1:12:01
Ted, I've been hearing that for hours.
1:12:02
Mr. President,
each of the Latin American ambassadors
1:12:04
has to call back to his capitol
for instructions.
1:12:06
But I thought you arranged for
special lines, Pierre?
1:12:08
Yes, sir, I did,
but some of the ambassadors
1:12:09
haven't been able to get through yet.
1:12:11
My dad should have bought
the telephone company
1:12:13
when he had the chance.
1:12:14
Mr. President.
1:12:15
Les have it, George.
1:12:16
The O AS vote is complete,
1:12:17
Latin America voted 19 to nothing
in favor of our resolution.
1:12:19
Congratulations, George.
1:12:21
Thas marvelous.
1:12:22
Congratulate Ed Martin and Rusk for me.
1:12:24
Even Bolivia went along,
and only Uruguay abstained
1:12:26
because the ambassador
couldn't get through to Montevideo.
1:12:28
Pierre, turn up the tube.
1:12:29
Yes, sir.
1:12:30
Stevenson doesn't seem to know
about the O AS vote.
1:12:33
- is not that it is revolutionary,
1:12:35
not that it is socialist,
1:12:37
and not even because Dr. Castro
perverted a noble revolution.
1:12:39
We object because he has aided
and abetted an invasion
1:12:43
of this hemisphere.
1:12:45
Whas going on up there?
1:12:46
Stevenson doesn't seem to know
about the O AS vote.
1:12:48
Dr. Castro has given the Soviet Union
1:12:50
a bridgehead, and staging area,
1:12:52
and has invited an extra continental,
1:12:54
anti-democratic expansionist
power - excuse me.
1:13:00
All right, Harlon, he just got the note.
1:13:02
Thank you.
1:13:05
I have just been informed
that the Organization of American States
1:13:07
this afternoon adopted a resolution
by 19 affirmative votes
1:13:11
calling for the immediate dismantling
and withdrawal
1:13:14
from Cuba of all missiles
and other weapons
1:13:16
with any offensive capabilities.
1:13:19
This is a solemn and significant day
1:13:21
for the life of the United Nations,
1:13:23
and for the hope of the world community.
1:13:26
Let it be remembered not as
the day when the world
1:13:28
came to the edge of nuclear war,
1:13:30
but as the day when men resolved
that nothing thereafter
1:13:33
would stop them in their quest for peace.
1:13:37
Dear Adlai,
I watched your speech this afternoon
1:13:39
with great satisfaction.
1:13:42
Is given our cause a great start.
1:13:45
The United States is fortunate
to have your advocacy.
1:13:52
You have my warm and personal thanks.
