1. Invitation

Guest List:

John Fitzgerald "Jack Kennedy
President during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Invited because he is the one who stopped the whole thing, he used his power to be diplomatic with the crisis instead of doing things by force like the generals had been urging him to do.

Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev
Premier of the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Invited because he used deception tactics during the crisis and could give useful insight on when they might be used.

Description

Kenneth Patrick O'Donnell 
Special Advisor to JFK. Invited because he could give other solutions, and with his knowledge of being a political advisor he would know what the safe options were.

Robert Francis "Bobby" Kennedy
64th U.S. Attorney General. Invited because he was a member of EXCOMM, and as the movie describes him "conniving" and "brilliant." He could bring some more insight on how to solve the crisis.

Curtis Emerson LeMay
U.S. Air Force General during Cuban Missile Crisis. Invited because he would challenge the others ideas and create more thought behind the solutions to the crisis.

Roger Donaldson
Director of Thirteen Days. Invited because he would have most likely researched the Cuban Missile Crisis to create a movie accurately about history.

Bruce Greenwood
Actor in Thirteen Days who played JFK. Invited because I thought it would be funny to have two JFKs in a room together.

James A. Henretta
Co-author of America's History 9th Edition. Invited because he would know of previous knowledge and how others dealt with the same issues.
