A busy day—signed pledge for Fed. govt. charity fund with Mac Baldridge & others present. Cabinet Council on energy meeting—went forward with new nuclear policy which should get 33 Nuclear Power plants licensed. They’ve been sitting idle while we kept on importing more oil for power. Another session on how we’re going to handle the Cancun Mex. meeting. One thing sure we cant agree to the demand by the undeveloped countries for a Global organization to enforce a share the wealth policy on the industrial nations. Saw 11 Ambassadors off. Pres.’s Nixon, Ford & Carter arrived at the W.H. for a brief send off by helicopter from S. Lawn. They are representing us at Sadats funeral. All wanted to go—all knew him. It’s the 1st time 4 Presidents have ever been in the W.H. together.
