On this day, 64 years ago, January 20, 1961 (December 4, 1960, the 35th President of the United States, Kennedy, took office. On January 20, 1961, the youngest president in U.S. history was sworn in, inspiring people to fulfill their duties. More than half a foot of snow fell on Washington the night before, making the air clear and crisp this morning. About 2000 people in coats and scarves gathered on the east porch of Capitol Hill to wait for the 35th president to be sworn in. They want to hear well-prepared guarantees and a typical inaugural speech praising all voters. However, John F. Kennedy made no promises, but instead made various demands. "Dear citizens, there is more in your hands than I do that will determine the ultimate success and failure of our approach," the president said."Now the clarion call is for us... To oppose the common enemies of mankind: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself." Speaking of using war to eliminate war, Kennedy made it clear that he was prepared to negotiate with the Soviets on the supervision and control of nuclear weapons. He praised the efforts of NATO and the United Nations to ensure peace. "The torch has passed to a new generation of Americans," he said. Some people think he regarded the outgoing former President Eisenhower as someone almost a generation older than him. But Kennedy's intentions went beyond that. "So, dear Americans," he said,"ask not what your country can do for you, but what you should do for your country."
