An FBI account of a 1961 trip to South America by the late Edward M. Kennedy alleges that he rented a brothel in Chile and dined with an economist in Colombia who was being investigated as a possible Soviet spy.

The newly disclosed allegations about Kennedy’s Latin America tour, a trip to bolster foreign policy credentials before his Senate campaign the next year, are detailed in an internal FBI memo written several months after he returned to the United States. Published yesterday on the website of a conservative group, Judicial Watch, it is unlikely to alter public opinion about a man whose triumphs and failings are already well known.
