:06:00
Thas fine Kenny.
:06:01
Good.
:06:02
Do you still think Cuba is
unimportant as a campaign issue?

:06:06
Well, absolutely.
:06:07
Is five weeks to the election.
:06:08
The voters don't give a holler
about Cuba.

:06:10
Every time Senators Keating and Capehart
:06:12
does squawk about Cuba
threatening our security

:06:14
they put everybody to sleep.
:06:16
So, Cuba doesn't amount to much?
:06:18
Not as a campaign issue, no sir.
:06:22
I want you to take a look at these, Ken.
:06:25
You're an old Air Force bombardier,
:06:27
you should be able to tell
what they show.

:06:31
I can't believe it.
:06:33
You better believe it.
:06:35
You've just elected Capehart in Indiana
:06:37
and Ken Keating will probably be
the next president.

:06:43
We're going to have to rearrange
the schedule.

:06:46
There'll be a meeting in the
cabinet room at 11:45.

:06:48
Get the authorized list from Bundy
:06:50
then you must clamp down
the security lid.

:06:53
Not a word to anyone else
including cabinet members,

:06:55
National Security Council Members,
:06:57
Secretaries or wives.
:06:58
Should I cancel your schedule?
:07:01
Absolutely not.
:07:05
I'm going to keep my appointments
for as long as I can.

:07:09
We're going to have to make it look like
:07:11
there's absolutely nothing unusual
going on around here.

:07:24
Bundy briefed me.
:07:26
I think Dad should be flown home.
:07:28
Is no time for him to be here.
:07:30
I'll make arrangements.
:07:32
Think we should add anyone to this list?
