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
Is 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.
