Key Facts
President Reagan places a call to Alfred M. Landon, former Republican candidate for President in 1936, on the occasion of his 97th birthday.
President Reagan attends the annual Polish Festival.
Phoned Alf Landon on his 97th B.D. Nancy came off the mountain by car & I helicoptered to Doylestown Pa. to attend the Festival of Our Lady of Czestochowa (The Black Madonna). Gov. Thornburgh & Cardinal Krol met me. I saw the Shrine, put a wreath on the monument to Paderewski and then addressed 40,000 Polish Americans. Wonderfully received & magnificently introduced by the Cardinal. Then it was home & mother. Maureen is here. A couple of hours helicoptering really leaves the tired—the vibration.
