He was quoting someone else.
>President Kennedy had a taping system installed in the Oval Office which was both designed and installed by Robert Bouck, a Secret Service agent, in July 1962.[49] A microphone was located in the kneehole of the Resolute desk and a button was installed under the desk for Kennedy to turn it on and off at will. A second microphone was disguised on the coffee table in the same room.[50] Kennedy was the first president to make extensive use of recording as a means to document meetings, selectively recording over 238 hours of conversation between recording systems in both the Oval Office and Cabinet Room. This system was unknown to even most of Kennedy's top aides until it was revealed during the Watergate hearings in 1973.[49]
