John Kennedy actually said...

"I am delighted that Governor Collins has accepted this very important task in our national campaign."

"This is one of the top jobs in our national campaign and one to which I am sure Governor Collins will bring his great talents and abilities."

"This is an important campaign because it is an important country, and because all of us are anxious to see the United States move ahead."

"I run for the office of the Presidency in the most difficult time in the life of our country, in many ways the most difficult in a hundred years."
