This folder contains materials collected by the office of President John F. Kennedy's secretary, Evelyn Lincoln, concerning President Kennedy's address to a meeting of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) at the Sheraton-Park Hotel in Washington, D.C. In his speech the President explains how the IMF helps to ensure international economic stability, and discusses how his administration limits straining the country's balance of payments by increasing exports, maintaining stable prices, limiting foreign expenditures, decelerating foreign demand on the country's capital markets, and increasing the attractiveness of foreign investment in the United States. Materials in this folder include a press and mimeographed copy of the speech, in addition to note cards with handwritten notations by the President.
