He even made certain that such aid foes as Louisiana's Representative Otto Passman and Brooklyn's John Rooney were exposed to a soothing sunset on the Potomac by including them in the Mount Vernon reception for President Mohammed Ayub Khan of Pakistan (see The Capital...
Pope & President. Then the protocol-shattering frankness of President Ayub's 50-minute talk to a joint session of Congress gave the program an unexpected boost.

He found the President deaf to his impertinent insistence that the U.S. halt military aid to neutral India, got only silence from Catholic Kennedy when he asked for U.S. help in controlling Pakistan's soaring birth rate.
