Quarintiners

Khrushchev replies to the letter of the 23'rd.
"You, Mr. President, are not declaring a quarantine, but rather are setting forth an ultimatum and threatening that if we do not give in to your demands you will use force. Consider what you are saying! And you want to persuade me to agree to this! What would it mean to agree to these demands? It would mean guiding oneself in one's relations with other countries not by reason, but by submitting to arbitrariness. You are no longer appealing to reason, but wish to intimidate us." -
Another request
John F Kennedy once agian asks Khrushchev to remove or de activate missiles that are now opperational on cuba. The presedent decides to only let petroleum products through the quarintine.
