This urgent message âof the highest sensitivityâ from the Joint Chiefs to top commanders began with a misrepresentation of President Kennedyâs decision: âserious consideration [is] being given to withdrawal of JUPITERS from Italy and Turkey.â The recipientsâGeneral Lyman Lemnitzer [CINCEUR], Admiral Robert Dennison [CINCLANT], and General Thomas Power [DSTP]âwere to assume that Italy and Turkey had agreed to the decision, that withdrawal of the Jupiters would occur by April 1, 1963, and that Polaris submarines would be in the Mediterranean by that date. Both USCINCEUR and DSTP, who directed work on the SIOP, were to consider retargeting requirements once the Jupiters went offline. CINCLANT was to consider the feasibility of deploying one, two, or three submarines.
