Awoke to the 1st sunshine we’ve seen since before leaving for Geneva. Did my radio stint on the Geneva meetings. After lunch a session of sorting out background papers on the trip. Some I will burn—some I’ll let Bud MacFarlane burn. Tomorrow Nancy leaves for the coast—engagements in S.F. & L.A. I leave Tues. I dont look forward to 3 days without her. She’ll get to the ranch Wed. We’re still sweating out our undercover effort to get hostages out of Beirut.
