On October 16, President Kennedy signed a bill providing for the repeal of the requirement that non‐Communist affidavits be filed by college students and scientists seeking federal aid in furthering their education. The provision of the new bill repealing the affidavit requirement applies not only to loans and grants under the National Defense Education Act of 1958 but also to graduate fellowship awards and research stipends administered by the National Science Foundation, which, since its inception in 1950, has required such affidavits.
