October 16, 1962
6:30-7:55 P.M.
JFK:
Find anything new?
Carter:
Nothing on the additional film, sir. We have a much better read-
out on what we had initially. There's good evidence of their
back-up missiles for each of the four launchers at each of the
three sites, so that there would be twice the number for a total
of eight which could eventually be erected. This would mean a
capability of from sixteen or possibly twenty-four missiles. We
feel, on the basis of information that we presently have, that
these are solid propellent, inertial guidance missiles with
eleven-hundred-mile range rather than the oxygen propellant, uh,
radar-controlled. Primarily because we have no indication of any
radar or any indication of any oxygen equipment. And it would
appear to be logical from an intelligence estimate viewpoint that
if they are going to this much trouble that they would go ahead
and put in the eleven hundred miles because of the tremendously
increased threat coverage. Let me see that map.

Carter:

capability.
JFK:

but the ranges there are the nominal ranges of the missiles rathe
than the maximum.

That's a ten hundred and twenty circle, as against eleven hundred
JFK:
Well, I was just wondering, uh, whether, uh, San Diego do los
Banos is where these missiles are?
Carter:
Uh, yes, sir. Well, the
JFK:
Well, I wonder how many of these have been printed out.
Bundy:
Yeah, well, the circle is drawn in red ink on the map, Mr.
President.
Carter:
The circle is
JFK:
Oh, I see. It was never printed?
Carter:
No, that's on top.
