White House drives Kennedy medical care push with rally plan
The White House coordinates a broad campaign to rally support for President Kennedy's medical care program for the aged. A May 20 Madison Square Garden rally in New York, sponsored by the National Council of Senior Citizens and the Golden Ring Clubs, is used to energize backing. Richard Maguire coordinates outside groups while press secretary Salinger notes networks may televise or radio the event. The effort faces opposition from the American Medical Association and insurers, with the Democratic Committee distributing material to bolster public support.
