:44:01
And, Doctor, be flexible.
:44:06
Okay, les 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
Ill 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, whas 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.
:45:00
Also Carlton Kent of the Sun Times
asked for verification of a report

:45:02
that we have parachute units
on the alert for a Cuban jump.

:45:07
Now, sir, I'm completely in the dark.
:45:08
Call Kent and tell him
that story is absolutely false.

:45:11
We have no intentions of invading Cuba.
:45:13
If he prints that story
he's gonna look foolish.

:45:14
Kenny, call McNamara
and have him ask Allen and Scott

:45:17
to kill their story.
:45:18
Mr. President, I suppose
you're gonna tell me

:45:19
whas going on when you think
I should know.

:45:23
I don't want to put my press secretary
:45:25
in a position of deliberately
deceiving the press.

:45:27
And you're not the worlïs greatest
liar, Pierre.

:45:32
You don't know how lucky you are
not to know what you don't know.

:45:37
Yes, sir.
:45:40
Good night, Mr. President.
:45:42
Good night, Pierre.
:45:44
Pierre, we're making some alternative
travel arrangements

:45:48
for the pool reporters in the morning.
:45:49
You'll make the announcement at the last-
:45:51
Now, wait a minute,
are you talking about a new schedule?

:45:53
The President is developing a cold.
:45:55
Now who do you think thas gonna fool?
:45:56
Everybody,
the way you're gonna handle it.
