Kenneth on Jimmy Lay

Kennedy, John F. (John Fitzgerald), 1917-1963

Kenneth tells of Jimmy Lay. Lay was the secretary under the National Security Council and had been secretary under Truman, Eisenhower, and Kennedy. Kennedy got fed up with Lay, as Lay was accustomed to taking minutes of the meetings. When Kennedy said he didn't want minutes, yet Lay took them anyway, he became outraged and fired him on the spot.
