Both of us had a wakeful night. The day was colder & darker. Don R. came for me at 10:55 then we walked across to the Pometta House for a meeting plus a working lunch—Lord I hope I’m ready & not overtrained. After lunch we picked up Nancy & went to Le Reposoir for welcome ceremony with Pres. Furgler. Usual Nat. Anthems & review of troops. Then a plenary meeting with him & his top people. We have a top relationship—very warm & friendly & few if any problems. They were happy with my position on S.D.I. & Protectionism. Back to our quarters & met the owners the Pometta family—very nice. They rent this house to the Aga’s son. Nancy surprised me with a masseur coming in at 5 P.M. I fell asleep about 4 x while he was massaging.
