11-22-1963: A Moment in History The president's motorcade storms through the streets of Dallas, Texas, like a "comet flying through outer space". Unknown to the world at large, the United States came close to losing the 35Th President of the United States. Interrupting a moment of excitement, the Texas residents had gotten at viewing their charismatic President. Shots ring out from the Dallas Book Depository, causing people to run for cover. A Secret Service agent, very quickly, jumped out of the car that followed the President's car and grabbed a hold of the President. After the President is shot in the shoulder, the next shot hit the Secret Service agent that would have fatally struck the President, had he not been present. Now the search for the shooter or shooters began! Many believed there was a shooter in the bushes aiding Oswald but onlookers rushed to the Grassy Knoll and no one was found. About two hours later, Oswald was confronted by Police Officer J.D. Tippit in a Dallas movie theater. Oswald would never have a trial or tell his side of the story after Tippit confronted him because they had a shootout and was killed by Tippit later that evening. President Kennedy would awaken after a successful surgery. Unfortunately, he would be told of the death of the Secret Service agent and would be shocked to learn that he died while saving his life. For many weeks, Vice President Johnson would act as President of the United States, talking to Senators or the heads of state in foreign lands. 1964 Presidential Election Despite New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller winning the California primary, Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater had won the Republican nomination for President. Governor Rockefeller had won many delegates over the course of the primary season, but the "Happy" Scandal ruined any chance of a credible run for the Presidency. In the 1964 Democratic Primary, there were no major challengers to Kennedy, except for Governor George Wallace of Alabama who only won South Carolina and his home state. President Kennedy placed his arm around his beautiful wife Jacqueline Kennedy as he took the stage at the Democratic National Convention. 9-2-1964 In the Presidential debate, two men, Kennedy and Goldwater, from opposing parties, headed off in the second televised debate in U.S. History.

"Either we sail or sink!", Kennedy said to his staff. Walter Cronkite comes on the air to announce the winner.

CRONKITE. Mr. President, the only hot war we've got running atthe moment is of course the one in Viet-Nam, and we have ourdifficulties here, quite obviously. PRESIDENT KENNEDY. I don't think that unless a greater effort is made by the Government to win popular support that the war can be won out there. In the final analysis, it is their war. They are the ones who have to win it or lose it. We can help them, we can give them equipment, we can send our men out there as advisers, but they have to win it—the people of Viet-Nam—against the Communists. We are prepared to continue to assist them, but I don't think that the war can be won unless the people support the effort, and, in my opinion, in the last 2 months the Government has gottenout of touch with the people. The repressions against the Buddhists, we felt, were very unwise. Now all we can do is to make it very clear that we don't think thisis the way to win. It is my hope that this will become increasingly obvious to the Government, that they will take steps to try to bring back popular support for this very essential struggle. MR. CRONKITE. Do you think this Government has time to regainthe support of the people? PRESIDENT KENNEDY. I do. With changes in policy and perhaps with personnel, I think it can. If it doesn't make those changes, I would think that the chances of winning it would not be very good. MR. CRONKITE. Hasn't every indication from Saigon beenthatPresident Diem has no intention of changing his pattern . PRESIDENT KENNEDY. If he does not change it, of course, that is his decision. He has been there 10 years, and, as I say, he has carried this burden when he has been counted out on a number of occasions. Our best judgment is that he can't be successful on this basis. We hope that he comes to see that; but in the final analysis it is the people end the Government itself who have to win or lose this struggle. All he can do is help, and we are making it very clear. But I don't agree with those who say we should withdraw. That would be a great mistake. That would be a great mistake. I know people don't like Americans to be engaged in this kind of an effort. Forty-seven Americans have been killed in combat with the enemy, but this is a very important struggle even though it is far away. We took all this—made this effort to defend Europe. Now Europe is quite secure. We also have to participate—we may not like it—in the defense of Asia. * * * * * * * (b) NBC Interview, September 9 MR. HUNTLEY. Mr. President, in respect to our difficulties in South Viet-Nam, could it be that our Government tends occasionally to get locked into a policy or an attitude and then finds it difficult to alter or shift that policy ? THE PRESIDENT. Yes, that is true. I think in the case of South Viet Nam we have been dealing with a Government which is in control, has been in control for 10 years. In addition, we have felt for the last 2 years that the struggle against the Communists was going better. Since June, however—the difficulties with the Buddhists—we have been concerned about a deterioration, particularly in the Saigon area, which hasn't been felt greatly in the outlying areas but may spread. So we are faced with the problem of wanting to protect the area against the Communists. On the other hand, we have to deal with the Government there. That produces a kind of ambivalence in our efforts which exposes us to some criticism. We are using our influence to persuade the Government there to take those steps which will win back support. That takes some time, and we must be patient, we mustpersist. Mr. HUNTLEY. Are we likely to reduce our aid to South Viet-Nam now? The PRESIDENT. I don't think we think that would be helpful at this time. If you reduce your aid, it is possible you could have some effect upon the government structure there. On the other hand, you might have a situation which could bring about a collapse. Strongly in our mind is what happened in the case of China at the end of World War II, where China was lost—a weak government became increasingly unable to control events. We don't want that. Mr. BRINKLEY. Mr. President, have You had any reason to doubt this so-called "domino theory," that if South Viet-Nam falls, the rest of Southeast Asia will go behind it ? The PRESIDENT. No, I believe it. I believe it. I think that the struggle is close enough. China is so large, looms so high just beyond the frontiers, that if South Viet-Nam went, it would not make a huge difference.
