"Operation Mongoose":
After the failed Bay of Pigs invasion, the CIA's covert action plans for Cuba would be reviewed by a committee of the National Security Council, known as the Special Group Augmented (SGA). Under the guidance of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, the President's brother, the SGA directed "Operation Mongoose," which grew to have an annual budget of $50 million and a corps of some 400 agents engaged in a variety of covert operations, including attempts on the life of Fidel Castro. |
