More from Joseph Kennedy
It is a great pleasure for Mrs. Kennedy and myself to welcome the Black Watch to the White House.
This has been the most successful campaign since 1945 and, as all of you know very well from your own experience, these things do not just happen; they are made to happen, and it has required a good deal of effort by your chairman and by all of you, and we are very grateful to you.
I want to express my thanks to all of you-particularly to your chairman, Mr. Geneen, for the effort that he has made--and all of you have made this year.
And to weaken and water down the pending program, to confuse and confine its flexibility with rigid restrictions and rejections, will not only harm our economy, it will hamper our security.
