:38:00
That's the first time
you've ever threatened me
:38:06
All right
:38:07
I won't print anything
until I have another source
:38:09
But I promise you I'll get one
:38:16
Bobby?
:38:17
We've got a consensus for a blockade
:38:19
but it won't last past tomorrow
:38:21
You have to bring him back
:38:23
By the way
:38:24
China invaded India today
:38:25
You're kidding, aren't you?
:38:26
I wish I were
:38:28
Galbraith's handling it in New Delhi
:38:31
Makes you wonder what's coming next
:38:33
What is it about the free world that
pisses the rest of the world off?
:38:37
I don't know
We have Tupperware parties?
:38:41
Maybe
:38:42
I'll see you tomorrow
:38:43
Okay
:38:44
The President has a cold
:38:46
He's canceling
the remainder of this trip
:38:49
and returning to Washington
on the advice of his doctor
:38:51
Is that the final word?
:38:58
President Kennedy!
How do you feel, Mr. President?
:39:11
Mr. President, our deliberations
have led us to the conclusion
:39:14
that a blockade of offensive weapons
to Cuba is our best option
:39:19
A strong showing of support from
the Organization of American States
:39:22
would give us
an umbrella of legitimacy
:39:24
A blockade
is technically an act of war
:39:26
Therefore we recommend
calling the action a quarantine
:39:29
Let's hope that translates
into Russian the way we want it to
:39:35
There are between 20...
:39:37
and 30 Soviet ships
underway to cuba at this time
:39:40
800 miles out
:39:42
the navy will stop them
:39:43
board
:39:44
and any vessels containing weapons
will be turned back
:39:47
A quarantine prevents
any more missiles from reaching Cuba
:39:50
but it doesn't remove
the missiles already there
:39:52
It gives the Soviets a chance
to pull back without a war
:39:56
If they refuse to remove the missiles
:39:58
we retain the option
to strike and invade
