They carried out their most notorious stunt by exploding a toilet seat with a powerful firecracker. In the ensuing chapel assembly, the strict headmaster, George St. John, brandished the toilet seat and spoke of certain 'muckers' who would 'spit in our sea'. The defiant Kennedy took the cue and named his group 'The Muckers Club', which included roommate and friend.

Later, in September 1936, Kennedy enrolled at and his application essay stated: 'The reasons that I have for wishing to go to Harvard are several. I feel that Harvard can give me a better background and a better liberal education than any other university. I have always wanted to go there, as I have felt that it is not just another college, but is a university with something definite to offer. Then too, I would like to go to the same college as my father.

To be a 'Harvard man' is an enviable distinction, and one that I sincerely hope I shall attain.' He produced that year's annual 'Freshman Smoker', called by a reviewer 'an elaborate entertainment, which included in its cast outstanding personalities of the radio, screen and sports world.'

He tried out for the football, golf, and swimming teams and earned a spot on the varsity swimming team. Kennedy also sailed in the and won the 1936 Nantucket Sound Star Championship.

In July 1937, Kennedy sailed to France—taking his convertible—and spent ten weeks driving through Europe with Billings. In June 1938, Kennedy sailed overseas with his father and older brother to work at the, where his father was President 's U.S.

Kennedy was sent as his father's representative to help with arrangements for American survivors of the before flying back to the U.S.

From, to, on his first transatlantic flight. When Kennedy was an upperclassman at Harvard, he became a more serious student and developed an interest in political philosophy. He made the in his junior year. In 1940, Kennedy completed his thesis, 'Appeasement in Munich', about British participation in the. The thesis became a bestseller under the title.

In addition to addressing Britain's failure to strengthen its military in the lead-up to World War II, the book also called for an against the rising totalitarian powers. While Kennedy became increasingly supportive of U.S. Intervention in World War II, his father's isolationist beliefs resulted in the latter's dismissal as ambassador to the United Kingdom, creating a split between the Kennedy and Roosevelt families.

Kennedy spotted a Japanese destroyer nearby and attempted to turn to attack, when PT-109 was rammed suddenly at an angle and cut in half by the, costing two PT-109 crew members their lives.

Kennedy gathered around the wreckage his surviving ten crew members including those injured, to vote on whether to 'fight or surrender'. Kennedy stated: 'There's nothing in the book about a situation like this. A lot of you men have families and some of you have children.

What do you want to do? I have nothing to lose.' Shunning surrender, the men swam towards a small island three miles away. Despite re-injuring his back in the collision, Kennedy towed a badly burned crewman through the water to the island with a life jacket strap clenched between his teeth, and later to a second island, where his crew was subsequently rescued on August 8.

After the war, Kennedy felt that the medal he had received for heroism was not a combat award and asked that he be reconsidered for the for which he had been recommended initially. (His father also requested the Silver Star, which is awarded for gallantry in action, for his son). In 1950, The offered Kennedy a in recognition of his meritorious service, but he would have to return his Navy and Marine Corps Medal in order to receive it. He declined the medal.

In 1959, the Navy again offered him the Bronze Star. Kennedy responded, repeating his original request concerning the award. He received the same response from the Navy as he had in 1950. The Navy said his actions were a lifesaving case.

House of Representatives (1947–1953) At the urging of Kennedy's father, U.S. Representative vacated his seat in the strongly Democratic 11th Congressional district in Massachusetts to become mayor of Boston in 1946. With his father financing and running his campaign, Kennedy won the Democratic primary with 12 percent of the vote, defeating ten other candidates. Though Republicans took control of the House in the, Kennedy defeated his Republican opponent in the general election, taking 73 percent of the vote. Along with and, Kennedy was one of several World War II veterans first elected to Congress that year.

He also supported and opposed the, which restricted the power of. Though not as vocal an anticommunist as McCarthy, Kennedy supported the, which required Communists to register with the government, and he deplored the '.' Senate (1953–1960). Kennedy endorsing for the presidential nomination at the in As early as 1949, Kennedy began preparing to run for the Senate in against Republican three-term incumbent.

Joseph Kennedy again financed and managed his son's candidacy, while John Kennedy's younger brother emerged as an important member of the campaign. In the presidential election, General carried Massachusetts by a margin of 208,000 votes, but Kennedy defeated Lodge by 70,000 votes for the Senate seat.

The following year, he married. Kennedy underwent several spinal operations over the next two years.

Often absent from the Senate, he was at times critically ill and received Catholic. During his convalescence in 1956, he published, a book about U.S.

Senators who risked their careers for their personal beliefs, for which he won the in 1957. Rumors that this work was co-written by his close adviser and,, were confirmed in Sorensen's 2008 autobiography. At the, Kennedy gave the nominating speech for the party's presidential nominee,. Stevenson let the convention select the Vice Presidential nominee.

Kennedy finished second in the balloting, losing to Senator of Tennessee but receiving national exposure as a result. One of the matters demanding Kennedy's attention in the Senate was President Eisenhower's bill for the. Kennedy cast a procedural vote on this, which was considered by some as an appeasement of Southern Democratic opponents of the bill. Kennedy did vote for Title III of the act, which would have given the Attorney General powers to enjoin, but Majority Leader agreed to let the provision die as a compromise measure.

Kennedy also voted for Title IV, termed the 'Jury Trial Amendment'. Many civil rights advocates at the time criticized that vote as one which would weaken the act. A final compromise bill, which Kennedy supported, was passed in September 1957. Interviews Senator Kennedy on (1959). In 1958, Kennedy was re-elected to a second term in the Senate, defeating his Republican opponent, Boston lawyer Vincent J.

Celeste, by a wide margin of 874,608 votes; this represented the largest ever margin in Massachusetts politics. It was during his re-election campaign that Kennedy's press secretary at the time,, put together a film entitled The U.S.

Senator John F. Kennedy Story, which exhibited a day in the life of the Senator and showcased his family life as well as the inner workings of his office. It was the most comprehensive film produced about Kennedy up to that time.

In the aftermath of his re-election, Kennedy began preparing to run for president in 1960. While Kennedy's father was a strong supporter of Senator Joseph McCarthy, McCarthy was also a friend of the Kennedy family. As well, Bobby Kennedy worked for McCarthy's subcommittee, and McCarthy dated Kennedy sister Patricia.

In 1954, the Senate voted to censure McCarthy and Kennedy drafted a speech supporting the censure. However, it was not delivered because Kennedy was hospitalized at the time. The speech had the potential of putting Kennedy in the position of participating procedurally by 'pairing' his vote against that of another senator. Although Kennedy never indicated how he would have voted, the episode damaged his support among members of the community, including, in the 1956 and 1960 elections. 1960 presidential election. Kennedy campaigns with his wife Jacqueline in, March 1960 On January 2, 1960, Kennedy announced his candidacy for the.

Though some questioned Kennedy's youth and experience, his charisma and eloquence earned him numerous supporters. His greatest obstacle to winning the nomination may have been his religion. Many Americans held, but his vocal support of the helped to defuse the issue. His religion also helped him win a devoted following among many Catholic voters.

Kennedy faced several potential challengers for the Democratic nomination, including Senate Majority Leader, Adlai Stevenson, and Senator. Kennedy traveled extensively to build his support among Democratic elites and voters. At the time, party officials controlled most of the delegates, but several states also held primaries, and Kennedy sought to win several primaries to boost his chances of winning the nomination. In his first major test, Kennedy won the Wisconsin primary, effectively ending Humphrey's hopes of winning the presidency. Nonetheless, Kennedy and Humphrey faced each other in a competitive West Virginia primary in which Kennedy could not benefit from a Catholic bloc, as he had in Wisconsin.

Kennedy won the West Virginia primary, impressing many in the party, but at the start of the, it was unclear whether he would win the nomination. Kennedy and Richard Nixon participate in the nation's first televised, Washington, D.C., 1960. When Kennedy entered the convention, he had the most delegates, but not enough to ensure he would win the nomination. Stevenson—the 1952 and 1956 presidential nominee—remained very popular in the party, while Johnson also hoped to win the nomination with the support of party leaders.

Kennedy's candidacy also faced opposition from former president, who worried about Kennedy's lack of experience. Kennedy knew that a second ballot could result in the nomination of Johnson or another candidate, and his well-organized campaign was able to earn the support of just enough delegates to win the presidential nomination on the first ballot. Kennedy ignored the opposition of his brother and some of his liberal supporters when he chose Johnson as his vice presidential nominee.

He believed that the Texas Senator could help him win support in the. In accepting the presidential nomination, Kennedy gave his well-known ' speech, saying: 'For the problems are not all solved and the battles are not all won—and we stand today on the edge of a New Frontier. But the New Frontier of which I speak is not a set of promises—it is a set of challenges. It sums up not what I intend to offer the American people, but what I intend to ask of them.'

Outgoing meets with John F. Kennedy on December 6, 1960 At the start of the fall general election campaign, Republican nominee Richard Nixon, the incumbent vice president, held a six-point lead in the polls. Major issues included how to get the economy moving again, Kennedy's Roman Catholicism, the, and whether the space and missile programs had surpassed those of the U.S. To address fears that his being Catholic would impact his decision-making, he famously told the Greater Houston Ministerial Association on September 12, 1960: 'I am not the Catholic candidate for president. I am the Democratic Party candidate for president who also happens to be a Catholic.

I do not speak for my Church on public matters – and the Church does not speak for me.' Kennedy questioned rhetorically whether one-quarter of Americans were relegated to second-class citizenship just because they were Catholic, and once stated that: 'No one asked me my religion [serving the Navy] in the South Pacific.' In September and October, Kennedy squared off against Nixon in the first televised in U.S. During these programs, Nixon had a sore, injured leg, and his ' was perspiring as he looked tense and uncomfortable. Kennedy, on the other hand, chose to avail himself of makeup services and appeared relaxed, which led the huge television audience to favor him as the winner. Radio listeners either thought that Nixon had won or that the debates were a draw.

The debates are now considered a milestone in American political history—the point at which the medium of television began to play a dominant role in politics. 1960 electoral vote results Kennedy's campaign gained momentum after the first debate, and he pulled slightly ahead of Nixon in most polls.

On Election Day, Kennedy defeated Nixon in one of the closest presidential elections of the 20th century. In the national popular vote,, Kennedy led Nixon by just two-tenths of one percent (49.7% to 49.5%), while in the, he won 303 votes to Nixon's 219 (269 were needed to win). Fourteen electors from Mississippi and Alabama refused to support Kennedy because of his support for the; they voted for Senator of Virginia, as did an elector from Oklahoma.

Kennedy was sworn in as the 35th president at noon on January 20, 1961. In, he spoke of the need for all Americans to be active citizens, famously saying: 'Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.' He asked the nations of the world to join together to fight what he called the 'common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself.'

He added: All this will not be finished in the first one hundred days. Nor will it be finished in the first one thousand days, nor in the life of this Administration, nor even perhaps in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.' In closing, he expanded on his desire for greater internationalism: 'Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world, ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you.

The address reflected Kennedy's confidence that his administration would chart an historically significant course in both domestic policy and foreign affairs. The contrast between this optimistic vision and the pressures of managing daily political realities at home and abroad would be one of the main tensions running through the early years of his administration. Kennedy speaking at in Houston on September 12, 1962. Lyndon Johnson can be seen behind him.

Kennedy brought to the White House a contrast in organization compared to the decision-making structure of former-General Eisenhower; and he wasted no time in scrapping Eisenhower's methods. Kennedy preferred the organizational structure of a wheel with all the spokes leading to the president. He was ready and willing to make the increased number of quick decisions required in such an environment. He selected a mixture of experienced and inexperienced people to serve in his cabinet.

'We can learn our jobs together', he stated. Much to the chagrin of his economic advisors who wanted him to reduce taxes, Kennedy quickly agreed to a balanced budget pledge. This was needed in exchange for votes to expand the membership of the in order to give the Democrats a majority in setting the legislative agenda.

Kennedy focused on immediate and specific issues facing the administration, and quickly voiced his impatience with pondering of deeper meanings. Once began a diatribe about the growth of communism, and Kennedy abruptly cut him off, asking, 'What do you want me to do about that today?' Kennedy approved 's controversial decision to award the contract for the TFX (Tactical Fighter Experimental) fighter-bomber to (the choice of the civilian Defense department) over (the choice of the military). At the request of Senator, Senator held 46 days of mostly closed-door hearings before the investigating the TFX contract from February to November 1963. During the summer of 1962, Kennedy had a secret taping system set up in the White House, most likely to aid his future memoir.

It recorded many conversations with Kennedy and his Cabinet members, including those in relation to the 'Cuban Missile Crisis'. Foreign policy. Foreign trips of John F. Kennedy during his presidency President Kennedy's foreign policy was dominated by American confrontations with the, manifested by proxy contests in the early stage of the. In 1961, Kennedy anxiously anticipated a summit with Soviet. He started off on the wrong foot by reacting aggressively to a routine Khrushchev speech on Cold War confrontation in early 1961.

The speech was intended for domestic audiences in the Soviet Union, but Kennedy interpreted it as a personal challenge. His mistake helped raise tensions going into the of June 1961.

Kennedy with, the first head of an independent, March 1961 On the way to the summit, Kennedy stopped in Paris to meet, who advised him to ignore Khrushchev's abrasive style. The French president feared the United States' presumed influence in Europe. Nevertheless, de Gaulle was quite impressed with the young president and his family. Kennedy picked up on this in his speech in Paris, saying that he would be remembered as 'the man who accompanied Jackie Kennedy to Paris.'

On June 4, 1961, the president met with Khrushchev in Vienna and left the meetings angry and disappointed that he had allowed the premier to bully him, despite the warnings he had received. Khrushchev, for his part, was impressed with the president's intelligence, but thought him weak.

Kennedy did succeed in conveying the bottom line to Khrushchev on the most sensitive issue before them, a proposed treaty between Moscow and. He made it clear that any such treaty which interfered with U.S access rights in would be regarded as an act of war.

Shortly after the president returned home, the U.S.S.R. Announced its intention to sign a treaty with East Berlin, abrogating any third-party occupation rights in either sector of the city. Kennedy, depressed and angry, assumed that his only option was to prepare the country for nuclear war, which he personally thought had a one-in-five chance of occurring. In the weeks immediately after the Vienna summit, more than 20,000 people fled from East Berlin to the western sector in reaction to statements from the USSR. Kennedy began intensive meetings on the Berlin issue, where took the lead in recommending a military buildup alongside NATO allies. In a July 1961 speech, Kennedy announced his decision to add $3.25 billion to the defense budget, along with over 200,000 additional troops, stating that an attack on West Berlin would be taken as an attack on the U.S. The speech received an 85% approval rating.

Kennedy with the Italian Prime Minister, at the, in 1963 The following month, the Soviet Union and East Berlin began blocking any further passage of East Berliners into West Berlin and erected barbed wire fences across the city, which were quickly upgraded to the. Kennedy's initial reaction was to ignore this, as long as free access from West to East Berlin continued. This course was altered when it was learned that West Berliners had lost confidence in the defense of their position by the United States. Kennedy sent Vice President Johnson, along with a host of military personnel, in convoy through West Germany, including Soviet-armed checkpoints, to demonstrate the continued commitment of the U.S. To West Berlin. Kennedy gave a speech at on May 5, 1960, regarding America's conduct in the emerging Cold War.

The address detailed how American foreign policy should be conducted towards African nations, noting a hint of support for modern African nationalism by saying that: 'For we, too, founded a new nation on revolt from colonial rule.' Cuba and the Bay of Pigs Invasion. The President and Vice President take a leisurely stroll on the White House grounds The prior Eisenhower administration had created a plan to overthrow 's regime in Cuba. The plan, led by the (CIA), with help from the U.S. Military, was for an invasion of Cuba by a counter-revolutionary insurgency composed of U.S.-trained, anti-Castro Cuban exiles led by CIA paramilitary officers. The intention was to invade Cuba and instigate an uprising among the Cuban people in hopes of removing Castro from power.

Kennedy approved the final invasion plan on April 4, 1961. The began on April 17, 1961. Fifteen hundred U.S.-trained Cubans, called, landed on the island.

Air support was provided.,, later stated that they thought the president would authorize any action required for success once the troops were on the ground. By April 19, 1961, the Cuban government had captured or killed the invading exiles, and Kennedy was forced to negotiate for the release of the 1,189 survivors. After twenty months, Cuba released the captured exiles in exchange for $53 million worth of food and medicine. The incident made Castro wary of the U.S. And led him to believe that another invasion would occur.

According to biographer, Kennedy focused primarily on the political repercussions of the plan rather than military considerations. When it failed, he was convinced that the plan was a setup to make him look bad. He took responsibility for the failure, saying: 'We got a big kick in the leg and we deserved it. But maybe we'll learn something from it.' In late 1961, the White House formed the Special Group (Augmented), headed by Robert Kennedy and including, Secretary, and others.

The group's objective—to overthrow Castro via espionage, sabotage, and other covert tactics—was never pursued. Cuban Missile Crisis. Soviet Premier and Kennedy confer in, 1961 On October 14, 1962, CIA spy planes took photographs of intermediate-range ballistic missile sites being built in Cuba by the Soviets. The photos were shown to Kennedy on October 16; a consensus was reached that the missiles were offensive in nature and thus posed an immediate nuclear threat.

Kennedy faced a dilemma: if the U.S. Attacked the sites, it might lead to with the U.S.S.R., but if the U.S. Did nothing, it would be faced with the increased threat from close-range nuclear weapons. Would also appear to the world as less committed to the defense of the hemisphere. On a personal level, Kennedy needed to show resolve in reaction to Khrushchev, especially after the Vienna summit.

More than a third of the members of the (NSC) favored an unannounced air assault on the missile sites, but for some of them this conjured up an image of ' in reverse'. There was also some concern from the international community (asked in confidence), that the assault plan was an overreaction in light of the fact that missiles had been placed in Italy and Turkey by Eisenhower in 1958. There could also be no assurance that the assault would be 100% effective. In concurrence with a majority-vote of the NSC, Kennedy decided on a naval quarantine.

On October 22 he dispatched a message to Khrushchev and announced the decision on TV. Navy would stop and inspect all Soviet ships arriving off Cuba, beginning October 24.

The gave unanimous support to the removal of the missiles. The president exchanged two sets of letters with Khrushchev, to no avail. (UN) Secretary General requested that both parties reverse their decisions and enter a cooling-off period. Khrushchev agreed, Kennedy did not.

One Soviet-flagged ship was stopped and boarded. On October 28 Khrushchev agreed to dismantle the missile sites, subject to UN inspections. Publicly promised never to invade Cuba and privately agreed to remove its Jupiter missiles from Italy and Turkey, which were by then obsolete and had been supplanted by submarines equipped with missiles. This crisis brought the world closer to nuclear war than at any point before or since.

In the end, 'the humanity' of the two men prevailed. The crisis improved the image of American willpower and the president's credibility. Kennedy's approval rating increased from 66% to 77% immediately thereafter. Latin America and communism. Kennedy with Chilean President, on an official visit in December 1962 Arguing that 'those who make peaceful revolution impossible, will make violent revolution inevitable,' Kennedy sought to contain the perceived threat of communism in by establishing the, which sent aid to some countries and sought greater standards in the region. He worked closely with for the development of the Alliance of Progress, and began working towards the autonomy of the Commonwealth of.

When the president took office, the Eisenhower administration, through the CIA, had begun formulating plans for the assassination of Castro in Cuba and in the. Kennedy privately instructed the CIA that any such planning must include plausible deniability by the U.S. His public position was in opposition. In June 1961 the Dominican Republic's leader was assassinated; in the days following the event, Undersecretary of State led a cautious reaction by the nation. Robert Kennedy, who saw an opportunity for the U.S., called Bowles 'a gutless bastard' to his face. Kennedy's announcement of the establishment of the Problems playing this file?

In one of his first presidential acts, Kennedy asked Congress to create the. His brother-in-law,, was its first director. Through this program, Americans volunteered to help underdeveloped nations in areas such as education, farming, health care, and construction.

Main articles:,,,,,,,,, and When briefing Kennedy, Eisenhower emphasized that the communist threat in Southeast Asia required priority; Eisenhower considered to be 'the cork in the bottle' in regards to the regional threat.

In March 1961, Kennedy voiced a change in policy from supporting a 'free' Laos to a 'neutral' Laos, indicating privately that, and not Laos, should be deemed America's tripwire for communism's spread in the area. In May, he dispatched Lyndon Johnson to meet with South Vietnam's President. Johnson assured Diem more aid to mold a fighting force that could resist the communists. Kennedy announced a change of policy from support to partnership with Diem to defeat of communism in. During his administration, Kennedy continued policies that provided political and economic support, and military advice and support, to the South Vietnamese government. Late in 1961, the began assuming a predominant presence, initially seizing the provincial capital of Phuoc Vinh. Kennedy increased the number of military advisors and in the area, from 11,000 in 1962 to 16,000 by late 1963, but he was reluctant to order a full-scale deployment of troops.

A year and three months later on March 8, 1965, his successor, President Lyndon Johnson, committed the first combat troops to Vietnam and greatly escalated U.S. Involvement, with forces reaching 184,000 that year and 536,000 in 1968. In late 1961, President Kennedy sent, then director of the State Department's, to assess the situation in Vietnam.

There, Hilsman met, head of the British Advisory Mission to South Vietnam and the was formed. It was approved by Kennedy and South Vietnam President. It was implemented in early 1962 and involved some forced relocation, village internment, and segregation of rural South Vietnamese into new communities where the peasantry would be isolated from Communist insurgents.

It was hoped that these new communities would provide security for the peasants and strengthen the tie between them and the central government. By November 1963 the program waned and officially ended in 1964.

In early 1962, Kennedy formally authorized escalated involvement when he signed the National Security Action Memorandum – 'Subversive Insurgency (War of Liberation)'. ', a large-scale aerial defoliation effort, began on the roadsides of South Vietnam.. Depending on which assessment Kennedy accepted (Department of Defense or State) there had been zero or modest progress in countering the increase in communist aggression in return for an expanded U.S.

Kennedy with future in in 1963 In April 1963, Kennedy assessed the situation in Vietnam: 'We don't have a prayer of staying in Vietnam. Those people hate us.

They are going to throw our asses out of there at any point. But I can't give up that territory to the communists and get the American people to re-elect me.' On August 21, just as the new U.S. Ambassador arrived, Diem and his brother ordered South Vietnam forces, funded and trained by the CIA, to quell Buddhist demonstrations. The crackdowns heightened expectations of a to remove Diem with (or perhaps by) his brother, Nhu. Lodge was instructed to try to get Diem and Nhu to step down and leave the country.

Diem would not listen to Lodge. (DEPTEL 243), dated August 24, followed, declaring Washington would no longer tolerate Nhu's actions, and Lodge was ordered to pressure Diem to remove Nhu.

Lodge concluded that the only option was to get the South Vietnamese generals to overthrow Diem and Nhu. At week's end, orders were sent to Saigon and throughout Washington to 'destroy all coup cables'. At the same time, the first formal anti-Vietnam war sentiment was expressed by U.S. Clergy from the Ministers' Vietnam Committee.

A White House meeting in September was indicative of the different ongoing appraisals; the president was given updated assessments after by the Department of Defense (General ) and the State Department (). Krulak said that the military fight against the communists was progressing and being won, while Mendenhall stated that the country was civilly being lost to any U.S. Kennedy reacted, saying: 'Did you two gentlemen visit the same country?' The president was unaware that the two men were at such odds that they had not spoken to each other on the return flight. In October 1963, the president appointed Defense Secretary McNamara and General to a Vietnam mission in another effort to synchronize the information and formulation of policy.

The objective of the 'emphasized the importance of getting to the bottom of the differences in reporting from U.S. Representatives in Vietnam.' In meetings with McNamara, Taylor, and Lodge, Diem again refused to agree to governing measures, helping to dispel McNamara's previous optimism about Diem. Taylor and McNamara were enlightened by Vietnam's vice president, (choice of many to succeed Diem), who in detailed terms obliterated Taylor's information that the military was succeeding in the countryside. At Kennedy's insistence, the mission report contained a recommended schedule for troop withdrawals: 1,000 by year's end and complete withdrawal in 1965, something the NSC considered a strategic fantasy. In late October, intelligence wires again reported that a coup against the Diem government was afoot. The source, Vietnamese General (also known as 'Big Minh'), wanted to know the U.S.

Kennedy instructed Lodge to offer covert assistance to the coup, excluding assassination. On November 1, 1963, South Vietnamese generals, led by 'Big Minh',, arresting. Kennedy was shocked by the deaths. News of the coup led to renewed confidence initially—both in America and in South Vietnam—that the war might be won.

Drafted a National Security Action Memo to present to Kennedy upon his return from Dallas. It reiterated the resolve to fight communism in Vietnam, with increasing military and economic aid and expansion of operations into Laos and Cambodia. Before leaving for Dallas, Kennedy told that 'after the first of the year. [he wanted] an in depth study of every possible option, including how to get out of there. To review this whole thing from the bottom to the top.' When asked what he thought the president meant, Forrestal said, 'it was devil's advocate stuff.'

Historians disagree on whether Vietnam would have escalated if Kennedy not been assassinated and had won re-election in 1964. Fueling the debate were statements made by Secretary of Defense McNamara in the film ' that Kennedy was strongly considering pulling the United States out of Vietnam after the 1964 election. The film also contains a tape recording of Lyndon Johnson stating that Kennedy was planning to withdraw, a position in which Johnson disagreed.

Kennedy had signed National Security Action Memorandum (NSAM) 263, dated October 11, which ordered the withdrawal of 1,000 military personnel by the end of the year, and the bulk of them out by 1965. Such an action would have been a policy reversal, but Kennedy was moving in a less hawkish direction since his speech about world peace at on June 10, 1963. At the time of Kennedy's death, no final policy decision had been made as to Vietnam.

In 2008, wrote: 'I would like to believe that Kennedy would have found a way to withdraw all American instructors and advisors [from Vietnam]. I do not believe he knew in his last weeks what he was going to do.' Sorensen added that, in his opinion, Vietnam 'was the only foreign policy problem handed off by JFK to his successor in no better, and possibly worse, shape than it was when he inherited it.' Involvement in the region escalated until his successor Lyndon Johnson directly deployed regular U.S. Military forces for fighting the. After Kennedy's assassination, President Johnson signed NSAM 273 on November 26, 1963. It reversed Kennedy's decision to withdraw 1,000 troops, and reaffirmed the policy of assistance to the South Vietnamese.

American University speech. Speech from by John F.

Kennedy, June 10, 1963 (duration 26:47) Problems playing this file? On June 10, 1963, Kennedy, at the high point of his rhetorical powers, delivered the in Washington, D.C. Also known as 'Strategy of Peace', Kennedy not only outlined a plan to curb nuclear arms, but also 'laid out a hopeful, yet realistic route for world peace at a time when the U.S.

And Soviet Union faced the potential for an escalating nuclear arms race.' The President wished: to discuss a topic on which too often ignorance abounds and the truth is too rarely perceived—yet it is the most important topic on earth: world peace.

I speak of peace because of the new face of war.in an age when a singular nuclear weapon contains ten times the explosive force delivered by all the allied forces in the Second World War. An age when the deadly poisons produced by a nuclear exchange would be carried by wind and air and soil and seed to the far corners of the globe and to generations yet unborn. I speak of peace, therefore, as the necessary rational end of rational men. World peace, like community peace, does not require that each man love his neighbor—it requires only that they live together in mutual tolerance. Our problems are man-made—therefore they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants.

The president also made two announcements—that the Soviets had expressed a desire to negotiate a nuclear test ban treaty, and that the U.S had postponed planned atmospheric tests. West Berlin speech. In 1963, Germany was enduring a time of particular vulnerability due to Soviet aggression to the east, and the impending retirement of West German Chancellor. At the same time, French President was trying to build a Franco-West German counterweight to the American and Soviet spheres of influence.

To Kennedy's eyes, this Franco-German cooperation seemed directed against 's influence in Europe. On June 26, President Kennedy gave a public speech in; he reiterated the American commitment to Germany and criticized communism. He was met with an ecstatic response from a massive audience. Kennedy used the construction of the Berlin Wall as an example of the failures of communism: 'Freedom has many difficulties, and democracy is not perfect. But we have never had to put a wall up to keep our people in, to prevent them from leaving us.' The speech is known for its famous phrase ' ('I am a citizen of Berlin'). A million people were on the street for the speech.

He remarked to afterwards: 'We'll never have another day like this one, as long as we live.' See also: Israel In 1960, Kennedy stated: 'Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.'

Subsequently, as president, Kennedy initiated the creation of security ties with Israel, and he is credited as the founder of the US-Israeli military alliance (which would be continued under subsequent presidents). Kennedy ended the arms embargo that the Eisenhower and Truman administrations had enforced on Israel. Describing the protection of Israel as a moral and national commitment, he was the first to introduce the concept of a 'special relationship' (as he described it to ) between the US and Israel. Of, Kennedy, and in the on April 13, 1962 Relations between the United States and Iraq became strained following the overthrow of the Iraqi monarchy on July 14, 1958, which resulted in the declaration of a republican government led by Brigadier. On June 25, 1961, Qasim mobilized troops along the border between Iraq and, declaring the latter nation 'an indivisible part of Iraq' and causing a short-lived 'Kuwait Crisis'. The United Kingdom—which had just granted Kuwait independence on June 19, and whose economy was heavily dependent on Kuwaiti oil—responded on July 1 by dispatching 5,000 troops to the country to deter an Iraqi invasion. At the same time, Kennedy dispatched a U.S.

Navy task force to, and the UK (at the urging of the Kennedy administration) brought the dispute to United Nations Security Council, where the proposed resolution was vetoed by the Soviet Union. The situation was resolved in October, when the British troops were withdrawn and replaced by a 4,000-strong force.

In December 1961, Qasim's government passed Public Law 80, which restricted the British- and American-owned (IPC)'s to those areas in which oil was actually being produced, effectively expropriating 99.5% of the IPC concession. Officials were alarmed by the expropriation as well as the recent Soviet veto of an Egyptian-sponsored UN resolution requesting the admittance of Kuwait as UN member state, which they believed to be connected. Senior National Security Council adviser worried that if the IPC ceased production in response, Qasim might 'grab Kuwait' (thus achieving a 'stranglehold' on Middle Eastern oil production), or 'throw himself into Russian arms.'

Komer also made note of widespread rumors that a nationalist coup against Qasim could be imminent, and had the potential to 'get Iraq back on [a] more neutral keel.' In April 1962, the State Department issued new guidelines on Iraq that were intended to increase American influence there. Meanwhile, Kennedy instructed the CIA—under the direction of —to begin making preparations for a military coup against Qasim. The anti-imperialist and anti-communist on February 8, 1963. While there have been persistent rumors that the CIA orchestrated the coup, declassified documents and the testimony of former CIA officers indicate that there was no direct American involvement, although the CIA was actively seeking a suitable replacement for Qasim within the Iraqi military and had been informed of an earlier Ba'athist coup plot. The Kennedy administration was pleased with the outcome and ultimately approved a $55-million arms deal for Iraq. President Kennedy in motorcade in Patrick Street,, in on June 28, 1963 During his four-day visit to his ancestral home of in June 1963, Kennedy accepted a grant of from the and received honorary degrees from the and.

He visited the cottage at Dunganstown, near, where his ancestors had lived before emigrating to America. He also became the first foreign leader to address the (the Irish parliament). On December 22, 2006, the Irish released declassified police documents indicating that security was heightened as Kennedy was the subject of three death threats during this visit. Nuclear Test Ban Treaty.

Main article: Troubled by the long-term dangers of and, Kennedy and Khrushchev agreed to negotiate a nuclear test ban treaty, originally conceived in Adlai Stevenson's 1956 presidential campaign. In their Vienna summit meeting in June 1961, Khrushchev and Kennedy reached an informal understanding against nuclear testing, but the Soviet Union began testing nuclear weapons that September. The United States responded by conducting tests five days later. Shortly thereafter, new U.S. Satellites began delivering images which made it clear that the Soviets were substantially behind the U.S. In the arms race. Nevertheless, the greater nuclear strength of the U.S.

Was of little value as long as the U.S.S.R. Perceived itself to be at parity. In July 1963, Kennedy sent to Moscow to negotiate a treaty with the Soviets. The introductory sessions included Khrushchev, who later delegated Soviet representation to. It quickly became clear that a comprehensive test ban would not be implemented, due largely to the reluctance of the Soviets to allow inspections that would verify compliance. Ultimately, the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union were the initial signatories to a limited treaty, which prohibited atomic testing on the ground, in the atmosphere, or underwater, but not underground.

Senate ratified this and Kennedy signed it into law in October 1963. France was quick to declare that it was free to continue developing and testing its nuclear defenses. Domestic policy. President Kennedy in, on Friday morning, November 22, 1963 Kennedy called his domestic program the 'New Frontier'. It ambitiously promised federal funding for education, medical care for the elderly, economic aid to rural regions, and government intervention to halt the recession.

Kennedy also promised an end to, though his agenda, which included the endorsement of the (VEP) in 1962, produced little progress in areas such as Mississippi where the 'VEP concluded that discrimination was so entrenched'. In his 1963, he proposed substantial tax reform, and a reduction in income tax rates from the current range of 20–90% to a range of 14–65%; he proposed a reduction in the corporate tax rates from 52 to 47%. Kennedy added that the top rate should be set at 70% if certain deductions were not eliminated for high income earners.

Congress did not act until 1964, after his death, when the top individual rate was lowered to 70%, and the top corporate rate was set at 48% (see ). To the, he spoke in 1963 of '. the paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and revenues too low; and the soundest way to raise revenue in the long term is to lower rates now.' Congress passed few of Kennedy's major programs during his lifetime, but did vote them through in 1964 and 1965 under his successor Johnson. Economy Kennedy ended a period of tight fiscal policies, loosening monetary policy to keep down and to encourage growth of the economy. He presided over the first government budget to top the $100 billion mark, in 1962, and his first budget in 1961 led to the country's first non-war, non-recession. The economy, which had been through two recessions in three years, and was in one when Kennedy took office, accelerated notably during his presidency. Despite low inflation and interest rates, had grown by an average of only 2.2% per annum during the Eisenhower presidency (scarcely more than population growth at the time), and had declined by 1% during Eisenhower's last twelve months in office.

The economy turned around and prospered during the Kennedy administration. GDP expanded by an average of 5.5% from early 1961 to late 1963, while inflation remained steady at around 1% and unemployment eased. Industrial production rose by 15% and motor vehicle sales rose by 40%. This rate of growth in GDP and industry continued until around 1969, and has yet to be repeated for such a sustained period of time. Robert Kennedy took the position that had illegally colluded to fix prices.

He stated: 'We're going for broke. Their expense accounts, where they've been and what they've been doing. The FBI is to interview them all. We can't lose this.' The administration's actions influenced to rescind the price increase.

Wrote that the administration had acted 'by naked power, by threats, by agents of the state security police.' Yale law professor opined in that the administration had violated civil liberties by calling a grand jury to indict U.S. Steel for collusion so quickly. A editorial praised Kennedy's actions and said that the steel industry's price increase 'imperils the economic welfare of the country by inviting a tidal wave of inflation.' Nevertheless, the administration's Bureau of Budget reported the price increase would have resulted in a net gain for GDP as well as a net budget surplus. The stock market, which had steadily declined since Kennedy's election, dropped 10% shortly after the administration's action on the steel industry. Federal and military death penalty As president, Kennedy oversaw the last federal execution prior to, a 1972 case that led to a moratorium on federal executions.

Was sentenced to death by a federal court in Iowa and was executed on March 15, 1963. Kennedy commuted a death sentence imposed by a military court on seaman Jimmie Henderson on February 12, 1962, changing the penalty to life in prison. On March 22, 1962, Kennedy signed into law HR5143 (PL87-423), abolishing the mandatory death penalty for in the District of Columbia, the only remaining jurisdiction in the United States with such a penalty.

The death penalty has not been applied in the District of Columbia since 1957, and has now been abolished. Civil Rights Movement. Appointed to the federal bench by Kennedy in May 1961 The turbulent end of state-sanctioned racial discrimination was one of the most pressing domestic issues of the 1960s. Was the established law in the. The had ruled in 1954 in that in public schools was unconstitutional. Many schools, especially in southern states, did not obey the Supreme Court's decision.

The Court also prohibited segregation at other public facilities (such as buses, restaurants, theaters, courtrooms, bathrooms, and beaches) but it continued nonetheless. Kennedy verbally supported and civil rights; during the 1960 campaign he telephoned, wife of the Reverend, who had been jailed while trying to integrate a department store lunch counter.

Robert Kennedy called Georgia governor and obtained King's release from prison, which drew additional black support to his brother's candidacy. Upon taking office in 1961, Kennedy postponed promised civil rights legislation he made while campaigning in 1960, recognizing that conservative Southern Democrats controlled congressional legislation. Historian Carl M.

Brauer concluded that passing any civil rights legislation in 1961 would have been futile. During his first year in office Kennedy appointed many blacks to office including his May appointment of civil rights attorney to the federal bench. In his first State of the Union Address in January 1961, President Kennedy said: 'The denial of constitutional rights to some of our fellow Americans on account of race – at the ballot box and elsewhere – disturbs the national conscience, and subjects us to the charge of world opinion that our democracy is not equal to the high promise of our heritage.' Kennedy believed the grassroots movement for civil rights would anger many Southern whites and make it more difficult to pass civil rights laws in Congress, including anti-poverty legislation, and he distanced himself from it. Kennedy was concerned with other issues early in his presidency, such as the Cold War, Bay of Pigs fiasco and the situation in Southeast Asia.

As articulated by brother Robert, the administration's early priority was to 'keep the president out of this civil rights mess.' Civil rights movement participants, mainly those on the front line in the South, viewed Kennedy as lukewarm, especially concerning the, who organized an integrated public transportation effort in the south, and who were repeatedly met with white mob violence, including by law enforcement officers, both federal and state. Kennedy assigned to protect the Freedom Riders rather than using federal troops or uncooperative FBI agents. Robert Kennedy, speaking for the president, urged the Freedom Riders to 'get off the buses and leave the matter to peaceful settlement in the courts.'

Kennedy feared sending federal troops would stir up 'hated memories of ' after the among conservative Southern whites. On March 6, 1961, Kennedy signed which required government contractors to 'take affirmative action to ensure that applicants are employed and that employees are treated during employment without regard to their race, creed, color, or national origin.' It established the. Displeased with Kennedy's pace addressing the issue of segregation, Martin Luther King, Jr. And his associates produced a document in 1962 calling on the president to follow in the footsteps of and use an Executive Order to deliver a blow for Civil Rights as a kind of.

Kennedy did not execute the order. In September 1962, enrolled at the but was prevented from entering. Attorney General Robert Kennedy responded by sending 400 federal marshals, while President Kennedy reluctantly sent 3,000 troops after the situation on campus turned violent. The left two dead and dozens injured, but Meredith did finally enroll for class. Kennedy regretted not sending in troops earlier and he began to doubt whether the 'evils of Reconstruction' of the 1860s and 1870s he had been taught or believed in were true. The instigating subculture at the Old Miss riot, and at many other racially ignited events, was the.

On November 20, 1962, Kennedy signed, prohibiting racial discrimination in federally supported housing or 'related facilities'. Both the President and the Attorney General were concerned about King's ties to suspected Communists and.

After the President and his civil rights expert pressed King to ask both men to resign from the SCLC, King agreed to ask only O'Dell to resign from the organization and allowed Levison, whom he regarded as a trusted advisor, to remain. In early 1963, Kennedy related to Martin Luther King, Jr., his thoughts on the prospects for civil rights legislation: 'If we get into a long fight over this in Congress, it will bottleneck everything else, and we will still get no bill.' Civil rights clashes were on the rise that year. Brother Robert and Ted Sorenson pressed Kennedy to take more initiative on the legislative front. Kennedy's, June 11, 1963 On June 11, 1963, President Kennedy intervened when Alabama Governor blocked the to the to stop two African American students, and, from attending. Wallace moved aside only after being confronted by Deputy Attorney General Nicholas Katzenbach and the Alabama, which had just been federalized by order of the president.

That evening Kennedy gave his famous on national television and radio, launching his initiative for civil rights legislation—to provide equal access to public schools and other facilities, and greater protection of voting rights. His proposals became part of the. The day ended with the murder of a NAACP leader,, in front of his home in Mississippi. As the president had predicted, the day after his TV speech, and in reaction to it, House Majority leader Carl Albert called to advise him that his two-year signature effort in Congress to combat poverty in Appalachia (Area Redevelopment Administration) had been defeated, primarily by the votes of Southern Democrats and Republicans.

When Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. Complemented Kennedy on his remarks, the latter bitterly replied, 'Yes, and look at what happened to area development the very next day in the House.'

He then added, 'But of course, I had to give that speech, and I'm glad that I did.' On June 16 published an editorial which argued that while the president had initially 'moved too slowly and with little evidence of deep moral commitment' in regards to civil rights he 'now demonstrate[d] a genuine sense of urgency about eradicating racial discrimination from our national life.'

Earlier, Kennedy had signed the executive order creating the on December 14, 1961. Former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt led the commission. The Commission statistics revealed that women were also experiencing discrimination; its final report, documenting legal and cultural barriers, was issued in October 1963.

Further, on June 10, 1963, Kennedy signed the, a federal law amending the, aimed at abolishing wage disparity based on sex. Kennedy meets with leaders of the in the Oval Office, August 28, 1963 Over a hundred thousand, predominantly African Americans, gathered in Washington for the civil rights on August 28, 1963.

Kennedy feared the March would have a negative effect on the prospects for the civil rights bills in Congress, and declined an invitation to speak. He turned over some of the details of the government's involvement to the Dept. Of Justice, which channelled hundreds of thousands of dollars to the six sponsors of the March, including the and Martin Luther King's (SCLC). To ensure a peaceful demonstration, the organizers and the president personally edited speeches which were inflammatory and agreed the March would be held on a Wednesday and would be over at 4:00 pm. Thousands of troops were placed on standby. Kennedy watched King's speech on TV and was very impressed.

The March was considered a 'triumph of managed protest', and not one arrest relating to the demonstration occurred. Afterwards, the March leaders accepted an invitation to the White House to meet with Kennedy and photos were taken. Kennedy felt that the March was a victory for him as well and bolstered the chances for his civil rights bill. Nevertheless, the struggle was far from over. Three weeks later, on Sunday, September 15, at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham; by the end of the day, four African American children had died in the explosion, and two other children were shot to death in the aftermath. Due to this resurgent violence, the civil rights legislation underwent some drastic amendments that critically endangered any prospects for passage of the bill, to the outrage of the president. Kennedy called the congressional leaders to the White House and by the following day the original bill, without the additions, had enough votes to get it out of the House committee.

Gaining Republican support, Senator promised the legislation would be brought to a vote preventing a. The legislation was enacted by Kennedy's successor President, prompted by Kennedy's memory, after his assassination in November, enforcing voting rights, public accommodations, employment, education, and the administration of justice. Civil liberties In February 1962, FBI Director, who was suspicious of civil-rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. And viewed him as an upstart troublemaker, presented the Kennedy Administration with allegations that some of King's close confidants and advisers were communists. Concerned by these allegations, the FBI deployed agents to monitor King in the following months. Robert Kennedy and the president also both warned King to discontinue the suspect associations.

After the associations continued, Robert Kennedy issued a written directive authorizing the FBI to wiretap King and other leaders of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, King's civil rights organization, in October 1963. Although Kennedy only gave written approval for limited wiretapping of King's phones 'on a trial basis, for a month or so', Hoover extended the clearance so his men were 'unshackled' to look for evidence in any areas of King's life they deemed worthy. The wiretapping continued through June 1966 and was revealed in 1968. Immigration During the 1960 campaign Kennedy proposed an overhaul of American immigration and naturalization laws to ban discrimination based on national origin. He saw this proposal as an extension of his planned civil rights agenda as president.

These reforms later became through the, which dramatically shifted the source of immigration from Northern and Western European countries towards immigration from Latin America and Asia. The policy change also shifted the emphasis in the selection of immigrants in favor of family reunification. The late-president's brother, Senator helped steer the legislation through the Senate. Native American relations.

Further information: and The was conceived early in 1960, during the administration, as a follow-up to, to be used as a shuttle to an Earth-orbital, flights around the Moon, or landing on it. While went ahead with planning for Apollo, funding for the program was far from certain, given Eisenhower's ambivalent attitude to manned spaceflight. As senator, Kennedy had been opposed to the space program and wanted to terminate it.

In constructing his Presidential administration, Kennedy elected to retain Eisenhower's last science advisor as head of the. Wiesner was strongly opposed to manned space exploration, having issued a report highly critical of Project Mercury.

Kennedy was turned down by seventeen candidates for NASA administrator before the post was accepted by, an experienced Washington insider who served President as budget director and undersecretary of state. Webb proved to be adept at obtaining the support of Congress, the President, and the American people. Kennedy also persuaded Congress to amend the to allow him to delegate his chairmanship of the National Aeronautics and Space Council to the Vice President, both because of the knowledge of the space program Johnson gained in the Senate working for, and to help keep the politically savvy Johnson occupied. In Kennedy's January 1961 State of the Union address, he had suggested international cooperation in space. Khrushchev declined, as the Soviets did not wish to reveal the status of their rocketry and space capabilities. Early in his presidency, Kennedy was poised to dismantle the manned space program, but postponed any decision out of deference to Johnson, who had been a strong supporter of the space program in the Senate.

Kennedy's advisors speculated that a Moon flight would be prohibitively expensive, and he was considering plans to dismantle the Apollo program due to its cost. Kennedy proposing a program to Congress that will land men on the Moon, May 1961. Johnson and Sam Rayburn are seated behind him.

However, this quickly changed on April 12, 1961, when Soviet cosmonaut became the first person to fly in space, reinforcing American fears about being left behind in a technological competition with the Soviet Union. Kennedy now became eager for the U.S. To take the lead in the, for reasons of strategy and prestige. On April 20, he sent a memo to Johnson, asking him to look into the status of America's space program, and into programs that could offer NASA the opportunity to catch up. After consulting with, Johnson responded approximately one week later, concluding that 'we are neither making maximum effort nor achieving results necessary if this country is to reach a position of leadership.'

His memo concluded that a manned Moon landing was far enough in the future that it was likely the United States would achieve it first. Kennedy's advisor Ted Sorensen advised him to support the Moon landing, and on May 25, Kennedy announced the goal in a speech titled 'Special Message to the Congress on Urgent National Needs'. I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth. No single space project in this period will be more impressive to mankind, or more important for the long-range exploration of space; and none will be so difficult or expensive to accomplish. Kennedy speaks at Rice University, September 12, 1962 (duration 17:47) After Congress authorized the funding, Webb began reorganizing NASA, increasing its staffing level, and building two new centers: a for the northwest of, and a on land donated through in, Texas. Kennedy took the latter occasion as an opportunity to deliver another at Rice to promote the space effort on September 12, 1962, in which he said: No nation which expects to be the leader of other nations can expect to stay behind in this race for space. We choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.

On November 21, 1962, in a cabinet meeting with NASA administrator Webb and other officials, Kennedy explained that the Moon shot was important for reasons of international prestige, and that the expense was justified. Johnson assured him that lessons learned from the space program had military value as well. Costs for the Apollo program were expected to reach $40 billion. In a September 1963 speech before the United Nations, Kennedy urged cooperation between the Soviets and Americans in space, specifically recommending that Apollo be switched to 'a joint expedition to the Moon'.

Khrushchev again declined, and the Soviets did not commit to a manned Moon mission until 1964. On July 20, 1969, almost six years after Kennedy's death, landed the first manned spacecraft on the Moon.

Traveling in a presidential through downtown Dallas, he was shot once in the back, the bullet exiting via his throat, and once in the head.

Ruby successfully appealed his conviction and death sentence but became ill and died of cancer on January 3, 1967, while the date for his new trial was being set. President Johnson quickly issued an executive order to create the —chaired by Chief Justice —to investigate the assassination. The commission concluded that Oswald acted alone in killing Kennedy and that Oswald was not part of any conspiracy. The results of this investigation are disputed by many. The assassination proved to be a pivotal moment in because of its impact on the nation, and the ensuing political repercussions. A 2004 Fox News poll found that 66% of Americans thought there had been a, while 74% thought that there had been a cover-up.

A in mid-November 2013, showed 61% believed in a conspiracy, and only 30% thought that Oswald did it alone. In 1979, the concluded that it believed 'that Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a. The committee was unable to identify the other gunmen or the extent of the conspiracy.' In 2002, historian Carl M. Brauer concluded that the public's 'fascination with the assassination may indicate a psychological denial of Kennedy's death, a mass wish.to undo it.' President Kennedy's family leaving his at the A was celebrated for Kennedy at the on November 25, 1963. The funeral was officiated by Father.

Afterwards, Kennedy was interred in a small plot, (20 by 30 ft.), in. Over a period of three years (1964–1966), an estimated 16 million people visited his grave.

On March 14, 1967, Kennedy's remains were disinterred and moved only a few feet away to a permanent burial plot and memorial. It was from this memorial that the graves of both Robert and Ted Kennedy were modeled. The at Kennedy's graveside was the 37th Cadet Class of the.

The in, Massachusetts, in 1963 The is one of the most established political families in the United States, having produced a president, three senators, an ambassador, and multiple other representatives, both at the federal and state level. While a Congressman, Kennedy embarked on a seven-week trip to India, Japan,, and Israel in 1951, at which point he became close with his then 25-year-old brother, as well as his 27-year-old sister Pat.

Because they were several years apart in age, the brothers had previously seen little of each other. This 25,000-mile (40,000 km) trip was the first extended time they had spent together and resulted in their becoming best friends.

Robert would play a major role in his brother's career, and he served as his brother's and presidential advisor. Robert would later run for president in before his, while another Kennedy brother, Ted, ran for president in. Kennedy came in third (behind Martin Luther King, Jr. And ) in of the 20th century.

John Jr., a graduate of, died in 1999 when the en route to. Popular image. The Kennedy brothers: Attorney General, Senator, and President John F. Kennedy in 1963 Kennedy and his wife were younger in comparison to the presidents and first ladies who preceded them, and both were popular in the in ways more common to pop singers and movie stars than politicians, influencing fashion trends and becoming the subjects of numerous photo spreads in popular magazines. Although had allowed presidential press conferences to be filmed for television, Kennedy was the first president to ask for them to be broadcast and made good use of the medium. In 1961 the presented Kennedy with its highest honor, the Award, in recognition of his open relationship with the media.

Kennedy brought new art and furniture to the White House, and directed its restoration. They invited a range of artists, writers and intellectuals to rounds of White House dinners, raising the profile of the arts in America.

On the White House lawn, the Kennedys established a swimming pool and tree house, while Caroline attended a preschool along with 10 other children inside the home. The president was closely tied to popular culture, emphasized by songs such as ' at the White House'. First Family comedy album, which parodied the president, the first lady, their family, and the administration, sold about four million copies. On May 19, 1962, sang ' at a large party in, celebrating Kennedy's upcoming forty-fifth birthday.

'Camelot Era'. For other uses, see and. The term 'Camelot' came to be used retrospectively as iconic of the Kennedy administration, and the charisma of Kennedy and his family.

The term was first publicly used by his wife in a post-assassination interview with, in which she revealed his affection for the contemporary, particularly the closing lines of the title song: Don't let it be forgot, that once there was a spot, for one brief, shining moment that was known as Camelot. 'There'll be great presidents again. But there will never be another Camelot.' — Jacqueline Kennedy Health In 2002 wrote an extensive history of Kennedy's health. Dallek was able to consult a collection of Kennedy-associated papers from the years 1955–1963, including X-rays and prescription records from the files of White House physician Dr.. According to Travell's records, during his presidential years Kennedy suffered from high fevers; stomach, colon, and prostate issues; abscesses; high cholesterol; and adrenal problems.

Travell kept a 'Medicine Administration Record,' cataloguing Kennedy's medications: 'injected and ingested corticosteroids for his adrenal insufficiency; procaine shots and ultrasound treatments and hot packs for his back; Lomotil, Metamucil, paregoric, phenobarbital, testosterone, and trasentine to control his diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, and weight loss; penicillin and other antibiotics for his urinary-tract infections and an abscess; and to help him sleep.' Years after Kennedy's death, it was revealed that in September 1947, while Kennedy was 30 and in his first term in Congress, he was diagnosed by Sir Daniel Davis at with, a rare endocrine disorder.

Travell revealed that Kennedy also had. The presence of two endocrine diseases raises the possibility that Kennedy had (APS 2). Kennedy also suffered from chronic and severe back pain, for which he had surgery and was written up in the 's Archives of Surgery. Kennedy's condition may have had diplomatic repercussions, as he appears to have been taking a combination of drugs to treat severe back pain during the 1961 with Soviet Premier. The combination included hormones, animal organ cells, steroids, vitamins, enzymes, and amphetamines, and possible potential side effects included hyperactivity,, impaired judgment, nervousness, and mood swings. Kennedy at one time was regularly seen by no fewer than three doctors, one of whom,, was unknown to the other two, as his mode of treatment was controversial and used for the most severe bouts of back pain. Into late 1961, there were disagreements among Kennedy's doctors concerning his proper balance of medication and exercise.

The president preferred the former, because he was short on time and desired immediate relief. During that time frame, the president's physician, George Burkley, did set up some gym equipment in the White House basement, where Kennedy did stretching exercises for his back three times a week. Details of these and other medical problems were not publicly disclosed during Kennedy's lifetime.

The President's primary White House physician, George Burkley, realized that treatments by Jacobson and Travell, including the excessive use of steroids and amphetamines, were medically inappropriate, and took effective action to remove the president from their care. It was later observed that President Kennedy's leadership (e.g. The 1962 Cuban Missile crisis and other events during 1963) improved greatly once the treatments of Jacobson had been discontinued and been replaced by a medically appropriate regimen under Burkley. Ghaemi, who studied Kennedy's medical records, concluded there was a 'correlation; it is not causation; but it may not be coincidence either'. Personal tragedies. The newlyweds surrounded by Jack's siblings on their wedding day in Newport, Rhode Island in 1953 Kennedy experienced a number of family tragedies.

His older brother was killed in action in 1944 at age 29, when his plane exploded over the English Channel during a first attack execution of during. Kennedy's younger sister was born in 1918 with intellectual disabilities and underwent a prefrontal at age 23, leaving her permanently incapacitated.

His younger sister died in France as the result of a plane crash in 1948. His wife Jacqueline Kennedy suffered a in 1955 and a in 1956: a daughter informally named Arabella. A son,, died two days after birth in August 1963. Affairs and extramarital relationships. Attorney General,, President Kennedy (back to camera) in 1962 Kennedy was single in the 1940s when he had affairs with Danish journalist and actress. Before and after he assumed the presidency, Kennedy reportedly had extramarital affairs with a number of women, including,,,,,, and his wife's, Pamela Turnure.

The extent of Kennedy's relationship with Monroe is not fully known, although it has been reported that they spent a weekend together in March 1962 while he was staying at 's house. Furthermore, people at the White House switchboard noted that Monroe had called Kennedy during 1962., the FBI director, received reports about Kennedy's indiscretions. Kennedy inspired affection and loyalty from the members of his team and his supporters. According to Reeves, this included 'the logistics of Kennedy's liaisons.[which] required secrecy and devotion rare in the annals of the energetic service demanded by successful politicians.' Kennedy believed that his friendly relationship with members of the press would help protect him from public revelations about his sex life.

Historical evaluations and legacy The had a special bond with Kennedy. 'It was President Kennedy who was responsible for the rebuilding of the Special Forces and giving us back our Green Beret,' said Forrest Lindley, a writer for the US military newspaper who served with Special Forces in Vietnam. This bond was shown. At the commemoration of the 25th anniversary of Kennedy's death, General, the last commander of Special Forces in Vietnam, spoke at Arlington Cemetery.

Later, a wreath in the form of the Green Beret would be placed on the grave, continuing a tradition that began the day of his funeral when a sergeant in charge of a detail of Special Forces men guarding the grave placed his beret on the coffin. Kennedy was the first of six presidents to have served in the U.S. Navy, and one of the enduring legacies of his administration was the creation in 1961 of another command, the, which Kennedy enthusiastically supported.

Kennedy's civil rights proposals led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. President Lyndon B. Johnson, Kennedy's successor, took up the mantle and pushed the landmark Civil Rights Act through a bitterly divided Congress by invoking the slain president's memory. President Johnson then signed the Act into law on July 2, 1964.

This civil rights law ended what was known as the ' and certain provisions were modeled after the, signed into law by President. The dedication of a new to honor what would be President John F. Kennedy's 100th birthday Kennedy's continuation of Presidents Harry S. Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower's policies of giving economic and military aid to South Vietnam left the door open for President Johnson's escalation of the conflict. At the time of Kennedy's death, no final policy decision had been made as to Vietnam, leading historians, cabinet members, and writers to continue to disagree on whether the Vietnam conflict would have escalated to the point it did had he survived. His agreement to the NSAM 263 action of withdrawing 1,000 troops by the end of 1963, and his earlier 1963 speech at American University, suggest that he was ready to end the Vietnam War.

The Vietnam War contributed greatly to a decade of national difficulties, amid violent disappointment on the political landscape. Many of Kennedy's speeches (especially his inaugural address) are considered iconic; and despite his relatively short term in office, and the lack of major legislative changes coming to fruition during his term, Americans regularly vote him as one of the best presidents, in the same league as Abraham Lincoln,, and Franklin D. Some excerpts of Kennedy's inaugural address are engraved on a plaque at his grave at Arlington. He was posthumously awarded the (: Peace on Earth). It was named after a 1963 letter by that calls upon all people of goodwill to secure peace among all nations.

Kennedy is the only president to have predeceased both his mother and father. He is also the only president to have predeceased a grandparent. His maternal grandmother, Mary Josephine 'Josie' Hannon, died in August 1964, nine months after his assassination. Throughout the, the given name has sometimes been used in honor of President Kennedy, as well his brother Robert.

Effect of assassination Television became the primary source by which people were kept informed of events surrounding John F. Kennedy's assassination. In fact, television started to come of age before the assassination. On September 2, 1963, Kennedy helped inaugurate network television's first half-hour nightly evening newscast according to an interview with anchor. Kennedy on a U.S.

Postage stamp, issue of 1967 Newspapers were kept as souvenirs rather than sources of updated information. In this sense his assassination was the first major TV news event of its kind. TV coverage united the nation, interpreting what went on, and creating memories of this space in time. All three major U.S.

Television networks suspended their regular schedules and switched to all-news coverage from November 22 through November 26, 1963, being on the air for 70 hours, making it the longest uninterrupted news event on American TV until 9/11. The assassination had an effect on many people, not only in the U.S. But around the world.

Many vividly remember where they were when they first learned the news that Kennedy was assassinated, as with the Japanese on December 7, 1941, before it and the after it. UN Ambassador Adlai Stevenson said of the assassination: 'all of us. Will bear the grief of his death until the day of ours.' Many people have also spoken of the shocking news, compounded by the pall of uncertainty about the identity of the assassin(s), the possible instigators, and the causes of the killing, as an end to innocence, and in retrospect it has been coalesced with other changes of the tumultuous decade of the 1960s, especially the Vietnam War. Ultimately, the death of President Kennedy, and the ensuing confusion surrounding the facts of his assassination, are of political and historical importance insofar as they marked a turning point and decline in the faith of the American people in the political establishment—a point made by commentators from to and implied by in several of his films, such as his landmark 1991.
