Off to Canada with Sec’s of State, Commerce, Treasury & Special trade rep. Bill Brock.
Met by Gov. General & wife for ceremony at airport—21 gun salute, troop inspection etc.
It was a warm welcome with Canadians lining the streets cheering & clapping. Quartered at Rideau house which is truly a magnificent old mansion—except that Nancy & I were in separate rooms—1st time in our marriage.
Went to Parliament hill to meet P.M. Trudeau. Discovered I liked him. Our meetings were very successful. We have some problems to be worked out having to do with fishing, energy & environment but I believe we’ve convinced them we really want to find answers.
They put on a gala at the art center—a very enjoyable show with a fantastic group of Ukrainian dancers.
Dinner at Rideau house (where we are staying).
