Question description

The Cuban Missile Crisis
lasted for a relatively short period of time but had the highest possible
stakes. The United States
was on the brink of a nuclear war very close to home. President Kennedy would
call on a number of close advisers to help guide him through this crisis.
Imagine that you are an adviser
to President Kennedy. You will need to check various resources to prepare a
brief for the President to guide him through decisions he must make about the
crisis. Visit each site in the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum,
as directed below, and respond to each statement or question to help you
prepare your brief.
· 
 “The World on the Brink: John F. Kennedy and
the Cuban Missile Crisis.” Write a clear statement summarizing the situation
Kennedy faced.
· 
“Theodore C.
Sorensen’s memorandum, October 18, 1962.” List the possible courses of action,
including some advantages and disadvantages of each.
· 
“Letter to Nikita
Khrushchev from Fidel Castro.” Describe the Cuban position.
· 
Read or listen to
President Kennedy’s speech to the nation at the John F. Kennedy Presidential
Library and Museum,“Address to the
Nation on the Soviet Arms Buildup in Cuba.” Write a list of other
actions he ultimately included.

Now, review your notes and write your brief for the president. Your brief
should be three to four paragraphs and should provide a complete explanation of
the problem and the possible solutions available to the President.
1.  How should President Kennedy respond to the
Soviet Arms Buildup in Cuba?
