Maxwell Taylor- Mr. President . . .[unintel.] . . .There are a series of alternative plans, (papers shuffling) ranging from Roman numeral 1 of about 50 sorties directed against solely against the known MRBMs, known as of last night, to Roman numeral 5, which covers the alternative invasion plans. All of these plans are based on one very important assumption. That we would attack with conventional weapons against an enemy who is not equipped with operational nuclear weapons. If there is any possibility that the enemy is equipped with operational nuclear weapons, I'm certain the plans would have to be changed. Last evening we were discussing the relative merits of these forms of military action, assuming that at some point military action was required. It has been the views of the Chiefs, based on discussions within the last 2 days, and it was certainly my view, that either Roman numeral 1 or Roman numeral 2, very limited air strikes against very limited targets, would be quite inconclusive, very risky, and almost certainly lead to further military action, prior to which we would have paid an unnecessary price for the gains we achieved. And, therefore, the Chiefs and I would have recommended last night, and I would recommend more strongly today, that we would not consider undertaking either Roman numeral 1 or Roman numeral 2. In other words, we consider nothing short of a full invasion, as practical military action. And this, only on the assumption that we're operating against a force that does not possess operational nuclear weapons.
