Chairman Leo [Leonides] Virata, drunk, indolent, bad manager but a good think man.

Strategy for over-all economic relations.

The Command and General Staff College Civilian Supremacy and the Arrogance of Infallibility.

Electronics—Sharps of Japan, Araki Saiki and Delta.

The participation of local governments in the national revenue—20%.

Lunch with Chief Justice Roberto Concepcion, Sec. [Juan] Ponce Enrile, [Vicente] Abad Santos and Sol. Gen. Estellito Mendoza.

The Chief Justice spoke of wanting to travel around the country as he wanted to see how the Courts of First Instance are operating as the new constitution places these courts under the administration of the Supreme Court.

Because Sec. Ponce Enrile invited him to go to Freedom Island or the Spratleys with him this summer.

So we discussed the dangers that the Spratleys posed, the Libyan and Malaysian support for the Mindanao Secessionist Movement, the need to negotiate immediately with Malaysia, the US and UK, Taiwan.

No Official Gazette entry for this day.
