and, I think we could use
all the help we can get.

:53:05
I'd welcome the support of McCloy
and his friends.

:53:12
I'll ask him to join Stevenson's
delegation at the UN.

:53:15
Thank you.
:53:17
Now, I said join Stevenson's delegation.
:53:21
Yes, Mr. President.
:53:27
The blockade will form an arch
extending 800 miles

:53:30
to sea from Cape Mysai,
:53:32
thas well beyond the range
of the big fighters in Cuba.

:53:35
Your designation is Task Force 136,
:53:36
comprising 13 destroyers
on the forward line,

:53:39
supported by two cruisers,
:53:41
flanked by four additional destroyers,
:53:43
and the guided missile cruiser Kembara.
:53:46
In support will be the Filabreflex
Invasion Fleet.

:53:49
By the way, Corky,
three of your destroyers

:53:51
have just put in from service
with the Sixth Fleet.

:53:53
The men are on liberty and
hung out over half

:53:55
the eastern seaboard.
:53:57
You'll have 24 hours to corral
them and to sail.

:54:00
So, you will be in position
and close all navigable channels

:54:04
to Cuba as of ten hundred
this Wednesday, 24 October.

:54:22
We'll put it down, Skally,
:54:23
as prediction from me.
:54:24
Now, we Republicans are going to
pick up four seats in the senate,

:54:27
and at least, at least 14 in the house.
:54:29
At ABC News, we keep picking up reports
of major troop movements.

:54:34
Now, Senator, wouldn't you say
that something

:54:36
very big is brewing in Cuba,
or perhaps in Berlin?

:54:39
I think is all smoke.
:54:40
The President won't take firm action
this close to the election.

:54:43
Will you excuse us, please.
:54:47
I'm surprised you could get away, Ken.
:54:51
Had to, Governor,
I can't think straight any more.

:54:54
Anyway, if the administration
misses another clambake,

:54:58
Khrushchev will know we're on to him.
