Key Facts
President Reagan meets with Zulu Chief of South Africa Gatsha Buthelezi.
President Reagan presents copies of the 1986 budget to the House and Senate Leadership.
Met with So. African Chief of Zulus, Gatsha Buthelezi. He’s a very impressive man—well educated & while dedicated to ending apartheid in S. Africa still is well balanced & knows it will take time. I’d quoted him in my own speeches before I ever met him.
Presented the copies of the budget to the appropriate House & Sen. leaders of both parties. Then took them over to the East Rm. & spoke to about 100 others. In the afternoon I asked the help of about 150 private sector leaders in the same East Rm. & ended the afternoon speaking to the Convention of National Religious Broadcasters at the Sheraton Wash. Hotel. They were so warm in their reception I almost puddled up.
