Kennedy's brother, Robert F. Kennedy, served as Attorney General and spearheaded a vigorous campaign through the Department of Justice to dismantle organized crime. The Mafia, which had longstanding connections to Jewish figures—such as Maier Suchowljansky, known as the "Mob's Accountant," who played a key role in running the National Crime Syndicate alongside Charles "Lucky" Luciano—became a central focus of this effort. This crackdown on organized crime was part of a broader initiative by the Kennedy administration to tackle corruption and disrupt criminal networks that had deeply infiltrated and influenced American society and institutions such as the FBI and the CIA for decades.

On October 23, 1963, Robert F. Kennedy, then serving as Attorney General, ordered a letter (Pic Related) to be sent to the American Zionist Council (AZC) headquarters, demanding that the organization register as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). This move was part of the Kennedy administration's broader efforts to increase transparency and curb foreign influence in U.S. politics. Just six weeks later, the AZC was dissolved, and all its functions and activities were absorbed into the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
