From the Reagan Diaries:
Monday, June 1 [1981]
Quite a day! Met with Sen. Simpson re immigration. He had a great collection of fraudulent S.S. cards, drivers licenses, union cards, etc. –Oh also phony food stamps. How can we catch this kind of counterfeiting? Then it was Sen. Ted Kennedy’s turn. He’s interested in gun control but not as rabid about it as I thought.
…
Later an N.S.C. meeting. I okayed reversing the Carter policy against selling arms to our friends.
… Moving to the middle east. I approved naval maneuvers in Mediterranean waters that Khadafi of Libya has declared are his territorial waters. I’m not being foolhardy but he’s a madman. He has been harassing our planes out over international waters & it’s time to show the other nations there Egypt, Morocco et al that there is different management here….
