:58:00
will be defused immediately.
:58:04
No American nuclear weapons
will be armed to fire
:58:11
without a direct order from
the President of the United States.
:58:15
We're going to prepare possible
approaches short of war or surrender
:58:17
to the Jupiter missile situation
in Turkey and Italy.
:58:22
Pierre, make it clear to the press
:58:24
that we're close to invading Cuba.
:58:26
Summarize accurately and in detail
:58:28
the military forces we've assembled.
:58:30
Make it easy for Soviet intelligence
to see that we're serious.
:58:38
I want State to release
a statement acknowledging
:58:41
the receipt of two
inconsistent and conflicting
:58:44
proposals from Khrushchev.
:58:47
Reiterate our position in
no uncertain terms.
:58:51
Get Skally, brief him, instruct him,
:58:55
and send him back to Foreman.
:58:57
Yes, Mr. President.
:59:08
I have been with the
State Department people for hours.
:59:11
Foreman, what the hell
is going on in the Kremlin?
:59:13
Khrushchev's proposal today reneges
:59:14
on everything you suggested yesterday.
:59:17
Did you set me up to divert attention
:59:18
while your friends arranged
for the double-cross?
:59:22
Honestly, Skally, I am puzzled, too.
:59:25
My offer was genuine and in good faith.
:59:27
Then you're being used, too.
:59:28
I don't believe that.
:59:29
Whas the explanation?
:59:31
I think is a matter of
bad communications.
:59:33
The offer I submitted is
the latest offer.
:59:38
The other was drafted first
and delayed in the transmission.
:59:41
I don't believe that you people
:59:42
have brought the world to the brink
:59:44
because some teletype operator
screwed up.
:59:46
This is a dirty, stinking, double-cross,
:59:48
and one of the most colossal
misjudgments in history.
:59:51
We're going to get those missiles
out of Cuba,
:59:54
your time has run out.
:59:55
You killed one of our men,
and we think your military
:59:57
has given your people in Cuba
new instructions.
