: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.
:55:00
Cheers.
:55:03
Would you mind telling me
what the President

:55:05
thought of my performance today?
:55:07
He admired your courage.
:55:10
I hope thas true.
:55:12
Most of those men
probably consider me a coward

:55:15
for what I said today.
:55:17
Maybe there should be a coward around
:55:19
when we're talking about nuclear war,
:55:22
which is what everyone is talking about.
:55:24
Everyone?
:55:25
Al Friendly of the Washington Post
and Scotty Weston of the Times

:55:28
have dug out the story.
:55:29
Don't ask me how.
:55:32
They know what our bearded friend
has in Cuba.

:55:35
Are you certain?
:55:37
Their questions were considerably
more accurate than my answers.

:55:42
Damn.
:55:44
I'll have to call the President.
:55:47
Excuse me.
:55:55
This governmens like a sieve,
:55:56
is a miracle we've kept the story
out of the press

:55:58
as long as we have.
