Summary

Key topics include CIA and DIA assessments of Soviet missile sites, planning for U-2 reconnaissance flights, analysis of Soviet troop movements, and discussions among high-level officials such as President John F. Kennedy, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, and Director of Central Intelligence Allen Dulles.
