: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.

:05:01
You see, there's no activity
down there at all, sir.

:05:04
Now, you compare that with this one
taken by Major Anderson

:05:07
just 36 hours ago from the same altitude.
:05:09
You can see the difference.
:05:11
These are installations for
medium range missiles.

:05:14
Yes, there's no doubt about that,
Mr. President.

:05:16
That slam pattern is
absolutely characteristic

:05:18
of Soviet installations.
:05:22
I'm grateful to you,
:05:24
give my compliments to the rest
of your team,

:05:27
especially, Major Anderson.
:05:29
Thank you, Mr. President.
:05:30
Would you leave those with me please?
:05:32
Certainly, Sir.
:05:37
Kenny, come in here.
:05:48
Morning, Mr. President.
:05:50
Is a beautiful day.
:05:52
Is marvelous.
:05:54
Have you seen astronaut Wally Schirra,
:05:55
Mrs. Schirra and the two children?
:05:57
The photographers would love you
to take them out

:05:59
for a look at Caroline's pony.
