ExComm It is 1962 and nuclear missiles have just been discovered in Cuba, the small island country about

230 miles south of Florida. This poses a grave threat to safety and well being of the United States population. Your group of 3 is part of ExComm, the committee in charge of coming up with possible solutions to help the president, John F. Kennedy. Your task is to come up with 3 to 4 possible solutions to solve this impending crisis and eliminate the threat that these missiles in Cuba pose upon the American people.

President of the United States of America You are now the president of the United States of America. It is your task to come up with a course of action to remove the threat these missiles pose upon your country and the American people. Now that you have met with your committee it is your task to come up with ONE course of action to solve this crisis. In 2 paragraphs come up with one course of action and explain why you chose it. You are also required to explain why you DID NOT choose a different course of action. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper! Remember you are the President of the United States who wants, not only to handle the situation, but to get re-elected as well. Remember in the US we have freedom of speech and free press. The press will ask you, and you will have to defend, why you chose this course of action as well as why you DID NOT chose another route. You will have to defend your reasonings.
