John Fitzgerald Kennedy

As long as you live, Poland lives - 'Jeszce Polska nie zginela.'

We pay tribute to Pulaski today because the truths for which he fought in 1779 are just as strong today.

The decision which is made in the next 30 days is going to decide what kind of a Congress we're going to have for the next 2 years.

That's why I'm proud to be a citizen of this country in the great decade through which we're living.

That's why I am proud to be an American.

This is no time, in 1962, for rash talk which strengthens the claims of our adversaries.

It is up to the Congress to write them.

So I hope you'll come along in Indiana and send to the United States Senate Birch Bayh.

But we get this strength not to fight wars if we can help it, but to wage the peace.

I am delighted to come to Indiana because there isn't any State in the Union in this election that has the privilege of making a clearer choice, a clearer choice especially for the United States Senate.

Every Republican Congressman from this State voted against aid to dependent children.

I am proud to stand here, although I am not a candidate for office, and in all good faith ask you to give us some people who in 1963 and '64 will build a strong America upon which the world depends.

Are we going to have vote after vote which this country needs defeated by 3, 4, or 5, or are we going to elect a Congress which is committed to progress, which this country so desperately needs in a difficult and dangerous world?

I want to express to you our very great pleasure for coming out on a Saturday morning.

I hope you send him back because he is a distinguished Congressman and, more important than that, he is a distinguished American who stands for the best that is in this country.

Do you know that every single Congressman in this State voted against our feed grain bill, every Republican Congressman, which has helped increase the farm income on the average on every family farm in this State by 13 percent?

The fact of the matter is, when this administration came to power, in spite of the fact we had commitments around the globe, we had 11 divisions, 11 Army divisions, to meet responsibilities stretching from Viet-Nam to Berlin.

I think it is a good thing he is there because when this bill came up in the House of Representatives, 88 percent of the Republican Members of the House voted 'no.'

It is all of our business, because there isn't any doubt that all of the things that can make a difference to this town and other towns which have been hard hit by all of the technological and industrial changes that have come in this…

And I think that in this case you have distinguished candidates in this State: Elmer Holland, who wrote one of the most important pieces of legislation in the last 10 years, and that is legislation to retrain men and women who have worked…

Are we going to organize the Congress of the United States in January 1963, after losing 39 votes in the House?

Every generation faces different problems and every generation must come up with new solutions.

I have the responsibility of seeing that the laws are executed, but the Congress of the United States, the House and the Senate, must first write those laws.

I ask anyone in this State, after 30 years, to tell me one thing the Republican Party is for, one thing which they can point to and say, 'This is a Republican program for the people.'

The Congress of the United States makes the judgments, how much food we're going to produce, what kind of housing we're going to have, what kind of education we're going to have, what kind of assistance we're going to have.
