JOHN F. KENNEDY
John F. Kennedy sends a typed letter saying that he will do what he
can do to help get someone into the Navy.
Typed Letter Signed: "John" as U.S. Senator, 1p, 8x10½.
Senate stationery, 1953 February 25. To William Kelly, his aide, East
Boston, Mass. In full: "In regard to your interest in James P.
O'Brien who is desirous of getting into the Navy, I am today writing to the
Commandant, First Naval District, Boston, requesting that his acceptance into
the Navy be expedited, if at all possible. As soon as I receive word from the
Commandant, I will again be in touch with you." At the age of 28, John F.
Kennedy (1917-1963) entered politics, involving most of the members of his
family in his campaign to win the Democratic nomination for Congress in
Massachusetts' Eleventh District. After beating out nine other candidates in
the primary, he easily defeated the Republican nominee in the general
election and he would go on to serve in the House 1947-1952, when JFK was
elected to the U.S. Senate. Known for his accessibility to his
constituents, Congressman Kennedy supported most of President Truman's "Fair
Deal" program, although he occasionally attacked the President's foreign policy.
