:59:00
Meanwhile
the quarantine isn't working

:59:03
and they're completing work
on the missiles sites

:59:06
Sir, I think we have to issue
pre- invasion orders for our forces

:59:10
Mr. President
:59:12
This morning's photography is in
:59:14
It appears the Soviet have commenced a
crash program to ready their missiles

:59:19
The first missiles
become operational last night

:59:22
We expect they'll all be operational
in 36 hours

:59:25
Then we're out of time
:59:27
We have to go in
:59:27
That may not be
as easy as we thought, either

:59:29
We have confirmation
the Soviets have also deployed

:59:33
battlefield nuclear weapons to Cuba
:59:35
FROGS, we call them
:59:36
Short- range tactical nukes
:59:38
We don't know whether
they've delegated release authority

:59:41
to their local commanders
for use on our invasion troops

:59:44
But the good news is
as of this moment

:59:47
we know where the FROGS are
and we can target them, too

:59:51
But the longer we wait
the harder it's going to get

1:00:11
We have no choice
1:00:17
General, issue orders to our forces
1:00:19
to be prepared to execute
the air strikes Monday morning

1:00:23
and the follow-on invasion
according to the schedule thereafter

1:00:28
I'll need the official release orders
on my desk Sunday night

1:00:31
Understood, sir
1:00:33
We need to step up our over flights
1:00:35
finalize our pilots' target folders
in order to carry out the strikes

1:00:40
Permission granted
1:00:41
Yes, sir
1:00:53
Gentlemen
1:00:55
if anybody's got any great ideas
now's the time
