Iffy Friend Kennedy, by Philip M. Klufznik (Reprinted from-the London Jewish Chronicle, Nov. 29,1903) (Former U.S. Ambassador to the U.fi. Economic and Social Council and Hon. President of the B'nai B'rith International Council.) JOHN KENNEDY never forgot any promise concerning-Israel which he had made to Jews during his presidential election campaign, and kept Israel's security constantly in mind after the election. My contacts with the late President went back to l!)4fi when I was a housing administrator, and Mr. Kennedy, who had just been demobilized from the U.S. Navy, was showing a keen interest in the housing of ex-servicemen. My next important contact came early in 1038, when he had made up his mind to run for President. I spent some hours with him at his invitation. He had not then taken up any defined position regarding his attitude to Israel and I questioned him about this. He gave me what I thought was a diplomatic rather than a political answer. I told him about the intense feeling among American Jewry on this issue and advised him to take a clearcut stand. Much to my surprise, several months later, he made a magnificent pro-Israel statement to the B'nai Zion (an American Jewish fraternal organization). I was still working to promote Mr, Adlai Stevenson's nomination as Democratic Presidential candidate, but when Kennedy was nominated I became chairman of the businessmen's committee promoting his and Mr. Johnson's cause and was called in from time to time for consultations. It was typical of him that he did not consult'anyone but his immediate staff about his speeches, and accordingly -he accepted an invitation from the Zionist Organization of America to address their convention in August, 1900. He asked me and some others to supply ideas for his speech and he took some of the most forthright statements given to him and even strengthened some of them. He showed me his speech in advance and asked what I thought of it. I replied he must remember that he would be committing himself, to which he responded: "This is what I believe and this is what I will do if it is humanly possible." He went on to make a speech which created pandemonium. It was clear, forthright and wholeheartedly in support of America's legitimate interest in the State of Israel and the U.S. desire to secure a just peace settlement. When he became President he was reminded that he had not kept some of these promises. Kennedy would reply that he had not forgotten them. "I said I would try and I did," he remarked. ''I said it was in America's interest that Israel should be secure and what I am doing is consistent with that statement."
