President Eisenhower, nine days after a brain artery blockage, again spent a full day at the White House. He held a 2.5 hour congressional leaders briefing, met with Adlai Stevenson, consulted with Dr Killian, dictated letters, and conferred with Vice President Nixon before ending the day at 5:15 p.m. Doctors had previously said the illness would require several weeks of rest, though Hagerty said no change in that plan was indicated. He looked natural and chipper as he left.
