Original Note:
This is a reference to a call by JFK to "splinter the CIA" after the disastrous Bay of Pigs Invasion. The quote is apocryphal, likely fed to the NYT by some of his staff or some CIA operative. JFK never openly asked for the CIA to be dismantled. https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1966/04/25/80004358.html?pageNumber=20
