Special advisor to the President,
McGeorge Bundy.
:02:10
Good morning, Mr. President.
:02:13
Did you read what Eisenhower
said about me yesterday?
:02:17
"President Kennedy's record
of the past 21 months
:02:20
is too sad to talk about."
:02:22
lmagine lke saying a thing
like that about me,
:02:25
and in Boston?
:02:26
Have some coffee, Mac.
:02:28
No, thank you.
:02:29
Mr. President -
:02:30
"James Meridith, the first Negro student
:02:32
at Mississippi attended classes
for the third day,
:02:34
and for the first time heard no jeers."
:02:36
Mr. President,
we've received hard evidence
:02:38
that the Russians have placed
offensive weapons in Cuba.
:02:43
What kind of weapons?
:02:45
Nuclear missiles.
:02:49
Whas your evidence?
:02:50
Aerial photographs from
the U-2 flight of October 14th.
:02:54
They show missile installations
being constructed
:02:56
in at least four places in Cuba.
:02:58
I wanna see those pictures.
:03:00
The photo interpreters are standing by.
:03:03
Who else is in on this?
:03:04
Intelligence, Rusk and some
of his people, McNamara.
:03:08
Maxwell Taylor?
:03:10
And the Joint Chiefs.
:03:11
McCone?
:03:12
We contacted him in Seattle
at his stepson's funeral.
:03:15
He's flying back.
:03:17
This must be kept
absolutely confidential.
:03:19
Only personnel with an
absolute need to know
:03:21
are to be told.
:03:22
Yes, sir.
:03:25
What the devil does Khrushchev
hope to accomplish.
:03:29
I wonder if he's gone mad.
:03:32
It could be a jab,
:03:34
the punch will probably land on Berlin.
:03:37
We'll have to step up our U-2 flights
:03:38
over Cuba immediately.
:03:40
I want daily reports at the least.
:03:46
Get the Attorney General
for me right away.
:03:52
Khrushchev's been promising for months
:03:54
he wouldn't introduce offensive
weapons into Cuba, now this.
:03:59
I can't trust him on the missiles.
