The crisis started when in 1948 the Soviet Union tried to effectively get the whole of Berlin under its control. Stalin hoped to achieve this by closing to the Western powers all roads and waterways leading to Berlin, making Berling totally dependent for its food and all its other necessities from the Soviets. The Western powers circumvented the Soviet blockade by starting an airlift to Berlin, providing in well over 200,000 flights its citizens with food and supplies. The Soviets were forced by its success to lift the blockade in 1949.

The Berlin Crisis of 1961 began with the Soviet Union building a wall between East and West Berlin. The Soviets shut off access to West Berlin. The Allies responded with the Berlin Airlift and the crisis was resolved.
The Berlin Crisis was solved by the Berlin Airlift. For several months in 1961 thousands of tons of supplies were flown into West Berlin. This broke the blockade of Berlin by the Soviets.

Your question is vague, so the only crisis dealing with Berlin that I can think of would be the Berlin airlift. If this is the case JFK was not in office in 1949. He wasn't elected president until 1960. If you mean the Cuban crisis that is a different story.
The Berlin Crisis and the Berlin Blockade are related but not identical events. The Berlin Blockade occurred from June 1948 to May 1949 when the Soviet Union attempted to cut off all ground access to West Berlin in response to the introduction of a new currency in West Germany. The broader Berlin Crisis refers to the heightened tensions and conflicts over Berlin that included the Blockade but also encompassed earlier and later events, including the division of the city and the eventual construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961. Thus, while the Blockade was a significant episode within the broader context of the Berlin Crisis, they are not the same thing.
