A bright but crisp day. Did my radio show on 2 subjects—Tax reform & Nicaragua. In the 2nd half I referred to Ortega as a dictator in designer glasses. In N.Y. at the U.N. opening he & his wife bought $3500 worth of designer glass frames.

During the day a meeting with Deaver & Glenn Campbell to see an architect’s idea for the Presidential library, then a greeting to all the S.S. & familys & the W.H. military. The day winds up with a dinner for the Foundation Bd. of Governors for the Library.

The architects presentation was outstanding. His concept is a bldg. in the Calif. mission style—very beautiful.

Had a little fun talking to the S.S. & Mil. familys—1st floor was jammed & we were being entertained by a young chorus from N.C. Then the Foundation was most pleasant—short speeches—a 10 min. film & an early benediction.
