The 1985 Armed Forces Inaugural Committee
On January 21, 1985, the Fiftieth Inauguration of an American
President will take place on the West Front of the Nation's Capi-
tol. A national event of international significance, the inaugura-
tion is a moment in American life which traditionally, symboli-
cally, and dramatically represents the people's mandate to
continue or change the course of their nation. More than a parti-
san celebration of a purely political nature, our inauguration is to
all Americans and to all nations, forthright evidence of America's
commitment to an orderly transition or continuation of executive
authority.
This commitment is part of our inaugural tradition which be-
gan April 30, 1789, when George Washington was escorted by his
Revolutionary militia to the steps of New York City's Federal Hall
where he pledged his oath to preserve, protect and defend the
Constitution of the United States. This also marks the beginning
of the United States military's role in celebrating and
commemorating the installation of its Commander-in-Chief. In-
deed, the military's role draws on nearly two hundred years of in-
augural tradition that began when a former soldier and farmer
became President of the new republic. The thousands of men and
women representing five uniformed Services who will be partici-
pating in the 1985 Inauguration are the legacy of these very same
grenadiers, horsemen, cannoneers, and seamen who took part in
that historic event.
The explosive population growth of the United States from
three million colonists to 240 million citizens, the emergence of
America as a free world leader, and the revolution in communica-
tions from town criers and local newspapers to instantaneous sat-
ellite video coverage, resulted in Presidential Inaugurations
changing from a traditional Washington, D.C. celebration with a
distinctly local flavor to a global event witnessed by millions of
Americans and world citizens. Similarly, the military's involve-
ment has changed from simple parade escort and ceremonial par-
ticipation to its present sophisticated role as planner, advisor,
coordinator and supporter of all inaugural activities.
Over the past twenty years, Service participation has been
channeled through an informally structured Armed Forces Inau-
gural Committee (AFIC) organized just before election day. Past
AFIC accomplishments attest to the initiative and hard work each
committee brought to this national celebration. Nevertheless, ex-
perience from both the 1977 and 1981 inaugurations indicated
that organizing the AFIC well before the election would eliminate
the time constraints which contributed to a reactive and ad hoc
approach to inaugural support. A comprehensive examination of
after-action reports revealed that late activation allowed little time
for building on previous experience, caused duplication of effort
in the planning process, and resulted in a less than cost effective
use of available resources. Benefiting from the lessons of the past,
the nucleus of the Armed Forces Inaugural Committee was
formed in early June 1984.
The AFIC is a joint activity with representation from five
Services. In a radical departure from previous inaugurations, the
1985 AFIC has been structured as an autonomous organization. It
serves with two other inaugural organizations-the Presidential
Inaugural Committee (PIC) and the Joint Congressional Commit-
tee for Inaugural Ceremonies (JCCIC). The PIC is formed imme-
diately following the election and consists of appointees from the
President-elect's political party. This Committee is directly re-
sponsible to the President-elect for identifying, organizing,
planning, and executing inaugural celebration activities. The
JCCIC, on the other hand, is responsible for inaugural activities
at the United States Capitol, focusing primarily on the swear-
ing-in ceremony. Headed by the Chairman of the Senate Rules
and Administrative Committee, its members include the Senate
Majority and Minority Leaders, the Speaker of the House and the
House Majority and Minority Leaders.
Soon after its establishment, the 1985 AFIC realized that a
major objective was to begin institutionalizing the Department of
Defense's (DOD) inaugural role. While the importance of military
participation and support was evident, DOD's involvement had al-
ways been based more on tradition than statutory authority. To
address this situation, the AFIC submitted legislation to amend
the 1956 Presidential Inaugural Ceremonies Act. This amend-
ment would give DOD broader participatory authority and pro-
vide a legislative precedent for inaugural support. Additionally,
an Executive Order will be drafted which designates DOD as the
government's executive agent for planning, coordinating and
executing inaugural events. Concurrentlly, the AFIC will prepare
a DOD directive which precisely defines its role in future inaugu-
rations and provides a basis for institutionalizing Service respon-
sibilities. While the AFIC has the ultimate goal of enriching the
legacy for future inaugural planners, clearly its near term objec-
tive is to plan, coordinate and execute all 1985 inaugural events
requiring military support. Germane to both of these efforts is
the creation of a comprehensive inaugural plan, the importance
of which was recognized by previous committees but never
achieved.
This 1985 Plan will focus the talents and energies of over
12,000 Service personnel as they participate in the inauguration
of their Commander-in-Chief. The details of their involvement
will be contained in the plan's various supporting annexes and ap-
pendices. These enclosures will encompass the entire spectrum of
technical, logistical and administrative support. In addition to the
personal benefit derived from participating in this historic cele-
bration, these men and women will develop professional skills in
the planning, preparation and execution of a major national
event.
Once the inaugural events of 1985 have been completed and
the majority of the AFIC staff has moved to new assignments, a
core of AFIC planners will begin the monumental task of formally
documenting the role of governmental support for inaugurations.
This legacy for future planners will be based on a multi-volumed
record of the 1985 Inauguration. With the cooperation of govern-
mental and private organizations, the AFIC will concentrate on
preparing an inaugural operations guide. This manual will be the
first record of the entire range of inaugural support, serve as a
"how to" book for conducting future inaugurations, and become a
valuable reference for planning and conducting other national
events in the Capitol Region.
The men and women of the 1985 AFIC proudly accept the
opportunity to serve their nation in this challenging and historic
endeavor and view their participation as exciting and rewarding.
By working in harmony with thousands of other individuals in
government and private organizations charged with inaugural re-
sponsibilities, a fitting tribute will be paid to our Chief Executive.
More importantly, those who follow in our footsteps will be able
to perpetuate this privilege based on a legacy of excellence.

CHAPTER 1
Official Entertainment
Members of the Naval Service will find that at all points in their careers they can expect to be involved
to some extent in the planning and execution of official ceremonies and social events. Protocol is a code of
established guidelines on proper etiquette and precedence which, when followed, lays the foundation for a
successful event.
From this foundation, the host should consider the facets which make a particular situation unique, and
from there, use imagination to design a memorable occasion.
The most important consideration in planning should always be the comfort of one's guests. A clever
host/hostess is able to reach a proper mixture of protocol and common sense which will enable guests to
enjoy themselves completely. If this is accomplished, an event is truly successful.
PRECEDENCE
Precedence is defined as priority in place, time, or rank. In the Government, the Military and Diplomatic
Corps, precedence among individuals' positions plays a substantial role. That is, in day to day business,
ceremonial occasions, and social functions, we respect the office which the individual represents, by ranking
that individual according to our perception of the importance of his/her position.
Official position in the United States Government is determined by election or appointment to office, or
by promotion within the military structure. The relative importance of different positions is weighed, and
even the date of the position's establishment is frequently considered.
Military rank constitutes a clear basis for determining seniority among military personnel. Comparable
rank and the date of its attainment will decide the precedence among officers from the different services,
both United States and foreign.
By custom, reserve officers are ranked with, but after active duty officers of that same grade.
Retired officers are ranked similarly with their precedence following reserve officers of the same grade.
Diplomatic precedence is the result of international agreement. The precedence of chiefs of missions rests
upon the length of their service in that country. An ambassador who arrives and is accredited in April precedes
another who arrives and is accredited in November of that same year. An ambassador will always precede a
minister who heads a legation. Below the post of Chargé d'Affaires (the officer in charge of diplomatic business
in the absence of the ambassador or minister), precedence is based upon the position of the mission, which in
turn is determined by the ranking of its ambassador. For example, suppose the British Ambassador arrives and is
accredited in April of 1980. This becomes his/her date of precedence. When the Danish Ambassador arrives six
months later and is accredited in October of 1980, he/she succeeds the British Ambassador in precedence.
Because in this case, the British Ambassador outranks the Danish Ambassador, the British First Secretary will
outrank the Danish First Secretary.
Precedence does not always follow the individual. When an ambassador is on leave, or visiting his/her
home country, he/she does not hold the same status as when "on post". When an individual who was invited
to attend a function is unable to go and sends a representative, the latter is not accorded the former's place
of precedence.
We often consider precedence when we plan for seating at dinners, meetings or ceremonies. The list
which follows gives general guidelines for determining precedence among civil officials and Department of

SMOKING AT TABLE
It is considered extremely rude to bring one's cigarette to the table or to smoke throughout a meal.
Cigarettes may be passed just prior to the dessert course. Although there may be ash trays and cigarettes at
each place, the proper guest will be careful not to smoke until the host or hostess sets the example.
CONVERSATION AT TABLE
"Turning the table" is an outdated practice whereby all guests were obliged to follow simultaneously
the lead of the hostess in shifting conversational attention from the guest on the right to the one on the left.
Today, a person seated at a reasonably narrow table is expected to talk with immediate dinner companions
to the right and left and also with those across the table. The considerate guest is alert to speak with all
neighbors at the table, ending any exchange smoothly rather than at a signal from the hostess, and engaging
anyone not already involved in a conversation.
ORDER OF DEPARTURE
The ranking lady must make the initial move to depart. Generally, she should leave a formal dinner
within an hour of its conclusion, and allow perhaps a bit longer at an informal one, if she so desires. After
her departure, the other guests may follow without any further regard for precedence.
THANK YOU NOTES
A thoughtful guest will always write a thank you note to the host/hostess who has entertained him. It is
also thoughtful to send flowers or a gift for very special occasions.
It is generally not necessary to write a thank you note for large scale official functions, such as a
reception to which hundreds have been invited.

OPNAVINST 1710.7

CHAPTER 6
Receptions
Receptions are the most popular form of official entertainment for they allow wide variance in the
number of guests invited and in the formality of the occasion. They range from the very formal, which
might be a reception after 8:00 p.m. hosted by an ambassador in honor of his visiting chief of state, to the
less formal, perhaps that hosted by a military attache from 8 to 10 o'clock in the evening in celebration of
Armed Forces Day. The most common and least formal affair is held from approximately 6 to 8 o'clock,
frequently in honor of a visiting official or in celebration of some event.
Characteristically, receptions differ from the simple cocktail party in that they are intended to honor
individuals or a specific occasion, the atmosphere is somewhat more formal, their duration is prescribed, and
there is always a receiving line.
The thoughtful host/hostess who plans a reception in honor of a high-ranking official will consult with
the latter regarding a mutually agreeable date and time before ordering invitations. As indicated in Chapter
2, the person or the occasion being feted may be indicated on the invitation in one of several ways.
Guests should arrive before the receiving line disbands, normally within the first 35 minutes of the
reception. The order of persons in the receiving line may vary with the type of occasion and desires of the
hosting official.
The sequence which the Department of State follows for official functions in honor of high-ranking
dignitaries is:
Announcer
Host
Guest of Honor
Guest of Honor's Wife
Host's Wife
Extra Man
The announcer is often a military aide whose responsibility is to announce each guest by name.
The extra man avoids placing a woman at the end of the line. It is his function to move guests into the
reception area. Very often, however, this extra person will make the line entirely too long, in which case he
may be eliminated.
An alternative which is equally appropriate and which makes the relationship of those receiving clearer
to the guests is:
Announcer
Host
Host's Wife
Guest of Honor
Guest of Honor's Wife
Extra man
In the event that the official who is hosting and/or guest of honor are women, observe the following:
Announcer
Hostess
Hostess' Husband
Guest of Honor
Guest of Honor's spouse
Extra man, if a woman precedes him.
When the guest of honor is a head of State, the host and hostess relinquish their positions and the line
appears as:
Announcer
Chief of State
Spouse of the Chief of State
Host
Hostess
Extra man.
Guests do not shake hands with the aide/announcer. The guest should state his/her name and then
proceed through the line. In the case of couples, the guest who has been invited because of his/her official
capacity, precedes his/her spouse or date through the line.
A typical pattern of introduction which the aide may use is as follows. The aide receives the name of
the guest, turns to the host/hostess, after exchanging amenities, will turn to his/her spouse and say, "Mrs.
Brown, Mrs. James". The guest in proceeding down the line simply smiles, shakes hands, and greets each
person with, "How do you do" or "Good evening". Since names do not travel well, the guest should repeat
his/her name when necessary. One should never engage in extended conversation in a receiving line so as to
avoid holding the line up.
53
OPNAVINST 1710.7
17 JUL 1979
It is no longer necessary to leave calling cards at a reception, even at an event given by a senior officer
for officers of his command to consider "all calls made and returned".
ATTIRE
The expected attire for a reception should be specified on the invitation. In general, the following rules
apply:
Afternoon or Early Evening Reception (prior to 8:00 PM)
-Generally informal
-Military women and men: Seasonally appropriate service dress uniform.
-Civilian women: Street length or informal long dresses as current styles dictate
-Civilian men: Business suits.
Evening Reception (after 8:00 PM)
-Can be informal, formal, or very formal. If informal, the above rules apply. If formal, the
following is appropriate:
-
-Formal (Black Tie)
-Military men and women: Seasonal dinner dress uniform.
-Civilian women: Long formal gown.
-Civilian men: Black tie; tuxedo.
-Very Formal (White Tie) - Very seldom worn
-Military women and men: Formal dress uniform
-Civilian women: Very formal gowns.
-Civilian men: White tie; full dress evening wear.
NOTE: One should remember that the above dress code is a strict adherence to protocol as one would see
in Washington, D.C. Other areas of the country such as California or Hawaii are far less formal.

CHAPTER 11
Arranging Visits for Dignitaries
GENERAL GUIDELINES
The aide or visits officer who is required to handle local arrangements for the visit of a U.S. or foreign
dignitary, and perhaps his wife/her husband, necessarily confronts certain logistic, social, and protocol-related
problem areas. Often the itinerary has been clearly delineated by higher authority and local programing of
its execution is all that is required. Unfortunately, however, troublesome details often fail to occur to the
novice planner until difficulties develop. The following guidelines are provided to help eliminate problems.
PLANNING
The most minute detail of the visit must be carefully planned and a realistic amount of time allotted.
The names of all persons who are in any way associated with the visit, their exact duties and schedules, and
the minutia concerning transportation of persons and luggage should all be laid out well in advance of the
arrival of the dignitary. The following should be accomplished during the planning phase:
1. Ensure that all arrangements, including reservations for hotels and restaurants are in writing.
2. Ensure that dignitaries will be met and bade farewell by officers of commensurate rank whenever this
is possible. As a general rule, this requires that a flag officer be present at the arrival and departure of a flag
officer who is on an official visit.
3. Ensure that all drivers of the official party are briefed regarding their schedules and are given explicit
directions in order that they may operate independently if they become separated from the other cars.
4. Prepare a folio which contains at least a map of the area, the local schedule, and lists of room
assignments and telephone numbers for presentation to each member of the visiting party.
5. Provide billeting for the U.S. escort officer in the same building as the dignitary whenever possible.
Otherwise, make adequate transportation available to this escort.
6. Provide sufficient time in the schedule not only for meetings, calls, meals, etc., but also for changes
of clothes, coffee breaks, occasional rest periods, and transportation. The planner should actually time the
travel from place to place and allow extra time for boarding vehicles and baggage transfer.
7. Foreign dignitaries are usually accompanied by one or more aides of their own armed service.
Frequently, the latter are officers of the highest caliber who are destined for future positions of authority in
their country. They often form lasting impressions about the United States and the Navy on the basis of the
treatment accorded them as members of a visiting party. Special attention should also be given to their
transportation, dining, and recreational arrangements and needs..
8. It is important to consider the cultural background of visiting foreign dignitaries and accommodate
wherever possible individual religious preferences, food or beverage restrictions. Minimally, their living
accommodations should be single rooms in hotels and in BOQ's where room assignments should be made in
keeping with their status as members of a dignitary's party rather than their rank.
9. Give careful attention to scheduling the itineraries of wives of guests, especially those of foreign guests.
After determining their interests and programming them insofar as possible, plan additionally:
75
OPNAVINST 1710.7
17 JUL 1979
a. Sight-secing trips to view places of historic interest, scenery, or whatever the local area best affords.
b. Shopping tours, provided excellent stores offering American-made products are available. These may
include fashion shows.
c. Ladies luncheons. When the dignitary is given a stag luncheon, his wife should be given a luncheon
by her U.S. hostess or by another high ranking official's wife. Not only American officials' wives should attend.
but also notable local citizenry including those of the same national origin as the guest, and wives of consular
officials in the area, etc., should be invited.
d. Teas hosted by one or several U.S. wives to honor the visitor and her companions.
10. It is often helpful to prepare a checklist when planning any visit in order to avoid any oversights.
ENTERTAINMENT OF FOREIGN DIGNITARIES
There is a tendency in planning a local itinerary to resort to the more mundane type of entertainment
because its frequency of occurrence makes it easiest to plan. Use distinctive local resources to vary the
guests' exposure to American forms of entertainment. Also consider the feasibility of using ships' wardrooms
for luncheons and/or dinners as well as the usual shore facilities. Exposure to enlarged social circles can be
accomplished by having the hosting responsibility shared by different groups. Local-Navy League and civic
organizations are often willing to help entertain visiting dignitaries.
While it is true that it is preferable to invite persons of comparable station to a dinner or small party, it
is suggested that some variety may improve larger functions such as receptions. Accordingly, an attempt
should be made to include foreigners of the same national origin as the guest of honor as well as a
representative selection of junior officers.
THE ESCORT OFFICER
The local escort officer should be carefully chosen and briefed on all facets of the local schedule,
including potential problems and their probable best solutions. A written or oral briefing should also be
provided the U.S. escort officer who will be accompanying a foreign dignitary throughout his entire tour.
Such briefings should include the following often overlooked items.
1. Establish the uniform requirements for all planned activities. Ensure that escorts know that they too
must be in the requisite uniform for each event.
2. Ensure the local escort officer keeps the U.S. escort officer apprised of the schedule and any changes
thereto, and makes every attempt to avoid the element of surprise. The U.S. escort officer should be consulted
in order to keep abreast of any special requests or desires of the dignitary.
3. Ensure that both escort officers know the local short-notice cleaning facilities that exist, and
facilitate any cleaning desired by the dignitary or escort.
4. Inform the U.S. escort officer of the toasts which will be offered at formal luncheons and dinners
and of the appropriate responses thereto. Also notify him of any speeches or press interviews which may
have been scheduled in keeping with the desires of the dignitary.
5. Provide the escorts with information or reference material concerning the handling of any emergency
regarding messing, transportation, medical needs, etc., that may arise.
Whenever possible the U.S. escort officer should participate in the events scheduled for the dignitary
since he/she is the personal representative of the U.S. host, and his/her stature in the visitor's eyes should be
preserved. Occasionally, space may preclude the escort's inclusion in certain social events. Then, other
provisions for the escort's entertainment should be made by the activity.
It is wise to provide an escort for a foreign wife, taking into consideration any language barrier that may
exist, her age, and position. Escorts may be drawn from among officers or service wives whose language
capabilities, travel, or position would make them valuable to the guest.
76
OPNAVINST 1710.7
17 JUL 1979
HONORS
Honors ceremonies often cause undue consternation. Navy Regulations are sufficiently detailed to
answer all questions that may arise concerning appropriate honors to a U.S. or foreign dignitary. Only those
officials and officers specified by title or grade in Navy Regulations are entitled to honors.
It is noteworthy that during honors to a foreign official, either ashore or afloat, the national flag of the
visitor is hoisted during the salute. If the foreign visitor is 3 military official, the visitor's personal flag, if
provided. may be flown for honor ceremonies and from automobiles while abourd a naval activity. If no flag
is provided by a foreign military officer. the appropriate flag of a U.S. Navy officer with stars equivalent to
the foreigner's grade may be flown from a car, and a comparable plate shown on a military plane
transporting the dignitary.
Flags for specific positions (i.e., SecNav, CNO, VCNO, etc.) are not to be used for visitors. In these
cases, either the military rank equivalent flag (for officers) or national ensign (for civilians) should be used
for honor ceremonies.
In accordance with Article 1044 of U.S. Navy Regulations, dated 26 February 1973, during all first
official visits for foreign service chiefs, the rank of the visitor is equal to that of the U.S. counterpart.
Therefore, a U.S. Navy line officer four star flag is flown for visiting foreign navy chiefs (not CNO personal
flag) even though the individual's military rank may be less than 0-10 pay grade.

Forms of Address
The following diagrams listed alphabetically indicate the title and forms of address for certain
distinguished Americans and foreigners and are offered as a ready reference for those whose official duties
may involve them in written or oral exchange with these persons.
In addition, the following general rules apply:
"His/Her Excellency" is used in addressing a foreign ambassador. It is written out on the line above
the name, and a little to the left. Occasionally, it is abbreviated as "H.E." just before the name, but this
format is less acceptable.
-
"The Honorable" is used in addressing American ambassadors and other high officials of the government
as indicated in the following list. Once an individual receives this title, he/she retains it despite retirement
from the position.
"The Honorable" is written out in full, on the line above the individual's name and a little to the left.
Although occasionally it is abbreviated as "The Hon." or "Hon." in business letters, it is not preferred
American social usage.
When inviting a married woman because of her position, it is appropriate to mention her name and/or
title first, followed by her husband. That is, the American Ambassador and Mr. Doe. Conversely, if the
invitation is extended because of his official position, use his title and/or name first, followed by hers:
The
Honorable
The Secretary of Defense
and Mrs. Smith.
There may be occasions in which it is desirable to use both individuals' titles but in general, this is
cumbersome.
Married Military Woman. When a married servicewoman is invited in her official capacity to an event,
the invitation should indicate her rank:
- If her husband is a civilian:
Commander Maureen Therese Green and Mr. Green
- If her husband is also in the military:
Commander Elizabeth Eileen Smith
Captain Timothy Daniel Smith
If, however, the invitation is being sent because of the husband's official position, the invitation should
read:
Captain Thomas Francis Jones
and Captain Shawn Claire Jones
or
Captain and Mrs. Thomas Jones

Other Forms of Address
A Navy chaplain is always addressed verbally as "Chaplain":
Chaplain Ray Burt or Chaplain Burt
In writing or in formal announcement, he/she is addressed as:
- Chaplain Ray Burt
Captain, U.S. Navy
(Title, if any)
- Dear Chaplain Burt,
A Navy dentist or doctor is addressed verbally as Doctor up to and including the rank of Lieutenant
Commander. He/she is addressed by rank from Commander and above. In all cases, the rank is used in
writing.
Midshipman is a rank and therefore used for both males and females:
Midshipman Brian Richard Smith.
Midshipman Shawn Clair Taylor.
Introductions
There are three basic rules to remember when introducing two individuals:
1. A man is introduced to a woman.
2. A younger adult is introduced to an older adult of the same sex.
3. An officer of lower rank is introduced to one of higher.
In general most introductions go wrong when an individual is too wordy. The following formats are
best:
"Mrs. Smith - Mr. Jones" (directed to Mrs. Smith)
"General Smith - Captain White" (directed to General Smith)
"This is Admiral Jones" spoken to Mrs. Smith, then to the Admiral, "Mrs. Smith"
When formal introductions are necessary (high church, military, or government officials, royalty, or
guest speaker) the following is appropriate:
"Mrs. White, I have the honor to present Mr. Smith"
"Admiral Jones, may I present Ensign Doe"
AMERICAN DIGNITARIES
(For simplicity, the male gender is used throughout. When the official is a woman, change those parts which
are italicized (first names, Madam for Mister when preceding a title, and Mister for Mrs. when referred to a
spouse).

INITIALS OF BRITISH HONORS, DECORATIONS,
AND MEDALS
The initials of various distinctions are placed after the surname whenever the individual's name appears
alone and on envelopes, and in the address section of a letter. They rank as follows: Orders of knighthood,
decorations, medals, civil distinctions, academic degrees, fellowship in royal societies, and membership in
religious orders.
It is customary to put only two abbreviations after a name, using the two differing honors highest in
rank for this purpose and adding "etc.", if the addressee has more than two. The abbreviations are in capital
letters, the last of which is followed by a period, as Admiral Sir Peter Ryan, KBE., CB., DSO.
ORDERS OF KNIGHTHOOD ACCORDING TO PRECEDENCE

The preceding guidelines are based on the protocol requirements of Washington, D.C. In other areas of
the country, such as California or Hawaii, social occasions call for far less formal attire. When in doubt,
inquire as to local custom.
For additional information on the composition of specific uniforms, refer to the current U.S. Navy
Uniform Regulations.
The increased informality in modern day living dictates a wide latitude in apparel; therefore, guests
should be encouraged to feel comfortable in whatever they choose to wear.

GUIDE
TO
DINING
and
the
1983
Guide
to Dining
As
two well-known food critics aptly noted in their
recent book on Washington, the nation's capital
"virtually overnight has become a smorgasbord of
eating opportunities." Whether your tastes run to
seafood or southeast Asian, Nepalese or northern
Italian, American or European, there's an area eating
establishment among the more than 200 listed in this
Guide that is going to please you.
After dinner, there are dozens of nightclubs and
evening spots that can keep you entertained until the
early hours of the morning. Jazz and rock, blues and
ballroom, the city's musical offerings are as varied as
the performers themselves. Night spots range from
the intimate or casual to the grand and elegant, with a
touch of even the exotic from time to time.
For help locating the particular restaurant of your
choice, we suggest that you stop by the Washington
Tourist Information Center at 14th and Pennsyl-
vania Avenue, NW (Department of Commerce,
Great Hall). Just one block from the White House, the
Center provides free maps, brochures and infor-
mation on touring the nation's capital. Hours are
Mon.-Fri., 9 am to 5 pm; Sat. and Sun. 9 am to 5 pm
(Memorial Day-Labor Day). Spring and summer
hours determined annually. The Center's phone
number is 789-7000.
We hope the information listed will help you plan a
delightful series of meals during your visit. Please
note that all information in this brochure is subject to
change without notice. Should you wish to verify
information on a particular restaurant or nightclub,
we suggest you call the number listed to get the
latest word on where you would like to go.
Welcome to Washington, D.C., and happy eating!

PHOTO TIPS
JOHN FISH
JOHN FISH
For sharp pictures, hold your camera steady and gently
squeeze the shutter release. With an adjustable camera,
use a shutter speed of at least 1/100 to 1/125 second, If
your subject is moving, use a faster shutter speed, such
as 1/250 or 1/500 second.
With an adjustable camera, follow the exposure sugges-
tions in the film instructions. The instructions and film
carton also give the film-speed number to set on expo-
sure meters and some automatic cameras.
To get clear pictures, keep the camera lens clean. Blow
away any dust, breathe on the lens, and wipe it gently with
a clean, soft, lintless cloth. Do not use treated tissues
intended for eyeglasses.
Indoors, use flash and move in close to your subject. If
you're too far away when using flash, the picture will be
very dark. Check your camera instruction manual for
appropriate distances with your camera.

wiping with a rough cloth. Check batteries frequently.
Make title pictures for your slide show, movie, or photo
album by photographing signs of important landmarks.
Use fresh film (check the date on the box) and have it
processed promptly.
Heat spoils film. Never store your film and camera in an
area of your car where they might be affected by direct
sunlight or by the heat of the engine or the exhaust.
Bad weather can mean good pictures if you have an
adjustable or automatic camera, or a simple camera that
will accept a high-speed film. Fog, rain, and dark clouds
can provide unusual lighting effects and moods.

General Instructions for Military Aides
1. Final assignments of military aides to a Distinguished Guest has not been
accomplished. You will be notified of that assignment at the earliest
possible time.
2. All Distinguished Guests will have a Military Aide assigned on a permanent
basis from 14 January through 21 January. Whether the Aide will be utilized
or not depends on the individual guest. In addition to a Military Aide, a
civilian Aide may also be appointed. If one is appointed you should get to
know the civilian Aide at the earliest possible time to coordinate your
duties and exchange information.
3. Your responsibility as an Aide to the Distinguished Guest is outlined
below. However, this is only a guide and you should be prepared to accom-
modate the person to the maximum extent possible, keeping in mind your grade
and position.
a. Respect the personal nature of many of your duties by refraining from
discussion of such confidential matters with others.
b. In carrying out your duties, conscientiously keep your Distinguished
Guest advised of your whereabouts.
C. You will be authorized to correspond directly with the guest after
the initial contact by the committee. A copy of all correspondence will be
included in your after-action report.
d. Meet your Distinguished Guest upon arrival in Washington and escort the
party to the location where they will stay. It is your responsibility to know
the arrival time and method of transportation. Schedule the military
driver and sedan well in advance of the requirements.
e. Upon arrival in the Washington area, arrange with the Distinguished
Guest for a briefing of activities that have been scheduled to determine the
itinerary that he/she wishes to follow. You are being provided a packet con-
taining briefing material. After determining which functions the guest wishes
to attend, determine the departure and arrival times. The timely arrival of
the Distinguished Guest at the official functions is your responsibility. You
will accompany the Distinguished Guest to all functions.
f. Pick up tickets and other related passes that will be required for
entrance and parking from the Military Aides Committee.
g. Should the guest request assistance in clerical or other administrative
support, notify the Military Aides Committee.
H. Be prepared to escort the Distinguished Guest's spouse and family to
social or recreational functions as requested.
14
i. You should be prepared to participate in all social activities.
(As required or Desired by the VIP.)
j. Your initial face to face contact with your Distinguished Guest
should be made in uniform. At that meeting you should establish an
understanding with your Distinguished Guest concerning when you are to wear
the uniform. In any case, you will wear the uniform at all functions
unless your Distinguished Guest specifically requests civilian clothes.
The appropriate military dress applicable to your branch of service will be
worn at the Inaugural Ceremony and the Inaugural Ball.
4. The military driver of the Distinguished Guest's official automobile is
your responsibility. Contact him as soon as he has been identified. His
loyalty and cooperation can be a major factor in your success as an aide.
Insure that he is completely briefed on his destination and how to get there,
that he has selected alternate routes in anticipation of the delays, etc.,
that he is neat and smart in appearance, and that he keeps the Distinguished
Guest's car clean, inside and out. Arrange a rendezvous point for each func-
tion in case of separation, give the driver both your phone number and
Distinguished Guest's phone number.
5. Familiarize yourself with the building in which functions are to be
held. Ascertain the proper entrance to use. Know where the Distinguished
Guest is to sit and the whereabouts of the rest rooms, cloak rooms, etc.
6. Aides are not expected to pay the personal expenses of official guests such
as meals, entertainment, flowers, and similar costs. These costs are
appropriately the responsibility of the guests. If Aides do incur any of costs
on behalf of these persons, they should seek reimbursement directly from them.
Contact the guests administrative staff to determine details for such support.
In some cases the Aides will incur unusual logistic expenses in the performance
of their duties such as, cab-fares, parking costs, and telephone calls. If,
for some reason the VIP or his staff does not reimburse you, then committee
will reimburse Aides for these out-of-pocket expenses when incurred as a part of
their duties. The reimbursement procedures in these cases are simple and
direct. Small size voucher blanks will be provided SO that you may maintain a
pocket record of your expenses as they occur. These vouchers will be submitted
to the Presidential Inaugural Committee Accounting Office for reimbursement as
soon as possible after the expenditure, and in all cases not later than the date
of submission of their After-Action Report.
7. In some cases the official guest may have a civilian assistant and/or
security guard that you will need to contact to coordinate your duties and
exchange information.
15
8. The following are brief points that will assist you in your role
as a Military Aide.
a. The Distinguished Guest may desire to attend a State Society Reception,
if held. A call to the office of a Senator from his/her state will usually
get you all the details.
b. If the guest desires to dine out, reservations will be a must.
C. Know the location of churches of the guest's faith and the time of
services.
d. Make arrangements with a florist for delivery of flowers on short
notice.
e. Know the location of a cleaning establishment which can give fast
cleaning and pressing service, both for yourself and the guest.
f. Know how to contact the guest's office in case of emergency.
g. It may prove helpful to some to prepare a schedule for guest spouse.
h. Keep a small sewing kit handy.
i. A blanket, flash light and first aid kit will be provided to VIP
vehicles.
j. Check out hotel rooms prior to guests arrival.
k. Maintain possession and control of all tickets.
1. Know medical conditions of VIP family in the event of emergency. Know
if anyone is taking medications regularly.
m. Uniforms. Anticipate requirements, plan ahead in the course
of your duties, you may tear or soil a uniform. You will be safer in
the long run if you anticipate every possibility. Have the next uni-
form readily accessible for the next event.
n. Have ample ready cash available.
O. Ensure your personal car is in proper maintenance.
p. Discuss with the guest the establishment of a petty fund to cover
expenditures for flowers, dry cleaning, gratuities, etc.
16
q. Establish contingency rendezvous points with driver.
r. Keep a file on each social event, whether or not your VIP has indicated
he will attend.
S. Be authoritative/assertive when seeking services/access for your VIP.
t. Insure all drivers (in the event of large parties) are briefed with iti-
neraries and rendezvous points. Provided them a copy of itinerary.
u. Attempt to contact the VIP's personal security officer to exchange
information prior to arrival. He travels with VIP and knows most of
his personal desires.
V. Impress upon your VIP the importance of ordering tickets well in
advance so they are received by mail.
W. Keep spare clothes/toilet articles available to freshen up or in the
event that you don't make it home.
X. Hold all tickets, if possible.
y. If you leave the car, take your radio.
2. Consider equipping your car with kleenex, nail clippers, flashlight, pens
paper, scotch tape, etc.
Additionally
a. Determine how your VIP wishes to handle the press.
b. Conduct a reconnaissance of all sites (parking, access, routes) with your
driver prior to the inaugural period.
C. Be prepared for 18 hour workdays, although they may be less.
d. Punctuality will require allowances for crowds, parking and traffic.
e. Be assertive. Take charge when neccessary, but do not sacrafice tact,
you are on display.
17
9. Liaison with Distinguished Guests office personnel:
a. Establish communication with VIP's office as soon as possible. In
your first conversation with his secretary, request that the following items
of information be available for your first meeting, SO as to minimize the
actual time you spend with her during your first meeting, thus establishing
an organized, well thought out approach to your duties during the inaugural
period.
(1) List all events that VIP plans to attend. Tentative events
should also be included just in case they are later included.
(2) The number in the VIP's party and whether or not the number will
increase or decrease during the Inaugural period.
(3) List of those events at which VIP will be either guest of honor
or will be in a receiving line (so that you'll be sure and get him there on
time without delaying other people).
(4) Biography of VIP.
(5) List of names of office personnel (home and work telephone num-
bers) that will be involved in planning or scheduling social events during the
inaugural period.
(6) Whether or not your VIP will be a special White House Guest at
any of the functions. Ticket procurement may be different.
(7) Name and telephone number of VIP's doctor.
10. Find out in as much detail as possible what your VIP's knowledge is of
military aides' duties. Then cover the following topics with secretary:
a. First, give her a typed card that has all your personal and work
telephone numbers and addresses.
b. Explain your communication system - calling the VIP's office each
morning and late afternoon so as to up-date all information.
C. Tell her that you will generally brief the VIP on the way to each
event to refresh his memory as to who will be there, how long the reception
will be, and mention his role at a reception if he is a guest of honor or in
the receiving line.
11. Standards of Conduct
Aides will not accept gifts with significant intrinsic value, as defined by
appplicable service directives. Should they be presented with a gift under cir-
cumstances which preclude refusal, Aides will dispose of it IAW their respective
service's directives.
19
12. Termination of Duty
It is expected that your duty will end by 22 January 1985 except for the
After-Action report due on 25 January 1985.
13. After-Action Report
Each Personal Aide and Senior Social Aide of a specific event is required
to submit an After-Action Report. The form to be used can be found in the
Aide Training Packet.
Keep a record of your actions. Include your comments, observations and
recommendations in this record. The record and your observations will be
required in an After Action Report of your activities to be submitted in
memorandum form to the Military Aides Commitee by COB 25 January 1985.
This report should include a summary of: functions attended, observations,
recommendations, comments, problems encountered, etc.
14. Security and Intelligence
If an Aide receives a threat or any intelligence indicating a threat to
the principals or activities of the inauguration, contact the J-2 Security sec-
tion immediately. (202 453-8941)
15. Telephone Calls
If aides are required to place local or long distance calls as a part of
their aide duties, they should use FTS, WATS, AUTOVON, or similar facilities if
possible. No direct or commercial billing will result from these calls. If
these facilities are not available for some reason and commercial lines must
be used, aides should utilize reimbursement procedures discussed in
paragraph 6.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPECIAL AIDES
1. Final assignments of Special Aides to specific events has not been
accomplished. You will be notified of that assignment when it is made in late
December. You can anticipate supporting two events, with one of them being an
Inaugural Ball.
2. You will be required to attend some meetings and rehearsals during the
period leading up to the Inaugural. These meetings will at the discretion of
the Senior Special Aide for each event, consistent with the event coordinator's
guidance. Attendance at rehearsals is mandatory for all participants.
3. A Senior Special Aide will be designated for each event. He will be pro-
vided with a roster of assigned aides, and selected background information about
the event. The Senior Special Aide will coordinate with PIC and AFIC personnel
throughout the planning sequence, then brief/rehearse his assigned aides as
necessary. Once assigned to an event, aides will coordinate directly with the
respective Senior Special Aide.
4. Your responsibilities as a Special Aide are outlined below. This is only a
guide, and you should be prepared to accomodate any contingencies that arise.
Flexibility is the by word!
a. Circulate and socialize with guests.
b. Provide information and assist guests as needed.
C. Assist Military Aides in the performance of their duties.
d. Assist at VIP entrances.
e. Coordinate with medical aide stations.
f. Assist handicapped guests.
g. Serve in the cordon for the President and Vice President.
h. Facilitate VIP movements.
i. Act as trouble shooter at key locations.
j. Attend all rehearsals.
k. Be familiar with all aspects of the assigned event.
5. Techniques:
a. Purpose. This section describes some of the duties of Social Aides. It
is imperative that Aides become thoroughly familiar with this section, to the
point of it becoming second nature!
22
b. Mix and Mingle. Perhaps the greatest number of hours as a Social Aide
are spent mixing and mingling with the guests. This duty, more than any other,
is an opportunity for one-on-one contact between Aides and guests. Its purpose
is to insure that the guests derive the maximum possible enjoyment from their
event. Common sense is the best rule to follow.
(1) Make yourself available to the guests. A friendly smile and warm
greeting will often lead to conversation.
(2) Be attentive for guests who appear to be left out of conversations,
or are alone. Try to start conversation, or introduce the guest to another. If
the guest does not seem receptive, do not press. Respect the guest's desire to
be alone.
(3) Familiarity with the event and facility are essential.
(4) In making conversation with guests, choose topics with care. Avoid
discussing political topics, even if they seem innocent. Beware of compromising
classified information or facts learned in confidence.
(5) Do not join other guests' conversations unless invited. If your
duties require that you break in on a conversation, do SO with careful courtesy.
Normally this may be done by standing a few feet away from the group and looking
at them. Your uniform will attract attention, and once eye contact is made, you
are in. Occasionally it may be necessary to speak in order to gain the guest's
attention. When this is the case, try to do SO during a break in conversation.
(6) Aides should not congregate in groups of more than two. Two
constitute a natural conversation group, and will allow your presence in the
crowd to be more natural. Groups larger than two prohibit guests from
interrupting your conversations, and require more of your own attention within
the group of aides. Even in pairs, your attention must be on the guests, and
your posture should be open, facing half way from each other, SO as to invite
others to join you.
(7) When Aides do not have a function at an event they should never
congregate in groups at the back of rooms or elsewhere. This does not present
the proper image of working Aides and can be somewhat intimidating to guests.
Aides should refrain from socializing with each other at events except in the
line of duty.
C. Guest Movement. This is the second largest part of the Aide's duties.
Here are a few points which will make this task easier:
(1) When directing the flow of guests, stand with your shoulders in
line with their direction of movement. This posture by itself will indicate to
most guests the direction in which you wish them to move. Watch the guests. If
they appear uncertain, make a small gesture with one hand in the direction they
should go. Similarly, body posture can be adjusted to block guests by turning
the shoulders perpendicular to their direction of movement. Be conscious of
your body position, and avoid sending accidental signals which may confuse the
guests.
23
(2) When clearing a room, discreetly break in on conversations in the
back of the room to start guests moving toward the door. This will gain the
attention of other guests as well. All of the Aides clearing the room should be
generally on a line at the back of the room. As the party leaves, the line
advances to a point close to the next group of guests. The unseen pressure on
the line, coupled with the movement of other guests, will convey your message
with minimal interruption of the guests' conversations. In heavy crowds, it is
sometimes necessary to accompany this with one or two Aides near the door to
"pull" guests from the room, as well as those in the rear to "push" them.
d. Movement of a Principal in Crowds. The objective of this duty is to
maintain a clear corridor in front of the principal to allow for free movement.
Secondly, two Aides should closely follow the principal on either side to insure
that he is not grabbed from behind, halting movement. Eye contact is critical
when assisting the movement of principals in order to maintain coordination bet-
ween Aides and the Secret Service.
(1) In most situations, Aides should form a cordon, facing inward with
backs to the crowd. The interval between Aides should be no more than a body's
width. The hands may be raised slightly from the sides to block guest entry.
Courtesy to the guests must be emphasized to avoid assuming the appearance of a
police barricade. Usually a fixed cordon is used, in which Aides stand fast
until after the principal has passed, close in behind to close the rear of the
cordon, and then gradually disperse into the crowd.
(2) When there are insufficient Aides to form a cordon over the entire
length of movement a moving cordon is formed. In this form, Aides move
sideways, along the corridor, matching their movement to that of the principals.
The Aides at the front of the cordon part the crowd while the opening is gra-
dually widened along the length of the cordon. It is important that the move-
ment of the cordon start from the end next to the principal, and that Aides move
only when forced to do SO by the movement of the Aide next to them. Otherwise,
gaps will develop allowing guests to enter the cordon.
(3) In a light crowd, or when guests are not expected to press the
principal, a simple escort may be used. This is done by leading the principal
with two Aides to clear a path and two following.
(4) If the principal desires to mingle with the crowd, Aides should be
alert to provide assistance. Frequently the presence of an Aide beside the
principal on either side will alleviate pressing and cause the crowd to flow
past the principal in a sort of informal receiving line. If required, a moving
cordon may be formed when the principal desires to depart.
e. Escorting. Escorting is a formal method of providing individual atten-
tion to each guest.
(1) When escorting a lady, place her on your right, in the position of
honor, unless the physical surroundings make this awkward. Offer your arm in a
manner such that the lady may place her hand upon it or may hook her arm inside
your elbow at her choice. If the lady does not take your arm, simply walk
beside her; do not force her to take your arm. Female aides never offer their
arm to a guest, but may take a gentleman's arm if it is offered and refusal
would be awkward.
24
(2) Occasionally, it may be necessary to escort a principal into or out
of an event. The aide, in this case will generally control the direction of the
movement, but the principal will control the speed, pausing for conversation at
will. Female principals should be offered the arm of male aides. Male aides
should walk generally beside or very slightly ahead of male principals, or
behind the principal if he has been briefed on where he should be moving at that
time. Avoid blocking photo opportunities, or being over-obvious in photos.
6. The following are lessons learned during previous Inaugurations:
a. Define the proper role of Special Aides to the PIC event coordinator.
This is often misunderstood.
b. You are responsible to "know the ropes", answer all questions, and assist
Military Aides.
C. Gain all information about itinerary of the principal VIP/VIP's at your
event.
d. Expect to "carry the show" late into events. Civilian Aides tend to
disappear once the event begins.
e. Select an OIC for cordons. This is essential to flexibility.
f. Double check cordon requirements. There has been tendency to under
estimate requirements in the past.
g. Insure that beverage points are not located near existing traffic choke-
points.
h. Escalators pose a hazard. When crowded conditions exist at the
"destination" level, escalators continue to shove people up there with no room
to debark. Consideration should be given to shutting them off at a specific
time, or altogether.
i. Become familiar with the forms of address in the protocol extract. In
all cases, the words "sir" or "ma'am" should be automatic.
j. When making introductions, always present the junior to the senior and
gentlemen to ladies. For example, "Mr. Secretary, this is Mr. Jones," or "Mrs.
Smith, this is Mr. Jones".
k. A gentleman always follows his lady, except in the receiving line when
the gentleman will precede his lady.
1. Never touch a guest except as a last resort. Many are offended by this
action. It is almost always possible to get a guest's attention by standing
nearby or by speaking.
m. Keep all gestures conservative. When giving directions, keep the elbows
near the sides, the hands no higher than waist level. This gives your gestures
an air of informality and avoids interfering with other guests or attracting
25
undue attention. Never point or wave. To signal other aides, use eye contact,
a nod, or hand signals, with the hand at the side, against the uniform jacket,
or near the neck. Be dignified and inconspicuous.
n. Proper social etiquette can be defined as "common sense". Use it!
7. If an aide receives a threat or any intelligence indicating a threat to the
principals or activities for the Inauguration, contact the committee
immediately.
8. Credentials will be distributed at the January training session .
9. Standards of Conduct.
Aides will not accept gifts with significant intrinsic value, as defined by
applicable service directives. Should they be presented with a gift under cir-
cumstances which preclude refusal, Aides will dispose of it IAW their their
respective service directives.
10. Each Senior Special Aide is required to submit an After-Action Report to Military Aid
Division NLT 25 January 1985. This report should include a summary of: func-
tions attended, observations, recommendations, comments, problems encountered,
etc. Keep a record of your actions.
11. If you have any questions in regard to your duties, contact MAJ Snow or LCDR
McWhirter, Military Aides Division, 433-7857/7858.
