Remarks After Inspecting the Missile Test Center, Cape Canaveral, Florida.

February 10, 1960

WELL, it was an interesting day, and I have been wanting to come here for a long time, so it's a trip that's another realization of an ambition.

Obviously, it is the most highly instrumented place you can imagine, and certainly the personnel show every evidence of a high degree of competence.

So from my viewpoint it was a very worthwhile trip, and I hope it has been for you fellows.

Good luck to you.

Note: The President spoke at the airstrip before boarding a plane to return to Washington. His remarks were addressed primarily to the reporters who accompanied him.
