Big thing of this day was the traditional Easter Egg roll. Nancy & I went out on the lawn at 11 A.M.—there were more than 30,000 people—mainly children. Then I had to go back in the Cabinet room for a meeting with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. They are all on board for the Commission report on M-X. There were meetings all day on the upcoming Summit in Williamsburg, defense budget etc. A very top meeting in the situation room had to do with Surinam and possible plans to oust the dictator who seized power & murdered about 15 top civic leaders. Some of the plans I had to veto. We’re going to see if Venezuela & Brazil might help. Saw 4 Ambassadors off.
