Additional Description

Transcription - Full

One of the things that I believe are of greatest concern to us as Americans is the question of full employment. Whether every American who wants a job can find one at decent wages. That must be a national objective. This fall we've had more people out of work than we've had since the recession of 58 and the recession of 1954. And unless this administration or a new administration are prepared to go to work, we're going to have more people out of work in the winter of 1961. I believe we can do better. I believe our national policy should emphasize full employment. I believe a progressive administration. I believe the things for which the Democratic Party stands for can put this country back to work. I ask your help in this campaign for full employment, for a stronger America, for a working America. Vote for leadership in the 60s. Vote for John F. Kennedy.
