June 1963

The United States and the Soviet Union set up a hot line (teletype) between the White House and the Kremlin. The Cuban Missile Crisis showed both the United States and the Soviet Union the need for better communication. The two superpowers signed an agreement on June 20, 1963 to set up the hot line, and it was installed a few weeks later.
