1. The attachment is a kind of outline or checklist for the prepara-
tion of a presentation on "The Role of Intelligence in the Cuban Missile
Crisis" at London on 19 September. As I see it2 the focus of the
presentation will be primarily on how intelligence went about serving
the decision maker during the crisis period/ and not on the substantive
issues exRepted as they serve to illustrate the actions taken by the
intelligence community. For this reason it appears to me that there
is not a great deal of relevant written material and that it will be
necessary to gather the information needed by talking with yourself
and others in your office who had a part in the events.
2. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further
with you when you have the time.
