:34:02
Kind of simple for the Pentagon
:34:14
Mr. Gromyko
:34:16
Hold on one minute
:34:23
Gentlemen
would you mind shaking hands?
:34:27
So that there should be
no misunderstanding
:34:30
the position of the United States
:34:32
which has been made clear
by the Attorney General
:34:33
to Ambassador Dobrynin here
:34:35
I shall read a sentence
from my statement
:34:36
to the press dated September 13th
:34:39
"Should missiles or offensive weapon
be placed in Cuba"
:34:43
"it would present the gravest threat
to U. S. national security"
:34:47
Mr. President
:34:48
as Premier Kruschev's own statement
of September 13th assured you
:34:52
our military assistance to Cuba
:34:54
is of a defensive nature only
:35:02
So I did not misunderstand you?
:35:04
There are no offensive weapons in Cuba
:35:07
Premier Kruschev's statement
of September 13th
:35:10
remains the position
of the Soviet government
:35:13
To that I have nothing to add
:35:17
Well, that's good enough for me
:35:19
Thanks so much
:35:21
Thank you
:35:25
Gentlemen
if you'll come with me, please
:35:28
A most instructive meeting
:35:36
What happened?
:35:37
Lying bastard
:35:39
Lied right to my face
:35:40
We're split down the middle
:35:41
If I held a vote, I think air strike
would beat blockade by a vote or two
:35:44
I want a consensus
Either air strike or blockade
:35:48
Something everyone's gonna stand by
:35:49
even if they don't like it
:35:51
And I need it by Saturday
:35:53
So make it happen
:35:55
What if I can't?
:35:58
We go into this split
the Russians will know it
