who sabotaged his liberal policies in foreign affairs. After
the assassination, despite claims to the contrary, there was
a thorough going change in our foreign policy with respect to
the third world. Vietnam became crucially important. Already
on December 14, 1963, military juntas in the Domincan Republic
and Honduras were recognized. And during January and February
of 1964 economic and military aid programs were set back in action
This constituted a direct repudiation of Kennedy's policy of
diplomatic, military and economic boycott of the military regimes
in Honduras the the Domincan Republic. Kennedy's program of
boycotting hurt the inti-democratic military leaders. Johnson's
program put them back in business. With Johnson, and the bringing
into office of Thomas Mann, a new doctrine, the Mann doctrine,
meant that the United States would not work against forces of
tyranny, against military camps or the right-wing dictatorships.
The fight for justic, human rights and social and economic :welfare
was buried with J.F.K. This humane approach of President Kennedy
was quickly changed for the policy of military intervention and
support of dictatorship just so long as it wore an anti-communist
label.
In the spring of 1964 we saw the storm of overthrowing the
Gulart government. This was hailed by President Johnson, and
our State Department and played up by our news media as a great
triumph for forces of anti communism. I.F. Stone commented:
"Two symbols of the new Johnsonian orientation
toward military dictatorship in the hemisphere
were confirmed to office by the Senate Feb.
25, in an almost empty chamber, on a voice
vote One was Jack Hood Vaughan to become
head of the Peace Corps. The other was Lincoln
Gordenu to succeed Vaughras Assistant Secretari
