Back to the routine. Staff meeting—then G.O.P. leadership for a report by us on trip & then to hear from them on agenda. They are trying to adjourn on Fri. but have a h--l of a full plate including passing an extension of the debt ceiling. Without that we face fiscal disaster. Sen. Bill Armstrong is leading the charge & while he’s sincere he just doesn’t know what the h--l he’s doing. Phoned Repub. Gov’s. conf. Bob Orr is turning chairmanship over to Vic Atiyah of Oregon. Clarence Pendleton chairman of Civil Rts. Commission came in re the Congress so called compromise to keep me from making new appointments. The boys are playing games but I think I can snooker them. Haircut, then meeting Sens. who are battling to get Tuition Tax Credit—Upstairs to get some mail done.
