:10:01
I cannot accept that.
:10:02
You must accept the fact, Mr. Dobrynin,
:10:04
that the missiles are there,
:10:06
and President Kennedy would never allow
those bases to stand in Cuba.
:10:08
There's no threat to peaceful
relations between us.
:10:11
There is, and the President
will not tolerate
:10:13
this breach of trust, this act of war,
:10:16
taken at the very moment
when men we've come to trust,
:10:18
men like yourself have been insuring us
:10:20
of your peaceful intentions.
:10:22
I was not my intention to
mislead President Kennedy.
:10:25
And now, can you communicate
Chairman Khrushchev's
:10:29
intentions now without, misleading us?
:10:32
All I can say now is that my government,
:10:34
my government considers
the blockade illegal,
:10:39
and unwarranted.
:10:41
I can assure you the blockade was
the most moderate,
:10:43
response we could devise.
:10:45
A act of war, we're attempting to react
:10:48
as sensibly as possible.
:10:50
Let me ask you this question directly,
Mr. Dobrynin,
:10:54
are your ships going to try
to get through to Cuba?
:10:57
Yes, the captains have received
those instructions.
:11:01
President Kennedy wants
the Chairman to know
:11:03
that if your ships try to get through,
:11:05
we will turn them back.
:11:08
That suggests a very harsh picture.
:11:12
Well, is a statement of fact.
:11:14
We don't want to mislead
Chairman Khrushchev.
:11:16
Surely, there is some other message
you wish to convey,
:11:18
some basis for negotiation?
:11:20
At the moment, none.
:11:22
We will turn your ships back.
:11:24
I don't want to be accused again
of misleading the President.
:11:30
The Chairman will
take appropriate action.
:11:34
And so will the President.
:11:37
Your facts are perfectly clear.
:11:40
But you haven't made them public.
:11:41
Whatever uninformed public opinion
may be,
:11:43
those Soviet bases exist.
:11:45
Some of your closest allies and
friends are not convinced.
:11:51
Even Ugateson talks about
so-called missiles in Cuba.
:11:56
Do you prefer an air strike or
an invasion?
