Do State Department records show who was in Rusk's room on August 10, 1962?

Research question: What do State Department calendars, conference-room booking records, or visitor logs for August 10, 1962 show about who was physically present at Rusk's conference room, and do they corroborate the Special Group (Augmented) meeting?

The verified facts contain no State Department calendars, conference-room booking records, or visitor logs for August 10, 1962, so they cannot show who was physically present by those means ⁵. A 1962 Editorial Note states that the meeting was held in Secretary Rusk's conference room in the Department of State ². It says Rusk chaired the meeting and that McNamara and the regular Special Group (Augmented) members attended ⁴, but the facts do not show a log that confirms this. A memorandum dated August 8, 1962 treats the meeting as scheduled and cites a written agenda, which supports planning rather than attendance ¹³. The newest fact is dated August 10, 1962, about 64 years before October 2026.
