Cabinet met 90 min.—working lunch. Subject—the way the Bureaucrats are slipping in cost overruns which are increasing the ’81 bud. deficit. There is no question but it is the usual warfare the perm. structure wages to protect it’s turf. Its’ a war we must win. 5:45 a reception for the Sens. D. & R. who voted for our budget. Then upstairs to dress for my 1st time to go out on the town. The Tom Jones’ had a dinner at Georgetown Club for all the Californians (& others) who were in town for the Wrathers premiere of “The Legend of the Lone Ranger.” It was wonderful to see all of them and get homesick all over again. I was surprised to find my back tingled a bit when I got out of the car & went up the steps with a crowd of people across the street in the dark.
