:40:00
My government would agree to dismantle
:40:02
and to move the offensive weapons
in Cuba,
:40:04
promise never to reintroduce
such weapons,
:40:06
and agree to United Nations
inspection and verification.
:40:12
And my government?
:40:15
President Kennedy would undertake
a solemn promise
:40:17
that neither the United States
nor its allies
:40:19
will invade Cuba now or in the future.
:40:25
A pledge to respect the integrity
of the Castro regime?
:40:30
Yes.
:40:32
Would your government be interested
in this formula?
:40:36
I don't know.
:40:38
You must find out as quickly as possible.
:40:43
How can my government know
if this is a serious,
:40:46
a valid proposal?
:40:49
You may say if Ambassador Stevenson
pursues this approach
:40:52
in the United Nations,
our Ambassador Zorin
:40:54
will be most receptive.
:40:58
How long will it take you
to get an answer from your contacts?
:41:01
Again, I don't know.
:41:05
You can reach me at the embassy,
:41:07
or at the number on this card.
:41:11
You can call any time, day or night,
:41:14
but make it soon, please, soon.
:41:29
John, the Secretary is sorry
to keep you waiting,
:41:35
but these things take time,
:41:37
as you well know.
:41:38
He'll get back to you
as soon as possible.
:41:40
I have to wait.
:41:42
So do we all, sorry.
:41:51
Skally, what the hell are you doing here?
:41:54
This is out of bounds for reporters,
:41:55
you know that as well as I do.
:41:57
I am an exception.
:41:58
Well, not by me.
:41:59
Now what are you doing here?
