Hugh, how are you?
:33:14
Excuse me, Joan
:33:16
So, tell me about this military
exercise going on in Puerto Rico
:33:20
What?
:33:20
It's called... ORTSAC, I believe
:33:23
Castro spelled backwards
:33:25
ORTSAC?
:33:27
I don't know what you're talking about
:33:28
Me either
:33:29
Why?
:33:31
Because maybe the President
and Gromyko are gonna talk about it
:33:33
You're trying to drum something up
Johnny. Forget it
:33:36
This meeting's been
on the books for months
:33:39
Far as I know, it's just a friendly
talk on U. S -Soviet relations
:33:46
Mr. President!
Will you make a statement, sir?
:33:49
Alright, hold it, fellas
:33:50
You'll get your pictures
:33:53
Does it?
:33:57
I'll be damned
:34:00
Kind of simple for the Pentagon
:34:13
Mr. Gromyko
:34:15
Hold on one minute
:34:22
Gentlemen
would you mind shaking hands?
:34:26
So that there should be
no misunderstanding
:34:29
the position of the United States
:34:30
which has been made clear
by the Attorney General
:34:31
to Ambassador Dobrynin here
:34:33
I shall read a sentence
from my statement
:34:35
to the press dated September 13th
:34:38
"Should missiles or offensive weapon
be placed in Cuba"
:34:42
"it would present the gravest threat
to U. S. national security"
:34:45
Mr. President
:34:47
as Premier Kruschev's own statement
of September 13th assured you
:34:51
our military assistance to Cuba
:34:53
is of a defensive nature only
