A tough decision I have to make after a Budget review board meeting. Do we continue with our Land Sat. program even though it means a large subsidy while commercial interests only see a few mil. $ of commercial use? On the other hand are there undiscovered commercial uses yet to be found? France & Japan are both showing signs of getting into this business. George & I had lunch today. Then I said goodbye to our China Trade Commission who are off to Peking—a group of distinguished Am. bus. leaders. Over to E.O.B. to address about 200 of our outreach program on Central Am. then off to Kennedy Center to address about 1000 business leaders who were part of the Grace commission. Was going to meet on the S. Lawn but got rained out. Tonite a dinner upstairs with the Don Regans & Charles Wicks. A very nice time was had by all.
