Kennedy's Nassau visit and agreement
The register records John F. Kennedy visiting Nassau, The Bahamas, on December 18–21, 1962, conferring with Prime Minister Macmillan and concluding the Nassau agreement on nuclear defense systems.
What this does and does not establish
Trip 2784; table row 3 agrees with the XML. The country field says United Kingdom, while the locale specifies Nassau (The Bahamas); the region follows the physical destination.

- Theme
- Politics and institutions
- Kind of record
- Placed in a year. A source places this in one year. It is listed under that year; no day precision is invented.
How it is dated
- Date reference
- 1962-12-18 to 1962-12-21
- How we use it
- Year-level placement is limited to the dated source entry.
The date reference is this project’s reading of the source’s date. It may give an era name, a reign or a calendar in a normalised form rather than in the source’s own words; the dating notes say what the source prints.
Dating notes from the research record
Read tripvisits06.txt row 3 and travel-kennedy-john-f.xml lines 78–149, including trip 2784 at lines 116–130. Visit dates at lines 120–121 both fall in civil AD 1962; 2010 metadata does not date the visit. Original quotation begins at line 3, character 362.
File names and line numbers in these notes, and in the limits above, refer to the project’s retained copies of the cited sources. Names such as calendar_headers are the project’s calendar look-ups, and “the investigator” is the research step that prepared the record.
Sources and quoted text
Line and character numbers under “Location” refer to the project’s retained copy of the source. For database rows, “Edition” names the batch of rows that was fetched together.
