August 5, 1962
(3:30 AM) Monroe’s housekeeper, Mrs. Eunice Murray,
telephones Dr. Greenson. He breaks into the locked bedroom and finds the body.
Another physician who has treated the actress arrives fifteen minutes later. He and Greenson spend some
time discussing the sources of the pill bottles littering Marilyn’s bedroom perhaps worrying that
they might be implicated in the death. (AQOC)
(4:25 AM) -- A telephone call is received at the West Los Angeles Patrol Division reporting
Marilyn Monroe’s death.
Sergeant Jack Clemmons is first officer on the scene. Even twenty-five years later he will still maintain: “It was the most obvious murder I ever saw.
Everything was staged.” Ruled a suicide. Monroe is 36 years old.
(6:04 AM) -- JFK receives a telephone call at the White House from Peter Lawford in
California.
This is an hour after Lawford has hired security consultants to bury all evidence of
the Kennedy brothers’ affairs with Monroe.
According to some sources, the scenario of the death of Marilyn Monroe involved
Lawford and RFK. It goes as follows:
After desperate calls by Monroe to the Lawford beach house, RFK and his
brother-in-law returned to her home. They found the actress either dead or
dying and phoned for an ambulance. One or both of them may have joined the
ambulance on a last-hope drive to a hospital -- only to turn it around when it
became clear Monroe was dead. The body was then replaced in the bed -- nude,
face down and with the phone in her hand. RFK left town rapidly the way he
had arrived, by helicopter and aircraft. Dr. Greenson, Monroe’s psychiatrist,
confirms privately, years from now, that RFK was present that night and that an
ambulance was called.
9:30 AM -- RFK appears with his family at mass in Gilroy.
It is also alleged that Peter Lawford goes through Monroe’s house, destroying a note - or
half-written letter - that mentions the Kennedys, and proceeds to tidy up the place. One or
perhaps two other friends are also on hand. Lawford also contacts Hollywood private detective
Fred Otash, telling him that Marilyn is dead, that Bobby was at her house earlier, and that they
have gotten him out of the city and back to Northern California. Lawford tells Otash that he has
destroyed what he could find at Monroe’s but would feel better if a professional looked around
for anything incriminating the Kennedys.
Before an Otash agent reaches the scene at 9:00 AM,
someone has broken open a file cabinet. Monroe’s diary and personal notes are never found.
(AQOC)
LHO begins his subscription to The Worker on this date.
August 6, 1962
White House telephone log indicates that Judith Campbell calls
the President twice today -- once in the afternoon and once in the evening. A note in the log
indicates that JFK is in conference, with the scrawled addition “no.”
The U.S. Navy Review Board responds in writing to LHO complaint about his
dishonorable discharge. O&CIA
August 7, 1962
W.H. Ferry, Vice President of the Fund for the Republic, set up
by the Ford Foundation to promote civil liberties, lambastes J. Edgar Hoover’s scare-mongering
about Communism as “sententious poppycock.” Robert Kennedy, several hours later, shocks all
those who know him by saying: “I hope Hoover will continue to serve the country for many, many
years to come.” It is speculated this is a “thank you” to Hoover and the FBI for their assistance in
helping to cover up Marilyn Monroe’s relationship with the two Kennedy brothers.
August 10, 1962
After a meeting of the Special Group, General Lansdale asks
CIA agent William K. Harvey in a memo to submit plans for “liquidation of foreign leaders;”
Harvey responds angrily, pointing out “the inadmissibility and stupidity of putting this type of
comment into writing.”
With only Washington’s intelligence insiders aware of a brewing Cuban missile crisis,
Maurice Bishop directs Alpha 66 leader Antonio Veciana to launch a commando attack on a
British ship and two Cuban cargo vessels off the north coast of Cuba.
Four days later, the
Associated Press reports from San Juan, Puerto Rico, that Veciana declares that Alpha 66 will
make five more raids into Cuba in the next sixty days. He claims a war chest of $100,00.00.

August 14 1962 FBI Agent Fain calls Robert Oswald to find out where his
brother, LHO, is working. O&CIA
August 16, 1962 FBI (Dallas) again interviews Lee Harvey Oswald, this time
approaching him as he gets off work. Oswald agrees to report any suspicious Soviet contacts.
The case officer, Agent John Fain, concludes that he poses no threat and closes his file. Oswald,
assisted by at least one other person who is a hired helper, again passes out Fair Play for Cuba
literature today, this time in front of the International Trade Mart. This evening, television
newscasts run pictures of Oswald’s activities. William Stuckey, a radio broadcaster with a
program called Latin Listening Post, has long been looking for a member of the Fair Play for Cuba
Committee to appear on his radio program.
He learns of Oswald from Carlos Bringuier and
arranges for a debate between Oswald and Bringuier on a 25-minute daily public affairs program
called Conversation Carte Blanche.
August 20, 1962 An FBI-listening device picks up a conversation between three
well-known Mafia figures that make reference to Robert Kennedy’s affair with Marilyn Monroe:
“They will go for every name -- unless the brother -- it’s big enough to cause a scandal against them.
Would you like to see a headline about Marilyn Monroe to come out? And him? How would he like it?
Don’t you know? . . . He has been in there plenty of times. It’s been a hard affair -- and this deleted
name of a friend of Marilyn’s] said she used to be in all the time with him -- do you think it’s a secret?”
August 21, 1962 Lee Harvey Oswald and Carlos Bringuier appear together on
William Stuckey’s radio show called Conversation Carte Blanche.
August 22, 1962 French Press reports assassination attempt on French President
de Gaulle. Attack occurred at 8:10 PM about 300 yards from the village of Petit-Clamart on the
route between Paris and Villacoublay. De Gaulle and his wife were riding in a car.
August 23, 1962 John McCone succeeds in winning JFK’s approval to develop
options “to deliberately seek to provoke a full-scale revolt against Castro that might require U.S.
intervention to succeed.” Such a plan would provide for “the instantaneous commitment of
sufficient [US] armed forces to occupy the country [Cuba], destroy the regime, free the people,
and establish in Cuba a peaceful country ...” The Color Of Truth
August 24, 1962 AMSPELL today creates an international incident by firing on a
beach front hotel in Miramar, Cuba, where Fidel Castro is thought to be present. Castro accuses
the U.S. of complicity in an attempt on his life. DRE funding is forthcoming from former
ambassador William Pawley, now a power in the CIA’s JM/WAVE station in Miami, and his
friend Clare Boothe Luce.
August 26, 1962 The FBI officially closes its file on the Lee Harvey Oswald
security case on this date.
August 29, 1962 At a news conference today, JFK is stunned to learn that
unnamed State Department officials have leaked information to reporters about Soviet troops
and missiles in Cuba. JFK denies having any such information.
Rolando Cubela today leaves Prague by air for Havana, Cuba.
August 30, 1962 An American U-2 soars for nine minutes across the southern tip
of Soviet-held Sakhalin Island, a key American intelligence target. The Pentagon tells Dean Rusk
that the plane has blown off course.
At this point in time, Khrushchev is in the process of secretly sending missiles to Cuba.
Soviet ships are heading towards the island bearing thousands of combat troops, along with the
concealed first elements of the missile force intended for the island. The CIA warns the White
House that “clearly something new and different is taking place.”
CIA director, John McCone marries a Seattle widow, Theiline Pigott late this month and
sails for a honeymoon in the south of France. Every few days, he cables Langley demanding
more probing assessment of the possibility that the new SAM buildup on Cuba foretells nuclear
missiles from Khrushchev. “Why would they be putting all these SAM sites around the island
unless they were putting something in there to worry us?”
August 31, 1962 Republican Senator Kenneth Keating of New York begins a
series of twenty-five attacks on the administration’s Cuban policy. His sources of information are
unidentified. The Kennedys suspect McCone.
Late August -- 1962 Oswald’s FBI file is placed on inactive status this month and will
remain so until October, when it is OFFICIALLY CLOSED. Agent John Fain and “officials at FBI
headquarters” are satisfied that LHO is not a security risk.
September -- 1962 During a meeting between Jose Aleman and Santos Trafficante
sometime this month, Trafficante says: “. . . this man Kennedy is in trouble, and he will get what is
coming to him.” Aleman argues that JFK will get reelected and Trafficante replies: “ No, Jose, he is
going to be hit.” Aleman is an FBI informant and this information is passed directly to J. Edgar
Hoover. Aleman does not believe that Trafficante is personally involved. Aleman is given the
distinct impression that Jimmy Hoffa is to be principally involved in the elimination of JFK.
Aleman personally repeats all of this information to FBI agents George Davis and Paul Scranton
in Miami. (Dramatically different from previous death threats, this one speaks of a specific contract to assassinate the
President. The report of this threat is stored either in Hoover’s Personal-Confidential files or the
Special File room, and is withheld from the Secret Service.)
September 2, 1962 The Soviets publicly acknowledge for the first time that they are
sending “armaments” and technical advisers to Cuba.
September 3, 1962 US soldiers from the Guantanamo Naval Base shoot at Cuban
positions. Three US senators ask the United States to sponsor a military organization among the
American nations, similar to NATO, in order to deal with the problem of Cuba.
September 4, 1962 JFK pledges to use any step to bar Cuban aggression in the West.
RFK today tells Dobrynin that JFK is “deeply concerned” about the amount of military
equipment going to Cuba.
September 5, 1962 Historian Michael Beschloss reveals that a memo dated this
date, from Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. (JFK’s aide) to the President concerns “plans for an uprising
inside Cuba in the next few weeks” which warns that “we would find ourselves in a difficult war in
which . . . the majority of Cubans . . . and the nations of the world would be against us.” Schlesinger
opposes “encouraging the Cubans into rash action.” JFK writes back that he knows “of no planned
“uprising” . . “Would you send me the intelligence reports . . . I will discuss the matter with the CIA.”
David Ferrie calls Dallas today to a number listed under A.M. Belcher Oil and Mae
Belcher on Averill Way.

September 11, 1962
Edward Becker, a Las Vegas promoter and corporate
“investigator” attends a meeting at Churchill Farms, Carlos Marcello’s private 6,400 acre swamp
land estate just outside New Orleans. [Marcello is the leader of the Mafia in New Orleans.]
Present at this meeting are Carlo Roppolo, a close personal friend from Shreveport, Louisiana,
Edward Becker, and Jack Liberto, a hulking bodyguard who is also Carlos’ personal barber.
The men are drinking scotch and eating antipasto in the farmhouse kitchen when Becker mentions
reading something in the papers about RFK’s plans to deport Marcello.
According to Becker,
Marcello’s mood instantly changes. He utters a Sicilian curse referring to JFK: “Livarsi si na
petra di la scarpa.” (Take the stone out of my shoe.)
It has been stated that, from this point on, JFK’s
assassination became for Carlos Marcello an affair of honor -- a Sicilian vendetta.
“Don’t worry about that
little Bobby son of a bitch,” Marcello bellows. “He’s going to be taken care of!” Becker states that
Marcello also makes some kind of reference to the way in which he allegedly wants to arrange
JFK’s murder.
Marcello “clearly indicated” that his own lieutenants must not be identified as the
assassins, and that there will thus be a necessity to have them use or manipulate someone else to
carry out the actual crime.
He says he has already thought of a way to set up a “nut” to take all
the heat “the way they do in Sicily.” Becker has the distinct feeling that Carlos has already
discussed his plans with someone else.
This information is sugsequently communicated to J.
Edgar Hoover. Hoover finds JFK’s immorality very offensive, having dwelled on the fact that
JFK has repeatedly committed adultery.
Hoover decides to withold the Becker information.
Some will suggest that Hoover withholds Mafia death threats from the Secret Service because
they have been the product of illegal electronic surveillance.
At this point, author Mark North
suggests that Hoover becomes guilty of: “ treason, seditious conspiracy, advocating overthrow of
the government, and conspiracy to impede or injure officer.” By withholding information,
Hoover ... in effect ... allows the assassination of JFK to happen.
Also on this date, the Soviet government states that it has no need to locate its most
powerful missiles in other countries, specifically mentioning Cuba.
According to the Russians,
the “armaments and military equipment sent to Cuba are designed exclusively for defensive purposes”
and are unable to threaten the United States. It is a lie.
On this date, the CIA’s William Harvey meets in Miami with John Roselli. The subject
of this meeting is the assassination of Fidel Castro

The Pentagon issues secret orders for an air strike option of

Admiral Robert Lee Dennison, commander in chief of the Atlantic Fleet, is ordered by
Robert McNamara “to be prepared to institute a blockade of Cuba.” This evening Admiral
Dennison orders his fleet commanders to “take all feasible measures necessary to assure
maximum readiness to execute CINCLANT OPLAN 312 [and airstrike] by October 20.”
Simultaneously, U.S. Army commanders are informed of the “imminence of a possible
implementation of CINCLANT OPLAN 316-62,” a full-scale invasion of Cuba. NOTE: this is two
weeks BEFORE Soviet missile sites in Cuba are “discovered.” Admiral Dennison takes steps to mask
all of these preparations with the public announcement of a “large-scale amphibious assault
exercise [to provide] a cover for our Caribbean preparations.” Reporters are told that the reputed
target of this amphibious exercise - scheduled to begin on October 15 - is code-named Ortsac:

October 9, 1962
David Ferrie calls a number at the Republic National Bank Bldg. in Dallas listed to John O’Connor (as well as Dresser Industries). J. Edgar Hoover is in Las Vegas, Nevada, to address the American Legion nationalconvention.
Lee Harvey Oswald abruptly quits his job at the welding company. He gives no notice and even fails to remain on the premises long enough to collect his final paycheck. He has it mailed to him later.
He also rents a P.O. box in Dallas. It is to this P.O. box that the rifle will be mailed. Oswald will use a post-office box wherever he goes from now on.
October 10, 1962
Oswald presents himself at the office of the Texas Employment Commission where he is interviewed by Louise Latham, on of the placement officers. JFK tells the press that “one of his Administration’s most effective though least known efforts is its drive against organized crime.” JFK goes on to say that from January through June of this year there were 83 convictions.
October 11, 1962
Based on placement by the Texas Employment Commission, Lee Harvey Oswald reports for work at Jaggars-Chiles-Stovall. JCS will be directly involved in support work by producing typeface for the U-2 surveillance photographs and maps of Cuba.
The company is in the midst of doing classified work for the Army Map Service, and in performing these sensitive duties it is setting type for Cuban place names. There is no physical barrier preventing any employee from having the full run of the “restricted” area where the
classified work is supposed to be done.
Although this job has been officially found by the Texas Employment Commission,George de Mohrenschildt’s wife and daughter both say deMohrenschildt organized it.
NOTE:From October 8 until November 3, 1962, when he moves with Marina into an apartment in Oak Cliff, across the Trinity River from where he will work in the downtown section of Dallas, there is no known record of where Oswald is living or what he is doing after work for most of this period.
After work each day, he disappears and is not seen again until the next morning.

The CIA confirms the presence of Soviet missiles in Cuba: a U-2 spy plane photographs the San Cristobal base in Pinar del Rio, where some R-12’s arelocated. (Military intelligence has received information and has already made its own investigation a month earlier. They have already informed the CIA. In mid-September, they received the first information concerning the MRBM’s and IRBM’s, and have come to the conclusion that the MRBM’s are in the San Cristobal area.) McGeorge Bundy is today questioned on ABC’s Issues & Answers about the buildup in Cuba.
He says there is “no present evidence” nor is there any likelihood that the Soviets and Cubans would try to install a “major offensive capability. ”The CIA informs JFK that there are no nuclear warheads in Cuba at this time. The agency qualifies this statement by adding they “could not be absolutely certain.”There are actually 162 nuclear warheads in Cuba at the time of the missile crisis, of which about forty are to be mounted on intermediate-range ballistic missiles targeted to the U.S.; the balance of the missiles are assigned to tactical nuclear weapons.
These missiles are stored 100 or so kilometers away from the missile sites, and during the crisis a Russian military officer requests to move these nuclear warheads closer to the missiles; the request is approved by Khrushchev, but no nuclear warheads are ever mounted on the missiles.
October 15, 1962
McGeorge Bundy is hosting a dinner party as his home tonight when he receives a phone call from Ray Cline. The deputy director of intelligence at the CIA cryptically informs Bundy, “Those things we’ve been worrying about in Cuba are there. ” Bundy asks, “Are you sure?” Cline assures him that he is. Just yesterday, Bundy issued a firm denial of the allegation that there are medium-range missile sites in Cuba.

Secret Service protection is extended to the Vice President under a bill signed today by JFK.The first U-2 photographs showing the Russian launch pads in Cuba and even one nuclear missile, are shown to JFK early this morning.
The Cuban Missile Crisis officially begins. However, in giving the CIA new life, immense funding, and incredible power and influence to conduct effective large-scale secret operations regarding Cuba, JFK has created a force over which he can not maintain complete control.
Elements of the CIA’s Cuban efforts begin to actively sabotage the U.S. government’s efforts to endthe Cuban Missile Crisispeacefully. These incidents involve a series of major raids by anti-Castro groups which take place -- in defiance of U.S. Government policy -- between the time of the Missile Crisis and the
assassination of JFK.
One of the largest and most militant of the Cuban groups, Alpha 66, launches a quick strike at a major port in Cuba, killing at least twenty defenders, including some Russians. Later, the same group will sink a Cuban patrol boat. JFK calls RFK early this morning and says: “We have some big trouble. I want you over here.” Once RFK arrives at the White House, JFK informs him about the Russian missiles in Cuba. (RK:HL)RFK storms into McGeorge Bundy’s office and demands to see the photographicevidence of missiles in Cuba.
