Summary Record of NSC Executive Committee Meeting No. 9
October 27, 1962, 9:00 PM
Secretary McNamara recommended, and the President approved, the call up
of twenty-four air reserve squadrons, involving 14, 000 personnel and 300 troop
carriers. The call up of the air reserve squadrons is necessary to the
invasion plan and will also serve to keep the pressure on the Russians. He
said mobilization of private U.S. shipping should be initiated tomorrow in
order to have sufficient ships available for an invasion.
The President said that if our reconnaissance planes are fired on tomorrow,
and if we know the results of U Thant's talks with the Russians, then we
should take out the SAM sites in Cuba by air action.
With respect to the Soviet tanker Graznny approaching the quarantine zone,
the Attorney General recommended that we take no action against it.
The President agreed that if the tanker crosses the barrier, we should let
it through, but thereafter no Bloc ships would be allowed to cross into the
zone.
The President directed that Ambassador Stevenson in New York be asked to
tell U Thant of the location of the Soviet tanker and ask him to remind the
Russians of their statement that their ships would not enter Cuban waters. A
decision on whether to intercept the tanker could be taken tomorrow.
Secretary Rusk agreed, adding that the actions we had taken already had
created sufficient pressure on the Russians for today.
The President said that tomorrow we could consider increasing the pressure
by adding POL to the list of prohibited goods and by publicly announcing the
mobilization of U.S. shipping.
The President read aloud the message from General Norstad concerning the
tactics to be followed in a meeting of the North Atlantic Council. The message
included a list of questions to be answered and ended with a recommendation
to reject Khrushchev's offer to trade European missiles for U.S. missiles in
Turkey.
There followed consideration of a draft cable to Ambassador Finletter in
Paris instructing him as to how the NATO meeting should be handled. (A
copy of this message is attached.)
