About
In 1960, President Kennedy named Tracy Voorhees the President's Personal Representative for Cuban Refugees. Between 1960 and 1961, Voorhees researched the situation in south Florida as the first wave of Cuban exiles arrived. His findings are summarized in this report to the president, with information on needs for housing, educational facilities, and so on. This document reveals that providing for Cuban exiles is perceived as the responsibility of the United States, due to the US role as the leading anti-communist power in the world and the exiles' status as "victims of communism."
