9. Memorandum of a Meeting with President Kennedy Prepared by CIA Director Mccone at • of Ind JFK and His CIA Director Discuss the Right Tack to Take with Castro

In particular, I have neither the intention nor the de- This sire to invade Cuba; I consider that it is for the Cuban people themselves to niest decide their destiny. I am determined to continue with policies which will con- tribute to peace in the Caribbean.6... There are other issues and problems before us, but perhaps I have said enough to give you a sense of my own current thinking on these matters. Let me now also offer the suggestion that it might be helpful if some time in May I should send a senior personal representative to discuss these and other matters informally with you. The object would not be formal negotiations, but a fully frank, informal exchange of views, arranged in such a way as to receive as little attention as possible. If this thought is appealing to you, please let me know your views on the most convenient time. In closing, I want again to send my warm personal wishes to you and all your family. These are difficult and dangerous times in which we live, and both you and I have grave responsibilities to our families and to all of mankind. The pres- sures from those who have a less patient and peaceful outlook are very great— but I assure you of my own determination to work at all times to strengthen world peace. -

An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M.

Mulhollan PLACE: Mr. Bundy's office, New York City Tape 1 of 1 M: Let's begin by way of identification. You are McGeorge Bundy, currently president of the Ford Foundation. Your government service, insofar as President Johnson's administration was concerned, lasted from the time he became president, when you were national security adviser, until you resigned in December of 1965 and left in what, February of 1966? B: The end of February, 1966. M: The end of February. One of the most frequent comments on Mr. Johnson as a foreign policy leader is that when he came to the presidency, he knew almost nothing about foreign affairs. Is this an accurate statement or assessment? B: Well, it is and it isn't. This was of course often said, and the President was sensitive to the fact that it was said. We were in the habit of explaining to the press, and I think perfectly fairly, that the fact that the President had not had formal diplomatic experience to any great extent was no true measure of the degree of his exposure to major questions in foreign affairs. -
Robert Kennedy Jr.'S 25 Truths on the Secret Negotiations Between Fidel
Robert Kennedy Jr.’s 25 Truths on the Secret Negotiations between Fidel Castro and President Kennedy By Salim Lamrani Region: Latin America & Caribbean, USA Global Research, June 25, 2015 Theme: History Al Mayadeen More than half a century ago, Fidel Castro and John F. Kennedy conducted secret negotiations aimed at normalizing relations between the United States and Cuba. Robert Kennedy Jr., nephew of the assassinated President, recounts these events and praises Obama’s policy of rapprochement, which is making his uncle’s “dream” a “reality(1)”.[1] 1. After the October 1962 missile crisis, a conflict that almost led to a nuclear disaster, and its resolution that included the withdrawal of Soviet missiles from Cuba and US missiles from Turkey, President John F. Kennedy decided to undertake a process of normalization of relations with Cuba. 2. During his trip to the Soviet Union in 1962, Fidel Castro spoke at length with Nikita Khrushchev about Kennedy. According to the former president’s nephew, “Castro returned to Cuba determined to find a path to reconciliation” with the United States. 3. In 1962, Kennedy commissioned James Donovan, a New York lawyer, and John Dolan, an advisor to Attorney General Robert Kennedy, to negotiate the release of the 1500 Bay of Pigs invaders held in Cuba. During his meeting with the Washington emissaries, Fidel Castro made clear his desire to normalize relations with the United States and maintain links based on sovereign equality, reciprocity and non-interference in internal affairs. “My father Robert and JFK were intensely curious about Castro and demanded detailed, highly personal, descriptions of the Cuban leader from both Donovan and Nolan. -

Articles SANCTUARIES AS EQUITABLE DELEGATION in an ERA of MASS IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT
Copyright 2018 by Jason A. Cade Printed in U.S.A. Vol. 113, No. 3 Articles SANCTUARIES AS EQUITABLE DELEGATION IN AN ERA OF MASS IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT Jason A. Cade ABSTRACT—Opponents of—and sometimes advocates for—sanctuary policies describe them as obstructions to the operation of federal immigration law. This premise is flawed. On the better view, the sanctuary movement comports with, rather than fights against, dominant new themes in federal immigration law. A key theme—emerging both in judicial doctrine and on- the-ground practice—focuses on maintaining legitimacy by fostering adherence to equitable norms in enforcement decision-making processes. Against this backdrop, the sanctuary efforts of cities, churches, and campuses are best seen as measures necessary to inject normative (and sometimes legal) accuracy into real-world immigration enforcement decision-making. Sanctuaries can erect front-line equitable screens, promote procedural fairness, and act as last-resort circuit breakers in the administration of federal deportation law. The dynamics are messy and contested, but these efforts in the long run help ensure the vindication of equity-based legitimacy norms in immigration enforcement. AUTHOR—Associate Professor of Law, University of Georgia School of Law.

JACKIE KENNEDY’S PRESIDENTIAL PERSONA: (RE)ASSESSING HER RHETORICAL INFLUENCE by COURTNEY ALEXSIS CAUDLE (Under the Direction of Edward Panetta) ABSTRACT In rhetorical studies, much has been written on the role of first lady and the women whom enacted this position. Scholars in several fields (history, rhetoric, popular culture) have examined First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy: however, this thesis supplements existing research both in first lady scholarship generally and on Jackie’s specific performance as first lady. I contend that Jackie’s performance remains unique because she carved a celebrity space both inimitable in the 1960s yet available to subsequent first ladies. I examine mediated texts (both visual and written) from 1961-1963 to (re)examine her enactment of the role during (1) President Kennedy’s Inauguration, (2) her televised tour of the White House, and (3) President Kennedy’s funeral. Ultimately, I argue she was integral to historical and contemporary public memory of his presidential persona and legacy.
