Excellent paper, written when they actually knew how to write reports!
Already, in 1961, Schlessinger, Jr. observed how power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts, absolutely, and, even though the CIA was originally envisioned as an important piece, had become too powerful to control.
How many times have we seen this movie, or read this book?
Personally, many.
Now, we have discovered USAID was simply another method of funding for the CIA.
Exactly. I can't think of a single positive thing about the CIA. For them it is OK to murder leaders in other countries (i.e. Vietnam), and then we pay dearly for their sins for the next 10 years. Not only did it destroy Vietnam, it nearly almost destroyed us. Then we have CIA run by one of the most corrupt individuals in history, John Brennan, who tried to upend a duly elected President of the United States. Murder is ok, treason is ok, and assassination of a US President is ok. The organization needs to be abolished.
Is he preparing to implement the conclusion of this section of your referenced portion of the JFK files? Time & Rubio will tell. I can hear the protest chants as if they were live:
Hey, hey - ho, ho! The CIA has got to Go!
From section V., conclusion:
"If the State Department as at present staffed is not capable of assuming effective command, this is not, in my judgement an argument against a rational reorganization of intelligence. It is an argument for the drastic overhaul of the State Department."
I 100% agree with your conclusions, but, the leviathan will not go down easily, and now that it knows it is being targeted and starved, it is exponentially more dangerous and must be utterly and remorselessly annihilated.

Spoiler alert: i think 47 got the memo.

Here’s an excellent discussion on the Dulles brothers and their connections to the Kennedy assassination.
David Talbot wrote The Devil’s Chessboard. Remember that Kennedy fired Dulles after the bay of pigs debacle. Did he get revenge?

Sounds like today's CIA.
