1:06:03
How'd it go?
1:06:08
Not well.
1:06:11
Dobrynin's frightened,
tired, scared, he's like me,

1:06:14
he's like all of us.
1:06:16
I want a leg.
1:06:17
There's no more legs.
1:06:19
Terrific.
1:06:28
Dobrynin feels that,
1:06:30
Khrushchev is too committed
to go along with our letter.

1:06:33
Thas the word he used, committed.
1:06:34
He used it twice.
1:06:36
Did you tell him we were going to
invade on Monday?

1:06:38
Yes.
1:06:40
What did he say?
1:06:42
That they were committed.
1:06:46
Was he telling the truth?
1:06:48
Was I?
1:07:06
Dave, the way you're eating my chicken
and drinking my wine,

1:07:10
anybody would think it was
your last meal.

1:07:13
Well, the way Bobby's been talking,
1:07:14
I think maybe it is.
1:07:16
There are a total of 24
troop carrier squadrons

1:07:20
in the Air Force Reserve.
1:07:25
How soon can they be called up?
1:07:29
lmmediately.
1:07:32
Have your department make the
announcement to the press.

1:07:35
The Soviets will interpret it
as a prelude to invasion.

1:07:39
Exactly.
1:07:42
Bob, you and Maxwell meet with
General Sweeny

1:07:45
first thing in the morning
and go over the air strike planning.

1:07:48
Have an invasion scenario set for me
by the afternoon.

1:07:52
Yes, Mr. President.
1:07:54
Shouldn't we have approved
the tentative timetable

1:07:56
for the initial air strike
on the assumption.

1:07:58
No!
1:07:59
Mr. President -
