Key Facts
President Reagan speaks, on a secure voice line, with Secretary of State George P. Shultz in Moscow, U.S.S.R.
President Reagan participates in an Economic Recovery Forum sponsored by the Department of Labor.
Usual meetings—began with a phone call from Geo. S.—a few words about meetings. Looked over a list of 15 possibles to replace Judge Bork. Trimmed it down to 3 and in my mind it’s down to 1—Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg. We need to talk to our Repub. Sens. & A.B.A. [American Bar Association].
At 10:55 went over to Labor Dept.—attended Employment Expansion Forum & made a speech to about 800 employees.
In the afternoon an interview with 5—foreign press.
Then some Bob Tuttle time—photo with departing S.S. Agent & a taping session. Then off to Camp David. Weather there was beautiful. Sen. had rejected Judge Bork. I phone him and expressed my very real regret & reiterated my great respect & admiration for him.
