JFK Made 220 Specific Statements
Of Policy
By CONGRESSIONAL
QUARTERLY
Washington - (CQ) - During
the election campaign, President-elect
John F. Kennedy
made 220 specific statements
of policy which he implicitly
or explicitly promised to carry
out if elected.
From his acceptance speech
July 15,- 1960 to the eve of
his election, Nov. 7, the tran
scripts of all of his speeches
and of the prepared texts
were analyzed by Congres
sional Quarterly. Also includ
ed were press conferences, TV
debates and - public- letters
which occurred during the
campaign.
In every field from national
security to civil rights, Ken
nedy made specific promises.
Each of the 220 commitments
is recorded by CQ in his own
words.
Priorities
CQ found that the President-elect
made seven items
matters of "priority." They
are:
1. "If I am elected I will
give the farm problem top
priority in the opening weeks
of my Administration." La
crosse, Wis., Oct. 23.
2. "I have pledged myself
and my party to the imme
diate enactment of a program
of medical care for the aged
through Social Security . . .
Space Scientists
Sometimes Learn
Through Failures
By JOSEPH L. MYLER
Washington - (UPI) - In space
research, scientists and engi
neers sometimes learn more
from failure than from suc
cess.
A while back at Cape Ca
naveral, Fla., a usually de
pendable launching rocket
failed to get off the ground.
Investigation disclosed an
unsuspected flaw that had
caused no trouble in the past.
It was easily removed. But if
it hadn't been discovered, it
might have jeopardized lives
later on.
It is true that the launching
attempt failed. But it con
tributed a bit of knowledge
essential to future successes.
The incident was typical.
Research and develop m e n t,
whether in space of anything
else, never proceeds smoothly
on a constantly rising curve.
Dr. T. Keith Glennan re
tiring director of the National
Aeronautics and Space Ad
ministration (NASA), discuss
ed this aspect of space experi
mentation in a recent state
ment to the National Associ
ation of Science writers.
Speaking of NASA launchings
he said:
"These truly were experi
ments and as such carried a
substantial inherent prob
ability of failing to accomplish
the full measure of hoped for
results . . .
Many Experiment!
'"Scientists and engineers
have done so much and done
most of this so well in recent
years that the public generally
has come to believe that they
can bring into reality almost
anything and also are capable
of performing their miracles
repeatedly with security and
ease . ,

During Election Campaign
And if I am elected President

days after I take office." Los

my election I would send to
This just isn t the way
things are done . . . the typical
road to achievement of a
scientific or technological suc
cess is dotted with the records
of many experiments that did
not succeed or were only
partial successes."
Most members of the public,
when a launching rocket
blows up or a satellite fails
to go into orbit, "are inclined
to view with undue concern
and alarm what we regard as
normal experimental proce
dures and results," Glennan
said.
"Only through the elimi
nation of the causes of trouble
through experimentation,'! he
said, "is it possible to achieve
ultimate success.
"The nation's space research
and exploration program un
der NASA is no exception to
the rules of scientific prog
ress. '
