This situation has the potential to turn violent but we can't let that happen. I am working with President Kennedy on defusing the crisis, and we must find every possible alternative to all out war that could mean destruction for the United States and other nations of the world. The United States is in a defensive role and will not attack thoughtlessly, however, we will not be so passive that the Communists run the show. I believe we will find a way towards peace, but are prepared for the worst.
Robert McNamara
