him a full review of all MJ-12 Intelligence Operations related to Psychological Warfare Plans (1).
Such disclosure of the CIA’s highest classified intelligence had put Allen Dulles at the center of blame for botching an embarrassing invasion. Kennedy had already set in motion mechanisms to strip the CIA of all paramilitary covert operations. Now Dulles was being forced to expose Kennedy to the “family jewels” of the CIA’s most guarded secret.
This might have compromised the whole U.S. intelligence community and MJ-12. The end result of that June 28, 1961 directive appears to be a full Operational Review prepared by Dulles dated 5 November 1961 (Figure 4, next page).
In this one page Figure 4 document, Dulles tells JFK that indeed some UFOs may be of “non-terrestrial origin” and that “I cannot divulge pertinent data on some of the more sensitive aspects of MJ-12 activities which have been deemed properly classified under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954.”
This page one of a full operational review is a retype of the original document and from research has all the indications of being authentic as of 2000. The SNIE below is also dated 5 November 61, and mentioned by Dulles in his operational briefing.

President Kennedy began to back away from nuclear confrontation with the Soviets, the Communist insurgent wars in Laos and Vietnam, the dismantling of the CIA and the firing of Allen Dulles, Richard Bissell, and General Cabell.
Instead, he began to assume control and reorganize the space program. On 26 May 1962, President Kennedy requested a classified directive be written up by the Secretary of State to the Department of Defense, CIA, NASA, AEC and science advisers which said:
The President is concerned about possible attacks on the U.S. Space Program at the forthcoming session of the U.N. Outer Space Committee and the General Assembly. Please develop positions on the following questions in consultation with DOD, CIA, NASA, AEC, and the science advisor:
1. How do we deal with charges the United States is seeking a military domination in space and plans to use space to launch weapons of mass destruction?
2. [Sanitized]
3. How do we defend the past and prospective space experiments (high-altitude nuclear test Project West Ford), which may have lasting effects in space and impair the free use of space by other nations?
4. How do we dispel foreign misapprehensions arising from our bitter domestic debate...and charges that the legislation is somehow inconsistent with U.N. statements. The president would like to see the positions developed to deal with these questions.

While the intelligence community was formulating plans on how to deal with the president’s new direction on the CIA’s space program and MJ-12 intelligence operations, Kennedy wrote a private letter to Nikita S. Khrushcev. In this letter he expressed relief that the nuclear confrontation arising over Khrushcev’s placing of offensive missiles on Castro’s Cuba had ended. Dated 14 December 1962, Kennedy revealed a new channel of communications which was later intercepted by the NSA:
Dear Mr. Chairman:
I was glad to have your message of December 11th and to know that you believe, as we do, that we have come to the final stage of the Cuban affair between us, the settlement of which will have significance for our future relations and for our ability to overcome other difficulties. I wish to thank you for your expression of appreciation of the understanding and flexibility we have tried to display.
With regard to your reference to the confidential channels set up between us, I can assure you that I value them. I have not concealed from you that it was a serious disappointment to me that dangerously misleading information should have come through these channels before
