:12:02
In my judgment the implications
of Soviet deceit
:12:05
go even far beyond this damn situation.
:12:07
We cannot and we will not accept
Soviet missiles in Cuba.
:12:12
We will not repeal the Monroe Doctrine
or the REO Pact.
:12:16
The Soviets can't lie to us,
ship missiles to our front door,
:12:18
and then come up winners,
smelling like roses,
:12:22
not if we ever hope to deal
with them again,
:12:25
not if we hope to survive.
:12:30
I'm going to campaign in Chicago
and in Connecticut.
:12:34
I'm going to fulfill my appointments
for as long as possible,
:12:37
and so are all of you.
:12:39
Our one advantage now
is that the Russians
:12:42
think we believe their lies.
:12:46
You people will formulate recommendations
:12:48
on the best course of action.
:12:51
We're not going to reveal the facts
to the American people,
:12:54
or to our allies, or to our enemies
till we have determined
:12:58
how we intend to deal with this crisis.
:13:00
Mr. President,
is going to be impossible
:13:04
to keep this under wraps for very long.
:13:06
We don't have very long, 10 days.
:13:36
Yes, I can answer the question,
:13:38
I know President Kennedy.
:13:39
You remember, we spent many hours
together in Vienna,
:13:42
just over a year ago.
:13:43
In those hours I told him clearly
:13:45
that while we adhere to the policy of
peaceful coexistence,
:13:49
we intended to fully defend
and pursue our national
:13:54
and socialist interests.
:13:56
How did Kennedy respond.
:13:58
He told me that he was anxious
to reach an accommodation.
