Memorandum for the Secretary of State from the Attorney General, describing his October 27 meeting with Ambassador Dobrynin, October 30, 1962:
This memo is Robert Kennedy's account of the historic encounter. The sentence on page 3 that has a line drawn through it relates to the removal of the missiles in Turkey. There is no evidence to tell us by whom or for what purpose it was crossed out. But it may well reflect the administration's concern for secrecy on this question. Robert Kennedy was instructed to warn Dobrynin that any disclosure of the secret agreement would render it null and void. |
