Additional Description

Transcript - Full

Senator John F. Kennedy goes to the people to make his position on every issue crystal clear. What you're concerned about and I'm concerned about is seeing if the United States can develop policy which will maintain the peace. My own feeling is that the best way to maintain the peace is to be strong, to be in a position where no one wants to challenge you, where no one can make an attack on you or feel they can cause you difficulty without suffering destruction themselves. So the best way to maintain the peace is by being strong, being prepared for any eventuality. Secondly, make sure that wherever we draw our lines of commitment, wherever we're going to defend, that it's clearly known. So I look with some optimism with the chances of maintaining the peace in the 60s and I must say that I want you to know that if I'm elected president, I'm going to devote all of my energies to that, if we've had enough war. For leadership in the 60s, vote for John F. Kennedy for president.
