Key Facts

President Reagan hosts a luncheon for the newly constituted Presidential Board of Advisors on Private Sector Initiatives.
Brkfst. in the State dining room for almost all the Repub. Senators. It went very well and I think we’re off to a good start. Then a meeting with Japanese Finance Minister Takeshita (emphasize the 2nd syllable).
I phoned the Right to Life group—almost 100,000 down on the Elipse. From there they marched to the Capitol.
Back to the St. dining room for lunch with our new Board of Advisors forPub. Sector Initiatives—Another pleasant time.
Geo. Shultz came by to talk about a possible meeting with Pres. Botha of S. Africa. Having him here will present some touchy problems. We’ll talk about this some more.
Met with leaders of Right to Life movement. These are truly dedicated people & I’m pleased to support them.
Jim Baker & Don R. came in to talk about our campaign for tax reform. It isn’t going to be easy.
I think the ghost of Abe Lincoln is stirring around upstairs where we live. Rex sets up a holler & goes barking down the great hall for all the world as if he’s barking at someone. Finally I accompanied him all the way to Lincolns bedroom. There he balked at going into the room.
