The signal to let them go and the means to get them there were given by the Kennedy administration. The United States still has a responsibility for those lives. Now. former President Eisenhower. on January 24. 1963. says no plan was drawn up during his administration for a U.S. air cover for a refugee invasion of Cuba. He added however that he had "no kick with the plan" for air cover for the invaders. "If that had been done." he added. "that might have made the difference. because once these forces were ashore. ready to take care of themselves. it might have been easy to get more reinforcements through from the island itself and. finally. to recognize a government there." Is it any wonder that Members of Congress. the public. and the press would like a truly official report of what happened? The Congress. you will remember. took some pretty strong actions itself in passing resolutions and legislation aimed at solving the Cuban crisis.
