According to one document, the CIA intercepted a call made by Lee Harvey Oswald (the assassinator) to a KGB officer at the Russian Embassy in Mexico in less than two months before killing JFK.   

The CIA suspected that he is also a KGB agent. 

JFK was known for many positive personality attributes and one of his famous quotes,"And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country," reverberates among all American citizens till today.
