| Description: | KENNEDY SPEAKS ON US DOMESTIC POLICY Kennedy receiving an honorary degree of Doctor of Law at Yale and makes a speech. John F. Kennedy Commencement Address at Yale University. June 11, 1962 New Haven, Connecticut Various shots of President J Kennedy receiving an honorary degree of Doctor of Law with cut'ins of audience. MS. Kennedy speaking "It might be said now that I have the best of both worlds, a Harvard education and a Yale degree. I am particularly glad to become a Yale man because as I think about my troubles, I find that a lot of them have come from other Yale men. ... It is true - and of high importance - that the prosperity of this country depends on the assurance that all major elements within it will live up to their responsibilities. If business were to neglect its obligations to the public, if labor were blind to all public responsibility, above all, if government were to abandon its obvious - and statutory - duty of watchful concern for our economic health - if any of these things should happen, then confidence might well be weakened and the danger of stagnation would increase. This is the true issue of confidence." | |
