Most important part of day—addressed the House Repub. Conf. at the Capitol Hill Club. It went well. I took Q’s. which revealed some of what troubled them. I think their greatest prob. is that they see us dealing with the Repub. leadership of the Sen. & the Dem. leadership of the House. Well there is some truth to this but it’s because the Dems. are the majority in the House & we cant get anything done if they dont go along. However I think we could have done more to communicate with our Repubs. & go to the Dem. leadership with Repub. support already in line.

Had to motor to Camp David.
