Key Facts
President Reagan attends and addresses the Eagles Breakfast.
President and Mrs. Reagan make a final appearance at the Republican National Convention in New Orleans.
I had to get up early & speak to the Eagles Breakfast. That too went well—then a receiving line & photos with the 150 of them. Back to the hotel for Nancy then out to the airport where we met Geo. B. & Barbara. We each said a few words to the crowd. The press was clamoring for word about who George would name for the V.P. spot. Just before we parted Geo. whispered his choice was Dan Quale—Ind. Sen. On plane with us was Mike & family, the Wicks, Dennis LeBlanc & Betsy Bloomingdale. Before we landed—got word Geo. B. had made his V.P. choice known.
Beautiful at the ranch—spent afternoon moving in & doing some picture hanging as some now at ranch are going into our new home in Bel Air. Then dinner—with Barney & end of day.
