Key Facts

President Reagan attends a meeting with advisors to discuss Soviet nuclear arms and the adherence to treaties.
A really easy day. N.S.C.—Cap getting ready to release study by commission investigating Beirut massacre of our Marines (241). They are going to charge there was negligance on part of officers regarding safety precautions. I’m worried about the effect of this on families that lost loved ones. Another briefing in situation room on Soviet nuclear arms & the almost impossibility of verifying whether they are cheating or not. Did year end interview with 4 wire services. Had a haircut & upstairs.
