: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 presidens
suite tomorrow morning
:43:58
and make that 09:00.
:44:01
And, Doctor, be flexible.
:44:06
Okay, les have Pierre day.
:44:11
What if you can't get the consensus
in Washington tomorrow?
:44:16
President Lincoln once put a proposition
before his cabinet.
:44:21
The vote was nine aye, and one nay.
:44:25
The nay vote was Lincoln's
and the proposition was defeated.
:44:29
I'll make this decision alone if I must.
:44:32
Ill be infinitely better
if the Executive Department
:44:34
support me all the way,
:44:36
cause they've participated
in the decision,
:44:38
they understand it,
and they believe in it.
:44:45
Hello, Pierre.
:44:47
The speech went very well, Mr. President.
:44:50
Thanks, whas your problem?
:44:52
I just got a call from Bob Allen,
:44:55
he and Paul Scott are gonna
publish a story
:44:57
that we're on the verge of invading Cuba.
