"We've got a blockade with/without a declaration of war..We've got invasion. We've got notification of Khrushchev."

"Before, we send a message to Khrushchev saying, "We're going to have to do it. You ought to get the Russians out within the next 12 hours."

"We go ahead Saturday and we take them out & we announce that they've been taken out. If any more are put in we're going to take those out."

"Lets just say this...tomorrow afternoon, I'd announce the existence of these missiles, and say that we're calling Congress back."

McNamara: When we're talking about Berlin, what do you mean exactly? That they take it with Soviet troops?

Unidentified: My guess is that he {Khrushchev} would not immediately attack Berlin, but he would precipitate the real crisis.

Thompson: If we did this blockade...and Castro attacked Guantanamo and so on, you've got a much better position to go in and take him out.

Robert Kennedy: The argument against the blockade is that it's a very slow death, and it builds up, and goes over a period of months.

"Under this plan, we would not have to take these missiles that they now have out, or the planes they now have out."

Thompson: I think it's very highly doubtful that the Russians would resist a blockade against military weapons, particularly offensive ones.

Thompson: My preference is this blockade plan, this declaration of war, and the these steps leading up to it.

Rusk: In the case of Korea, we had an organized large-scale aggression from North Korea, and we were going in with the UN blessing.

Rusk: We had a clear conscience in World War II, the Pearl Harbor attack up against the background of Hitler's conduct.
