Day started with a msg. from Wash.—the budget passed out by Sen. does not do what it should. I’ll wait & see what happens in Conf.
This is the day Nancy splits off & goes to Kuala Lumpur & Thailand & I go to Tokyo. My trip was 7 1⁄2 hours. It was interesting though because much of it was over the islands including the Philippines. Met at the Haneda Airport by Japanese Chf. of Protocol & Mike & Maureen Mansfield (Ambas.). Another fabulous suite at Hotel Okura—actually a penthouse.
