White House Diaries

December 18, 1982
Saturday, December 18, 1982
Radio broadcast & a round table live interview by representatives of 8 independent radio networks. It went well and I had a chance to get in some licks about the Dem. so called “jobs” programs—also re the charge that we discriminate against minorities. 3:30 the military visit to the White House. It was frustrating—the crowd was so thick in every room & the hall that we could only stand on the stairway & yell Merry Xmas. 6:00 P.M.—the Secret Service reception—took pictures with all of them & their wives or girlfriends. Ron & Doria arrived—will stay through Sunday. Doria is doing a review of some performance at Kennedy Center. Howard Baker with Bob Dole & Paul L. called (phone) to tell me they would keep the Sen. in session all night & take up the “gas tax” bill in effort to break the filibuster by Helms, Humphrey & Nichols if I said O.K.—I said it.
