Cloudy & cold. We had to take some photos out on the S. Lawn for “People” magazine. It was cold. The Cong. is still meeting. Finally adopted a conference report I said I’d veto. I’ve suggested they pass a 15–20 day extension of the present “continuing res.” go home for Turkey day & then come back & take up where they left off. If they dont & I have to veto—we wont board A.F.1 for the ranch and the battle will go on. The King & Queen of Sweden dropped by for a brief visit. They are here for personal reasons not an official visit. A reception, 1st of the young artists series broadcast on P.B.S. The young artist was Miss Levin, a violinist and very talented. Then the long evening wait for the vote in Cong. The house went against us by only 11 votes. I said “veto.”
