President John F. Kennedy's 60th News Conference - August 20, 1963

  • Опубликовано: 9 авг 2014
  • THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. The House of Representatives begins this week consideration of legislation vital to the security and well being of the United States and the free world, the Mutual Defense and Assistance Bill of 1963. I hope the House will give full support to the authorization recommended by the Foreign Affairs Committee.
    Our foreign aid program is essential to the continued strength of the free world. It gives us increased military security at a cost far lower than if we had to carry the entire burden alone. It gives protection against Communist internal takeover to free people who are yet not able to build solidly without outside help. It provides essential assurances to the new nations of the world that they can count on us in their effort to build a free society. Only with this assurance can they continue to maintain against the pressures that are brought upon them.
    This does not represent an impossible burden for the United States; indeed, it is only half as heavy as it was during the Marshall Plan. Then about 2 percent of our gross national product was allocated to foreign assistance. The program today costs only seven-tenths of one percent. The bill before the House has already been cut $850 million from our original estimate last January. Fortunately, the bill now has bipartisan political support. More than half of the Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs committee are in favor of the $4.1 billion authorization now before the House. This program is not an abstract set of numbers, but a set of concrete and continued actions in support of our national security. No party or group should call for a dynamic foreign policy and then seek to cripple this program. One wonders which concrete actions critics would like to stop. Should we scrap the Alliance For Progress, which is our best answer to the threat of communism in this Hemisphere? Should we deny help to India, the largest free power in Asia, as she seeks to strengthen herself against Communist China? Do we wish to dismantle our joint defenses in Korea, Taiwan, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, and Greece, countries along the very rim of Communist power? Do we want to weaken our front in Southeast Asia?
    This is no time to slacken our efforts. This fight is by no means over. The struggle is not finished. Therefore, as has been said on many occasions before, however tired we may get of this program, our adversaries are not tired. I don't think this country is tired, and the cause of freedom should certainly not be fatigued. Therefore, I think it is necessary that we continue to make this effort. I hope the House will support it. Eighty percent of these funds are spent in the United States, and I think it is necessary and essential, as the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, General Clay and others, that the House figure be passed.
    Experience shows us that the appropriation traditionally has been less. I think it is incumbent upon us to support the action of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and I hope the House of Representatives will.

I was Only 13 at the time, but at the time I felt he was doing good and things in the world were getting better. I believe that america has been on a down hill slope since that day in november 1963.

    Read “The Unspeakable” At the 22:00 mark President Kennedy remarks that there “are members of the military who support the nuclear test ban”. Not true. President Kennedy most likely made these remarks to irk the Joints of Staff of each military branch. The Joints of Staff collectively kept urging President Kennedy to send in troops wherever feasible to show superiority to the rest of the world. The Joints of Staff echoed what was asked- The nuclear test ban “ was a sign of weakness on the US’ s part.
    President Kennedy was seeking peaceful resolutions with the Soviet Union. President Kennedy was at odds with many about the Nuclear test ban.

      There was no danger, those missiles were obsolete and the Russians knew it. The White House told the Pentagon to remove those missiles TWICE and they failed to follow through leaving them as a wedge issue for Khrushev to try and save face demanding their removal. JFK agreed to their removal but not publicaly and insisted they were not a quid pro quo part of the agreement where 6 months would go by before they were removed.

    It's interesting that the cold war was billed as democracy vs communism. Not only is communism intended more as a system of economic distribution than of government, but the issues were always played as freedom vs totalitarianism. In light of documentation showing Corona bologna was planned out at least 10 years in advance, I suppose the US's having become statistically the worst police state in the history of civilization would have been foreseen as a conflict as to which side of freedom vs totalitarianism we'd have been on.
