A committee staffer said a group, linked to CIA clandestine work, “petered out” in 1963 and there is no evidence President Kennedy knew of or approved its existence. The operation is described as separate from the 1961 Castro poisoning plot tied to Bay of Pigs. A former CIA official confirmed initial executive action considerations in the Kennedy era.
