RE: General information
DA: January 22, 1993
Following is some general information:
ACCESS - Effective immediately, all staff members who
receive a brown pass at the gate will be able to make
appointments for visitors or staff to enter the WH, the OEOB
and the NEOB. Staff who receive a green pass can make
appointments into the OEOB and the NEOB. Appointments are
arranged by contacting the Waves Center at x6742 and stating
your name, the full name of the person who is visiting and
their date of birth.
KEYS - Keys to West Wing offices and secured rooms in the
OEOB (offices with alarms) can be picked up in Room 23
(x4295).
PARKING - Commissioned officers (Assistants, Deputies and
Special Assistants to the President) have been assigned
parking on West Executive Avenue. Permits can be picked up
in my office on the ground floor of the West Wing.
Unassigned parking on the Ellipse is available on a limited
basis. Available permits will be given on a percentage
basis to department heads by Monday, January 25. The
department head is responsible for deciding who receives
parking privileges. Although we would like to accommodate
everyone's needs, parking is limited.
REQUESTS - All requests for furniture, computers, pagers,
phones, beepers, etc. should be submitted in writing to the
Office of Management & Administration located in the ground
floor of the West Wing of the White House.
EXECUTIVE MESS - The President, Assistants to the President
and Cabinet members may eat in the Executive Mess which is
open Monday through Saturday, except holidays. Lunch is
served in two settings; one at 12:00p.m. and one at 1:15p.m.
WHITE HOUSE STAFF MESS - Only Commissioned Officers may eat
in the White House Staff mess. However, all West Wing staff
may order carry out food by calling x4192. Food may not be
brought through the residence. Reservations or accounts for
either mess can be arranged by calling x6377 (XMESS).
OEOB MESS - The mess on the ground floor of the OEOB is open
to all staff. It closes at approximately 2:00 p.m.
HELP LINE - The help line (x1100) is still open to answer
any of your questions.
If you have any questions or need additional information feel
free to contact the office of Management & Administration at
x2681 or x7052.

RE:
Furniture
This is to request a book hutch or organizer for my Executive
Assistant located in the West Wing/2nd Floor. The type of
furniture that would be appropriate is similar to the desk with
overhead bookshelves mounted to the top of the desks. A similar
desk is located in Bob Rubin's office. This would be more
practical and more organized for our purposes.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact Ruby
Moy on x7620.
Thanks very much.

RE: Software
The Office of Public Liaison (OPL) would like to request some
additional software for our computer systems.
In order to meet our needs, this office will need database
software. The database will drive the mission of this office --
without it, we will be unable to track interest groups,
constituents and the contacts that we have made with these
groups. Currently OPL can only access WordPerfect 5.0.
Databases such as FoxPro or DBase is what will be needed.
Additionally, is it possible that our WordPerfect 5.0 be updated
to 5.1? It is my understanding that the incremental features
found in this version are enough to get 5.1.
The OPL office will be needing this as soon as is possible.
Thank you for your help. Do not hesitate to call if you have any
questions.

RE:
Request New Phone Numbers
I would like to express to you how very urgent it is for my
office in the West Wing/2nd Floor to have new phone numbers never
before assigned.
This morning is very similar to other mornings. Each day there
are several dozen phone calls to the numbers on my directory
(x7620, 7621, 7622, 7623).
People are calling these numbers because the main number x7620
is listed in the Federal Directory, The Yellow Book, over the
radio stations, etc. Many of the callers are asking for other
White House staffers' extensions or numbers to Cabinet members.
They also ask for pictures of the President, copies of his
speeches and/or press releases, how to reach other people in
other agencies, complaint calls in general, etc.
I have only one staffer in the West Wing and it has become very
time-consuming to have her field all these different types of
phone calls.
Please, may I ask that you expeditiously change these numbers as
soon as possible.
Thanks very much.
