Sound recording of a meeting held on September 30, 1963, between President John F. Kennedy, Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs McGeorge Bundy, and Special Assistant to the President Ralph Dungan.

Before this meeting there is also a brief photo opportunity with retiring White House policeman and a brief discussion on the recent acquisition of “mini deer,” which President Kennedy requests be housed at Camp David, Maryland.
