Key Facts
President Reagan heads to Camp David.
President Reagan meets with Senator Helms (R-North Carolina) to receive the 400th Anniversary Standard.
Jesse Helms came by to present me with a banner made for the N. Carolina 400th birthday celebration—which we cant attend. There was an N.S.P.G. meeting in the situation room. First order of business a report by Ambas. Shlaudeman on his meetings in Central Am. His talk with the Nicaraguan went no where. They obviously aren’t about to give in on anything. He (Harry) is on his way back down there. Last part of the meeting had to do with the Soviets & their offer to meet with us on one subject only—“the demilitarization of space.” We’ve replied we’ll talk to them on space including nuclear weapons which after all go up into space. Hosted a lunch (State Dining Room) for a group of elected Repub. Women—State Legislators, City Councilwomen, Co. Supervisors etc. A good meeting. They were here for a day of briefings. Met with George Shultz & Bud & came to an agreement on our statement to the Soviets. Some visitor picture taking & off to Camp David. Clouds closing in but managed to get in an afternoon dip.
