John Fitzgerald Kennedy: “This Treaty is in our national interest.”

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.

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

I just say that there's no sense having a program if a man who is innocent of any intelligence mission, which is true in this case, is subjected to arrest without means of defense.

I think it would be unwise to attempt to negotiate it out here.
