The Soviet Union offers a counterproposal. They will accept the terms if the United States will also agree covertly to remove the missiles from Turkey.
| Accept the counteroffer | Peace is the primary goal, and this offer is acceptable. You have been prepared since the beginning to sacrifice the missiles in Turkey. Now is your chance to end the conflict and return to normalcy. |
| Reject the counteroffer | The Soviet Union is the aggressor in this situation, and the conflict should end on US terms, not Soviet terms. Your offer was more than fair. |
