In the weekly "Nouvelle Observateur," right after the overthrow of the Kennedy administration, the respected journalist Jean Daniel revealed that he had had a substantial conversation with John Kennedy shortly before the coup. Daniel was about to travel to Cuba, and Kennedy charged him with a private message to Castro to the effect that he, Kennedy, was prepared to negotiate a rapprochement between the US and Cuba. What was accomplished by the liquidation of Kennedy was, at a minimum: -continuation of the US quarantine of Cuba to this moment -prevention of a US withdrawal from Vietnam following a

Buddhist-mediated agreement between the NLF and the

Buddhist South Vietnamese president Duong Van Minh

(himself to be overthrown very shortly after the

overthrow of Kennedy).
