A beautiful morning & very pleasant ride. Signed an exec. order calling for more ec. restraints on Panama & Gen. Noriega.

After lunch it was next to final day at Mt. Rhino—more pruning & cleaning up. T.V. news had our inc. tax on showing we paid less tax than last year on greater earnings. So we have tax reform & it works even for Presidents. Word came Judge sentenced Lyn Nofziger to 90 days in prison & $30,000 fine. I still say he did nothing wrong. Dinner & Early to bed.
