Key Facts
President Reagan makes a Radio Address to the Nation on Tax Reform.
My radio broadcast was on the tax reform. Then in the afternoon—a beautiful day—we had a horseback ride followed by a swim. I phoned a Mrs. Gerney—woman who was trapped under an overturned derrick in N.Y. (her legs crushed) for 6 hours. She’s captured everyone’s hearts with her courage & faith and I told her that when I reached her at Belleview. This weekend has us under a possible problem. Kuwait, it is rumored, may execute several terrorists convicted of murders in the embassy bombings in Kuwait. There is a rumor that the terrorists would execute some of our Americans they have kidnapped in Lebanon. If all that happens I’m in favor of an air strike against a target in Lebanon that we know is a terrorist base.
