:59:00
I'll announce the blockade
:59:02
in my speech to the nation
tomorrow evening.
:59:06
Admiral Anderson,
is all up to the Navy.
:59:08
The Navy won't let you down,
Mr. President.
:59:11
Thank you very much, Gentlemen.
:59:18
Hello, Pierre, did you get your briefing?
:59:20
Yes, Mr. President.
:59:21
I had no idea things were this bad.
:59:23
Aren't you glad you didn't know?
:59:24
Sir, security is breaking down,
:59:26
the reporters are seeing
the wrong officials
:59:27
in the wrong places at the wrong times.
:59:29
I expect you to keep the lid on
for another 24 hours.
:59:32
I want to get into this
so-called training exercise.
:59:34
Mr. Skally,
you have the Pentagon background,
:59:36
the Fillabriglegs 62
is a training exercise.
:59:38
It was announced long ago.
:59:40
Can you tell me why thousands of Marines
:59:42
were suddenly air lifted
from California to North Carolina?
:59:44
Thas part of the exercise.
:59:46
I have a report that this morning
destroyers from Norfolk
:59:48
and Jacksonville suddenly put to sea
:59:50
with crews that were
all but commandeered.
:59:52
Is my understanding that
the seas off Puerto Rico
:59:54
are unexpectedly heavy.
:59:56
The Navy had to make
some destroyer reassignments.
:59:58
Pierre, off the record,
isn't it true that -
1:00:00
No.
1:00:02
Thank you, gentlemen.
1:00:04
Mr. Salinger, Mr. Salinger -
1:00:05
The language of the speech
is too general.
1:00:08
The President must be more explicit.
1:00:09
He should demand that the Russians
dismantle the missiles.
1:00:11
The President is locked up
with Sorensen right now.
1:00:13
I'll get a message to him
as soon as possible.
1:00:15
Doug, when are you scheduled to
leave for Mexico City?
1:00:17
15 minutes ago.
1:00:19
The President may need your support
1:00:21
for the National Security
Council meeting.
1:00:22
I'll delay my flight.
1:00:23
Good, that would be best, thank you.
1:00:24
Now les get a hold of Salinger,
1:00:26
we should hear what he's arranged
for the Foreign Language broadcast.
1:00:28
And Dean, I want to get
into the machinery
1:00:29
of briefing the allied
and neutral governments.
1:00:31
I can assure you that every capitol
in the world is being informed.
1:00:33
What do we hear from London?
1:00:34
Bruce is scheduled to meet with
McMillon within the hour.
1:00:36
The President is anxious for
DeGaulle's reaction as well.
1:00:38
Acheson should be with him now.
1:00:40
Your President does me a great honor
1:00:42
sending me so distinguished an emissary.
1:00:45
Thank you, General DeGaulle.
1:00:47
Mr. Acheson, are you consulting me,
or informing me?
1:00:53
Informing you.
1:00:55
You may tell your President
that France will support him.
