John Kennedy actually said...

"I believe that there is so much which unites this great country with my own."

"While geography has made us neighbors, tradition has made us friends."

"And working through the Alianza para el Progreso, a great communal effort, not that of the United States, not that of Mexico, but of all of the sister republics of our free hemisphere working together..."

"So I am grateful to all those who participated in a very important public service, and they are to be congratulated."
