In a televised speech of extraordinary gravity, President John F.
Kennedy announced on October 22, 1962 that U.S. spy planes
have discovered Soviet missile bases in Cuba.

These missile sites—under construction but nearing completion —housed medium-range missiles capable of striking a number
of major cities in the United States, including Washington, D.C.

Kennedy announced that he was ordering a naval “quarantine”
of Cuba to prevent Soviet ships from transporting any more
offensive weapons to the island and explained that the United
States would not tolerate the existence of the missile sites
currently in place.

“fireside chat”—broadcast directly from the White House.

Roosevelt began that first address simply: “I want to talk for a
few minutes with the people of the United States about banking.”

The banks would be reopening the next day, Roosevelt said, and
he thanked the public for their “fortitude and good temper”
during the “banking holiday.”
