St. Patrick’s day. A shamrock tie from Margaret Heckler & one from Tip O’Neil. Lunch on Capitol hill as Tips guest. About 30 people including F.M. Barry & Ambas. O’Sullivan of Ireland. Tip is a true pol. He can really like you personally & be a friend while politically trying to beat your head in. After lunch—to the Irish embassy for a reception. I’m talking with a brogue already. From all that to a meeting with Al Seigle & Max Fisher on Israel problems & our own Jewish community. Max is a regular visitor to the Middle East. I’ve arranged for him to report to me on return from those trips. Finished the day meeting 5 Ambassadors newly arrived & picture Sessions with staff of 3 depts.
