John Fitzgerald Kennedy

This house belongs to all of you.

I can imagine nothing happier than to be a citizen of Girls Nation, and I accept the invitation.

It is very much connected with the best of our history.

So I say on the second anniversary, we have a long, long way to go, and in fact in some ways the road seems longer than it was when the journey started.

The problem really goes to the organization of the defense of the West, and what role France sees for herself, and sees for us, and what kind of a cooperative effort France and the United States and Britain and the other members of NATO…

The problem is really one, as you know, of discrimination, of being able to prevent saturation, of having to protect many targets while the adversary can select a few.

We hope that with the limited test ban agreement, we might see more progress.

The problem is not the size of the bomb, but rather the problem of discrimination and the problem of selectivity, targeting, and all the rest.

The fact of the matter is that this testing underground is a very difficult business, very difficult, very expensive, and this will have a restraint on the development of nuclear weapons.

We have indicated that we would be open to further discussions.

We should make sure that we have as great participation in this nuclear test ban agreement as possible.

In view of that warm cheer I'd like to, using the full powers of the Office, to grant amnesty to whoever needs it, whoever deserves it.

The greatest growth in labor demand today is for highly trained professional workers with 16 or more years of education.

We have received no encouragement, but we would like the Red Chinese to come into the agreement.

This country owes the greatest debt to our servicemen.

More than anything, the fact that this country is secure and at peace has been due to the military strength of the United States.

And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worth while, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: 'I served in the United States Navy.'

I think everybody ought to--I think there is nothing wrong with waiting and seeing.

I don't really see at the present time it would serve a useful purpose.

I am confident that whoever was President would meet his responsibilities.

In answer to your question, yes, we are now and we will in the future have long-term, very low interest rate loans which will be available for the Brazilian Government, the country of Brazil, in those areas where capital is needed.

I regard the relationship between Latin America--of which Brazil is the largest country--I regard that as essential for the security of this hemisphere, for the maintenance of the freedom of our country and the countries associated with us.

We want a fairer distribution of the wealth of Latin America, because we think that a degree of equality of economic opportunity is essential for political stability and for a system of freedom.

We are very glad to have you here.

Private investment goes where there is a return on capital, which may or may not serve the particular national need of the time.
