Transcripts - 85 pages and heav edited to delete the sensitive mater - of the two off-the-record meetin were released yesterday by the JF Library in a timely parallel to the U invasion of Grenada this week. ' THEY MADE it clear Kennedy w determined to excise the missiles fro Cuba, one way or another. Kennedy's first reaction wast prepare for military action. "I thinkw ought to, beginning right now, 1 preparing," Kennedy said in the first( the two recorded meetings. "We're ce tainly going to do No. 1; we're goingt take out these missiles." The transcripts, occasionally blacke out by NSC censors, showed Attorne General Robert Kennedy, Vic President Lyndon Johnson and othe initially favored military action. THE TRANSCRIPTS seem to i dicate Secretary of State Dean Rus and Gen. Maxwell Taylor, chairman( the Joint Chiefs of Staff, favored a he Theai strikes, followed by an invasion. pts As the discussion continued, the gs president and his men focused on the ere liabilities of military action. Kennedy ang was concerned that Soviet bombers m- believed based in Cuba might attack on U.S. cities, saying, "I would think you'd have to assume they'd be using, uh, iron ily bombs and not nuclear weapons ial because obviously why would the gs Soviets permit nuclear war to begin un- 'K der that sort of half-assed way?" .S. Taylor warned that even a massive air strike could not guarantee the as destruction of all missiles. "Others im worried of the impact a surprise attack would have on trouble spots such as to Berlin and Latin America. we "OUR PRINCIPAL problem is to try be and imaginatively to think what the of world would be like if we do this," said er- McGeorge Bundy, Kennedy's special to assistant for national security affairs. Rusk said air strikes could kill as ed many as 2,000 Cubans and, "I think we ey will be facing a situation that could well ce lead to general war." rs The course suggested by McNamara ultimately was chosen. n- Kennedy told the nation of the sk situation six days later, ordered a naval of blockade of Cuba and forced the Soviets ir to remove the missiles from the island. Are You A Designing Person? If so, Ann Arbor Civic. ter has designs on you! Daily Photo by TOD WOOLF Lawrence Kasdan, University alumnus and Hollywood filmmaker, calls on a member of the audience at yesterday's question and answer session at the MLB. Kasdan is at the University this week as part of the writer-in- residence program. Mtnus Kasdan'4 film er By THOMAS MILLER Lawrence Kasdan is living proof that not all LSA graduates end up in unem- ployment lines or in graduate schools getting an MBA. Kasdan, a University alumnus and one of Hollywood's top screen writers and directors with films like Body Heat, Return of the Jedi, and The Big Chill to his credit, told an audience full of aspiring movie makers that becoming successful is not a futile pursuit. "IT IS POSSIBLE to go from here to Hollywood or New York as a screen- writer," said Kasdan, who spoke at the MLB as part of his week-long visit to Ann Arbor. "The problem is figuring out how to eat before someone will pay you to make movies." Kasdan is conducting workshops and speaking to English and film classes this week as a University writer-in- residence. He advised future screenwriters and directors not to take film critics too seriously, saying he felt that they shouldn't be trusted. "It's vital that people have their own reaction. No two people see the same movie," Kasdan said. "The media tries hard to get between you and your work. Movie reviews are irrelevant because everybody's a critic." HE ALSO encouraged students to take advantage of the numerous showings of older movies around cam- pus - living in Ann Arbor affords a great opportunity to see some of the best films ever made, Kasdan said. "You have to see the old movies - demand to see them. Don't worry about what's coming out of Hollywood now," he said. He said that Hollywood makes too many movies that sacrifice intellectual issues for mindless thrills. "IT'S NATURAL TO grow up in America to go to the movies to be enter- tained, but there's nothing wrong with having a movie make you think," Kasdan said. "Unfortunately, Hollywood thinks these movies don't make money." During the question and answer session, Kasdan said he thinks the University's film department concen- trates too heavily on analyzing existing films rather than teaching production techniques. "There's a need for more production and writing classes. There is too much criticizing and not enough doing," Kasdan said. "You've got to train people to make art." KASDAN TOLD the audience that he doesn't have any new works in progress. After working steadily for six years, he said he needs to rest. "Writing and directing takes over your life. It's brutal to your personal life," he said. But he added that "it's better than I thought it would be. The excitement only grows as you get more involved." Kasdan attended the University from 1966 until 1972, and won four Hopwood Awards while he was a student. His latest film, The Big Chill, depicts the reunion of a group of University alum- ni. "I see myself as all the characters in The Big Chill," he said, adding that the friends he and his wife made in Ann Ar- bor "have been the most meaningful relationships of our lives." We are looking for talented, experienced directors, producers, and designers of costume, stage sets, and choreography, as well as set and costume builders and props persons.

Ap- Rent a Car from Econo-Car Marchers protest invasion OPEN 7 DA YS A WEEK o - ( . ..:- - ' . + ! _ =,-- i, , __ ; (Continued from Page 1) "The government is saying that we will use military force, whether it is legitimate or not, to overthrow any government that does not coincide with the principles and thinking of the U.S. (President Reagan) has clearly done that in Grenada," said Walter Klipp, a Vietnam veteran, who spoke while the crowd was gathered at North Hall. "LEARN AS we did that you are only in the front when it is time to die," Klipp told members of the Reserve Of- ficer Training Corps standing nearby. Following a moment of silence for the "victims of U.S. foreign policy" in Grenada, Klipp said from the steps of the ROTC building, "I hope that in two or three years we won't have to hold a moment of silence for the people inside of this building." Much of the anger at the rally was directed at Reagan, who, according to Klipp, was "playing a damn game of golf" as plans for the invasion were made. "We say to Ronald Reagan, how many more lives until you're satisfied?" said graduate student Ben Davis, a member of the Latin American Solidarity Committee (LSAC). "We will continue to fight until American soldiers stop fighting against freedom," he said while speaking to the crowd in the Diag. The rally was organized by members of LASC and the Progressive Student Network. In East Lansing yesterday, a similar rally drew only a dozen protestors, some of whom were students at Michigan State University. The demon- strators rallied outside of a U.S. Marine Corps Recruiting office near the MSU campus to protest both the invasion of Grenada and the presence of Marines in Lebanon. WE RENT TO19 YR.
