:38:05
Yes?
:38:06
Kenny, It's Bob
:38:07
We're getting another letter
over the teletype from Kruschev
:38:10
I have a bad feeling
:38:11
I'll be right there
:38:19
You're beautiful
:38:27
It looks like
Fomin was a ploy after all
:38:30
and they were just stalling for time
:38:39
It gets worse
:38:41
Gentlemen
:38:43
my specialists are in agreement
:38:45
This morning's letter is not Kruschev
Last night's letter was
:38:47
The evidence supports
only one conclusion
:38:49
There's been a coup
and Kruschev was replaced overnight
:38:55
Dean?
:38:56
It does suggest he's been co-opted
by hard-line elements
:39:00
Which at the end of the day
amounts to the same thing
:39:03
A puppet Kruschev
:39:04
and a hard-line Soviet government
pulling the strings
:39:06
No deal. And the missiles
are almost operational
:39:10
What if the Soviets have no intention
of honoring this second deal?
:39:13
The tomorrow
they make another condition
:39:15
Meanwhile
the quarantine isn't working
:39:18
and they're completing work
on the missiles sites
:39:21
Sir, I think we have to issue
pre- invasion orders for our forces
:39:25
Mr. President
:39:27
This morning's photography is in
:39:29
It appears the Soviet have commenced a
crash program to ready their missiles
:39:34
The first missiles
become operational last night
:39:37
We expect they'll all be operational
in 36 hours
:39:40
Then we're out of time
:39:41
We have to go in
:39:42
That may not be
as easy as we thought, either
:39:44
We have confirmation
the Soviets have also deployed
:39:48
battlefield nuclear weapons to Cuba
:39:50
FROGS, we call them
:39:51
Short- range tactical nukes
:39:53
We don't know whether
they've delegated release authority
:39:56
to their local commanders
for use on our invasion troops
:39:59
But the good news is
as of this moment
