Seems to me you may be missing the key characters related to General Cabell and the purchase of BELL Helicopter by TEXTRON in 1960. According to Prouty, Cabell was consulted about the prospects of a helicopter-war in SE Asia. When the Military was maneuvered into moving helicopters there left an inventory hole that was now allowed to be filled.... the rest is VietNam, billions in profits and the takeover of the Global Heroin business by the US Govt.
The removal of troops from SE Asia would derail a highly unusual financing of the purchase via a 6-year grace period for repayment from the Rockefeller/Morgan owned Prudential Insurance company.
There is also Sun Life of London/Montreal; McCloy/Gilpatrick from: Cravath, Swaine and Moore; Royal Little and associates; 1st Bank of Boston; George William Miller; American Research and Development Corp
Some some food for thought as you look into an Assassination Org Chart.... IMHO you're also missing mention of the Six Wise Men who were so instrumental in shaping US policy. Harriman would be my pick for Sponsor/Facilitator status.
the role of six policymakers: Dean Acheson, [/FONT]Averell Harriman,[/FONT] George Kennan, John McCloy Jr., Charles Bohlen, Robert Lovett in taking postWW II America from isolationism to a recognition that the U.S. "would have to assume the burden of a global role." The irony is that, as elder statesmen, they sometimes warned against the interventionist momentum they had helped create, as this behind-the-scenes account makes clear. The authors' portrayal of the six as the hidden architects behind the Truman Doctrine, the Marshall Plan and Cold War containment will certainly provoke debate. Based on prodigious research, including interviews with four of the six, the tome often sounds like an official biography ("Kennan had tortuously conflicted feelings about being tapped to be part of the American elite") and the prose echoes Time's style (Dean Rusk, "the round-faced Georgian"). History buffs will follow with interest the minor revelations that spill forth as the six advise presidents from F. D. R. to L. B. J. Major ad/promo. [/FONT]
Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP (known as Cravath) is an American law firm based in New York City, with an additional office in London. Cravath was founded in 1819 and consistently ranks first among the world's most prestigious law firms according to a survey of partners, and second among the world's most prestigious law firms according to a survey of associates. It is now one of the most profitable law firms in the world.
"In fact the company was heading for bankruptcy. Yet somehow, the Prudential Life Insurance Company of Newark, a Morgan influenced firm, provided a $25 million unsecured note to Textron, with a six-year grace period on repayments. A most un-insurance company like type of loan.
Textron bought Bell Helicopter in July of 1960, four months before the election. Bell's sales were down an even hundred million in 1959 from nearly double that in 1953. Textron bought the company for what was considered one of the worst deals of the year - $32 million or exactly the company's book value. Yet Rupert C. Thompson, Jr. ; " then Textron Chairman (Miller was President) , boasted, "We knew we had our objective - 25 percent pre-tax profit on our investment - from day one."
With the loan, Textron bought Bell and remarkably, helicopter orders zoomed up 50 percent between 1961 and 1962. Bell's UH-IB and UH-IB Iroquois were heavily ordered for JFK's Vietnam War. With this kick, Textron began another round of acquisitions, now heavily defense or machine-tool oriented. The pace was dizzying. For example in 1965 (January), Textron bought Le Progres Industriel, a Belgian machine tool manufacturer; in February, it bought Old King Cole to supplement the plastics line of Fanner Industries division; in July, it acquired the South Coast Marine Co.; in September, it obtained substantial interest in the American Screw Company of Chile (nationalized by Chilean Govt. in 1972) ; in October, it acquired the Patterson-Sargent paint business. In 1966 Textron was even more active, buying, selling or rearranging ten companies"
