Here is the teri OF re-
marks made By Republican
Leader Dirksen at a meeting
of the Senate today:
The memory of John Fitz-
gerald Kennedy fingers in this
forum Of the people. Here we
knew his vigorous tread. his
flashing smile, his ready wit,
his keen mind, his zest for ad-
venture. Here with quiet grief
we mourn his departure.
Here we shall remember him
best as a colleague whose star
of public service is indelibly
inscribed on the roll Of the
United States Senate.
And here the eternal ques-
ton confronts and confounds
us. Why must it be? Why must
the life Of an amiable, friendly
aggressive young man, moved
only by high motives. lighted on
his way by high hopes, guided
by broad plans, impelled by
understanding and vision, be
brought to an intimely end
and with his labor unfinished?
"Ecstacy Of Living"
And why. in a free land. un-
touched by the heel of dicta-
torship and oppression, where
the humblest citizen may freely
utter his grievances, must that
life be cut short by an evil
instrument, moved by malice,
Illustration and hate? This Is

leaves us bewildered and per-
! picked.
One moment there is the
ecstasy Of living when one can
hear the treble cries Of scam
pering children over the White
House lawn, the pleasure of
receiving a Thanksgiving Tur-
key which I presented to him
but three days before the evil
deed, the pleasure Of CONVEX
sation over many things in
Guiding his hopes for the flu
ture, the exciting fact of sun
shine and green grass in late
November, the endless stream
of citizens coming to the Presi-
dents house, the strident voice
of traffic, the animation Of
saluting crowds, and then the
sudden strangling death rale
of dissolution.
Who shall say, save that
there is q Divinity which
shapes our ends and marks our
days.
AS the tumult and grief sub
side, as the Nation resumes
and moves forward, and his
own generation measures his
works and achievements, what
shall we say who know him
well-we in this forum where
he spent eight years of his life
we who knew him best not
as Mr.. President but simply
as Jack?
1--WE Saw Him Grow"
We saw him come to this
body at age AZ. We saw him
grow. We saw him rise. We saw
him elevated to become the
Chief Magistrate Of this Ma
ton. And we saw him as the
leaders of both bhanches OF
this Republic assembled to de-
liberate over common prob
lens.
In this moment when death
has triumphed. when hearts
are chastened, when the spirit
reels in sheer bewilderment,
what do we say, now that the
book Of life has been closed?
Let me say what we have
always said when he was alive,
gay, happy, friendly, ambitious
and ready to listen.
He had vision that went be-
You'd our own. His determine
ton to effectuate a test-ban
treaty is a living example.
He was his own profile In
courage. His unrelenting devo-
ton to equality and civil
rights attests that fact.
He was devoted to our sys-
tenn Of constitutional Govern
ment. His attitude toward the
separation of church and state
looms like a shining example.

ment he may have seemed
frustrated over a proposition
it was so transitory. If hi
showed any sign Of petulance
it was so fleeing. There were
no souring acids in his spirit
II at any moment he may
have seemed over-eager, it was
but the reflection Of a jealous
crusader and missioner who
knew where he was going.
II at any moment he seemed
to depart from the covenant
which he and his party made
with the people. it was only
because he believed that &C.
celebrated events and circum-
stances did not always heed
theclock and the calendar.
If his course sometimes
seemed at variance with his
own party leaders or with the
opposition, it was only be-
cause a deep conviction die
tated his course.
Sentiment Summed Up
On the tablets of memory
We knnw him well as a friend
and colleague can well inscribe
this sentiment:
Senator John Fitzgerald
Kennedy, who became the SSH
President of the United States
Young, vigorous, aggressive
and scholarly-One who esti'
mated the needs of his countr!
and the world and sought Il
fulfill that need-One who wa
welded to peace and vigorousl!
sought this greatest of all goal
of mankind
One who sensed how cata.
strophic nuclear conflict coulc
be and sought a realistic course
to avert it-One who senseC
the danger that lurked in aeon.
tinuing inequality incur lane
and sought a rational and dur.
able solution-One to whom
the phrase 1.-The national in.
terest" was more than a string
of words
One who could disagree with
out vindictivenesS - One who
believed that the expansion Of
the enjoyment of living by all
people was an achievable goal
One who believed that each
generation must contribute Its
best to the fulfillment of the
American dream"
The tie deums which will be
sung this day may be waited
away by the evening breeze
which caresses the last resting
place of those who served the
Republic, but here in this
chamber where he served and
prepared for higher responsible
ity the memory Of John Fitz-
gerald Kennedy will long lingel
to nourish the faith of all who
serve that same great land.

at the casket with heads bowed
in silent prayer.
AS she had done twice yes
terday, Mrs. Kennedy touched
the flag covering the casket
and then kissed it.
She was dressed in black
with a heavy veil. There was
silence in the great domed
rotunda as the three arose and
moved away.
A Lingering Look
They paused for a last linger-
ing look before turning toward
the entrance and the procession
forming under the bright sun
light outside.
The Attorney General was
holding Mrs. Kennedy's hand
and she seemed to be weeping
AS they walked down the
steps leading to the Rotunda
the Presidents casket was
slipped from its resting place.
An honor guard carried it from
the Rotunda. a sailor, bearing
the Presidents flag, walking
behind the casket.
Guards outside the door
saluted as the casket was borne
down the Capitol steps in the
hushed stiffness of thousands
gathered there.
Hail to the Chief"
An officer called attention,
a salute was fired and a band
broke into Hail to the Chief, u
which the slain President had
received many times with a
shy smile.
The United States Coast
Guard Academy Band gave
four ruffles Of muffled drums
and slowly the procession got
under way.
Mrs. Kennedy and other
members of the Presidents
family rode in six black limou-
Sines to the White House as
the procession in three march
ing units and the cortege
moved off. Nearly 1000 officers
and men were in the process
sion.
The clear strains of the fu-
neral dirge were heard along
Pennsylvania avenue, as the
cortege approached the Capitol.
The bell at st. Johns Epis-
copal Church, across Lafay-
cite Square from the White
House tolled. The Naval Acad-
envy Choir sang softly.
Mostly a Silent Crowd
For the most part it was a
I silent crowd. a crowd Of bowed
heads and tears.
But at one point, as the Gals
son turned the corner by the
Treasury Building, a woman
broke into a high pitched wall
President Kennedy is gone
Oh, Lord, Lord" She kept ur
her cry but the words trailed
off and soon were indistingu-
ishable.
Mrs. Kennedy left the White
House at 1920 am. to join the
funeral cortege at the Capitol
She came out of the north por-
tico on the arm Of the Attorney
General and they were Joined

cession by Senator Kennedy.

The car bearing the late
Presidents children followed.
Caroline was standing, peering
around her.
Then came the members Of
Mr.. Kennedy's staff. Mrs. Eve
Ign Lincoln. his longtime per-
sonal secretary, wiped away
tears. Theodore Sorensen, his
closest personal counsel since
Senate days, walked with head
upright.
Next to him White House
Assistant Richard Goodwin was
racked by sobs. The leaders of
the Congress fell in behind the
line Of march and the process
sion moved out the northwest
gate onto Pennsylvania avenue.
Military Ranks
Rank on rank the military
came. representing all the
services.
One unit was formed of
green bereted Army Special
Forces men, many Of whom
had seen service in South Wet
Nam.
Church bells pealed in the
distance and the crowd watched
in silence.
At 11:15 am. the caisson
bearing President Kennedy's
flag draped coffin arrived in
front of the cathedral and
halted.
Mrs. Kennedy, after a pause,
took daughter Caroline and son
John by their hands and led
them to the steps.
Church Crowded
The church was already
crowded when the procession
entered and a choir sang.
Mrs. Kennedy and the two
Kennedy brothers sat in a
front pew. Her children were
with her. Caroline rocked back
and forth gently as the choir
stopped singing and silence fell
over the church. Then an or
gan began playing.
AS they left the Cathedral
Mrs. Kennedy and the two
children walked behind the
honor guard carrying the cas-
ket and a sailor carrying the
Presidents flag.
Little John who is 8 years
old today, looked around, SEEM
ingly bewildered and Mrs
Kennedy leaned over and
whispered to him. He handed
her a book he was carrying
and raised his hand in salute
as the casket was returned to
the caiSSon.
Mrs. Kennedy, entered q
limousine for the final stage OF
the procession. The Attorney
General joined her.
The church bells began to
toll and once more the muffled
drums beat in cadence.
Went to Early Mass
Mrs. Kennedy, before going
to the Capitol to start the fu-
neral procession, went to mass
at st. Matthews at 8 am.
In the Capitol rotunda where

/. The central part Of United
States policy in South Wet

government of South Wet Nam
in winning the war against the
Wet Cong guerrillas, and all
United States actions and po-
licies in South Wet Nam should
be direc to that overall
objective.
2. A schedule set by Presi-
dent Kennedy for withdrawal
Of at least 1000 American mill
tary personnel from South Wet
Nam by the end Of this year
remains in force, as does the
objective Of withdrawing all
forces by the end of 1865 If the
South Wet Namese army has
demonstrated ability to carry
on the war successfully.
8. 1t should be the policy Of
all officials of this Government
involved in dealing with Wet
Nam to assist the present gov
eminent in consultations and
developing public support for
its programs for the anti-C Com

that there be full support from
all Government agencies for
these policy positions in Wet

there has been such unity for
the past several weeks, but that
previously there had been con-
flict among some United States
agen cies operating in South
Wet Nam. Presumably he was

American Embassy officials in
Saigon were at one time work.
