It was Kennedy. In 1961, 28th day of March, President-elect John F. Kennedy was briefed by the intelligence agencies about the deteriorating situation in South Vietnam. This was the first time that a National Intelligence Estimate expressed doubt about President Diem's ability to deal with the insurgency. Kennedy decided to send 100 additional military advisers to South Vietnam.
