"But even if we act to erase material poverty, there is another greater task, it is to confront the poverty of satisfaction - purpose and dignity - that afflicts us all. Too much and for too long, we seemed to have surrendered personal excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things."

A moment of silence will follow the tolling of bells in Dallas as part of ceremonies to honor President Kennedy on the 50th anniversary of his assassination.

The ceremonies begin at 11:30 a.m. CT (12:30 p.m. ET).

The moment of silence is planned for 12:30 p.m. CT (1:30 p.m. ET) to mark the moment Kennedy was shot. Just before that, bells throughout the city of Dallas will toll. Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner and historian David McCullough will read excerpts from famous Kennedy speeches.

A new JFK monument will be unveiled during the ceremony. The inscription on the monument is the final paragraph of the speech JFK intended to deliver at the Dallas Trade Mart on November 22, 1963.

President Trump said he intends to allow the release of classified government documents about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy "Subject to the receipt of further information."

Trump's tweet comes as he is staring down an October 26 deadline set in law by Congress mandating the public release of the still-secret documents -- including FBI and CIA files -- barring any action by the President to block the release of certain documents.

During the 2016 campaign, Trump made the unfounded claim that the father of GOP rival Sen. Ted Cruz was associated with Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, a claim he has never reneged nor apologized for. Ref. CNN.
