John Fitzgerald Kennedy: “We wish that the relations between his country and the United States should be intimate and close.”

This is the worst attack on foreign aid that we have seen since the beginning of the Marshall plan.

And I think that--the governmental standards, let me say, on the whole I think compare favorably with those in Washington, with those in some other parts of America.

I regard it as serious.

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