Twenty-five Years Ago President Franklin D. Roosevelt is inaugurated for his second term as President after defeating Alf Landon of Kansas, taking 46 out of 48 states. As President Kennedy does 25 years later, he asks Congress for special powers to combat business recession. FDR takes oath of office and gives inaugural address. Great archival footage from inauguration including excerpt of speech. FDR at podium. "In this dedication of a nation, we humbly ask the blessing of God. May he protect each and every one of us. May he guide me, in the days to come." (No footage of Kennedy)
