Johnson Calls Meeting Today On Cuba Water Cutoff
President Johnson convened top military and diplomatic advisers at the White House to weigh Cuba’s action cutting water to Guantanamo Bay and possible retaliation. Officials said the 9 a.m. session followed a two hour strategy talk at the State Department with Rusk McNamara Ball Mann McCone and Taylor. Johnson pledged water to the base indefinitely and assured troops and families would be supplied. Castro had announced a one hour daily flow while U.S. authorities maintained the fishermen incident and international waters claim. The analysis centered on expanding U.S. response and the broader anti-American climate in the region.

Guantanamo Begins Water Rationing Over Fishermen Dispute
The Guantanamo Bay base cut its water supply after Fidel Castro ordered a shutdown of a pipeline outside the base, rationing to one hour daily to force release of 36 Cuban fishermen and four boats held in Key West. Navy limits extend reserves to 25 days while tankers and desalination help. Castro insists the measure will continue until fishermen are freed.
