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.

I hope the House will give full support to the authorization recommended by the Foreign Affairs Committee.
But there are still Russians there, and this is still a matter of concern to us.
I wouldn't--I think the purpose, of course, is to attempt to bring to the attention of the Congress and the country the strong feeling of a good many thousands of citizens.
I don't think this country is tired and the cause of freedom should certainly not be fatigued.
I think this is a project very valuable and very important and the more this country entertains foreign visitors, and they all come to see what this free society is, the more important it is that we have this Center finished.
If it were not for the passage of this bill, the Center would have been 'finished' in early September.
