Breakfast with Repub. Congressional Sophomore Class. They really are a bunch—39 who are here because they want to make this country right. Had lunch with George who has discovered the floor of his office in E.O.B. has a magnificent inlaid parquet now covered by carpet. You wonder who had that brilliant idea. Helicoptered to Walter Reed Hosp. & visited Sen. Bob Dole. He should be out in a few more days but he’s had a rough time. Wound up the day with a reception for the Nat. Newspaper Assn. Before that however Walter Annenberg presented me with a magnificent set of bronze figures—each one an example of the history of the Western Saddle beginning with a Spanish saddle of 1545.
