95. Memorandum From the Presidentʼs Special Assistant for National Security Affairs (Bundy) to Secretary of State Rusk⁰

Washington, April 13, 1961.

The following decisions, of which you are already aware, are reported for appropriate action:

1. There will be no employment of U.S. armed forces against Cuba unless quite new circumstances develop.

2. The specific plan for paramilitary support, Nestor, has been rejected, and the President does not wish further planning of any such operations for an invasion of Cuba. There will be quiet disengagement from associations developed in connection with Nestor.
