N.S.C. to prepare for Pres. Eanes of Portugal. We had the usual formal mil. greeting. Things went well & our meeting was fruitful. He has visited former colonies Mozambique & Angola. He says both would like to walk away from the Soviets and have ties with us. We are going to explore this with his govt. An ec. briefing found some differences of opinion with regard to our deficits between Don R. & M. Feldstein. Marty would like to increase taxes. He believes the deficit will mean higher int rates. Don doesn’t hold with this idea—nor do I. Had several scientists report on Acid rain & it’s causes. A farewell to Aram Bakshiam who is leaving the speech writers shop to go back to private life.
