1:09:01
no statements or military moves
anywhere in the world.
1:09:04
Why hasn't Khrushchev moved?
1:09:06
Russia's been caught
with its missiles hanging out,
1:09:08
they're stalling in order to
look like honest,
1:09:10
peace loving citizens,
1:09:12
while we shape up like
outrageous militarists.
1:09:15
General, what happens if one of our
U-2 planes is shot down?
1:09:20
We knock out all their SAMs.
1:09:23
Massive air strike.
1:09:25
We're sending our men up,
we have an obligation to protect them.
1:09:29
Yes, just as the Cubans feel an
obligation to shoot them down.
1:09:32
Bob, how long will it take
to launch a retaliatory raid?
1:09:36
Two hours.
1:09:38
Very well, we're not going to overreact.
1:09:43
If one of our U-2's is hit,
1:09:45
we'll knock out the appropriate
SAM installation.
1:09:48
But no such attack will occur
1:09:49
until all of the facts
have been verified,
1:09:51
then only on my specific orders,
is that clear?
1:09:54
Yes, Mr. President.
1:09:55
George?
1:09:56
Yes, sir.
1:09:57
The State Department will have to
arrange for regular consultations
1:10:00
with all of the ambassadors from
the NATO countries.
1:10:02
Yes, sir.
1:10:04
We're going to have to
prepare on the assumption
1:10:06
that Khrushchev is going to
move in Berlin
1:10:08
before this thing goes much further.
1:10:18
Mr. President,
1:10:20
Khrushchev's response is coming in now.
1:10:22
President Kennedy of the United States
1:10:24
last night announced that he had
instructed the United States Navy
1:10:28
to intercept all ships
proceeding to Cuba.
1:10:34
Undertaking such a gamble,
1:10:37
the United States is taking a step
on the road
1:10:39
of unleashing a thermonuclear world war.
1:10:43
United States usurped the right
to attack ships
1:10:48
of other states on the high seas,
that is, to engage in piracy.
1:10:52
We hope Chairman Khrushchev
has not made a miscalculation,
1:10:56
that he has not mistaken forbearance
for weakness.
1:10:59
We cannot believe he supposes
