John Kennedy actually said...

"As citizens of this country you can take pride in it."

"Therefore, I have asked Dr. Stafford Warren, my Special Assistant on Mental Retardation, to call a State-Federal Conference on Mental Retardation."

"We want you to feel very much at home."

"A meeting to coordinate and plan a concerted attack on the problem would seem to me desirable and of great benefit to the whole Nation."
