Inauguration Of President John F.Kennedy, 1961
John Fitzgerald Kennedy is inaugurated into office as the 35th President of the United States, the youngest man and the first Roman Catholic ever elected to the office.
Scenes show highlights of the ceremonials in the Capital as Sam Rayburn, the Speaker of the House, administers the oath to fellow Texan Lyndon B. Johnson, the new Vice President, and Chief Justice Earl Warren swears in John F Kennedy. Despite a paralyzing blizzard, hundreds of thousands are on hand to hear the new President deliver his brief but stirring inaugural message.
