EX-COM
• At your request, we formed a committee to figure out the best way to respond to this new threat from the Soviet Union and their Cuban allies—the Ex-Com.
• After deliberating, the Ex-Com has come up with a variety of options…which will you choose?

OPTIONS:
• Do nothing• Give the Soviets and Cubans 24 hrs. to remove missiles.
If they do not begin missile removal in that time, launch an air strike to take missiles out
• Open diplomatic discussion with Castro and Khrushchev and negotiate the removal of the missiles
• Launch a surprise air strike to take out all of the missile installations
• Quarantine Cuba – do not allow anything in or out without U.S. approval until the missile sites are removed
• Other ideas?
