Information contained in the document is classified "Secret" and concerns a bank draft written by John F. Kennedy to Alicia Merino Fuentes, a person whose reliability was unknown to the United States.

The CIA has requested permission to include information about this bank draft in a summary of information concerning Kennedy, stating that it comes from their files.

Summary:
During his tenure as President, Kennedy was known to write bank drafts to persons known as active Communist workers. It was suggested that he was "good" for financing Communist Party activities.

The CIA refers specifically to one bank draft written by Alicia Merino Fuentes on February 10, 1958, stating that she was an active communist and that the only allegation against her was a 1934 allocation made to the Embassy in Mexico.

The FBI has developed information indicating payees of other banks, but no subversive associations or sympathies have been found regarding Kennedy's bank drafts.
