All America seeks a government where no man holds to his own interest and despises the public interest.
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.
I believe that the decline in agricultural income is the most difficult and important domestic problem facing the United States, both because of its effect on farmers and because of its effect on industry.
So I come to London, Ohio, and I come to this Republican community, and I come here without any hesitation at all in asking your support.
I call upon Mr. Nixon to reconsider his refusal and permit the American people another opportunity to hear us discuss issues.
But I say that what hurts the farmer, the small businessman, the homeowner, and the schoolteacher hurts the country.
We are going to have to provide an economy, an atmosphere and leadership which will provide full employment for our people.
I think we can do better in having friends, not foes, in Cuba, only 90 miles away.
I received word today that Mr. Nixon would not agree to a fifth debate.
First, no officer or employee of the executive branch shall use his official position for financial profit or personal gain, or reveal to others confidential information acquired through his position.
Any American who holds the view that the tide of history can only move in our favor if we move here at home, should vote for Mr. Nixon.
But the rise in interest - tiny as it may seem - adds thousands of dollars to his costs.
How can the next administration so provide an atmosphere for our economy where our country begins to move ahead, where our people work, where our facilities are used, particularly at a time when machines are taking the jobs of men?
I am delighted to be here today and whether you came as Democrats, Republicans, independents, convinced, unconvinced, I do appreciate the chance to speak with you.
For economic growth is the spring from which there flow high living standards and all public services, including defense.
I come to you today as the Democratic candidate for President in 1960.
I think we are going to win in Ohio and in the Nation, the kind of victory Roosevelt won in 1932.
Let me make it very clear that this country will not be in a position of influence around the world unless we are strong here in the United States.
We disagree on the goals of our country and we disagree on the means of attaining these goals.
I come here as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States.
