Sorry Dennis, I at least cannot help you. The information
you've got sounds logical, of course. The quote should be
possible to find in one of the many histories of the
Kennedy "story" (or the K administration); the first place
to look, I think, would be in one of the works dealing
with the so miserably failed Bay of Pigs invasion attempt
in early 1961 - an action that JFK "inherited" from the
Eisenhower administration, it has been said. There is one
(purported) Cuba "expert" (or strong adherent) writing to
the M-I list, Luis N (N for "Nobleman", surely) Proyect;
he might know perhaps?! (And it's "Schlesinger", with only
one "s", I think.)
