The Libyans are, as I expected, proving difficult to deal with on the question of the MNLF [Moro National Liberation Front].
As of 9:30 AM our time, they have been meeting for the whole day up to 2:00 AM on the joint communique.
And all because Minister Ali Treki want to include a paragraph of the Philippines complying with the 7th Islamic Conference resolution on the MNLF.
This is offensive and disgraceful. It is unacceptable.
I have asked them to appeal directly to Col. Kadaffi who sees the First Lady at 9:30 AM Libya time.
I talked to Col. [Muammar] Kadaffi at 5:45 PM while I was at Green No. 2 and through the telephone outlet at the Golf Driving Range at the Park.
He sounded almost boisterous, spoke English with an accent. But I felt he is some kind of a gay.
No Official Gazette entry for this day.
