*These Etexts Prepared By Hundreds of Volunteers and Donations*
**The Project Gutenberg Etext of Kennedy's Inaugural Address** *******This file should be named jfk11.txt or jfk11.zip*******
Corrected EDITIONS of our etexts get a new NUMBER, jfk11.txt VERSIONS based on separate sources get new LETTER, jfk11a.txt
[Etext #3] November 22, 1973, 10th Anniversary of Assassination [Officially rereleased for November 22, 1993, 30th Anniversary]
We apologize for the fact that the legal small print is longer, and more complicated, than the Etext itself, our legal beagles, of whom there are now a half dozen or so, insist this must be a part of any Project Gutenberg Etext we post, for our protection from the rest of the legal beagles out there. The US has twice as many lawyers as the rest of the world combined!
You are free to delete the headers and just keep the Etexts, we are not free not to post it this way. Again my apologies. The normal Project Gutenberg blurb has been deleted, you can get it in this location in most Project Gutenberg Etexts. Thanks, mh
We will rerelease all of the early short Project Gutenberg text files combined as one file, with only one header, as requested, by several of the organizations reposting our books, who should like to save space and time for themselves and their readers.

Hart through the Project Gutenberg Association at Illinois Benedictine College (the "Project").
