John Fitzgerald Kennedy
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.

The fact of the matter is that, of course, Government expenditures do go up in every administration, but the country's wealth goes up.
I think it is in the best economic interests of the country, unless this country just wants to drag along, have 5 or 6 million people unemployed, have profits reduced, have economic prospects, have our budgets unbalanced by a much larger…
I think that what they are wondering is what effect this will have, whether the North, which has supported civil rights in the past, will continue to support it.

HELLO, Admiral, I want to express all of our thanks to you and to send our very best wishes to all those who served in the '110.'
The war is now 20 years past, but I think that they can all take the strongest pride in having served their country during difficult and dangerous days in a service which required the utmost in skill and courage, and I know that all of…
I share with them a satisfaction in what they did for the United States.
I know something about the number of men who were lost in that difficult and dangerous service with the Coastal Command, and I take the greatest pride and satisfaction in extending our very best wishes to all of them.
President Kennedy assured His Majesty of the continuing desire of the United States to cooperate with Afghanistan in economic and technical fields and by so doing to contribute to the success of the efforts which Afghanistan is making to…
I think it is appropriate as we look to the future of our country that we also recall those who served it in times past.
It sets an example for all those who came after, and I know that my brother and all those others who served with the squadron who are not with you are with you tonight in spirit.
The Pacific has been his home, and the air over the Pacific has been, in a sense, his domain.
Now, Therefore, I, John F. Kennedy, under the authority vested in me as President, by the Constitution and statutes, including section 350 (A) (6) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1351(a) (6)), do proclaim that:
I am sure that all Americans, whatever their faith, join me in extending to each person celebrating Rosh Hashanah best wishes for a happy new year.
We enter the New Year with both renewed hope for a lessening of tensions between peoples and nations and disappointment in the continuing fires of conflict around the globe.
As President, I have determined that it is required or appropriate, on and after August 29, 1963, that those provisions of GATT and of agreements supplementary thereto which have heretofore been proclaimed be applied as supplemented by the…
We are committed to the continuing pursuit of liberty and justice, and neither illusion nor disappointments will distract us from our objective.
On and after August 29, 1963, the proclamation of January 31, 1963 (identified in Part II B) of this proclamation) is terminated in part as specified in Part 11 (B) of this proclamation.
In this basic effort we need the support and commitment of every citizen.
