During this stay, in contrast to most of his previous visits to San Clemente, the President did not dine out, go for a drive or even play golf. Early in the week he attended a private party at Budget Director Roy Ash's mansion in Bel Air, a lavish gathering of 150 old California friends and supporters. A few days later he flew into Los Angeles by helicopter to deliver his televised economic address before a sympathetic, if somewhat restrained audience of 1,700 business leaders at the Century Plaza Hotel. The speech, billed as an effort to rally...

With Ralph Nader as ally and Budget Director Roy Ash as adversary, Engman has been fighting to require more detailed financial reporting from major U.S. corporations. Recently he attacked TV ads aimed at children. With Engman's approval, an investigation of food pricing is contemplated, and several in the energy field are currently under...
...idea of making such illusory "cuts" does not please Herbert Stein, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, or Treasury Secretary William E. Simon. Both want more real spending reductions than Ash says are possible. Simon was reported to be so irked by Ash's stand that at one point he exploded to Ash in language reminiscent of the White House transcripts: "You would think this [expletive deleted] budget was your...
