By 1963, Washington believed that any animosity between US President John F. Kennedy and the Central Intelligence Agency had completely disappeared, any problems were simply water-under-the-bridge. The consensus was that although President Kennedy was somewhat dissatisfied with the CIA after the Bay of Pigs invasion, there is no evidence that Kennedy actually wanted to break up the agency at anytime, even when he instituted his reviews. His statement about splintering the CIA was likely made in a moment of frustration with the Bay of Pigs failure. The CIA had survived two and a half years without being reduced or dismantled in any way. Not so. Kennedy was about the make a major announcement. The Agency would be disbanded, and reconstuted as the Central Intelligence Group (as envisaged by President Truman at its inception on 26th July 1947). Kennedy would refocus on the primary function of obtaining and analyzing information about foreign governments, corporations, and persons in order to advise public policymakers. Not acting as the cowboy strong-arm of American foreign policy, fighting undercover wars and unseating the 'wrong' governments. Kennedy had no confidence in the agency by now, there was just no mileage in losing undercover wars.
