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.

1:05:00
You're presenting me with an ultimatum.
1:05:02
A statement of fact, Mr. Ambassador.
1:05:04
In my personal opinion,
1:05:05
my government is deeply committed
to our Cuban allies.

1:05:10
I don't think you're offering
Chairman Khrushchev enough.

1:05:12
We are offering the Chairman
a peaceful solution

1:05:14
to a problem he created.
1:05:15
You must agree to give up
your base in Turkey.

1:05:18
No, no, thas not gonna happen now.
1:05:20
The Turkish bases might not
offer too many problems

1:05:23
in negotiations once this
crisis has passed, but not now.

1:05:26
I am very pessimistic.
1:05:31
We're committed.
1:05:35
So are we.
1:05:47
Dave are you sure your wife doesn't mind
1:05:50
being home alone at a time like this?
1:05:53
She's used to it.
1:05:56
Thas impossible.
1:05:58
There's never been a time like this.
