  8. 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?

  9. 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?
