Diary Entry - 12/29/1984
Key Facts
The President and First Lady meet their grandchild for the first time (Michael Reagan's child).
Indian PM Rajiv Gandhi claims victory in parliamentary elections.
Depart for Palm Springs—well L.A. for a couple of days first. On Fri. will meet with Mike & Colleen to see our granddaughter for the 1st time. Had time for a trip to Dr. House. My hearing has suffered no loss since last year. The other good news was our family meeting. I think we passed a watershed & the wounds are healed.
From Dec. 29 (Fri.) to Jan. 2nd the beautiful weather was beyond belief. This New Year party at Lee & Walter Annenbergs house is a tradition. It’s also become my once a year golf game. With all the socializing, had time for meetings with Bud, George S. & Cap pinning down approach George will take with Gromyko in Geneva Jan. 7 & 8. Then Jan. 2nd it was back on A.F.1 & the White House—with happy memories of another 4 day reunion with old friends.
Almost forgot—on Jan. 2nd met with P.M. Nakasone of Japan. It was a good meeting and I believe further progress was made re our trade deficit with Japan. The P.M. is a true friend.
