JFK Exhorts Nation To Back Bold Programs
President Kennedy urged Congress and the nation to back bold new programs and fund space and defense efforts. He proposed $1.5 billion immediately with billions more later to attack economic problems, strengthen the armed forces, and aim for a man on the moon at a total cost of $7 billion to $9 billion over five years. He warned extraordinary times require action without new taxes, and pressed for an all out space effort before the decade ends. The space plan would cost an additional $7 billion to $9 billion through the next five years. He called for a great positive adventure to uphold freedom against the Communist challenge.
