Nancy interviewing household help for when we go back to Calif. I’m due downstairs to greet Open House for more staff. These were all connected with management of W.H. I got carried away and took Q’s. It was more fun than I’ve had in a long time. Stayed about 20 or 25 min’s.
Now it’s after dinner—about 9 P.M. Howard B. just called from his car. He’s on his way home from the Hill. Cong. just passed a 14 hour extension of the Continuing Resolution. Howard thinks they are very close & will probably wind it up satisfactorily tomorrow. I’m now waiting for the C.R. to get here for my signature. When I sign it will keep us from having to send workers home. And here is the usher now with the bill. Now it’s signed & on it’s way back & I’m going to bed.
