Jones Files at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library\nJune 16, 1975\nMEMORANDUM FOR:\nMR. RICHARD B. CHENEY\nFROM:\nTERRY O'DONNELL\nSUBJECT:\nFirst Family Use of the SEQUOLA\nBill Gulley talked to me about the First Family use of the SEQUOIA and\nasked for some guidance.\nHis problem is this: Steve or Susan have called on very, very short\nnotice to request the SEQUOLA. Usually this is no problem; however,\nIt would be helpful for the Military Office to be able to alert the crew\na short time in advance.\nThe problem comes in the case of conflicts. The President has approved\nthe use of the SEQUOIA by Cabinet Members, senior White House staff,\netc. Bill Gulley's problem is what to do If a First Family member asks\nfor the boat at the last minute and it is already committed to a Cabinet\nMember, a group of Congressmen hosted by the Congressional Office,\nor a senior Staff member of the White House who has invited a group.\nWe can do one of two things: (1) Either pre-empt the boat for a First\nFamily request or (2) Advise Steve, Jack or Susan that the boat is already\nbooked and is not available for that evening.\nObvieusly, the President should decide which policy he prefers. It would\nbe helpful If you discussed this with him to (1) alert him to the fact that\nwe will ask Susan and Jack and Steve to try to let the Military Office know\na little in advance when they wish to have the boat and (2) get the President's\ndesires as to whether or not there should be pre-emption rights by the\nFirst Family.\nLIBRARY GERALD R.
