THE NEW YORK TIMES, June 26, 1963

* President John F. Kennedy 
* Frankfort, West Germany
* Paulskirche speech - St. Paul's Church
* Post World War II relations w/ Germany
* Threat of Soviet communism warning 

The top of the front page has a four column headline: "KENNEDY URGES 'COHESIVE EUROPE' IN EQUAL PARTNERSHIP WITH U.S.; MIXED ATOMIC FORCE IS DEFERRED" with subheads. (see images) Much more inside with complete text of his speech and a few related photos. Loads of text here. Kennedy's assassination would occur a few months later. 
Complete with 64 pages, light foxing and very minor wear along the central fold, generally in very nice condition. 

Background: President John F. Kennedy’s Paulskirche speech on June 25, 1963, in Frankfurt, West Germany, was a tribute to democratic ideals and the enduring bond between the United States and the German people. Speaking in the historic church where Germany’s first democratic parliament met in 1848, Kennedy praised West Germany’s democratic revival and economic strength after World War II. He emphasized the shared commitment to freedom and constitutional government and called for unity among Western nations against the threat of Soviet communism. The speech was part of his broader European tour and served to reaffirm U.S. support for a strong, democratic, and united Europe.
