: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
whas 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 thas gonna fool?
:45:56
Everybody,
the way you're gonna handle it.
:46:21
The United States today
detonated a nuclear device
:46:23
above Junston Island
in the central Pacific.
:46:26
The explosion was the second
successful American test
:46:28
in the upper atmosphere
in six attempts this year.
:46:47
The fifth day of the Missiles of October.
:46:57
I talked with Kennedy in Washington
for over two hours.
