We had a meeting with our Deficit Downpayment Negotiating group. I’m afraid I blew my top at one point. It seemed to me they are willing to let the Dems. run with the ball because they dont think we can stop them. I told them before we do that, it’s time for us to agree on our position & then let me take it to the people (T.V.) and smoke them out. The way we’re going we’re not exerting any leadership. Besides—our position is on the side of the Angels & leaves the Dems. the wrong side of the debate. Spoke briefly to the 50 State Agri. directors. Then to lunch with a crowd of editors of business magazines. Unlike the rest of the press—they are very supportive of our programs etc. George S. and I met. Our plans about the Soviet U. are going forward. He’s giving Ambas. Dobrynin my letter for delivery to Chernenko. Then upstairs for afternoon of homework.
