Removal Left To Russians
Washington says the United States holds the Soviet Union responsible for a Cuba bomber withdrawal. Castro offers to surrender outdated jet bombers if Moscow sees fit. Kennedy will address the nation as negotiations hinge on Soviet response and plane removal.
Castro offers to withdraw about 30 Soviet bombers from Cuba
Fidel Castro told the United Nations he is prepared to give up roughly 30 Soviet bombers in Cuba. The offer was to be discussed by Soviet and U S negotiators, with U Thant inviting top officials for a luncheon to frame talks on the Cuban crisis. Castro framed the move as aiding negotiations, noting Soviet missiles would remain a major issue while he criticized the bombers as antiquated and Soviet property brought to Cuba for defense.
