Diary Entry - 03/06/1986
Key Facts
President Reagan receives the public report on the findings of the Vice President's Task Force on Combating Terrorism.
President Reagan places a call to James C. Fletcher, Distinguished Public Service Professor of Engineering and Technology, University of Pittsburgh.
Gave Don a job to see how we can get citizenship for Doria’s dad who has lived in Am. for 60 yrs. married to an American & father to 2 Am. offspring.
V.P. & Admiral who directed commission on terrorism presented me with the commissions report.
A good meeting with Trent Lotts Whip organization. The subject was the Nicaragua arms bill. I think they are revved up to really push it.
Geo. B. & I met briefly with one of the group who are raising money & putting commercials on T.V. promoting our program of support for the Nicaragua freedom fighters. He left with me a slick paper magazine—part of the Sandinista disinformation program. It’s a propaganda journal making the Sandinistas sound like a mix between Geo. W. & Abe L. The Freedom fighters of course are all Hitlers. Then I came upon the “subscription” envelope & there in black & white it said contributions & money for the magazine was tax deductible—we’re looking into that. The mag. H.Q. is Berkeley Calif.
A string of photos—Pat Jacobson, T. Turnage, our new Vet. Affairs director. Winners of the annual photographers awards & Mickey Gardner & his family.
Then a reception for Nat. Newspaper Assn. We had some fun.
Finally over to a fund raising reception—Sheraton Hotel for Sen. Frank Murkowski.
