Key Facts
President Reagan attends a horse demonstration with President of Portugal Antonio Ramalho Eanes.
President Reagan returns to the White House from the trip to Europe.
I did a briefing & then an outdoor press conference in the garden. Then Nancy & I & our party joined the Eanes’s on the grounds at the Horse Pavilion for our exhibition of their Lusitanian’s Horses. This was Haute Ecole—dressage on the order of the Lipizzaner in Vienna & very good.
From there direct to the airport—a mil. review, this time of Marines. I was struck by the fact that I was a head taller than almost all the men in the ranks.
Ceremony over—it was farewells & onto A.F. One & out over the Atlantic—a 7 hr., 40 min. trip to Wash. D.C. & a beautiful 80 degree day. A nice welcome home on the S. Lawn. We’re here for overnight & then to Camp David.
