This scenario asks you to apply the strategic decision-making frameworks you have studied to the Kennedy and Carter cases from the Historical Reference materials. These questions go beyond recognition — they ask you to use the frameworks analytically. QUESTION 13 OF 4 (MLO 4.1): Kennedy assigned ExComm members to argue positions they did not personally hold.
