Decided to make Bill Brock Sec. of Labor & announced it to the press. Then did a series of meetings with Congressmen, Dem. & Repub. lobbying on the MX. Dont know how I did. We’ll find out on the vote.
A group of Rabbis—Am. Rabbinical Reps. here on a meeting to promote freedom of Jews in the Soviet to Emigrate, came by & presented me with a book on, among other things, the Passover. I told them how much I shared their concern and asked them to understand why my efforts had to be quiet but the efforts are there. George S. came by with Bud and we talked about “Quiet Diplomacy”—the need to lean on the Soviets but to do so one on one—not in the papers. Over to the family theater for briefing—press conf. tomorrow night.
