Diary Entry - 02/03/1982
Key Facts
President Reagan holds a ceremonial meeting with President Hosni Mubarak of Egypt.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that severe snowstorms and record cold have led to more than 300 deaths across the US in January.
A rainy day so Pres. Moubarak’s greeting was in the East room. Our 1st meeting following the ceremonial was just the 2 of us in the Oval office. I had a whole program of subjects I intended to bring up. He began explaining his situation with the Soviets and I listened. But I guess the script will be taken up by others because he has meetings scheduled with Al, Cap, Don R., Bill Casey & others. Tonite the State Dinner and an Israeli violinist for entertainment. A whole afternoon at the desk, mainly doing mail. The dinner was a great success—including the debut of the new china—very handsome. The whole evening was warm, relaxed & friendly.
