John Fitzgerald Kennedy

The purpose of the governments of Brazil and the United States since revolutionary days has been to maintain that free life

Our task I believe, Mr. President, is to prove that the free life and the abundant life go hand in hand

We also want to express our high esteem for you personally for having taken over the affairs of your country at a critical time

Knowledge, not hate, is the passkey to the future--knowledge transcends national antagonisms--it speaks a universal language--it is the possession, not of a single class, a single nation or a single ideology, but of all mankind.

I want again to congratulate all concerned, to extend to you the thanks of the American people, and to extend to you my very warmest personal regards.

The contract that you have agreed upon with the steel industry is a document of high industrial statesmanship.

It is a settlement not forced but chosen.

At the same time, it provides new and imaginative benefits in areas most vital to employees--job and income security.

I know that I speak for every American in congratulating you on the early and responsible settlement in steel.

That confidence has been fully justified.

I also ask the medical and allied health professions, the communications industries, and all interested persons and groups to unite within the appointed month, and throughout Cancer Progress Year, in public reaffirmation of this Nation's…

I, John F. Kennedy, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of April 1962 as Cancer Control Month

We are putting great emphasis on the Inter-American Defense College at fort McNair, which we are giving strong support to and which I think can serve as an admirable center for a study of the methods by which the new aggression can be…

The kind of aggression which we were threatened with 20 years ago, when the Board was rounded, is different from the kind of aggression and subversion which threatens the hemisphere today.

A restatement of a traditional position where if a vital area--and I think the area that Mr. Salinger used was West Europe--were being overrun by conventional forces, that the United States would take means, available means, to defend…

I want to express my great pleasure at welcoming you to the White House on the occasion of your 20th anniversary.

This Board, which I feel plays a most important part in binding us closer together and providing the kind of security behind which a more happy life can be provided for our people, this work is most vital.

The agreement must depend upon the approval of the responsible parties in the company and in the union.

I hope that every member of the House of Representatives who believes in spreading the tax burden fairly, who wants to improve our balance of payments position, who wants this country to grow in new equipment and new jobs, will support…

I have been and this Government is extremely interested in building stronger and stronger ties between the countries of this hemisphere.

I am particularly interested in the resolutions which you have passed to make more effective use of our military forces for social work, economic work.

These new techniques require the most sophisticated, informed judgments.

I, John F. Kennedy, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by section 22(d) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended, do hereby amend, effective immediately, List H…

So, gentlemen, you are most welcome-on behalf of yourselves and your own work and on behalf of our sister Republics which you represent.
