Met with Repub. Cong. leadership. To my surprise—back from their 10 day recess they were all cooled down about Lebanon. When they left town they thought Lebanon was the biggest issue on hand. When I suggested doing a T.V. speech to explain it they said no let it lay. Mayor of Assisi Italy & 2 monks from St. Francis of Assisi’s monastery came to present me with the “Rose of Assisi” for my peace efforts. I’m greatly honored. An issues lunch then to the East Room to receive report of Commission on Security & Ec. Assistance. Then 2 hours of practice for tomorrow nights Press Conf. Nancy is in N.Y til tomorrow P.M. so I’m here in the W.H. rattling around.
