Monday, September 14, 1981
A really busy day—much of it ceremonial. Handed certificates to 14 W.H. “fellows.” Signed proclamation for 200th anniversary of the Battle of Yorktown. Went to Tennis Court for exhibition match & recognition of our Wightman & Davis Cup teams. Also had meetings with Dem. Congressmen (Boll Weevils) & bi-partisan group of Sens. First meeting was re the budget. The 2nd had to do with Saudi A.W.A.C.S. sale. Was annoyed to learn that P.M. Begin had gone to the hill & had lobbied against the sale after leading me to believe he wouldn’t. Bill Clark is going to meet him in N.Y. if possible before he leaves tomorrow to tell him this may affect our relationship unless he undoes what he’s done.
