POSTINGS: Message on the occasion of the holiday of Ramadan Intention to nominate D. Tennant Bryan to be a member of the U.S. Advisory Commission on Information CABINET READ-OUT: The President praised Kissinger saying its "far from settled". Bush gave an intelligence briefing on the information which provided the background for the decision made on Rhodesia. HAK then gave his report. HAK indicated that basically without this effort, it could have turned into a very serious military confrontation very soon. He also explained the objection that the black african leaders have to the plan that was worked out, and explained that they do not object to the whole plan. HAK indicated that a "breakthrough has basically occurred", and that the "situation is essentially on trackn. The President thanked him for the report and then reviewed the options he had, sending Kh singer to Africc: or doing nothing. Ron reported that doing nothing would have increased outside intervention (tacitly indicated as the USSR or Cuba.), and an absolutely inevitable bloody 1 confrontation. Finally after a discussion of a 'trust fund , whereby private companies who would want to invest in Rhodesia (in the future growth of the Commonwealth) could do so, the President ended up with we are "going to make a maximum effort, I am an optimist". There was some vague general discussion of the trust fund which went over this pooler's head. Following the Rhodesia discussion, there was talk about legislation. MICHIGAN INVESTIGATION: In answer to a question on the Special Prosecutor's investigation, and any Presidential reaction, we have nothing. OTHER FOREIGN MINISTER TO COME IN: Tomorrow the Italian Foreign Minister will be coming in to see the President.

That is what they are doing in this case. TRAVEL: The President will be going to California for the 2nd debate . on Oct. 6. No firm dates or times or places. We will leave either the 4th or the 5th.
