Fog burned off by 10 A.M. so a very pleasant ride. First a couple of phone calls—to Chris Shea who won the special election in Conn. for a Cong. seat. Then to Bill Brock—in hospital for detached retina. Got word our ships in P. Gulf escorted 4 Kuwait Tankers thru Straits of Hormuz during the night. Phoned Joe Coors re Citizens for America.

After lunch back to our exterior decorating—pruning trees etc.
