f) us president john f. kennedy demanded an end of the secret operation.   (in an october 22, 1962, speech, kennedy announced to the nation the naval blockade he had ordered and announced to the soviet union his demand that they stop their operation and remove their missiles.)

d) us president john f. kennedy promised to not invade cuba and to dismantle us   missiles that were installed in turkey.
