THE ARRIVAL CEREMONY
A Brief History
Today's arrival ceremony maintains many of its
original precepts dating back to the early days of the
Republic. Yet the program has evolved along with
our Nation. During the Truman administration, the
visiting Chiefs of State and Heads of Government
would be met at Washington National Airport with
an honor guard. The visitor would review the honor
guard and President Truman would give remarks
of welcome followed by the visitor's remarks. The
President and his guests would then proceed to
their vehicles and drive to Washington with a
motorcade that would be met with an escort of
marching troops and bands.
For President Eisenhower's administration, the
air terminal was changed to Andrews Air Force
Base, but the tradition for the parade remained.
The ceremony site was the West Grounds of the
Washington Monument, and later the Ellipse.
President Kennedy's administration brought the
arrival ceremony to the South Lawn of the White
House. The welcoming ceremony on the South
Lawn provides a beautiful site for a warm and
dignified welcome for the foreign visitor.
