ORDER
Cuban President Fidel Castro was convinced that the United States was going to attack Cuba. On October 26, 1962, he wrote a letter to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev. The discussion produced three distinct choices for U.S. action, ranging from the purely diplomatic to a full-scale military assault. Each of the three had supporters within ExComm and President Kennedy weighed each carefully. On October 20, President Kennedy decided on a blockade of Cuba by the U.S. Navy to prevent further shipments of military supplies to the island. The president decided to use the word “quarantine” instead of the word “blockade” because international law considered a blockade to be an act of war. This option allowed the president to steer a middle course among ExComm’s varied options.
