I again strongly urge you to join me in discussing
the issues in this election in a fifth debate to be held shortly before
the election.
Only in this way will the American people
be able to evaluate the arguments and issues which are raised in the closing
days of the campaign. In fact, I believe that more than five debates would
be helpful if the record were to be corrected properly. If you should relent
in your opposition to further debates, and I invite you to do so in tonight's
debate, I hope your representatives can contact mine to work out one or
more dates at the earliest opportunity.
JOHN F. KENNEDY.
