1960 Campaign Speeches of
Senator John F. Kennedy
and Vice President Richard
M. Nixon
These are the speeches, remarks, press conferences, study papers and statements given by Senator John F. Kennedy and Republican candidate Vice President Richard M. Nixon for the period 1 August, 1960, to 7 November, 1960, during the 1960 Presidential Campaign. Here too, when scanned, will be the Public Papers of President John F. Kennedy 1961, 1962, 1963. Given the extremely large number of speeches given by both candidates during the 1960 campaign the speeches will be added to this site on a regular basis after I scan, then check, each speech for errors/typos. Errors are created during the OCR process and checking for them takes time as the accuracy of the speeches is of prime importance. If any errors are noticed would you please e-mail me and advise of the speech's file path. Once identified, I'll amend the error and post a note on this page advising of the correction for anyone who may have downloaded the speech prior to the error coming to my attention.
PLEASE NOTE: The speeches as presented here have been set out for 800 x 600 screen resolution so if your resolution is different there may be unexpected spaces in the text. You may search all the documents in JFK LINK via the search function below.
