  • "Governor Orville Freeman takes the stage, followed by Senator Hubert H. Humphrey, an unidentified man, and Kennedy. Kennedy steps up, waves to the crowd, then steps back down. Humphrey speaks at the podium. Kennedy takes the podium. He speaks. Preceded by fragmentary footage showing people setting up (?) the stage for the speech. Footage includes some cuts."
  • "Hubert Humphrey introduces Kennedy (fragment). Kennedy recalls his tough primary campaigns against Humphrey. He quotes Prince Bismarck on the breakdown of students in German universities. (One third broke down from overwork; one third broke down from dissipation; the last third ruled Germany.) Nixon says political party labels don't mean much; Kennedy disagrees. The two parties take different positions because they represent different interests; the Democratic Party speaks for the people. If the American people are realistic about the domestic and international situations, they can seize the opportunity to influence the world by initiating changes at home. The economic problems of Minnesota are tied to the U.S. economy as a whole. The U.S. is producing only 50 percent of its capacity in steel; its food reserve has not been used imaginatively; the St. Lawrence Seaway is not being used to capacity. Kennedy believes that "this country cannot possibly maintain itself unless it moves here at home.""
  • "Hubert Humphrey introduces Kennedy (fragment). Kennedy recalls his tough primary campaigns against Humphrey. Kennedy distinguishes between the Republican and Democratic parties; historically, the Republicans have voted against minimum wage, social security, medical care for the aged, and unemployment compensation. He disagrees with Nixon's Monday night claim that the goals of both parties are the same, that only the means differ. He explains that Khrushchev is spending a month in the U.S. to win the loyalty and commitments of the neutralists. The prestige and power of the U.S. are not increasing in relationship to that of the Communist world; the Democratic Party must present alternative courses of action. If the American people are realistic about the domestic and international situations, they can seize the opportunity to influence the world by initiating changes at home. The economic problems of Minnesota are tied to the U.S. economy as a whole. The U.S. is producing only 50 percent of its capacity in steel. Kennedy believes that "we can change the movement of history; the brightest days [are] "in the 1960s [when] the United States can fulfill destiny as the great defender of freedom at a time of maximum danger. But it requires us to realize where we are and what we must do." The next president must set before the American people "our unfinished business, to give an impression around the world of force and vitality." He closes with a quote from Emerson."
