Wednesday Jan 22
The day started with the Cabinet swearing -in-
in the East Room - coffee at 7:30, ceremoning at
8:00 I didn't go
told me at last minute I should attend. Plan
Then the first Cabinet meeting -at 8:30. P.
was for me to stay out of there but he felt
had to be there! I was called on for several
administrative items near the end. P. roaed
in right on time announced by Chapin Took
immediate command-and started on the agenda fuel
tilt with no nonsense. The Governous distinguished
themselves by their compulsion to talk- whether n not
they hadamything to say. arther Burns started in on
his policy book and implacably went on t on.
Overall excellent meeting -set a great tone.
I was in with P. for an hourin the afternoon
used the little office frawhile. I don't
on myriad of general items mainly details He
think he liked it.
Teddy White saw him for an hour -fn the
final session. then I spent another 1/2 how
getting papers signed. Our staffsystem is
working remarkably well- the staff is in on
time and usually right Cole is doing a very fine
job Chapin has yet to get on top of his role but
his not blowing any thing
this morning I had a fire in my fire, place -
and it was a disaster! the chiminey didn't draw-
and smoke poured into the office They had to
break through years of accumulated paint. TO get
my windows open Rose furious - smoke all
through the West Wing. Fortunately Twent or
the Cabinet meeting and missed it all.
Pat Buchanan Rad his first meeting with P.
this safternoon -and discovered when he left
after an how session le press & N briefings
that his fly was open.
