Sec. [Carlos] Romulo has reported to me. I enclose copy of his report.
I have ordered a National Security Council meeting next Wednesday and a foreign Policy Council meeting on Saturday.
The Security Command will consider the Unilateral Defense Posture as well as the proposed Neutralization of Southeast Asia while the Foreign Policy Council will receive the report of Sec. Romulo and discuss the Kuala Lumpur meeting of Foreign Ministers and the subsequent summit meeting.
Tomorrow I meet the Nacionalista leaders for lunch.
We have braced ourselves for the walkout of government employees in the Dept. of Public Works, Education, Agriculture and others. We must find out how effective their threat of government paral[y]zation is.
I have ordered the master plan for the Land Reform Program to be made. So with rice procurement and production.
We are reviewing all on-going programs.
No Official Gazette entry for this day.
