United States President John F. Kennedy addresses a press conference in Washington DC. President Kennedy outlines the West's reply to Nikita Khrushchev's threats to sign a peace treaty with East Germany.

For a city or a people to be free requires that they be given the opportunity, without economic, political or police pressure, to make their own choice to live their own lives.
