Off to Billings Montana for 100th anniversary of city & a fundraiser for Larry Williams U.S. Sen. cand. Spent most of trip calling top business leaders re the tax bill. Most calls successful in getting them to help. Interviewed by Hugh Sidey. Went right from plane to arena—filled 12,700 people plus a large crowd that couldn’t get in. Warmest welcome imaginable, speech enthusiastically received. Then to reception ($1000) & lunch ($125) for Cand. Larry Williams—same enthusiasm. All in all a successful & heartwarming experience. Used occasion to explain the tax bill. Nancy is on her sad journey to Phoenix & it’s lonely here.
