Alexander Fomin:
So I understand you correctly, if the missiles in Cuba were dismantled - returned to the Soviet Union - and a guarantee was made not to reintroduce them, the United States would be prepared to guarantee that it would never invade Cuba.
John Scali:
That is correct.
Alexander Fomin:
And this is from the highest authority?
John Scali:
Yes - *the* highest authority. There are two conditions. The UN must be allowed to inspect the removal of the missiles.
Alexander Fomin:
Of course, the UN must also be allowed to observe the redeployment of forces from the American Southeast.
John Scali:
I can't speak to that.
[Fomin smirks]
Alexander Fomin:
What's the second condition, John?
John Scali:
Time is of the essence.
Alexander Fomin:
How much time?
John Scali:
Forty-eight hours. In forty-eight hours, there can be no deals.
