October 27 Campaign Wife

by Jacqueline (Mrs. John F.) Kennedy

October 27, 1960 Column

November 8 now is only days away. Each day gets more and more exciting and more and more filled with suspense.

Wednesday I was in New York with Jack and rode in the ticker tape parade. Never have I been more thrilled than I was then to see so many thousands of people cheering for Jack. Afterwards people told me it was the largest crowd since the parade for Lindbergh.

That was the last time I'll be campaigning with Jack before the election as my doctor has now said I should stay in Washington. Sorry as I am not to go with him more, I'm glad to be home with Caroline now because she keeps seeing her father's picture on lapel pins and bumpers and wondering why so many people are talking about him and why he isn't home more often.

Several days abo the Sub-committee on Medical Care for the Aged released its report for the Women's Committee for the New Frontier. So many people all over the country had written me about this problem that I was particularly interested in what they had to say.

So often this is considered a problem affecting only older people, whereas, actually it equally affects younger people who take care of their parents and sometimes must choose between this and educating their children.

The report stressed the importance of paying for increased medical care through the social security system rather than requiring older people pass an income or means test in order to get medical benefits. This way each person pays for his own medical care by contributing during his working years to a system which provides assistance in later years when he needs to help meet his medical bills.

Yesterday Dr. Benjamin Spock was in town and stopped by the house to see me. Along with most mother's in the country, I have read his books and admire him greatly. It was fascinating to talk to him not only about children, but also about his views on education and medical care the aged.

He is most anxious that there be immediate legislation to build more schools and provide higher salaries for teachers. I'm glad to say,  he believes Jack is the man best qualified to build on a realistic program in these fields.

I also had an interesting chat with Mr. Kefauver, Mrs. Gore, and Mrs. Ellington from Tennessee, who were most encouraging about the election in their state. I hope reports from everywhere will continue to be good, and that everyone will vote on November 8th.

September 16 Campaign Wife

by Jacqueline (Mrs. John F.) Kennedy

September 16, 1960 Column

For the first time since Jack and I have been married, I have not been able to be with him while he is campaigning. You can imagine how frustrating it is to be in Hyannis Port reading all that he's doing and not participating in any way.

This week I decided one way to  keep from feeling left out was to talk through this column to the friendly people all over the country I would have met while campaigning. Just in the few weeks of being with Jack in Wisconsin and West Virginia I met so many people whom I would still like to be in touch with.

The worst part was not being in Los Angeles for the nomination. To me it seemed it would be surely better to be there than sitting anxiously by the television in Hyannis Port, but my obstetrician firmly disagreed. Since then I have resigned myself and have kept up with my husband by reading several newspapers every day and by writing to Jack's many friends throughout the country.

Las week was an exciting week for me and for Caroline, our daughter who will be three in November. Hurricane Donna came close enough to where we were in Hyannis Port to knock down ten trees and blow part of the roof away. We really weren't terribly frightened, but Caroline did worry about what was happening to her father and whether her kitten and puppy were safe.

Once she was assured Jack was in Texas where there was no storm, and Mitten and Charey were with us, we spent a cozy evening reading stories by candlelight.

This week, the doctor let me go to New York and spend two full days campaigning. I really didn't see Jack for more than a few moments alone, but at least I was part of things again. The first morning I was on Dave Garroway's show, which I enjoyed very much.

In the afternoon, it was fun to pick out maternity clothes, and talking to reporters about them was amusing. All that talk over what I wear and I how I fix up my hair has amused me and puzzled me. What does my hairdo have to do with my husband's ability to be President?

Actually I 've always loved clothes, and when I've had the time I've enjoyed the universal feminine sport of shopping around from store to store and looking for new styles in the women's magazines.

The next day I went out to the airport to meet Jack who was late because of the crash in the morning at La Guardia. We went together  to a huge luncheon at the Commodore which was very exciting. Everyone seemed so enthusiastic about Jack that I loved every minute of it. From there we flew from one rally or reception to another and finally to a large dinner. The next day I was back in Hyannis.

I'll be in Washington for a few days, then back in Massachusetts to close up the house. Already almost everyone else has left, so I'll be glad to be back in Washington permanently after that. I hope soon to be able to go along with Jack as much as possible, particularly on trips not too far away from Washington.

Manchester Suit

The lawsuit filed by Jacqueline Kennedy never reached the courtroom. On January 16, 1967, an accord was reached. While this accord hardly ended the hostilities between the Kennedys and William Manchester, the settlement permitted the publishers to proceed with publication of The Death of a President, minus several passages.

Statement on Behalf of Jacqueline Kennedy (Prepared by Richard Goodwin, John Siegenthaler and Edwin Guthman).

In late 1963, several authors were planning to write about the events surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Members of the family and members of the late President's staff were receiving many requests for interviews and cooperation.

In order to prevent proliferation of demands and at the same time to permit a full historical account, Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Mrs. John F. Kennedy — on the advice of many of those being contacted — agreed to submit to one interviewer regarding those painful days,

William Manchester was asked to interview Mrs. Kennedy and Senator Kennedy and to do the research and write the story of November 21-25, 1963. Neither Mrg. Kennedy nor Senator Kennedy then knew Mr. Manchester personally.

At that time the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library had begun an "oral history" project to record on tape the recollections of those involved in the Kennedy Administration. It was understood that all such tapes were to be deposited in the Kennedy Library to be made available to future historians at a time designated by the person interviewed. There are 300 such tapes already on deposit, some of them sealed for more than 100 years.

Mr. Arthur Schlesinger had interviewed Mrs. Kennedy for this project. When his interview reached the period of the assassination, he stopped. Since Mr. Manchester was to write his book, it was thought that he should complete the interview since it might give him valuable background material and would not subject Mrs. Kennedy to a repetition of an account of the facts.

Mrs. Kennedy and Senator Kennedy, :as they were interviewed, were told that they were talking for a "historian of the 21st century."

They were also told that, like all others interviewed, they could designate when, if ever, the tapes or the contents of their interviews could be released. Moreover, they felt fully protected by a formal contract signed by Mr. Manchester which guaranteed that nothing they said would be published without consent. They were reassured by both the author and representatives of the publishers. Harper & Row, that nothing they told Mr. Manchester would be printed unless they approved.

Under the agreement, the John F. Kennedy Memorial Library was to receive a share of the normal profits of the author and the publishers, since all agreed that Mr. Manchester's book was not "to be a commercial enterprise. Mr. Manchester publicly acknowledged this as outlined in a press release at the time of the signing of his agreement to write the book.

The terms of the agreement signed in March, 1964, provided that Mr. Manchester would not publish his book until his completed manuscript was submitted to Senator Kennedy and to Mrs, Kennedy and was approved. This, of course, was never done, nor were the tapes of their interviews with Mr. Manchester ever turned over to the library.

Under the protection of this agreement and unaware of any danger that there would be any unauthorized publication in her lifetime or that of her children, Mrs. Kennedy talked freely and for the historical record to Manchester in interviews that lasted about ten hours. She did not see or talk to Mr. Manchester again until he had completed his manuscript.

For about two years, until early 1966, Mr. Manchester worked on his book. No member of the Kennedy family supervised or directed his work in any way, nor did they discuss the book with him. He was completely on his own.

In early 1966, Mr. Manchester submitted the manuscript to Senator Kennedy, who asked Mr. Seigenthaler and Mr. Guthman to review the manuscript and make suggestions. They had frequent discussions about the text with Mr. Evan Thomas, of Harper & Row.

While the editorial process was continuing. Senator Kennedy assured Mr. Manchester that he would not stand in the way of publication or magazine serialization once a final text had been agreed upon, although neither then, nor at any subsequent time, was there any such approval. Mrs. Kennedy or her representatives had not reviewed the manuscript, although her personal approval was required.

In late July the manuscript was sold to Look magazine. However, we were then, and for the next several months, assured that the changes personally desired by Mrs. Kennedy would be made.

It is unnecessary to detail the almost endless series of meetings and conversations which took place all during the summer and through the fall. Mrs. Kennedy's requests were repeatedly made through representatives and by personal appeals. Galleys were edited, and lengthy editorial discussions were held. Despite constant reassurances, however, most of the requested changes were not made.

We continued our efforts to modify tlie manuscript dealing with personal passages and inaccuracies. The appeals went on, even as prospects grew dimmer, because all concerned knew that, regardless of the merits, legal action would create a painful and difficult situation.

In December, Mrs. Kennedy was finally and irrevocably denied the right even to see the current version of the manuscript. The passages were the same ones that she had been discussing throughout. In fact, as we later learned, most of this material had been retained.

It is impossible to describe the personal distress caused by this final refusal after months of discussion, reassurance and promises. Although a lawsuit would be painful, it could not equal the distress caused over this long period.

Moreover, it was clear that only through legal action could Mrs. Kennedy assert her right and desire to protect her private life and the innocent griefs of her children. Even then there was hesitation. For we all knew how difficult would be the storm that was sure to come.

A controversy, however, would end, while the published material would live forever. We also knew that some of the material might be printed in any event; but it would be transitory and fragmented and, at least, lack the seeming acquiescence of the family of President John Kennedy

And so the lawsuit was brought.

Now it has been settled among all the parties. Those personal passages of most concern have been deleted or modified. The recorded interviews will be deposited in the Kennedy Library, We are grateful for that. We all agree that the historical record has not been damaged, nor has the book itself been hurt.

Throughout discussions of changes and revisions, concern was expressed by us and by the publishers regarding passages which were unfair or inaccurate. Detailed memoranda were submitted, specifically objecting to these passages.

Many of the changes recommended in this connection were refused by the author, apparently on the ground that he was entitled to his own view of history. When we were not successful in getting the author and publisher to agree with these changes, we and the lawyers in the controversy felt these points should not properly be made a point of legal suppression.

Thus it is important to note that on the title page of each copy of the book published in the United States or abroad there will appear the following words:

"Harper & Row wishes to make it clear that neither Mrs. John F. Kennedy nor Senator Robert F, Kennedy has in any way approved or endorsed the material appearing in this book. The author, William Manchester, and the publishers assume complete and sole responsibility,"

All the parties, publishers and author, have stated that the material involved is only a small portion of an immense narrative; and we are told it is of little significance. We agree with that. Its only significance was to Mrs. Kennedy and to her children.

We can only regret that it was not possible to make the accommodations, which have now so easily been agreed upon, without the ordeal which legal action inevitably and foreseeably brought.
