Kennedy says 9 000 Soviets withdrawn from Cuba since November
President Kennedy says about 9 000 Soviet troops and technical experts have left Cuba since November with roughly 4 000 in the last six weeks. He estimates 12 000 to 13 000 still remain and warns against raids on Cuban ports by anti Castro exiles, urging deterrence and possible enlistment of Bay of Pigs survivors in the U S Army. He also rejects Eisenhower's budget cuts and defends space program progress while noting Congress battles and policy pauses. He remarks on Kremlin leadership dynamics and clarifies not to rely on detailed head counts for Cuban troop levels.
