Historical date: October 23, 1962
The Organization of American States (OAS) approves the quarantining Cuba. Before the day ended, the US had ships as close as 800 miles from Cuba. Later in the day, Kennedy sends Robert Kennedy to to the Soviet embassy to so he can talk with Ambassador Dobryn. During this time, Khrushchev sends a letter to Kenney that says there is a “ serious threat to peace and security of peoples”. Kennedy is sympathetic to Khrushchev and agrees to pull the quarantine line back 500 miles.
