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.

Maryland's nine electoral votes are as critical as any in this election.
We will make a promise to you that we will not come back to Louisville again if you will promise that on November 8, you will give us a great majority in this city and county.
I said on that debate:Mr. Lodge on 'Meet the Press' stated that if there ever was a question when we did not have the law on our side, it was in the U-2 incident.
I believe on November 8, when the people of this country make their judgment, what they want their country to be, I think they are coming with us.
The time has come to recognize that there is a steel crisis in America.
I don't think they are buying that line, 'You have never had it so good.'
I wish the Democratic caravan the best of luck and success on their journeys through the State.
Accordingly, it is my intention, if I am elected President, to pursue the following course of action:
If that is a test of prestige, then this country is in serious trouble.
