John Fitzgerald Kennedy

So I hope that this visit here which is more than ceremonial will be a reminder to all Americans of the number of Indians whose housing is inadequate, whose education is inadequate, whose employment is inadequate, whose health is…

This mission has been faithfully carried out and I'm delighted that we have a chance to see today the high quality of the cadets.

One of the first supplemental appropriation bills I signed last year after becoming President was a special appropriation for building Indian schools.

Academically, the Coast Guard is certainly second to none of its sister academies of the Navy, the Army, and the Air force.

I want to express our very warm welcome to you.

And in time of war you, with the American Navy, as you did in World War II and at the time of Korea, defend our coasts by defending the outermost reaches of the approaches to our country.

The words I like best in this very important mission are 'to graduate men with a liking for the sea,'.

I think that the American people have been too long unaware of the high quality and high caliber of the cadets of the Coast Guard.

The board shall report its findings to the President with respect to this dispute within thirty days from the date of this order.

No change, except by agreement, shall be made by the Pan American World Airways, Inc., or by its employees, in the conditions out of which this dispute arose.

The level of our economy, as I pointed out today, is high but, considering all the resources which this country has, it should be higher.

Inflation, which is the archenemy of consumers and housewives, has not wiped out these gains.

I think it is also important that the President of the United States report to the American people because he is, with the Vice President, the only American official elected by all of the people in all of the fifty States.

Every consumer and businessman in America listening to me tonight knows that he can safely spend and invest tomorrow with real confidence in the long-range future of the United States of America.

We know now much more than we did in the past about relieving the hardships of unemployment and about cushioning our economy against the business cycle.

I think we can be proud also of balancing our international payments-at least the progress that we have made--but we still have some distance to go.

Our businessmen are investing more than they did last year, though not as much as we would like.

We have therefore been obliged to recover not only from the recession of 1960-61, but also from the recession of 1958.

Our research laboratories are turning out new techniques and leading to new industries, and soon that crop of war babies, the boys and girls who were born during the war, the Second War and at the end of the war, will be going to schools…

Employment and income have also continued to rise.

I want to express my very warm appreciation to you for coming out in the rain.

I am glad to be in Maine. Whether it rains or shines I am privileged to be with you.

So I hope that you will regard this as the first installment in a long life of service in the most exciting career in the most exciting time.

This is an extraordinary action by this country, and I know that you are proud to take part in it.

I wish that all Americans could hear that litany of countries that you're going to, your willingness to do it.
