No real progress is possible unless the benefits of increased prosperity are shared by the people themselves.

We will be, in the 1960's, more than good neighbors.

The United States and Venezuela are bound together.

Mr. President, Mrs. Kennedy and I are delighted to be your guests and we are proud to be here among your people.

I'm more than happy to come to your country on my first visit as President of the United States, to one of our sister Republics in this hemisphere.

Liberty and economic progress go hand in hand, provided the people and the government together are committed to progress for the people.

We are prepared to help the Republic of Viet-Nam to protect its people and to preserve its independence.

I have already given the orders to get these programs underway.

I have received your recent letter in which you described so cogently the dangerous condition caused by North Viet-Nam's efforts to take over your country.

The United States, although not a party to the Accords, declared that it 'would view any renewal of the aggression in violation of the agreements with grave concern and as seriously threatening international peace and security.'

And I'm particularly appreciative and glad that I've been welcomed by you, Governor.
