Perhaps I'm missing something, but I'm not sure what that has to do with what I wrote? The contents of the private letters between Khrushchev and Kennedy weren't supposed to be made public either but they were probably THE most influential documents in Kennedy history.

We're not saying anything different there. The fact the changed entry was used as a bridge for LBJ's policy doesn't change anything I said. Like many other pieces of evidence in this case, the changed entry (possibly) served a double purpose.
What I'm trying to say here is Kennedy's secret letters to Khrushchev may have been used to show a secret traitorous relationship between JFK and Khrushchev. We already know CIA deliberately misrepresented things in other places in this case. So they could easily have done that with the private letters as well.
In this context they then set-up alleged KGB insider status in Oswald by showing he had internal KGB intelligence connections through his pre-knowledge that Cuban Consulate employee Azcue would be transferred. The reason CIA included Oswald's pre-knowledge of Azcue's transfer in the letter to the Soviet embassy was to try to establish this deep status in Oswald.
What I'm trying to express here is that CIA was trying to create the image that ongoing-traitor Kennedy had betrayed his secret cooperation with Khrushchev by reversing his Viet Nam policy in NSAM 273. And that the timing of the assassination was supposed to look like the KGB's response to Kennedy's betrayal. In other words as soon as KGB detected Kennedy had reversed on Viet Nam they sent their creepy little commie traitor and double agent Lee Harvey Oswald, whose KGB assassination contact was Kostikov, in to kill the man who had betrayed them.
The CIA deliberately planted the change in NSAM 273 24 hours before they were to kill Kennedy because they knew he would be busy with a whirlwind tour and not be able to see the scheme that was happening in time to affect it. This government document alteration was done with such timing that it would be used, at a covert level, to say it actually caused the assassination. The Oswald revenging for a betrayed KGB and Khrushchev scenario would then be available if somehow the cover-up failed and a last layer fabricated hang-out was needed. Or it was a straight plan like many of the other crazy set-ups we see happening all around.
