:42:06
I think President Roosevelt
through my father

:42:07
out of this suite in 1942.
:42:10
Better?
:42:11
Yes, is much better Dave, thank you.
:42:19
They loved the speech.
:42:21
I'm sure glad to hear that.
:42:23
Yes, but will they love us on Monday,
:42:25
like they love us today?
:42:29
Thas good chowder.
:42:31
Got it from Chicago.
:42:34
Yes.
:42:36
Pierre wants a minute with you.
:42:37
You'll want to talk to Bobby first.
:42:39
He'll be with you in a moment, Pierre.
:42:46
The attorney general, Mr. President.
:42:49
Whas happening there, Bobby?
:42:52
Yes, I understand about Acheson
:42:57
but we have to keep him in the picture.
:42:59
Maybe Paris and the joint chiefs
have to look at it that way.

:43:03
But, they'll come around
when we're committed.

:43:05
Has McNamara punched in the
Atlantic/Caribbean alert?

:43:10
No, I'll have to brief
the congressional leadership myself.

:43:14
One session with foreign affairs
and armed services.

:43:17
Now the consensus will form up
around the blockade

:43:19
if you're here, I know that.
:43:20
But, without you here
to take the responsibility,

:43:22
it looks to risky to them.
:43:23
Just too damn risky.
:43:24
And, I'll come back in the morning.
:43:26
Tell Sorenson he's writing a speech
:43:27
announcing a blockade not Armageddon.
:43:30
Good night, Bobby.
:43:32
First thing in the morning, Ken.
:43:34
Yes, sir.
:43:42
Get me Admiral Berkley, please.
:43:44
Kenny would you please
hand me my magazine?

:43:45
Yes, sure.
:43:46
We're going to have to come up
with a good reason

:43:48
to cut your speech short, Mr. President.
:43:50
What will it be?
:43:51
You caught a cold.
:43:52
Hello, Doctor, Ken O'Donnell.
:43:55
Please come around to the presidens
suite tomorrow morning

:43:58
and make that 09:00.
