Good weather—2 morning rides. Ed M., Jim B., & Bill C. helicoptered up with Mr. & Mrs. George Shultz who had just arrived by Concorde from London. We had a good working lunch. I think things are going to work out fine. Al will stay on for the transition. Sun. before leaving C.D. Bill & Bud McFarland called. The Israeli cabinet has submitted a new idea. Calls for a Lebanese army to disarm the P.L.O. in Beirut. All of the armed P.L.O. will then be sent out of Lebanon to Syria. The odd note was the Israeli call then for the U.S. to join in the negotiations with the P.L.O. Heretofore, we have refused to do any talking to the P.L.O. until & unless they agreed to recognize Israel’s right to exist, which they’ve never done. We’re having about 30 people in for dinner at the W.H. and then running Spielberg’s movie, “E.T.”
