President: Fill me in on Colorado politics.
Amb. Dominick: They are totally Democrats. They are a new breed --
like the caucus. The new Governor came in on a lot of promises and is
having trouble delivering.
Mrs. Dominick: We have two Republican Congressmen and the Senate
is Republican.
Amb. Dominick: But none in the Statehouse.
There is nothing we could have done about it. We won where you went.
The western slope is okay. We lost my own county, Denver by 50, 000
etc.
President: I hear the guy who beat Busk(?) is conceited. Is he that
good?
Amb. Dominick: No. But he is not dumb.
Mrs. Dominick: We have a big influx of young people from the East Coast.
President: The whole world's worst in Colorado is Patsy. She is just
awful and thinks she is so good. Bill Armstrong and Jim Johnson are good.
Amb. Dominick: Yes. But Johnson has religious convictions about fighting
foreign wars, so he probably won't be with you.
President: We will probably go to Vail in August some time. Our con-
dominium has been a good investment. I traded with Dick Bass because
my own was not big enough.
Amb. Dominick: I was surprised you found Secret Service skiers.
President: They scrounged around. But they are enthusiasts now.
Amb. Dominick: Do you have any advice?
President: I am sure you had briefings. Anything you can do to get
their increased cooperation in IEA. The French aren't too good. If we
can keep it going and strengthen it
