JFK Tape 104/A401August 15, 1963, 11:00 a.m. – Oval Office President Kennedy and Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.
Kennedy: The time may come, though, we’ve gotta just have to try to do something about Diem, and I think that’s going to be an awfully critical period.
Lodge: Oh, yes!
Kennedy: I don’t know how well prepared you are for that out there, or who we would sort of support, or who we would—and—I think that’s going to be the key—your key problem this year.
NSAM 263 är således in missnöjesmarkering från Kennedy, inget ovillkorligt tillbakadragande av amerikansk trupp.
181. Telegram From the Department of State to the Embassy in Vietnam Washington, October 5, 1963--5:39 p.m.
534. Eyes only for Ambassador Lodge.
2. Actions are designed to indicate to Diem Government our displeasure at its political policies and activities and to create significant uncertainty in that government and in key Vietnamese groups as to future intentions of United States. At same time, actions are designed to have at most slight impact on military or counterinsurgency effort against Viet Cong, at least in short term.
I det fall att Diem regimens respons är otillräcklig, överväger Kennedy mer drastiska åtgärder.
(forts. telegram till Lodge)
5. It is not possible to specify with precision the criteria that we should use in determining whether this proposed course of action has brought about adequate changes in performance of Diem Government and should, therefore, be modified or withdrawn, or whether on contrary response of the Diem Government is clearly inadequate so that more drastic action should be considered.

Operation 34A (full name, Operational Plan 34A, also known as OPLAN 34Alpha) was a highly-classified U.S. program of covert actions against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (DRV or North Vietnam), consisting of agent team insertions, aerial reconnaissance missions and naval sabotage operations. Though begun in 1961 by the Central Intelligence Agency,
in 1964 the program was transferred to the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam Studies and Observations Group (SOG) during Operation Parasol/Switchback.

1. Operationen var en unilateral amerikansk operation, utan inblandning från Sydvietnams militära styrkor.Dvs, ett kvalitativt jättekliv från de räder in på Nords territorium som genomfördes av Sydvietnamesiska militärer assisterade av amerikanska rådgivare och utbildare.
2. Operationen löd formellt under Pentagon under nybildade "MACSOG", även om CIA fortfarande var med på ett hörn.
3. Operationen var menad att successivt eskalera.
4. Operationen gällde även amerikansk intervention långt in i Laos och Kambodja.
5. Operationen inkluderade även reguljära amerikanska örlogsfartyg (i.e. "DeSoto") som 'signalspanade' i Tonkinbukten inne på nordvietnamesiskt territorialvatten samtidigt som MACSOG enligt OPLAN 34A genomförde räder in på Nords territorium.

7. With respect to action against North Vietnam, there should be a detailed plan for the development of additional Government of Vietnam resources, especially for sea-going activity, and such planning should indicate the time and investment necessary to achieve a wholly new level of effectiveness in this field of action.

8. With respect to Laos, a plan should be developed for military operations up to a line up to 50 kilometers inside Laos, together with political plans for minimizing the international hazards of such an enterprise.

1. Ett ca 5 millimeter i diameter runt "punctuated entry wound" från en kula/projektil avlossad framifrån.Den kirurg (Dr. Malcolm Perry) som genomförde trakeotomin ljög sedan inför Warrenkommissionen när han bedyrade att han hade blivit feltolkad av pressen under presskonferensen strax efter dödförklaringen. Att han inte hade sagt att det lilla runda hålet i strupen var ett ingångshål.
2. Ett snitt (i.e. trakeotomi) utfört under räddningsförsöken i Parkland precis intill kulhålet. Ett snitt som i de tillgängliga fotografierna är manipulerat på sätt som visar att det är förstorat som om någon med våld har dragit ut dess sidor så att det framstår som ett stort ovalt köttigt sår.
