Hi, Ken
:21:13
Helen just asked me what arrangements
we have for the families
:21:17
I just checked that myself
:21:20
They're being issued identity cards
:21:22
And if the call comes
:21:24
evacuation officers meet them
at pre-arranged departure areas
:21:28
They go by helicopter to Mount Weather
:21:30
We meet them there
:21:36
Course that's for morale
:21:39
Missiles only take five minutes
to get here
:21:45
The President
has asked Jackie and the children
:21:48
to come back from the country
to be with him
:21:52
You know those pictures upstairs...
:21:55
of Lincoln?
:21:58
He looked so old near the end
:22:03
When we got here, I said
:22:04
it's not gonna happen to us
:22:07
We were too young
:22:11
Why don't you go home tonight?
:22:14
Go on home
:22:17
Nah
:22:18
It's too much trouble to get a car
:22:20
Ken, we can get you a car
in 15 minutes
:22:24
No
:22:24
Go ahead
:22:26
No
:22:28
I'll let her sleep
:22:32
I'll let 'em sleep
:22:34
It almost seemed today as
if time stood still
:22:37
The shooting hadn't started yet
:22:39
but there weren't any
really encouraging signs
:22:41
that it could be avoided
:22:44
But worried, alarmed
afraid perhaps even...
:22:47
the American public nonetheless
:22:50
appeared determined and resolved
:22:53
This is Walter Cronkite
:22:55
Good night
