David Kahn's, "The Codebreakers", 1967, p 715-716 provides an
excellent summary of the how the Hot Line came into existence.
'As a result of the Cuban missile crisis the long, talked-about
"hot line" between Washington and Moscow was to become a reality.
On 20th June, 1963, at Geneva, Switzerland , the United States and
the Soviet Union signed a Memorandum of Understanding that set up a
duplex cable circuit routed from
Washington-London-Copenhagen-Stockholm-Helsinki to Moscow for
primary political communications and a duplex radio circuit routed
from Washington to Tangier to Moscow for service communications and
as a back-up'.
