“… there are no faints hearts in Ft. Worth. Mrs. Kennedy is organizing herself, but, of course, she looks better than we do…”

Kennedy went on to touch on the role that Ft. Worth had played over the decades in building military aircraft, the planned launch of large booster rocket in December, 1963, and the latest economic growth figures.

After flying to Love Field in Dallas and en route to the Dallas Trade Mart, JFK was assassinated.

He also released a statement in response to the recent conference in Geneva, Switzerland dealing with the allocation of frequency bands for space radio communication purposes, later to be known by its less unwieldy handle satellite communications. He encouraged other nations to join an effort to set up a “peace system worldwide in scope.”

IncCongressional business, he authorized release of the 17th annual report on United States and the United Nations to Congress and then signed into law HR2073, which regulated the use of submerged and tidal lands in the U.S. territories of Guam, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa.

Kennedy invited Enud Sztanko to come to the White House to “just talk.” Sztanko later related that JFK “seemed a little low” and there was “some kind of urgency” in his voice.

Sztanko had known Kennedy for years and he told her in October, 1962 “I hope you are not a spy.” However, this evening, much to her later regret she was leery of being in the President’s company in the absence of his wife and she declined.

His airplane touched down at MacDill Air Force base at 11:24 a.m. local time. After a minute or so, Kennedy, wearing a medium gray suit, emerged from the tail exit (at that time the “Presidential exit” with the press exiting with the door closest to the cockpit), carrying the hated dress hat in his right hand.

At the bottom of the ramp, he was met by MacDill AFB Strike Command head Gen. Paul D. Adams. As he shook hands with the local dignitaries following  behind him were Representatives Claude Pepper and Sam Gibbons and Senatory George Smathers.

The assembled dignitaries and onlookers then came to attention when the band then struck up “Hail to the Chief.”

JFK in Tampa, Florida – November 18, 1963 (photo courtesy Tony Zappone

After reviewing the colors, JFK moved toward some school children from the Academy of the Holy Names to shake hands.

He then walked a short distance to a waiting white Lincoln convertible to take him to the MacDill officers’ club for lunch and for a security briefing from base commanders.

Just before the car drove off, press photographer Tony Zappone ran up to the car to shake Kennedy’s hand. JFK seemed momentarily startled that the 16 year old had managed to come directly next to the car, umimpeded by his security details. But, he quickly regained his composure and took Zappone’s outstretched hand before the limousine drove away.

JFK started the day in Tampa, where he gave a speech at Al Lopez field to celebrate the 50th anniversary of scheduled air service by Tony Jannus.

Kennedy spoke for about 9 minutes. His speech was somewhat disjointed and had a slightlystrident tone to it. JFK started his address noting that the scheduled air service went bankrupt after 4 months and then went on to mention that Tampa figured into the creation of the Alliance for Progress.

He then went to predict that American aviation would have commerical planes traveling at mach 5 by the end of the century, called the US the keystone of freedom, talked about jobs, and railed against Communism

Continuing his Florida trip, in the evening JFK gave a speech in Miami to the Inter-American Press Association where he expressed displeasure of Argentina’s recent cancellation of oil contracts with American companies.
