Secretary of State under Kennedy (1909–1994). Souvenir typescript of Rusk’s statement on the Cuban Missile Crisis, one page, 8.5 x 11, signed at the conclusion in black ballpoint. In part: “Our most difficult crisis during the 1960s was the Cuban Missile Crisis. There the two nuclear superpowers were in direct confrontation…I was with six members of the US Cabinet meeting with the Japanese when we heard that President Kennedy had been shot in Dallas. We immediately turned around and made a non-stop flight from Hawaii to Washington DC. I do not think that a foreign conspiracy was involved.” In fine condition. RR Auction COA.
