LINKS TO SOME SELDOM-HEARD AUDIO RECORDINGS MADE BY PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY: ========================================================== On November 4, 1963, less than three weeks before his own death, JFK dictated a memoir entry, pertaining to the recent assassination of Vietnam's President Diem. The voices of both of Kennedy's two young children (John-John and Caroline) can also be heard during this recording: http://tapes.millercenter.virginia.edu/clips/1963_1104_jfk_vietnam_memoir.html ====================== JFK talks on the phone with the British Prime Minister during the tense last days of the Cuban Missile Crisis (October 26, 1962): http://tapes.millercenter.virginia.edu/clips/1962_1026_macmillan ====================== One year and one day before he died, John Kennedy was involved in the following spirited conversation with officials of NASA concerning the task of landing a man safely on the moon. As with all of these recordings, this is fascinating stuff here: http://tapes.millercenter.virginia.edu/clips/1962_1121_apollo ====================== 3-part audio from early October 1963 with President Kennedy and high- ranking members of his staff. The topic -- Withdrawing troops from Vietnam: http://tapes.millercenter.virginia.edu/clips/1963_1002_vietnam_am http://tapes.millercenter.virginia.edu/clips/1963_1002_vietnam_pm/index.htm http://tapes.millercenter.virginia.edu/clips/1963_1005_vietnam/index.htm ====================== Kennedy talks on the phone with his doctor (George Burkley), with Jack asking Burkley to "send up a little extra medication".

Kennedy: http://tapes.millercenter.virginia.edu/clips/jfk_1_3/index.htm ====================== This one isn't a Kennedy call, but it's very interesting nonetheless -- a March 12, 1964, conversation between JFK's successor (Lyndon Johnson) and FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. This short phone call concerns a rather odd subject -- an FBI background check that Hoover had just completed on Hollywood actress Janet Leigh (of "Psycho" fame): http://tapes.millercenter.virginia.edu/clips/1964_0312_leigh ====================== MORE PRESIDENTIAL RECORDINGS AND "WHITE HOUSE TAPES": http://tapes.millercenter.virginia.edu http://tapes.millercenter.virginia.edu/pages/clips.htm ======================
