No Invasion Pledge On Cuba Now Struck Down
Secretary of State Dean Rusk told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee there is no longer any U S no invasion pledge on Cuba. The Kennedy offer depended on on site inspection to verify removal of Soviet missiles and bombers which negotiations failed to secure. Rusk said the commitment no longer exists and noted the Congo situation remains fluid as he answered questions on the Cuban crisis.

Risk Loss of Aid Warns Cuba Shipping
The United States served notice to nations whose ships go to Cuba that they risk losing American aid under the new foreign aid law. State Department officials said the aim is to persuade violator nations to divert vessels from Cuban ports rather than impose the loss of aid. Some non Communist nations and several with large fleets, including Britain and Greece, were mentioned as examples while others like Panama and Italy already restrict Cuban calls. The measure is separate from broader shipping regulations Kennedy plans to issue to isolate Fidel Castro.
