1:04:05
80 million.
1:04:09
Mr. President.
1:04:10
Senator Fulbright.
1:04:12
Your entire constituency
could be wiped out
1:04:14
in the first 30 seconds.
1:04:16
I won't associate myself
1:04:17
with what has been said here.
1:04:19
Since it will be necessary to strike
Cuba and to invade it,
1:04:22
I think we should do so now, quickly
1:04:24
with the overwhelming power
which is still ours.
1:04:29
Let me get this straight
you're for an invasion of Cuba, Bill,
1:04:32
you and Senator Russell here,
is that correct?
1:04:35
Regretfully, Mr. President,
I think that your plan
1:04:38
for an embargo will fail in the end.
1:04:47
You know what they said in there,
1:04:49
oh, sure, we support you, Mr. President,
1:04:51
but is your decision, not ours.
1:04:53
And if things go wrong,
we'll knock your block off.
1:04:56
Maybe I ought to let them have
this lousy job.
1:04:58
Is too late for that now.
1:05:01
Have you ever noticed
when there's a large group of them,
1:05:03
they always follow the leader
with the biggest bomb?
1:05:07
Good evening, gentlemen.
1:05:09
Good evening, Mr. President.
1:05:12
I substituted strike for wipe out,
1:05:14
and deleted the reference
to mega tonnage.
1:05:16
Thank you, Ted.
1:05:20
Thank you, Mrs. Lincoln, thank you.
1:05:26
Thirty seconds, Mr. President.
1:05:29
Will I hear the introduction?
1:05:30
Yes, sir.
1:05:33
Speaking from the White House,
1:05:36
the President of the United States.
1:05:38
Good evening, my fellow citizens:
1:05:40
This Government, as promised,
1:05:42
has maintained the closest surveillance
1:05:45
of the Soviet military buildup
on the island of Cuba.
1:05:49
Within the past week,
1:05:51
unmistakable evidence has
established the fact
1:05:53
that a series of offensive missile sites
1:05:56
is now in preparation
on that imprisoned island.
1:05:59
The purpose of these bases
can be none other
