Jack Kennedy is "very well informed." More significantly, while no decision has been made on just what tactic to employ, the President is determined to fight hard.

Representative Tom Pelly of Washington was able to muster only 83 of the House's 437 members on a petition protesting the President's plan to borrow $7.3 billion directly from the Treasury-a tactic designed to bypass the authority of the penny-pinching House Appropriations Committee.

The catch is that the three must be unanimous, thus guaranteeing the Russians a veto at every step...
...cockiest Congolese of them all, the man with the most money and the tidiest private army. Last week, stripped of his Belgian advisers and cut off from his troops, he languished in a guarded villa in Coquilhatville. He was a victim of that old Congolese persuasion tactic-kidnaping. And nobody much seemed to care...
