The Greatest Speeches of President John F. Kennedy A compilation of JFK's most inspiring public speeches and a rich source of thought-provoking historical reference and political stratagems, The Greatest Speeches of President John F. Kennedy allows people to re-live or re-create the tense but optimistic atmosphere of the early 1960's, through brilliant speeches such as: We stand today on the edge of a New Frontier "; Acceptance Speech, 1960 Democratic Convention Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country (Inaugural Address, excerpted in its entirety); We seek peace - but we shall not surrender "; Berlin Crisis We choose to go to the moon "; Nation's Space Effort An already clear and present danger "; Cuban Crisis We face a moral crisis as a country and as a people "; Civil Rights Crisis The Proudest Boast "; Speech at the Berlin Wall Let us...step back from the shadows of war " Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Plus, JFK's Executive Order establishing the Peace Corps; a speech on "Landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth"; remarks from his undelivered speech at the Dallas Trade Mart; and remarks by President Johnson on awarding the Presidential Medal of Freedom to President Kennedy. It is amazing that JFK led America through so many dangerous times: the Bay of Pigs invasion, Berlin Crisis, Cuban Crisis, Civil Rights Bill, Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the decision to go to the moon, and civic upheaval - segregation and integration, race riots and lynchings. The historical and political lessons learned then are still applicable today. Readers and students young and old will be stimulated by his passion, encouraged by his hope, and inspired by his vision. Don't miss out on this treasury of the most famous speeches of the century!

President John F. Kennedy on the Nuclear Test Ban, July 26, 1963 Preface: On July 15, 1963, U.S., British, and Soviet negotiators met in Moscow to try to work our an agreement on a comprehensive test ban. But due to disagreements concerning on-site inspections, agreement on a comprehensive ban was not reached. Negotiators turned their attention to the conclusion of a limited ban, prohibiting tests in the atmosphere, outer space, and beneath the surface of the seas. On July 25, the Limited Test Ban Treaty was signed by the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union. On July 26, 1963, President Kennedy addressed the nation on the merits of the LTBT and asked for their support in ensuring Senate approval. On August 8, Kennedy placed the Treaty before the Senate for its advice and consent. On September 24, 1963, the LTBT received an overwhelmingly favorable vote of 80 to 14. On October 11, 1963, the Treaty went into effect. The following is President Kennedy's address on July 26: President Kennedy's Radio and Television Address to the American People, July 26, 1963

44. Invasion At Bay Of Pigs - History Of Cuba The CIAgenerated plan was a total failure in practice and an embarrassmentfor us president john F. kennedy at the United Nations and in the media. http://www.historyofcuba.com/history/funfacts/giron.htm

Fast Facts Bay of Pigs - The Basics In January 1959 the Cuban revolution triumphed over the U.S.-friendly dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. President Eisenhower was sad to learn that Cuba's revolution was a social revolution and not just the exchange of one crooked regime for another, and relations with the U.S. began to deteriorate. On March 17 1960 Eisenhower approved a covert plan of action against Cuba that included the use of a "powerful propaganda campaign," and the organization of a paramilitary force of Cuban exiles to invade the island. On April 17 1961 the attack was carried out, beginning with aerial bombings of key airports two days before in an attempt to eliminate the small Cuban air force. The night landing was immediately discovered and reported, and within three days the Revolution had prevailed. 1,189 invaders were taken prisoner, and 4 American pilots were killed in battle. The CIA-generated plan was a total failure in practice and an embarrassment for U.S. President John F. Kennedy at the United Nations and in the media. The prisoners were tried in mass televised trials, and most were released to the U.S. in exchange for $53 million in food and medicine within a year.

"Our First Line of Defense" Presidential Reflections on US Intelligence (U) Center for the Study of Intelligence JOHN F. KENNEDY (Portrait) John Kennedy was only 43 years old when he gave his inaugural address as the 35th President of the United States. His tragically short administration faced two major crises in which CIA played a prominent part: the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961 and the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962. DCI Allen Dulles lost his job after the former; CIA under his successor John McCone never shone brighter than it did in the latter. "I WANT, FIRST OF ALL, TO EXPRESS my appreciation to you all for the opportunity that this ceremony gives to tell you how grateful we are in the government and in the country for the services that the personnel of this Agency render to the country. "It is not always easy. Your successes are unheraldedyour failures are trumpeted. I sometimes have that feeling myself. But I am sure your realize how important is your work, how essentialit isand how, in the long sweep of history, how significant your efforts will be judged. "So I do want to express my appreciation to you now, and I'm confident that in the future you will continue to merit the appreciation of our country, as you have in the past."

1920's 1930's 1940's 1950's ... 1990's January 5, 1962 John F. Kennedy: A Way with the People The taste of victory was fresh and sweet to John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Just about a year ago, he sat in the drawing room of his Georgetown home and spoke breezily about the office he would assume. "Sure it's a big job," he said. "But I don't know anybody who can do it any better than I can. I'm going to be in it for four years. It isn't going to be so bad. you've got time to thinkand besides, the pay is pretty good." One year later, on a cool, grey day, the 35th President of the United States sat at his desk in the oval office of the White House and discussed the same subject. "This job is interesting," he said in that combination of Irish slur and broad Bostonese that has become immediately identifiable on all the world's radios, "but the possibilities for trouble are unlimited. It represents a chance to exercise your judgment on matters of importance. It takes a lot of thought and effort. It's been a tough first year, but then they're all going to be tough." The words, not particularly memorable, might have come from any of a thousand thoughtful executives after a year on the job. But here they were spoken by the still-young executive in the world's biggest job, and they showed the difference in attitude and tone that twelve months in the White House have worked on John F. Kennedy.
