:00:00
You have my warm and personal thanks.
:00:03
Work must continue around the clock
:00:04
on the Cuban installations.
:00:06
The fact that Kennedy
has discovered our activity
:00:08
has no bearing on the legitimacy.
:00:10
International law has not been repealed.
:00:13
Our ships have the right
to sail on the high seas,
:00:15
we will protect that right.
:00:19
Diplomatic struggles will go on
in the United Nations
:00:22
and around the world.
:00:23
The American blockade, illegal.
:00:26
Our efforts to defend Cuba
are just a viable response
:00:29
to American aggression.
:00:31
We will defend our ships.
:00:32
Mr. Chairman, in view of the vote
:00:34
of the Organization of American States -
:00:36
The blockade is illegal.
:00:37
The governments of Africa and Asia
will not be influenced
:00:40
by the opinion of
the Latin American puppets
:00:41
of the United States.
:00:43
Comrade Chairman, if I may.
:00:45
The thrust of the American argument
:00:47
is that we surreptitiously
:00:48
placed offensive nuclear
missiles in Cuba.
:00:51
We did not.
:00:52
We deny it?
:00:54
Certainly we deny it.
:00:55
The weapons we've placed there
:00:56
have been for defensive purposes.
:00:58
And that is what Zorin is to say
at the United Nations?
:01:01
He's to say that the Sovies
rockets and missiles
:01:03
are so powerful there's no need
to seek a launching site
:01:06
for them outside the territory
of the Soviet Union.
:01:09
The Soviet Union appeals to
all the peoples of the world
:01:11
to raise their voices in defense of
the United Nations.
:01:15
It appeals to them to vote against
the United States' policy
:01:18
of piracy, banditry and
the unleashing of a nuclear war.
:01:27
From Commander Task Force 136 to
US Chief of Naval Operations,
:01:30
Task Force blockade rendezvous complete.
:01:33
Combat air patrols on station.
:01:35
All units full readiness status.
:01:42
We've intercepted a series of coded
Soviet naval messages.
:01:46
Now we can't decipher them,
but we've traced them
:01:48
to a Soviet submarine fleet
moving into the Caribbean.
:01:52
How large a fleet, how many submarines?
:01:55
We can't estimate that yet, sir,
:01:57
but there's no doubt that
they're assembling
:01:59
to escort and protect
those 25 Soviet merchant ships
