Richard Poff on Kennedy Foreign Policy
(WDBJ Television, Roanoke, VA)

Republican Congressman Richard Poff from Roanoke believed the foreign policy agenda of the Kennedy administration had compromised American interests internationally. For example, Poff said America had offended the Dutch by siding with a communist leader in Indonesia, had offended Portugal by voting with the communist block in the United Nations to condemn practices in Angola, and had offended Canada as well. Poff also referred to American involvement in Vietnam as a "stalemated war."
