:18:04
I'll do it
:18:08
It's too politicized with you
in there anyway
:18:10
They need to be able to
stick their necks out
:18:12
Yeah. It'll be the principals
:18:14
a couple of they key guys
from each department
:18:16
The Executive Committee
of the National Security Council
:18:20
We'll can it EXCOM
:18:23
Okay
:18:25
So I'm only gonna show
for the meetings that you call me into
:18:28
Impress us
:18:30
Did it fast
:18:32
Kenny, you're in charge of
keeping this thing quiet
:18:35
If word gets out
before we know what we're gonna do
:18:36
there's gonna be panic
:18:39
And it's gonna ruin any chance
:18:40
we might have of surprise
if we decide to hit them
:18:42
We're gonna need to
do a few things right away
:18:45
No Pierre
:18:47
He knows, the press knows
:18:50
And you're gonna have to
keep up your schedule
:18:52
Your movements
are followed too closely
:18:54
George Ball's
got a conference room at State
:18:56
Good
:18:57
You meet over there this afternoon
:18:59
We'll figure out a way to
sneak you guys back in here tonight
:19:01
I think we should
bring in Dean Acheson
:19:05
Ken
:19:06
he was fighting Soviets while we were
still playing ball together at school
:19:12
Find him, Kenny
:19:15
We're gonna need
all the help we can get
:19:18
Screw secrecy
:19:25
Try having that fat-ass, sit on your
lap all the way from Foggy Bottom
:19:30
You were excited. I say no more
:19:33
Everybody agrees
the diplomatic route won't work
:19:36
It's too slow and they'll finish the
missiles while we're still talking
:19:40
I hear old Warren Harding
used to get his grills in through here
:19:44
We have 850 planes
assembling at Homestead
:19:47
Eglin, Opa Locka, MacDill
Partick, Pensacola, and Key West
:19:54
Due to the tropical foliage
:19:56
the OPLAN calls for high explosive
:19:58
and napalm loadouts
for our ground attack sorties
