:33:01
Mr. Gromyko! This way, please!
:33:09
Robert
:33:11
Hugh, how are you?
:33:16
Excuse me, Joan
:33:18
So, tell me about this military
exercise going on in Puerto Rico

:33:21
What?
:33:22
It's called... ORTSAC, I believe
:33:24
Castro spelled backwards
:33:26
ORTSAC?
:33:28
I don't know what you're talking about
:33:30
Me either
:33:31
Why?
:33:32
Because maybe the President
and Gromyko are gonna talk about it

:33:35
You're trying to drum something up
Johnny. Forget it

:33:37
This meeting's been
on the books for months

:33:40
Far as I know, it's just a friendly
talk on U. S -Soviet relations

:33:47
Mr. President!
Will you make a statement, sir?

:33:50
Alright, hold it, fellas
:33:52
You'll get your pictures
:33:54
Does it?
:33:58
I'll be damned
:34:02
Kind of simple for the Pentagon
:34:14
Mr. Gromyko
:34:16
Hold on one minute
:34:23
Gentlemen
would you mind shaking hands?

:34:27
So that there should be
no misunderstanding

:34:30
the position of the United States
:34:32
which has been made clear
by the Attorney General

:34:33
to Ambassador Dobrynin here
:34:35
I shall read a sentence
from my statement

:34:36
to the press dated September 13th
:34:39
"Should missiles or offensive weapon
be placed in Cuba"

:34:43
"it would present the gravest threat
to U. S. national security"

:34:47
Mr. President
:34:48
as Premier Kruschev's own statement
of September 13th assured you

:34:52
our military assistance to Cuba
:34:54
is of a defensive nature only
