BBC R4 - Anthony Howard's 'Kennedy's Secret Tapes'
Presented by Anthony Howard
Produced by Mark Savage
Broadcast October 16, 2002
Coded from tape at 128/44.1

As the Cuban Missile Crisis developed, JFK assembled a group called
the 'Executive Committee of the National Security Council' (ExComm)
to discuss & advise how best to proceed.

ExComm consisted the National Security Council's main players, &
Robert Kennedy, Theodore Sorensen, C Douglas Dillon, Dean Acheson,
Robert Lovett, and Llewellyn (Tommy) Thompson.

JFK secretly recorded ExComm's discussions.

When these tapes were declassified the BBC's original intention was
to use them as was (one series drew extensively on them), but they
were hard to hear. And so they were transcribed & used to recreate
conversations & discussions as they happened.

This drama-documentary was the result. Amongst other things it
shows just how near run a thing it was, and what a sound politician
JFK was. A lesser man could easily have set the world aflame.
