Diary Entry - 04/15/1986
Key Facts
President Reagan places a call to former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger.
President Reagan addresses the American Business Conference.
The United States launches an air raid with F-111 warplanes against Libya.
An easy day but I’m told tomorrow will make up for it. Of course the entire atmosphere has to do with Libya. Public support is massive. The morning was taken up with study & analysis of the attack. We fear one bomb was off target & caused civilian casualties. At the same time it’s possible it wasn’t our bomb but one of their anti aircraft missiles that came down & exploded. One of our aircraft is missing an F-111 with crew of 2.
In the afternoon I went over to E.O.B. & made a brief speech to the Am. Business Conf. Then an interview with Edmund Morris for my biography which he is doing. Then a lovely evening with Nancy in N.Y.
