Did the “no-confirmation” script. The weather was like Spring. We lunched outdoors—took a walk & then came the phone call—Ed was confirmed 63 to 31. Our side had won & Bob Dole has proved his right to be leader of the Senate. Weather still great & back to W.H. for dinner hosting the Nat. Gov.’s Conference. It was a nice dinner even though some of the Governors have been a little partisan—sniping at us mainly over the farm issue. They want more money at the same time they complain about the deficit.
