Kennedy Reports No Cuban Military Buildup Evidence
President Kennedy said daily aerial scrutiny found no evidence of a massive new Soviet buildup in Cuba. He noted 16,000 to 17,000 Soviets on the island, some barracks, plus one Soviet ship since October that might carry arms, but no offensive weapons. He urged Western unity and pressed a three-year 13.6 billion tax cut with offsets and potential early first-step savings. He also touched on France and national security.
