1:03:00
Is very tricky, it all depends
1:03:01
on whether Khrushchev can
extricate himself.
1:03:03
And whether he wants to
extricate himself.
1:03:04
Bobby, if you disagree so violently
with State's letter,
1:03:06
draft one of your own.
1:03:07
Thank you, sir.
1:03:08
Ted?
1:03:09
Make it clear
that if they remove the bases
1:03:12
and the missiles under UN supervision,
1:03:14
we'll negotiate an agreement
not to invade Cuba now
1:03:16
or in the future.
1:03:17
Yes, sir.
1:03:18
It will be said that we've
broken our pledge
1:03:20
to help the Cuban people
regain their freedom.
1:03:22
I'm not negotiating for the Cuban people.
1:03:25
This involves the security
of the United States
1:03:27
and all of our allies.
1:03:29
I'm trying to get out from under a war.
1:03:32
Our power is not infinite,
we have limits.
1:03:35
Les try it.
1:03:36
Bobby, Ted, go write the letter.
1:03:38
Thank you, sir.
1:03:42
Thank you for the information.
1:03:56
Major Anderson had a son
just about John's age.
1:04:03
I hope somebody will be able
to tell him some day
1:04:06
why he died, what cause,
for what purpose.
1:04:18
The first draft of the letter,
Mr. President.
1:04:19
Thank you, Mrs. Lincoln.
1:04:31
I'm having Salinger release this
as soon as we're finished.
1:04:35
I want the public to know our terms.
1:04:41
Bobby, you'll deliver a copy
personally to Dobrynin.
1:04:48
Tell him that if we don't get
a reply from Khrushchev
1:04:53
in the next 36 hours,
we'll start military action.
