If Lemnitzer had closer ties to the CIA then first thought we have another Joannides type situation because in 1975 then president Gerald Ford selected Lemnitzer to take part in a special panel to look into the CIA's possible activites on US soil.

7/20/1961 At a National Security Council Meeting, the Joint Chiefs of Staff's Gen. Lemnitzer and CIA director Allen Dulles present a plan for a preemptive nuclear attack on the Soviet Union "in late 1963, preceded by a period of heightened tensions." President Kennedy walks out of the meeting, saying to Secretary of State Dean Rusk, "And we call ourselves the human race." (Brothers, Talbot)
Remember that Operation Northwoods came out of Lemnitzer's Pentagon, but the proposed plans also involved the CIA.
