  • "Jacqueline Kennedy makes a few brief remarks to the audience prior to Kennedy's arrival. In his speech, Kennedy reviews the issues which have traditionally been associated with the Democratic Party since the administrations of Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, and Harry Truman: housing, care for the aged, education, equality of opportunity, and civil rights. The problem of economic growth, the need for a free society based on a free economy to successfully stimulate that economy to allow full employment in a time of increasing automation, is a domestic problem. Yet Nixon has said he is a risk taker abroad and a conservative at home. Kennedy believes that domestic and foreign policies cannot be separated; as one succeeds, the other will succeed; as one fails, the other will fail. The Democratic Party has the qualities required to be a successful party at home. As the country moves forward at home, its success will be reflected in policies around the world."
  • "Kennedy reviews the issues which have traditionally been associated with the Democratic Party since the administrations of Woodrow Wilson, Franklin Roosevelt, and Harry Truman: housing, care for the aged, education, equality of opportunity, and civil rights. One of the problems facing the next president of the U.S. is that of economic growth, the need for a free society based on a free economy to successfully stimulate that economy to allow full employment in a time of increasing automation. Kennedy predicts that the economic problems facing McDowell County, W.Va., will soon face other industries across the U.S. That county now mines more coal than it ever has before, and more coal than any county in the U.S., yet it has more people getting surplus packages from the government than any other county in the U.S."
  • "Kennedy states that problems in the U.S., such as the problem of an abundant agriculture and an inability to distribute it effectively, are so-called domestic problems; Nixon has said "I am a risk taker abroad and a conservative at home." Kennedy believes that domestic and foreign policies cannot be so easily separated; as one succeeds, the other will succeed; as one fails, the other will fail. The Democratic Party has the quality, courage, initiative, energy, and vigor, and people in its ranks of sufficient physical and intellectual vitality to be a successful party at home. As the country moves forward at home, its success will be reflected in policies around the world. A Democratic administration would not wait for a crisis point to be reached before acting, as the Republican administration has done with the Latin American situation. American prestige is falling, but once the U.S. begins to move forward again, the cause of freedom will be advanced around the world."
