1:07:00
of the Organization of American States.
1:07:03
Sixth: We are asking tonight
for an emergency meeting
1:07:07
of the Security Council
of the United Nations.
1:07:11
President Kennedy has gone mad.
1:07:13
Seventh and finally:
I call upon Chairman Khrushchev
1:07:16
to halt and eliminate this clandestine,
1:07:19
reckless and provocative threat
to world peace
1:07:22
and stable relations
between our two countries.
1:07:25
The cost of freedom is high,
1:07:28
but Americans have always paid the price.
1:07:31
And one path we shall never choose
1:07:33
is one of surrender, submission.
1:07:36
Our goal is not the victory of might,
1:07:39
but the vindication of right,
1:07:41
not peace at the expense of freedom,
1:07:44
but both peace and freedom,
here in this hemisphere,
1:07:47
and, we hope, around the world.
1:07:50
God willing, that goal will be achieved.
1:08:09
The eighth day of the
Missiles of October.
1:08:12
The US Tactical Air Force command
1:08:14
from commanding officer
47th Attack Squadron,
1:08:17
all aircraft fully ready,
fully armed, and on air alert.
1:08:22
Gentlemen, as a result of yesterday's
U-2 flight,
1:08:28
we've counted 42 medium-range
nuclear missiles unpacked,
1:08:32
in position on erectors,
and prepared for launching.
1:08:40
Also, there's detailed evidence
that elements of the surface
1:08:45
to air missile system are operational.
1:08:51
Yes.
1:08:54
Yes, thank you.
1:08:57
George, what have you got?
1:08:59
Still nothing from Khrushchev,
