Executive Action Page #3

Well, I'm sorry, gentlemen,

I'm still unconvinced.

I agree with you

that the welfare of this country...

...is worth any man's life,

even the president's.

My advice,

for what it's worth to you, is wait.

I'll see you to your car.

Harold.

Harold.

Oh, before I took over

Transjordanian oil...

...my own intelligence men

had to eliminate a little local opposition.

I understand these things.

I just don't like them.

They're tolerable

only if they're necessary...

...and permissible only if they work.

Good day.

I was in charge

of that Transjordanian operation.

The hell.

Arranged it through

the German intelligence.

My technician on that job

is out there right now training Team B.

Okay, Lee, take her up.

Okay, Chris, take it up.

Okay, Jess. Take it up to 15 feet.

Hold it. That's good.

Okay, hold it. That's good.

Okay, that's good. Lock it off.

Start the action.

Fire.

I got three hits on target.

One hit on Number 2. A miss.

Seven seconds and two misses.

It's probably a kill,

but we're two seconds over time...

...so we'll have

to slow the target down.

With the most accurate rifle

on Earth...

...we've still got a two-inch spread

on either side for every hundred yards.

So at 20 miles an hour,

it's too much.

Yeah.

Let's get a beer.

Commencement exercises

at American University...

...gained world significance

when President Kennedy reveals...

...two major decisions

on Western relations with Russia.

Addressing the graduates...

...Mr. Kennedy makes a stirring plea

for world peace and says:

First, Chairman Khrushchev...

...Prime Minister Macmillan

and I have agreed...

...that high-level discussions

will shortly begin in Moscow...

...looking towards early agreement

on a comprehensive test-ban treaty.

I now declare that the United States...

...does not propose to conduct

nuclear tests in the atmosphere...

...so long as other states

do not do so.

This generation of Americans

has already had enough-

More than enough.

- of war and hate and oppression.

Jim, sit down.

- Are you hungry?

- Thanks, I've eaten.

How's the team?

Well, it can be done

in five or six seconds...

...but only if we slow the target down

to 15 miles an hour.

Otherwise, you take chances.

All right, we'll work on that.

- Any cover problems?

- No. No problems.

Supposed to be hunters and I take it

that's what we actually are.

Correct.

Here's your expense money.

Say, when you gonna throw

a little light on this play?

It's not quite a standard operation.

I may run as tight as you are.

You mean is that each of us

knows only his own job?

Put it in any words you like.

The company must be running
