It was known that a large number of Communis t ships were enroute to Cuba with further bloc material for the offensive buildup that the President was prepared to document in declaring a blockade, But, intensive and even heated though the debate was, reports of a sharp break between hard-line and soft-line advocates is baseless, according to the participants.

So well had the secret been kept that without exception they had no know ledge of the decision the President had taken, with all its incalculable consequences and which two hours later he was to announce to the world, Both Republicans and Democrats received the President's statement with quiet acceptance. Contrary to published reports, the members of the Republican opposition did not respond with a demand for even more drastic measures such as an immediate invasion of Cuba, Representative Charles Halleck, minority leader of the House, spoke up at once to tell the President he would have full support in the decision he had taken, Republicans put aside, at any rate inthe hushed and foreboding atmosphere of the Cabinet room, the "I told you so" temptation, of California”, he said.

But, as both the President and the Senator sitting across from him understood, Fulbright had warned well in advance of the almost -certain failure of the Bay of Pigs operation since it would not rally the support of the Cuban people. The Fulbright memorandum might have resulted in calling off the attempt or it might have persuaded the President to give allout American support to an invasion which could never under the circumstances have produced an internal uprising.
