President John F. Kennedv's se-
cretly recorded tapes apparently
have been used on only one occasion,
by Robert F. Kennedy in tha prep-
aration of his book on the .1962
Cuban missile crisis, according to the
director.of the Kennedy Library.
"Thirteen Days," published in
1968, contains. detailed, verbatim
quotations from the sensitive missile .
crisis meetings. Library officials in-
dicated these quotations may be the
only chance the public will have in
the next few months to look at ma-
terial from the 600 conversations
recorded during John Kennedy's last
16 months in office.
The men who were recorded by
President Kennedy, including his
closest advisers and confidants, said
yesterday they had not known at the
time that Kennedy was taping con-
versations with them. Many of them
generally defended the practice, with
some chagrin and reluctance, as
being helpful for the preparation of
presidential history.
