Summary  
This document is a memorandum dated September 27, 1960, from S.B. Donahoe to A.H. Belmont regarding the United Arab Republic (UAR) reaction to Senator John F. Kennedy’s speech delivered on August 20, 1960, to Zionists. The UAR Ambassador to the U.S., C.A., reported that Senator Kennedy’s speech contained fallacies and exaggerated claims about Jewish support for his political efforts. The National Security Agency (NSA) intercepted coded diplomatic traffic from the UAR Ambassador to Cairo on August 26, 1960, which was classified Top Secret. The intercept indicated the UAR Ambassador believed Senator Kennedy’s speech was motivated by Zionist interests rather than genuine policy formulation. The Ambassador also noted that Senator Kennedy’s visit with him should not be disclosed. The memorandum highlights concerns about political expediency and potential diplomatic tensions between the UAR and other governments, including Israel.
