Went over to the E.O.B. & spoke briefly to the leadership of the Nat. Conf. of St. Legislators. Geo. B. & I then had lunch in the Oval O. Spent 2 hours in the Family Theatre again, revving up for the Press conf.
The press conf. went well although I thought the questions were rather pedestrian & didn’t make for much news. All this time a blackmail attempt was being made in the Sen. by Democrats trying to link Ed Meeses confirmation to a costly bailout for the farmers. Bob Dole stood firm in the face of their filibuster.
