Most of all, we are both children of revolution, and it is my hope that the spirit of our revolution in the United States is as alive today in our country as is the spirit of your revolution here in Mexico.
John 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.
DONE at the City of Washington this twenty-ninth day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and eighty-sixth.
New factories and machinery mean little to the family without a home.
The White House, it seems to me, is becoming of greater and greater interest to Americans.
This started out, as Mrs. Kennedy tells in her foreword, to be, in a sense, a book for boys and girls so that they would get more out of their visit to the White House.
It was hoped that they would go over the book at home and read more about the Presidents who interested them most.
So I am grateful to all those who participated in a very important public service, and they are to be congratulated.
And I also want to express my warmest congratulations and appreciation to my wife.
