After the embarrassment of the Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba, Kennedy fired many CIA workers. Among them was Allen Dulles, who was the director of the CIA, he went on to serve on the Warren Commission. Dulles may have played a key role in a possible cover up. The CIA was pro Bay of Pigs and afterward there was fear that Kennedy would reduce the involvement of the CIA in affairs with Cuba because the Bay of Pigs was such a failure. The firings built up resentment toward Kennedy with in the CIA although it may not be enough resentment to kill, it is a strong possibility. Also the CIA theory piggy backs on the Umbrella Man theory because,"Throughout the planning of the Bay of Pigs invasion, the CIA promised an 'umbrella' air protection of the invaders. Kennedy refused to authorize this military support. Therefore, the man with the open umbrella symbolized the promise of an air-support 'umbrella'" (Marrs 1).
