John Kennedy actually said...

"So you are very welcome to the White House, and I want you to know we are very grateful to all of you for coming down to see us."

"And I want to thank all of you, and also especially thank those who for so many years, and quite anonymously, have served on these boards in their communities."

"I think the misunderstandings have been straightened out."

"Well, that's what I think we ought to be--one of the matters we ought to be talking about."
