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.

The tax credit plan puts special emphasis on stimulating new industry and therefore new employment.
We have been considering the Vice President going to Southeast Asia, and I think a decision will be reached on that in the next--perhaps over the weekend or the next few days.
I am pleased to announce that the United States has offered concrete support to a broad scale attack by the United Nations upon world hunger.
Determination was expressed to strengthen the United Nations Organization.
