A 9:30 A.M. meeting with Bipartisan House leadership. It was for an advance briefing & discussion of Competitive legislation we’ve sent up to the hill. It was a good meeting & I got in some good licks with fact & figure. Then an N.S.C. briefing mainly on subject we were going to take up at our N.S.P.G. meeting. That too was good—then N.S.P.G. meeting. Subject was terrorism. [. . .]
After lunch a good meeting with Jeane Kirkpatrick reporting on her meetings with Gorbachev & Sakharov to Geo. B., Geo. S., Cap W., Frank C., Don R. & me. A very useful & good session. Then I went into a meeting with the Council for a “Black Ec. Agenda.” Our 3rd meeting and we’re making progress in improving situation of Blacks. The council has been a private sector initiative effort & is doing well.
A Farewell party for Pat Buchanan. Then upstairs for an hour with Ross Perot. He has laid on me a story of chicanery & corruption in our executive branch including the mil. & C.I.A. It’s a shocker & has me asking where do I start. Of course all he told me was based on circumstantial evidence. Called Drew Lewis about taking Don’s job. He’s thinking hard about it.
