IN reply, I wish to advise you that I am again contacting the Director of the Office of Naval officer Procurement in Boston, and shall be happy to continue to do what I can in Mr. DiLorenzo's behalf. I am writing direct to him today, advising him as to the efforts I am making in his behalf; and I shall keep him informed as to the results. My best wishes to you and the family. Sincerely," At the age of 28, John F. Kennedy entered politics, involving most of the members of his family in his campaign to win the Democratic nomination for Congress in Massachusetts' Eleventh District. After beating out nine other candidates in the primary, he easily defeated the Republican nominee in the general election and served from 1947-1952. Known for his accessibility to his constituents, Kennedy supported most of President Truman's "Fair Deal" program, although he occasionally attacked the President's foreign policy.
