Tribute to John F. Kennedy, date unknown. Produced by the US Information Agency (USIA).

The interests of President Kennedy and President Johnson in the Alliance for Progress are shown.  At the beginning of the film, delegates of the United Nations stand silently in mourning for the assassinated President; President Johnson accompanies Mrs. Kennedy to the Capitol where President Kennedy lies in state. There follows a succession of statements by President Kennedy about the Alliance; his original proposal, followed by a review of the Alliance's achievements during his administration; his appearances in Venezuela and Colombia in 1961; his visit to the University of Costa Rica in 1963; his November 18, 1963 address to the Inter-American Press Association in Miami.  On November 26, 1963, President Johnson calls Latin American diplomats to the White House, where, in the presence of Mrs. Kennedy, he reaffirms America's commitment to the Alliance.
