Dropped by & spoke to the new Nat. Repub. Committee. Then on to Chi. where I addressed the Convention of Veterans of Foreign Wars. Gov. Jim Thompson, Sen. Percy, Congresspersons Hyde & Lynn Martin accompanied us. The convention had ended but they stayed over to allow me to speak. I am the 1st Pres. they have ever endorsed.
Following that I signed—before another group Senate Bill 746 establishing a Nat. Heritage Corridor for the Illinois, Mich. canal. Next stop—Camp David.
