A long N.S.C. briefing re the visit of P.M. Nakasone of Japan. Amb. Mike Mansfield was on hand. Following this a meeting with U.N. Sec. Gen. Perez Cuellar. We’d decided I should have a press availability today to straighten out the girls & boys of the press who are all preaching that our “arms policy” is in disarray over the resignation (firing) of Eugene Rostow. I opened by using all their words about them—that they were in Disarray, chaotic about to unravel into complete shambles. They got the msg. & seemed a little selfconscious. It was a good session. I enjoyed myself. Had the Dem. leadership staff in for pic’s. & then the Repub. staff. Tonite phoned 5 T.V. programs (conf. call) that are holding job fairs. These turn out to be pretty successful. The unemployed appear or call in seeking a job & business people call & hire right there on the air.
