Usual courtesy calls at U.N. then addressed the Gen. Assembly. I’m the only Pres. to ever do this 3 times. As usual they sat on their hands although they did interrupt once with applause. Gromyko & the Soviet reps. were front row center right below the mike. I tried to catch their eyes several times on particular points affecting them. They were looking through me and their expressions never changed. One last meeting with Prince Sihanouk & P.M. Son Sann of Cambodia—teamed up to try & oust the Vietnamese & return Cambodia to freedom.
Lunch with Dick Nixon & Ed Muskie—arranged by Howard Baker. They have an idea—a good one—of putting a bipartisan group of citizens together to support our disarmament proposals after the election. Back to W.H. & the Oval Office. A bill signing in Rose Garden then a proclamation in East Room declaring an Historical Black College & University week. Presidents of these inst’s. were on hand. It was a good session.
