Reagans Heading for a Week in Los Angeles, Palm Springs
- Share via
WASHINGTON — President Reagan leaves for a one-week California vacation today, planning to see in the new year as usual at the palatial Palm Springs home of publisher Walter H. Annenberg.
The President and First Lady Nancy Reagan plan to return to the White House on Jan. 2.
The Reagans will spend tonight and Sunday in Los Angeles and fly to Palm Springs on Monday, after Reagan presents the Presidential Citizens Medal to Jeana Yeager and Dick Rutan, co-pilots of the globe-girdling aircraft Voyager, and Burt Rutan, designer of the craft.
The vacation will be Reagan’s eighth trip this year to his home state.
Donald T. Regan, White House chief of staff, is on vacation and will not make the California trip, the White House said.
It may be the last presidential trip for White House spokesman Larry Speakes. Speakes is leaving the White House on Feb. 1 to become a vice president and spokesman for Merrill Lynch. He said a successor will probably be named early in January.
