Cuban Missile Crisis Response Group

Aerial Photograph of Cuba

Assignment 1 You are a presidential advisor to Kennedy. You must decide whether the president should be concerned about Soviet missiles and launch pads in Cuba. What do you advise the president to do? Kennedy has asked you to brainstorm 3 possible U.S. responses to the Soviet missile threat in Cuba. What will you include on your list? What do you think is the best response? Include 3 pieces of evidence (you must use the photograph as one piece of evidence).

Assignment 2 You are a member of the Executive Committee known as ExCom, a group of Kennedy’s closest advisors gathered to help him work through this crisis. The president has asked you to assess these five possible responses. How would you prioritize these possible responses? (What do you believe are the best and worst options?) What are the positive and negative aspects of each?

Assignment 3 You are a member of ExCom. Respond to the four situations the president might face, keeping in mind his goals for the crisis as outlined in Top Secret Briefing C. Then offer your recommendation for what the president should do now.
