:18:01
The weapons we have furnished
include anti aircraft

:18:04
and ballistic missiles,
:18:05
with conventional and
thermonuclear warheads.

:18:08
If you want to satisfy yourself
on that point,

:18:10
all you have to do is to attack Cuba,
:18:12
Americans will find out very quickly.
:18:14
I am not interested in
the destruction of the world.

:18:16
But if we all want to meet in hell,
is up to you.

:18:20
In public, the Russians deny
they have any missiles in Cuba,

:18:22
while Khrushchev brags about them
in private.

:18:25
If they're this mean on this one
in our part of world,

:18:28
whas it gonna be like next time
somewhere else?

:18:31
If you hadn't acted,
I think you would have been impeached.

:18:35
Thas what I think,
I would have been impeached.

:18:41
We congratulate Premier Khrushchev
:18:44
for his statesman like conduct.
:18:46
We demand that President Kennedy halt
:18:49
his illegal and provocative actions.
:18:51
We call upon people everywhere
throughout the world to join us

:18:56
in demanding that the United States
stop its nuclear madness.

:19:04
As Secretary General
of the United Nations,

:19:06
I have been asked by
a large number of member nations

:19:09
to address an urgent appeal
in the present critical situation.

:19:12
It is important that
time should be given to enable

:19:16
the parties concerned
to get together with a view

:19:19
to resolving the present crisis
peacefully.

:19:22
This involves the voluntary suspension
of quarantine measures

:19:25
involving the searching of
ships bound for Cuba.

:19:30
I believe that such voluntary suspension
:19:32
for a period of two or three weeks
:19:34
would greatly ease the situation.
:19:36
Two or three weeks.
:19:38
Go ahead, please.
:19:42
Mr. President,
this is a bunker for a nuclear warhead,

:19:44
the first one we spotted above ground.
:19:49
Can we increase the surveillance flights?
:19:53
Yes, if we use Navy P8U planes.
:19:56
They fly at low levels, Mr. President.
:19:58
They'll make easy and obvious targets.
