:30:01
in a half a dozen capitols.
:30:03
People are marching against us
in London, Paris,
:30:05
Hong Kong, Tokyo.
:30:07
Not to mention the communist countries,
most American cities,
:30:09
and also a couple of hundred -
:30:11
It is a frustrating situation here.
:30:13
Dammit.
:30:15
Go ahead, Pierre.
:30:18
Go ahead.
:30:22
The feeling runs deep
that we're not telling the truth.
:30:25
Good people suspect that
we're provoking this crisis,
:30:27
and I think we have an obligation
to answer.
:30:35
Mr. President, is Stevenson and
Rusk on a conference call.
:30:38
I'll need John McCoy, also.
:30:40
Yes Sir.
:30:41
Pierre, where do you think you're going?
:30:44
Sit down, light up a cigar.
:30:48
Hello, Adlai.
:30:51
President Kennedy claimed to have
incontrovertible information
:30:54
that offensive weapon sites were
in preparation in Cuba.
:30:57
He claimed to have incontrovertible
facts in his hands,
:31:01
but no such facts exist.
:31:03
The government of the United States
has no facts in its hand,
:31:05
except falsified information
:31:07
from the United States
Intelligence Agency.
:31:10
Falsity is what the United States
has in its hand, false evidence.
:31:16
The government of the United States
:31:18
has deliberately intensified the crisis,
:31:20
deliberately prepared this provocation,
:31:22
and has tried to cover up,
by means of this discussion
:31:25
in the Security Council.
:31:28
Such steps can lead to
catastrophic consequences
:31:32
for the whole world.
:31:34
I want to say to you, Mr. Zorin,
:31:36
that I do not have your
talent for obfuscation,
:31:38
for distortion, for confusing language
and for double talk.
:31:43
And I must confess to you that
I am glad I do not.
:31:45
The other day, Mr. Zorin,
I remind you that you did not deny
:31:48
the existence of these weapons in Cuba.
:31:51
Instead, we heard
that they were defensive weapons,
:31:54
now you say they do not exist,
:31:56
or that we have not proved they exist,
:31:58
with another fine flood of
rhetorical scorn.
