Morning, gentlemen
:13:22
Morning, Mr. President
:13:24
Mr. Secretary
:13:25
Mr. President
:13:26
Bob. Bet you had a late night
:13:28
Sleep is for the week, Mr. President
:13:30
Mr. President
:13:31
CIA's been notified
:13:33
McCone's on his way back
from the West coast

:13:36
He's been burying his step-son
:13:38
General Carter's here, though
:13:43
Ted
:13:44
Kenny
:13:46
Okay
:13:50
Let's have it
:13:52
Arthur?
:13:54
Gentlemen, as most of you now know
:13:56
a U-2 over Cuba
:13:59
Sunday morning took
a series of disturbing photographs

:14:01
Our analysis at NPIC indicates
that the Soviet Union

:14:04
has followed up its conventional
weapons build-up in Cuba

:14:08
with the introduction of
:14:09
surface- to-surface medium range
ballistic missiles, or MRBM's

:14:16
Our official estimate at this time
is that this missiles system

:14:19
is the SS-4 Sandal
:14:22
We do not believe that
:14:25
the missiles are as yet operational
:14:27
IRONBARK reports that the SS-4
:14:30
can deliver a 3-megaton
nuclear weapon 1, 000 miles

:14:33
So far we've identified 32 missiles
serviced by about 3, 400 men

:14:36
undoubtedly all Soviet personnel
:14:41
Our cities and military installations
in the southeast

:14:44
as far north as Washington, D. C.
:14:47
are in range of these weapons
:14:49
and in the event of a launch would
have only five minutes of warning

:14:53
Five minutes, gentlemen
:14:54
In those five minutes
:14:56
they could kill 80 million Americans
:14:58
and destroy a significant
percentage of our bomber bases
