Brief Discussion with the President - 9:30 a.m. - 17 October 1962
Confirmed the situation and explored possible actions. McCone
referred to but did not recommend warnings as outlined in paragraph 7.
(This paragraph was not discussed in the earlier meeting in Ball's
office).
President seemed inclined to act promptly if at all, without
warning, targetting on MRBM's and possibly airfields. Stated
Congressional Resolution gave him all authority he needed and this
was confirmed by Bundy, and therefore seemed inclined to act.
President asked McCone to see Eisenhower promptly.
