During a presidential election debate in Washington DC, Kennedy comments that its proper to express regrets to nations.
The second Kennedy-Nixon Presidential Debate in Washington DC, United States . Edward P. Morgan of ABC News asks Democratic candidate Senator John F Kennedy about sending apologies or regrets to General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Nikita S Khrushchev over the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft incident. Kennedy answers that if it could save the summit conference it would have been proper to express regrets. He speaks that the U-2 flights were proper from the point of view of protecting their security. But they were not in accordance with the international law. He speaks about the regrets expressed to Castro, to Southern Russia and to Eastern Germany under the Eisenhower Administration during the past years. He mentions the regrets expressed by the Soviet Union and the Chinese Communists to the U.S. over incidents. He states about they should have a stronger military force and should increase their strength all over the world. Republican candidate U.S. Vice President Richard M. Nixon presents his views and states that Senator Kennedy is wrong in thinking that Khrushchev might have continued with the summit conference if the U.S. had expressed regrets. He disagrees with Kennedy's analogies that the U.S. is a strong country and can express regrets for any wrong doings. He also disagrees in expressing regrets to anybody for doing things which has the support of the Congress and which is right from point of view to protect the security of the U.S. (This 4 part debate is sometimes called the Great Debate)
Nixon and Kennedy comment on the Cold War and Communist prestige during a presidential election debate in Washington DC.
The second Kennedy-Nixon Presidential Debate in Washington DC, United States. Edward P. Morgan of ABC News asks Republican candidate U.S. Vice President Richard M. Nixon to comment on whether the United States was doing well in the Cold War. Nixon states that they were not doing as well as they should have in the Cold War because of the presence of the Communists on the international scene. He says that the Communist prestige in the world is lower than the American prestige. He comments on cost cuttings on programs like mutual security and defense by the Democratic Congresses. Democratic candidate Senator John F Kennedy disagrees with Nixon's statement that the Congress has not provided funds for national defense. He also disagrees on the question of U.S. position in the United Nations. He mentions that various reports of Congressional committees indicate that the relative strength of the U.S. compared to that of the Soviet Union and the Chinese Communists together has deteriorated in the past years. Alvin Spivak of United Press International asks Kennedy how the losing prestige can be regained, and programs accomplished without damaging economy. Kennedy talks about the breaking off of the sugar quota with Cuba, passing of an authorization, and the development of the Inter-American Bank. He states that the U.S. has looked at the needs of Latin America. He states that instead of concentrating aid on surplus military equipment in Laos, the aid should have been concentrated in long-term loans. He concludes that Americans should identify themselves not only with the anti-Communist fight but also with the fight against poverty and hunger. Nixon presents his views and states that along with the necessity for economic assistance, the need for technical assistance should also be developed. Americans should not only think in terms of fighting Communism but also in terms of the interests of these countries. He concludes and mentions American ideals of independence, right of freedom and right of progress.

The second Kennedy-Nixon Presidential Debate in Washington DC, United States. Edward P. Morgan of ABC asks Democratic candidate Senator John F. Kennedy to comment on whether Quemoy (Kinmen) and Matsu Islands were unwise places to draw U.S. defense line in the Far East. Kennedy states that he believes strongly in the defense of Formosa (Republic of China or Taiwan) and says that the U.S. will defend Quemoy (Kinmen) and Matsu if it is a part of a general attack on Formosa (Taiwan). He says that the U.S. should consult with the Nationalists. He states that the Americans should protect their commitments. Republican candidate U.S. Vice President Richard M Nixon states that he disagrees completely with Senator Kennedy on this point and states the example of the Korean War. Regarding Quemoy (Kinmen) and Matsu he says that these two islands are in the area of freedom and under the control of the Nationalists. He states that the U.S. should not force the Nationalist allies to get off of them and give them to the Communists because the Communists aren't after Quemoy (Kinmen) and Matsu, but after Formosa (Taiwan).
