I don't think that we can exaggerate the great advantage which the Soviet Union secured in the fifties by being first in space.

We have a long way to go, but with your effort and commitment and the effort of all of our fellow Americans and their commitment, we shall be first.

Now, Therefore, I, John F. Kennedy, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thursday, October 11, 1962, as General Pulaski's Memorial Day; and I direct the appropriate officials of the Federal Government to display…

It gives me great pleasure on this occasion to send my personal greetings to the conference of chiefs of state of this Union.

May I extend my best wishes for continued progress.

I have watched with interest the development of your organization and its contribution to the goal of increased African economic and political development.

I APPRECIATE the message from your Secretary General, informing me that the first anniversary of the institution of the Afro-Malagasy Union will be celebrated on September 10th in the capital of the Republic of Gabon.

I also invite the people of the United States to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies in honor of the memory of General Pulaski and the high ideals for which he sacrificed his life.

I hope that the Congress will give its prompt support to this authorization, as it did, so effectively, a year ago

In my judgment this renewed authorization is necessary to permit prompt and effective responses, as necessary, to challenges which may be presented in any part of the free world

The American Government and people are prepared to help in this effort.

I have been profoundly shocked to learn of the great natural catastrophe which has struck Iran.

The hearts of the American people go out to those who have lost families or friends or seen their homes destroyed.

I urge all interested citizens and all civic and educational organizations to participate in this voter registration campaign

each qualified citizen has not only a right to vote but also a civic obligation and responsibility to do so

I know the people of Iran under your leadership will rise above this tragedy as well.

I am convinced that an immediate and intensive nationwide voter registration campaign could substantially reduce the number of qualified citizens

I want to express my thanks for all these generous presents and to welcome you to the White House.

We're glad to have you here.

I want to express my welcome to all of you and to express strong support for this program of exchanges between the United States and between your countries.

The Secretary of the Interior shall be responsible for the civil administration of Wake Island.

I am glad to see you.

Nothing in this order shall be deemed to reduce, limit, or otherwise modify the authority or responsibility of the Attorney General to represent the legal interests of the United States.

The Secretary of the Navy shall be responsible for the civil administration of Midway Island.

I think the people of Arkansas must be extremely proud of you.
