Key Facts
President Reagan makes a radio address to the Nation about the Economic Recovery Program.
The President and First Lady leave the White House for Camp David.
Oval office and did 1st of weekly 5 min. radio broadcast live—we’re going to do. Talked about recovery from recession & why our ec. program is best answer. The argument about a nuclear freeze is heating up. Big issue is freeze now with Russians out ahead, or negotiate a substantial verifiable reduction—then freeze. I support the latter. Some critics are upset because in the recent press conf. I flatly stated Russians are ahead of us. Then off to Camp David. Had to land at foot of mountain & drive up—fog. Then came the rain, thunder & the works. Late afternoon sun came out. Ran a golden oldie, “The Awful Truth.” Cary Grant & Irene Dunne. They really dont make them like that anymore.
