President Kennedy’s concerns over the Radio Right grew throughout his term in office. At the time, the administration worried about the prospect of a right-wing military coup led by someone like recently cashiered Army General Edwin Walker, especially after he headlined a campaign-style national tour called Operation Midnight Ride with conservative broadcaster Billy James Hargis. The final straw was the wave of conservative attacks on the president’s proposed Nuclear Test Ban Treaty with the Soviet Union in the summer of 1963. Kennedy responded to the rise of the Radio Right by commissioning a strategy document from labor union leaders Walter and Victor Reuther. This “Reuther Memorandum,” as it became known, called for targeting conservative broadcasters with extra regulatory scrutiny by the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Communications Commission.
肯尼迪总统对广播权利的关注在他的任期内不断增长。当时，政府担心右翼军事政变可能由最近被解职的陆军将军埃德温·沃克(Edwin Walker)这样的人领导，尤其是在他与保守派播音员比利·詹姆斯·哈吉斯(Billy James Hargis)一起举行了一场名为“午夜骑行行动”(Operation Midnight Ride)的竞选式全国巡回演出之后。最后一根稻草是1963年夏天，保守派对总统提议的美苏禁止核试验条约(Nuclear Test Ban Treaty)的猛烈抨击。为了应对广播右派的崛起，肯尼迪委托工会领袖沃尔特·鲁瑟和维克多·鲁瑟撰写了一份战略文件。这份后来被称为“鲁瑟备忘录”(Reuther Memorandum)的文件，要求美国国税局(Internal Revenue Service)和联邦通信委员会(Federal Communications Commission)对保守派广播公司进行额外的监管审查。
