"Hopefully, some day, the JFK Library in Boston (which I believe
houses all of Kennedy's press conferences on audio and video) will
remaster all 64 of those conferences and release them. .... Having all
of JFK's news conferences digitally archived would be ideal for the
preservation and historical record of John F. Kennedy's presidency."
-- DVP; January 2, 2008

Well, my wish has now come true, because the JFK Library has, indeed,
made available virtually all of President Kennedy's uncut press
conferences, via streaming audio at the JFK Library website.

As of this date (1/28/11), however, the newly-redesigned website at
http://JFKLibrary.org has a lot of bugs and dead links when it comes
to locating the proper webpages for those 64 JFK news conferences. But
I did a little digging and found the links to all of the 64
conferences at the site.

Two of the conferences (as of now) are not available as streaming
audio files (the 1/15/62 and 2/7/63 conferences), but the full
transcripts are available for those missing conferences.

I've revised my "JFK Press Conferences" blog to include links to every
conference, plus JFK's 11/10/60 news briefing as President-Elect, too.

Here's the link:

Also of interest is the JFK Library's vast "White House Audio
Collection", which now includes more than 800 files from JFK's three
years as President. Here's that link:

Hi DVP,

Thanks for providing the link! The web page you have created is VERY
clear. I have never heard the President Elect news conference before.
As an aside, interesting to note JFK denying that he has ever had
Addison's disease in it! :-)

Update:

It didn't take long for the JFK Library website to make available the
two missing news conferences. All 64 are now available in audio
format:

This is kind of ironic and shameless, coming from a primary
cheerleader for guys like Fetzer and "Yellow Pants" Holmes. You
haven't had an independent and coherent thought in your entire life,
have you?

FYI...

Another Press Conference Update:

I've now found video/film versions for three of JFK's news
conferences:

http://JFK-Press-Conferences.blogspot.com


The newly revamped JFK Library website is very nice, but it appears to
me that they've concealed a lot of good audio and video material deep
within the bowels of the massive site, and it takes considerable
digging and searching to find some of these items, such as these three
video versions of the conferences from 1/25/61, 3/1/61, and 3/8/61:


http://www.jfklibrary.org/Asset-Viewer/Archives/USG-1-25-2.aspx

http://www.jfklibrary.org/Asset-Viewer/Archives/USG-1-26.aspx

http://www.jfklibrary.org/Asset-Viewer/Archives/USG-1-27.aspx


The audio versions of those conferences are better, however, with
clearer sound quality than the video versions, and the March 8th video
conference is terrible, because the audio is totally out of sync with
the video, which makes that video file pretty much worthless.


More rare JFK video can be found at the link below, via the "United
States Government Agencies Collection", which is another great
resource to be found deep within those massive JFK Library bowels:
