They know each other, Jack
1:42:04
Kruschev and Fomin were war buddies
1:42:06
You sure?
1:42:07
Don't take it to court, but we've
got good circumstantial evidenct
1:42:11
What's your instinct?
I gotta move on this
1:42:17
My gut's telling me that
1:42:18
Kruschev's tuming to a trusted
old friend to carry his message
1:42:23
Okay. We're going
1:42:27
I've been instructed to tell you
1:42:29
that the American government
would respond favorably
1:42:31
to an offer along the lines
that you have discussed
1:42:34
If such a solution were raised
at the U. N. by Ambassador Zorin
1:42:38
he would find a favorable reply
from Ambassador Stevenson
1:42:41
So I understand you correctly
1:42:45
if the missiles in Cuba
were dismantled
1:42:49
returned to the Soviet Union
1:42:51
and a guarantee was made
not to reintroduce them
1:42:54
the United States
would be prepared to guarantee
1:42:56
that it would never invade Cuba
1:42:59
That is correct
1:43:01
And this is from
the Highest Authority?
1:43:02
Yes. The Highest Authority
1:43:06
There are two conditions
1:43:07
The U. N. must be allowed to
inspect the removal of the missiles
1:43:12
Of course the U. N.
must also be allowed to observe
1:43:14
the re-deployment of forces
from the American Southeast
1:43:17
I can't speak to that
1:43:20
What's the second condition?
1:43:23
Time is of the essence
1:43:24
How much time?
1:43:25
48 hours
1:43:27
In 48 hours, there can be no deals
1:43:34
I'll see what I can do
1:43:52
I think it's very difficult
to make a decision from this document
1:43:55
It looks to me like
Fomin's overture was genuine
1:43:58
It's a big "if", Bobby
1:43:59
It's ten pages of sentimental fluff
