John Fitzgerald Kennedy

If you are satisfied, if you feel happy about your life, if you feel our country is meeting its responsibilities, then you belong in Mr. Nixon's camp.

We have increased our economic growth on the average of about 2.5 percent in the last 8 years.

Mr. Nixon runs on a program of saying that our prestige has never been higher

Anyone who does not realize that this is one of the great problems which is going to face us as citizens, anyone who does not realize that today we are only using 50 percent of the capacity of our steel mills, today in the last 5 or 10…

This community depends upon industry.

Every child here in this community deserves to be well educated.

I recognize that I run for the key office, not only in the United States, but also in the free world.

He made a statement on our debate that our prestige in the world has never been higher

We have to find 25,000 new jobs a week every week for the next ten years to provide full employment in the United States.

In the last years people around the world have come to the conclusion that we are not the strongest power

We know there is a God, and we know He hates injustice, and we see the storm coming.

This is an important question, because prestige is not popularity.

I look at outer space, I look at Africa, I look at Latin America, and in all of the new problems which disturbed our lives in the fifties, this administration has not responded, it has not taken the initiative.

Every problem that faces us requires new solutions, because the problems are new.

In 1961 the buck will stop on the desk of the President, will involve more serious problems, involving decisions more highly sophisticated than any in the long history of the United States.

Mr. Nixon has sown the seeds of negation. Time after time, he has said 'No' to the American people.

I think a nation that holds itself out as the champion of democracy has an obligation to do better by all Americans.

It does not represent a drain on the Treasury of $2 billion, because it is paid for on the way.

I want to talk with you this evening not about the missile gap... but the 'Nixon gap,' the difference between Mr. Nixon's campaign promises and his actual record.

I believe as in 1932, the United States is going to decide to move into the sixties, to provide work for our people, to strengthen our country, and set an example of what freedom can do around the world.

I think the American people will well be able to judge which candidate has been guilty of distortions in this campaign.

I have asked Mr. Nixon to participate in a fifth debate which I think should cover the question of Cuba and other important problems facing the American people.

This administration failed to recognize the changing nature of our times and we now see the Soviet first on the moon.

We are up early and up late, and we are not going to slumber or rest until November 8, when the Democrats are given the lead.

Mr. Nixon's message is another indication of the fact that he would rather debate with mimeograph machines and telegrams than face to face.
