Kennedy focuses on education and aged care in 1963 agenda
Kennedy plans to push education aid and medical care for the aged via Social Security, aiming to win support by uniting allies rather than widening rifts. He doubts swift passage, blames Congress for stalemate, and sketches limits on war with Congress while eyeing reforms to seniority rules and tax policy. He foresees labor strife, automation challenges, and dairy and feed grain price issues, and plans a 1964 bid with Nixon as a possible opponent. Foreign policy centers on Cuban overthrow without invasion.
