My call to Pres. of Honduras worked—Bud reported the orders have gone out & the mil. is moving supplies to the Contras & has restored guns to one outfit they had disarmed.

A Rose Garden Senior Citizens Volunteer ceremony. They have a group organized nation wide called R.S.V.P. Harry Morgan—the Col. in “Mash” [M*A*S*H ] is honorary chairman. I recognized a Navajo boy & his grandmother for saving 10 children from a burning bus & she gave me a Navajo blanket.

Then it was Pres. Chun of S. Korea for a meeting & lunch. Mrs. Chun & Nancy had some time together. We have pleasant memories of our visit to S.K. in November ’83. Everything went well. A meeting with Geo. S. then a private meeting with 2 gentlemen—long time friends who are going to take over our blind trust.

Sen. Metzenbaum along with others of his kind such as Cranston got a non binding resolution passed asking Germany to let me out of the Bitberg cemetery visit. Unfortunately some of our Repubs. went along. Well I dont want out. I think I’m doing what is morally right.
