President Joe Biden paid tribute to John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, who was killed by an assassin on November 22, 1963, as the presidential motorcade passed through the city of Dalla.
“President Kennedy was a war hero, senator and statesman,” Biden said in a statement released by the White House. “He firmly marked the path of our country in the most important areas of the 20th century: from civil and electoral rights to equal pay for women. He led the country with quiet determination during the most dangerous moments of the Cold War. And at the dawn of a new decade, he took us to new frontiers, flying to the moon and beyond. Thanks to him, public service has become a vocation in our country.”
“He challenged us to take history into our own hands and never stop striving to build an America that lives up to its highest ideals,” the president said.
Let us remember that in 2022, the United States National Archives published thousands of documents related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy by Lee Harvey Oswald, former Marine and communist activist. It came shortly after President Biden issued an executive order authorizing the disclosure but keeping hundreds of other documents classified for another year.
The documents show that the government opened a file on Oswald in December 1960, i.e. almost three years before Kennedy’s assassination.
