Crisis Negotiations During the Cuban Missile Crisis
Robert Kennedy At this moment the President is accepting the terms of Secretary Khrushchev's letter of Friday night. If the Soviet Union halts construction immediately, removes the missiles, and submits to UN inspections, the United States will pledge to never invade Cuba, or to aid others in that enterprise.
Anatoly Dobrynin If your Jupiter missiles in Turkey were removed also, such an accommodation could be reached.
RFK That's not possible. The United States cannot agree to such terms under threat. Any belief to the contrary was in error.

Orders for Avoiding Combat in Crisis
Kenny O'Donnell The president has instructed me to pass along an order to you. You are not to get shot down.
Commander William B. Ecker Uh, we'll do our best, sir.
O'Donnell I don't think you understand me, Commander. You are not to get shot down under any circumstances. Whatever happens up there, you were not shot at. Mechanical failures are fine, crashing into mountains fine. But you and your men are not to be shot at, fired at, or launched upon.
