Up for Brkfst. at 8:30. Some reading—P.D.B. etc. Then up. Not much “moving in, work.” It’s go to Palm Springs day & it’s a beautiful one—a little warmer than we’ve had but still below Calif. normal. Got some telephoning done. Called Peewee & Nancy Wms. also Lee Clearwaters son. His son who I last saw 8 yrs. ago is now a Marine. A late lunch then off to the airport. Before getting on A.F.1 I told the press about our position on Pan Am 103. It was a bomb & we are going to do all we can to track down the bomber. At 4:15 P.M. we landed at Palm Springs. A 20 min. drive & we were at Sunny Lands—met by Lee & Walter. It’s beautiful as always. Ardie Deutsch had gifted me with a massage—a new kind. It was great & I feel great. Then it was dinner with Lee & Walter & an early bed time.
