:53:03
I couldn't
:53:09
We're getting the Soviet response
:53:11
It's coming in on the teletype
:53:14
"The community of nations recognizes"
:53:16
"the fundamental right
of freedom of the seas... "
:53:18
THis is horseshit
:53:21
I agree
:53:29
They don't know how to respond yet
:53:32
So now you're Kruschev
:53:35
What do you do?
:53:41
You run the blockade
:53:44
They'll run the blockade
:53:45
Which is what they appear to
be preparing to do, Mr. President
:53:49
We're tracking 26 ships
inbound for Cuba
:53:52
They show no sign of changing course
:53:54
The closest ships
the Gagarin and the Kimovsk
:53:57
will make the quarantine line
by this time tomorrow
:54:00
Admiral Anderson
if the ships do not stop
:54:03
exactly what are
our rules of engagement?
:54:06
Russian- speaking personnel
have been transferred to our ships
:54:09
When the quarantine
takes place in the morning
:54:11
our ships will attempt radio contact
with approaching vessels
:54:15
They'll be ordered to reduce speed
and stand by for inspection
:54:19
An inspection team will then
board and search the vessel
:54:22
If weapons are found, the ship will be
ordered out of the quarantine area
:54:26
If they refuse
:54:27
they'll be towed into the nearest port
:54:29
What if the ship doesn't stop
for inspection or want to be towed?
:54:32
We fire a warning shot
across their bow
:54:35
And what happens
if the ship ignores the warning shot?
:54:37
Wen then fire at its rudder
:54:40
disable it
and carry on our inspection
:54:41
There will be no shooting
without my explicit orders
:54:45
Is that understood?
:54:47
Yes sir
:54:48
Well, Admiral
looks like it's up to the navy
:54:50
The navy won't let you down, sir
:54:52
There is one other thing
Mr. President
:54:54
We're commencing low-level photography
runs over Cuba this morning
:54:57
It'll be more detailed
than the U-2 photography
