Kennedy says United States to consult Latin leaders on Cuba crisis
President Kennedy told reporters the United States is consulting with Latin American nations over the Cuba situation. He declined further discussion, emphasizing that he is the responsible officer of the U.S. government. He urged focus on defeating Communist subversion and noted ongoing talk of test ban talks with Russia despite calls for a veto over enforcement. He also said he will review an Army inquiry into Maj. Gen. Edwin Walker’s distribution of Rich Society material among troops in Europe. The Walker case led to his relief from command of the 24th Infantry Division. Kennedy forecast a tough fight to pass tax proposals and noted the mid April economic review is underway.
