Was shown the photo recently taken by the bastards who are holding our kidnap victims in Lebanon. Heartbreaking, there is no question but that they are being badly treated. The day was filled with meetings—Congressmen (mainly democratic) on the MX. I’m worried—just rcvd. word it looks like we’re behind in the House. Some wanted to argue that I should spring for a tax just dedicated to defense spending. Briefed for press conference & then at 8 P.M. the press. The conference went well although I think their questions were kind of dull.
