There is a Kennedy connection to everything- including papal conclaves
How a papal conclave impacted JFK’s 1963 trip to Europe (where he would declare “Ich bin ein Berliner” and visit Ireland): 🧵

Speaking to USAID directors in June 1962, #JFKsaid:

“The presence of the United States as a leading power in the free world is involved in your work directly. The people who are opposed to aid should realize that this is a very powerful source of strength for us."
