The Public Record
John Fitzgerald Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States, serving from January 20, 1961, until his assassination on November 22, 1963. A member of the Democratic Party, he was born in Massachusetts and is often remembered for his leadership during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. Kennedy also established the Peace Corps, promoting international service and cooperation, and he advocated for civil rights, laying the groundwork for future legislation in this area.

We look forward very eagerly to your results and I promise you that we are strongly behind you in all your work.
We think that this Commission could usefully examine laws across the country which may adversely affect the rights of women.
I want to express my thanks to all of you for an important assignment.
We want to make sure that they are able to move ahead and perform their functions without any discrimination by law or by implication.
I can't imagine any more important assignment--not merely for women, but for members of Congress, organized labor, women's organizations themselves, religious groups, and all the rest.
The two Governments are, however, deeply concerned for the future of mankind if a halt cannot be called to the nuclear arms race.
