: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.
:04:00
We'll have to bomb the damn things out,
Mr. President.

:04:07
We'll meet in the Cabinet Room at 11:45.
:04:12
Inform Rusk, McNamara,
General Taylor, Dillon,

:04:17
Sorensen, Kenny O'Donnell, George Ball,
:04:21
you be there, get Thompson,
and I want Stevenson.

:04:27
He's flying in from New York later today.
:04:29
Thas fine.
:04:31
Have Rusk brief Dean Acheson.
:04:36
Hello, Bobby.
:04:40
I want you to get over here
as fast as you possibly can.

:04:44
Right.
:04:46
We are facing great trouble.
:04:49
Ill take us better part of the day
to analyze the films, sir.

:04:51
We had to go over 1,000 frames.
:04:53
This looks like a football field.
:04:56
Yes, thas a shot of San Cristobal
:04:58
taken six weeks ago taken
from an altitude of 14 miles.
