As long as we fulfill our functions at a time of climax, in the struggle for freedom. Than I believe it is the business of the President of the United States to concern himself with the general welfare and the public interest. And if the people, feel that it is not, then they should secure the services of a new President of the United States." Men standing on platform with Kennedy applaud him, and Kennedy waves to crowd.
