Key Facts
President Reagan participates in a meeting with members of the Mexican-U.S. Interparliamentary Union.
Battles in Beirut kill fifty-three.
A good meeting with Repub. Cong. leadership. We talked about the things on our plate that must be dealt with—Saudi arms sale, Contras, budget & tax reform. It was a good meeting and gave us the feeling we were off to a good start on the agenda.
A brief N.S.C. meeting—in which we talked about yesterdays N.S.P.G. meeting on leaks & how our account of the entire meeting was on the front page of todays Wash. Post.
After lunch a meeting with Cap which is going to become a regular thing. A quick trip over to the E.O.B. to say a “well done” to our W.H. Personnel Liaison team. They round up the people we appoint to jobs & they do great work. Then a lengthy meeting with Geo. S. & a discussion about the Soviets and what they are trying to do. They certainly are sending mixed signals. A sneeze shot & upstairs for rest of day.
Sent a check ($500) off to Mrs. Sheila Petersen who has created a program—run out of her kitchen to help familys with a child requiring more medical care at home than the family can provide.
