Kenneth Keating's Proclamation on Cuba

Krushchev told Che and his group that there was no need to worry about any reaction from the United States because he would send the Baltic fleet if any problem should arise. But on August 31, 1962, Senator Kenneth Keating started sounding the alarm on something that the Kennedy administration had thought highly unlikely at the very least. The source of Keating's information was considered a secret for many years, but historians have determined that he probably got it from a number of places.
