JOINT RESOLUTION 
October 3, 1962 
Expressing the determination of the United States with respect to the situation 
[s. J- es.230j 
in Cuba. 
Whereas President James Monroe, announcing the Monroe Doctrine 
in 1823, declared that the United States would consider any attempt 
on the part of European powers "to extend their system to any 
portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety"; 
and 
Whereas in the Rio Treatj^ of 1947 the parties agreed that "an armed 
62 stat. lesi. 
attack by any State against an American State shall be considered 
as an attack against all the American States, and, consequently, each 
one of the said contracting parties undertakes to assist in meeting 
the attack in the exercise of the inherent right of individual or 
collective self-defense recognized by article 51 of the Charter of the 
United Nations"; and 
59 stat. 1044. 
Whereas the Foreign Ministers of the Organization of American 
States at Punta del Este in January 1962 declared: "The present 
Government of Cuba has identified itself with the principles of 
Marxist-Leninist ideology, has established a political, economic, and 
social system based on that doctrine, and accepts military assistance 
from extracontinental Communist powers, including even the threat 
of military intervention in America on the part of the Soviet 
Union"; and 
Whereas the international Communist movement has increasingly 
extended into Cuba its political, economic, and military sphere of 
influence; Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved hy the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled, That the United States is
