There are no national boundaries to that issue, and there is only a question of whether we can extend a helping hand.
John Fitzgerald 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.
This is the first time this contest has ever been won by an American group.
I think it's most encouraging to have people from so many different countries, including countries where the Government leaders don't always get on, but I think the people do.
This participation is an essential part of being a responsible citizen.
The activities of the National Government affect the lives of all of our citizens.
For the next 10 or 20 years the burdens will be placed completely upon our country for the preservation of freedom.
I must say that I am registered, I am supporting the party of my choice, and I intend to vote in November.
This is a very vital business, running a democracy, and it needs the help of all of our citizens.
Well, the American Constitution is an extraordinary document and it is certainly the most extraordinary written constitution in the history of the world, but it has required men to make it work, and it still does today.
It would make it easier to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons to countries not now possessing them.
Such a treaty would result in a definite downward turn in the arms race as it is represented by testing to develop weapons technology.
A GUARANTEED end to all nuclear testing in all environments is a fundamental objective of the free world.
We are deeply convinced that the achievement of this objective would serve our best national interests and the national interests of all the nations of the world.
The United States and the United Kingdom cannot emphasize too strongly the urgency we attach to the problem of ending all nuclear testing once and for all.
I know that the Commission will continue to make a beneficial contribution to our society.
It is appropriate on this date, therefore, that we take note of the progress made and the distance to be traveled to achieve full equality for all of our citizens.
It will be forty-two years tomorrow since women gained the right to participate fully in the governing of our country through the right to vote.
These are but two examples of the areas you are attacking where this type of discrimination has prevented the full use of talents and skills.
I believe that in 1962 the American people, realizing that the world is changing and that we must move forward with strength, will choose once again the Democratic Party.
The Bronze Star Medal and appurtenances thereto shall be of appropriate design approved by the Secretary of Defense.
No more than one Bronze Star Medal shall be awarded to any one person.
The Democratic Party traditionally has been identified with progress in this country.
I'm confident that from this conference at French Lick we will go forward with renewed commitments not to our party alone but to our country.
