Bundy spoke up. " You know Mr President the Republicans are going to say you knew about the missiles for weeks".

" You know I only knew about these missiles a week ago".

" How did they know?".

Bobby spoke up. " From the CIA people in Miami".

" They can claim anything they want". Cone frowned. " They have no specifics".

Bobby spoke up again. " The Quarantine should be aimed at the Soviets not Cuba". His voice hesitated. " I also think we should have United Nations inspectors overseeing the missile sites".

President Kennedy shook his head. " No, I don't think they would serve no real purpose". He frowned. " I know what Khrushchev will say?".

" What's that Mr President?".

" He'll say invade Cuba we'll fire the missiles".

Bobby looked at Jack. " That means nuclear war".
