of Delaware, the people of Maryland, and the people of the United States.

I regard it as serious.

I just say that there's no sense having a program if a man who is innocent of any intelligence mission, which is true in this case, is subjected to arrest without means of defense.
