I would appreciate answers to the following questions for planning purposes. 

1. 
For what time is the NSC meeting scheduled tomorrow? tJ/n? 

2. 
Does the President envisage a Tuesday lunch this week? If so, ~ 


I f/11 
when? 
3. Should Tommy Thompson and Harlan Cleveland be at the NSC meeting? I recommend that they be present since both Soviet policy and the future of NATO will be under examination. 


4. Tommy Thompson may be leaving for Moscow as early as 

~ 
Friday. Would the President like to see him before he returns to Moscow? I suspect it would be a good idea and that Sec. Rus:\< should also be present, since Thompson needs the President's guidance as to how to play our relations with Moscow in the days ahead•
