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.
1:01:00
I think that in the circumstance,
1:01:02
President Kennedy has no other choice.
1:01:12
From what altitude were these taken?
1:01:15
Fourteen miles.
1:01:18
Why, in your opinion,
1:01:20
did the Soviets take this action?
1:01:23
They gambled, sir.
1:01:25
Without cause?
1:01:28
Is perhaps not flattering to
my own government
1:01:32
for me to say that the Soviets have been
1:01:34
led to believe they could
get away with it.
1:01:40
Fourteen miles, remarkable.
1:01:46
Mr. President,
State wants the speech revised
1:01:48
to base our legal right to quarantine
on the hemispheric right
1:01:50
to self defense through
the Organization of American States,
1:01:53
rather than on Article 50
of the UN Charter.
1:01:55
The U-2 surveillance flights
have been increased
1:01:56
to seven per day.
1:01:58
This allows the hands at
San Cristobal are now operational.
