It was proposed that addlti assuming Mikoyan was unable or unwilling to make Castro live up lo Khrushchev's pledge for on-the-spot verification of the dis. mantlinj and loading of nuclear weapons.

Late last week il seemed certain that this part of the job also would go to the In-ternational Red Cross. Some Washington authorities now think ttcrent procedure might ba used, if ihe big missiles were loaded on deck the number could be determined presumably by direct observation in the 3. The big problem is how to make certain that no weapons are secretly left in Cuba. Nucleat weapons hidden in Cuba, even a very few, would pose a grave ihreat to U. S.

security. Thuj Kennedy and his advisers are represented as determined that some reassurance must be obtained about withdrawal of aL" weapons of an offensive nature, this also is problem of public confidence; Kennedy needs assur-ances of such a nalure that ha can tell Ihe country emphatically Cuba no longer poses an threat of nuclear war.
