John Kennedy actually said...

"We want to express our congratulations to this young man and also our pride in him."

"His responsibility to his family is the most deserving of recognition, though as he said from the beginning his primary interest was in helping the members of his family."

"I want to express my congratulations and appreciation to the committee, the Attorney General, Mr. Hoover, Mr. Cox, Mr. Guthman, who participated in making this study."

"So we want to congratulate you and tell you that we are very proud to have you here."
