To the Oval Office for a meeting with Congressional leadership—Dems. & Repubs. Met with our team at 9:30 A.M.—general meeting at 10 A.M. Meeting was very good—ran til 1 P.M. Dealt 1st & longest with Korean Plane. Ran a tape of conversation between 2 Soviet pilots including the one who stated he had locked on his radar guided air to air missiles, launched them & “target destroyed.” I’m going on air 8 P.M. tomorrow night to tell the story & announce our plans. Strom Thurmond made a great suggestion. We know the whereabouts of many K.G.B. agents [. . .] We’re looking into the practicality of this. [. . .] That would be shooting our selves in the foot. Second half of meeting was on Lebanon. I believe we have D. support for what we’re doing there. We may be on the verge of showing the world a truly united front.
