I want to take this opportunity to express my very strong personal appreciation to Admiral Anderson.
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.
Private investment goes where there is a return on capital, which may or may not serve the particular national need of the time.
I have found his loyalty to his country, his good will towards all of us who work in the White House, and his willingness to take responsibility and to take it effectively to be--I know of no superior.
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 hope you will raise these same questions, and any others that we didn't answer, with them.
The United States has really gotten two for one in this case--Mrs. Anderson.
He goes now as our Ambassador to Portugal, a maritime power, a country with which we have had long and intimate relations, an ally in NATO, a country of great importance in the year 1963, and in the years to come.
No one can say whether the time has come for an easing of the struggle.
Their concentration of nuclear and conventional arms must still be deterred.
This is not a natural health hazard--and it is not a statistical issue.
We have a great obligation, all four nuclear powers have a great obligation, to use whatever time remains to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.
It will bring new problems, new challenges from the Communists, new dangers of relaxing our vigilance or of mistaking their intent.
The gains of illegal testing are obviously slight compared to their cost, and the hazard of discovery.
I, John F. Kennedy, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning July 28, 1963, as Veterinary Medicine Week;
This debate will involve military, scientific, and political experts, but it must be not left to them alone.
The test ban treaty constituted an important first step toward the reduction of international tension and the strengthening of peace.
