Should have saved the mail til today—had a lot of open space in the schedule. The Israeli cabinet meeting again—dont know what they’ll decide about Sharon & the investigation report calling for his ouster from govt. Cabinet meeting on Davis Bacon Act. A court ruled we cant change the regulations—do we try for legislation or appeal? I decided appeal—we couldn’t get a bill against the labor lobby through this Congress. This afternoon met with about 30 top C.E.O.’s re our budget I think we’ll have their support. They are afraid of another inflation binge meaning high interest rates. I told them we would “stay the course.” Photos with staffers from the East Wing & Rich Williams shop. Met with reps. of Builders Assn. As always they are with us & mighty pleased with our highway program.
