The New Frontier: Unfulfilled Promises 4. Rejected Proposals Medical care for the aged Rebuilding of blighted urban areas Federal aid for education

The New Frontier: Unfulfilled Promises 5. Later proposals JFK made but never had the chance to guide through congress because he was assassinated A national assault on poverty An investigation of racial injustice in the South A national Civil Rights Bill A tax cut

Warren Commission The Warren Commission was the body that investigated the Kennedy Assassination. The Commission determined that JFK’s assassinator, Lee Harvey Oswald, acted alone

Term: Mandate Mandate: An overwhelming show of support by voters, or a clear indication that the voters approve of a politician’s plan. One reason for Kennedy’s difficulties was that he was elected by a small margin. As a result he lacked a popular mandate. Because JFK lacked overwhelming support, he rarely pushed hard for his bills.
