Passed the physical with flags flying. I’m grateful to God for the health he has blessed me with. Nancy met me at the hospital & we helicoptered to Camp D. Weather was beautiful & 80° for the weekend. We rode & swam. Phone was a little busy—back & forth with Bud & Cap & Jim. It had to do with Iran attacking oil tankers in the Gulf—Persian. We’re keeping in touch with the gulf states & our allies. I doubt the Arabs will ask for our help. They are afraid that Iran can kick up radicals in their own countries. Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. Came home today (Sunday) to a reception for our Ethnic Repub. groups who’ve been having a 4 day meeting. They have to be the most enthusiastic Repubs. we have. Tomorrow Pres. elect Duarte of El Salvador arrives.
