Sound recording of two exchanges. The recording of the first exchange begins on Dictation Belt 3A.8. This is a sound recording of part of a conversation held on September 10, 1962, between President John F. Kennedy and approximately six unidentified people, possibly including Reverend Billy (William Franklin) Graham and former President Dwight D. Eisenhower. They continue their discussion about guerillas in Colombia.This is not a telephone conversation, but rather a conversation recorded when the telephone was left off the hook. It is a very poor quality recording.
The second item is a sound recording of a telephone conversation held on September 13, 1962, between President John F. Kennedy, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives John W. McCormack of Massachusetts, Representative Thomas E. (“Doc”) Morgan of Pennsylvania, and Representative Carl Vinson of Georgia. They discuss a congressional resolution on Cuba.
