1:10:02
Both you and we understand
what kind of weapons these are.

1:10:05
In order to eliminate
as rapidly as possible

1:10:08
the conflict which endangers the
cause of peace,

1:10:11
my government,
in addition to its previous instructions,

1:10:14
has issued a new order,
1:10:16
to dismantle the weapons
you regard as offensive,

1:10:18
to crate them and return them
to the Soviet Union.

1:10:22
I regard with respect and trust
1:10:25
the statement made in your message
that there would be no attack,

1:10:29
no invasion of Cuba.
1:10:31
Then the motives which induced us
to render assistance

1:10:34
of such a kind to Cuba, disappear.
1:10:38
We are confident that all people
will understand, Mr. President,

1:10:41
we are not threatening.
1:10:43
Our people have achieved
tremendous success

1:10:46
since the October revolution
1:10:48
and have created powerful material,
1:10:49
spiritual and cultural values.
1:10:52
We want to continue to achieve
and to develop

1:10:55
on the path of social progress
and the road to peace.

1:11:13
The United States verified the removal
1:11:15
of Soviet missiles and bombers from Cuba.
1:11:19
The American blockade ended.
1:11:22
Soviet forces destroyed
the missile bases,

1:11:25
and the land was plowed over.
1:11:28
Within two months,
1:11:30
not a trace remained
of the Missiles of October.

1:11:51
Who has the agenda?
1:11:55
Our problems are man made;
1:11:58
therefore, they can be solved by men.
