John Kennedy actually said...

"We shall seek to persuade the Communists to give up their attempts of force and subversion."

"Our indignation has mounted as the deliberate savagery of the Communist program of assassination, kidnapping and wanton violence became clear."

"I want to express the thanks of all of us to you--you welcomed our Peace Corps representatives and gave them training which I think has contributed to their success."

"The situation in your embattled country is well known to me and to the American people."
