John Poindexter (N.S.C.) reported in on his return from short but busy trip to El Salvador, Panama, Guatemala, Costa Rica & Honduras. It was a successful trip & tied up some loose ends.

Our “Dreyfus” case with Cong. is on a shaky hold. Repubs. have offered up enough votes to carry the day if Tip will make a slight change in the rule under which the bill was blocked. Last word is that Tip is meeting with Rostenkowski. Mon. I’m going up to the hill to meet with the Repub. Conf.

Had a brief meeting & photo with leadership of Nat. Conf. of State Legislators. Then a photo session with Merritt Smith—famous lens man who was doing the pics. of me & Nancy for the new R.R. Repub. H.Q’s. in Burbank Calif.

Then upstairs & some homework.
