  We're very fortunate peaceful resolution brought about. I commend @JFK_1962 for staying cool with all those trigger-happy hawks around... ∞

  @ 1:04pm press briefing @DeanRusk62 said not to gloat, still issue of inspecting missile removal and IL-28's. Think this is correct approach ∞

  Dean Rusk 01:04 PM October 28, 2009
  Meeting with the press. I need stress to them the need to not upset the Kremlin or he might change his mind. ∞

  John F Kennedy 01:04 PM October 28, 2009
  @DeanRusk62 is still very cautious about letting the Kremlin play the situation. we want them to get their missiles and get out of Cuba ASAP ∞

  @FidelCastro62 is still spouting off about something or another. He's lost his only tool of leverage and can yell all he wants! ∞

  Cuban Soviet relations will never be the same again. What trust Cuba once had for the USSR and me for Krushchev has now disintegrated. ∞

  Was present @ 9:30am JCS meeting, said that the US is now in a much stronger position than USSR. Nut-job @GenCurtisLemay still wants attack! ∞
