:38:04
All right
:38:05
I won't print anything
until I have another source
:38:08
But I promise you I'll get one
:38:15
Bobby?
:38:16
We've got a consensus for a blockade
:38:17
but it won't last past tomorrow
:38:19
You have to bring him back
:38:21
By the way
:38:22
China invaded India today
:38:24
You're kidding, aren't you?
:38:25
I wish I were
:38:27
Galbraith's handling it in New Delhi
:38:30
Makes you wonder what's coming next
:38:32
What is it about the free world that
pisses the rest of the world off?
:38:36
I don't know
We have Tupperware parties?
:38:39
Maybe
:38:41
I'll see you tomorrow
:38:42
Okay
:38:43
The President has a cold
:38:45
He's canceling
the remainder of this trip
:38:47
and returning to Washington
on the advice of his doctor
:38:49
Is that the final word?
:38:56
President Kennedy!
How do you feel, Mr. President?
:39:09
Mr. President, our deliberations
have led us to the conclusion
:39:13
that a blockade of offensive weapons
to Cuba is our best option
:39:18
A strong showing of support from
the Organization of American States
:39:21
would give us
an umbrella of legitimacy
:39:23
A blockade
is technically an act of war
:39:25
Therefore we recommend
calling the action a quarantine
:39:28
Let's hope that translates
into Russian the way we want it to
:39:33
There are between 20...
:39:36
and 30 Soviet ships
underway to cuba at this time
:39:39
800 miles out
:39:40
the navy will stop them
:39:42
board
:39:43
and any vessels containing weapons
will be turned back
:39:45
A quarantine prevents
any more missiles from reaching Cuba
:39:48
but it doesn't remove
the missiles already there
:39:51
It gives the Soviets a chance
to pull back without a war
:39:54
If they refuse to remove the missiles
:39:56
we retain the option
to strike and invade
:39:59
A sneak attack is counter to
what the United States stands for
