Real life usually is, Walter
:07:04
They know each other, Jack
:07:06
Kruschev and Fomin were war buddies
:07:08
You sure?
:07:09
Don't take it to court, but we've
got good circumstantial evidenct
:07:13
What's your instinct?
I gotta move on this
:07:19
My gut's telling me that
:07:20
Kruschev's tuming to a trusted
old friend to carry his message
:07:25
Okay. We're going
:07:29
I've been instructed to tell you
:07:31
that the American government
would respond favorably
:07:33
to an offer along the lines
that you have discussed
:07:36
If such a solution were raised
at the U. N. by Ambassador Zorin
:07:40
he would find a favorable reply
from Ambassador Stevenson
:07:43
So I understand you correctly
:07:47
if the missiles in Cuba
were dismantled
:07:51
returned to the Soviet Union
:07:53
and a guarantee was made
not to reintroduce them
:07:56
the United States
would be prepared to guarantee
:07:58
that it would never invade Cuba
:08:01
That is correct
:08:03
And this is from
the Highest Authority?
:08:04
Yes. The Highest Authority
:08:08
There are two conditions
:08:09
The U. N. must be allowed to
inspect the removal of the missiles
:08:14
Of course the U. N.
must also be allowed to observe
:08:16
the re-deployment of forces
from the American Southeast
:08:19
I can't speak to that
:08:22
What's the second condition?
:08:25
Time is of the essence
:08:26
How much time?
:08:27
48 hours
:08:29
In 48 hours, there can be no deals
:08:36
I'll see what I can do
:08:54
I think it's very difficult
to make a decision from this document
:08:57
It looks to me like
Fomin's overture was genuine
