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.

our handicapped workers have contributed immeasurably to the strength of our Nation through their productive capacity
I'm confident that from this conference at French Lick we will go forward with renewed commitments not to our party alone but to our country.
I particularly urge employers to renew their efforts to give the handicapped equal consideration with others similarly qualified for employment
