President Merkin Muffley:
And why haven't you radioed the planes countermanding the go-code?
General "Buck" Turgidson:
Well, I'm afraid we're unable to communicate with any of the aircraft.
President Merkin Muffley:
Why?
General "Buck" Turgidson:
As you may recall, sir, one of the provisions of Plan 'R' provides that once the go-code is received, the normal SSB Radios in the aircraft are switched into a special coded device which I believe is designated as CRM-114. Now, in order to prevent the enemy from issuing fake or confusing orders, CRM-114 is designed not to receive at all - unless the message is preceded by the correct three-letter recall code group prefix.
President Merkin Muffley:
Then do you mean to tell me, General Turgidson, that you will be unable to recall the aircraft?
General "Buck" Turgidson:
That's about the size of it. However, we are plowing through every possible three-letter combination of the code. But since there are 17,000 permutations... it's going to take us about two-and-a-half days to transmit them all.
President Merkin Muffley:
How soon did you say our planes will be entering Russian radar cover?
General "Buck" Turgidson:
About 18 minutes from now, sir.
