JFK Said In His News

WASHINGTON, (if) — Salient
statements by President Kennedy
at his news conference today:
It is “premature” to say whe
ther a missile gap exists between
the Soviet Union and the United
States, but he hopes this country
is “completely secure” in its space
age defense.
He will use the “moral author
ity or position of influence of the
presidency” in school desegrega
tion situations.
Former Secretary of State Dean
Acheson will help the administra
tion study U.S. policy toward
NATO. The United States will
continue as a “full and energetic”
partner in NATO.
Before any move is made to cut
taxes to spur the economy, the
government should “take a new
look” at economic trends in April.
The Welfare Department is set
ting up a special center to deal
with children’s health problems
such as mental retardation and
congenital malformations.
