    White House Interview Program DATE: July 8, 1999 INTERVIEWEE: LLOYD CUTLER INTERVIEWER: Martha Kumar With Nancy Kassop MK: May we tape? LC: Yes, but I’d like to have one understanding. I have been misquoted on more than one occasion. I’ll be happy to talk to you about what I think about the transition but I don’t want my name attached to any of it. MK: Okay. So we’ll come back to you for any quotes. We’re going to look at both aspects: the transition itself and then the operations of the office. Working on the theory that one of the things that would be important for people is to understand how an effective operation works, what should they be aiming toward? For example, what is a smooth-running counsel’s office? What are the kinds of relationships that should be established and that sort of thing? So, in addition to looking at the transition, we’re just hoping they’re looking toward effective governance. In your time in Washington, observing many administrations from various distances, you have a good sense of transitions, what works and what doesn’t work. One of the things we want to do is isolate what are the elements of success—just take a number, six elements, five elements—that you think are common to successful transitions. What makes them work? LC: Well, the most important thing to grasp first is how much a White House itself, especially as it starts off after a change in the party occupying the White House, resembles a city hall.

  • FINDING and USING PRESIDENTIAL DISCRETION Organization Should Make Freedom of Choice Possible
    A non-partisan consortium of public and private universities and other research organizations, the White House Transition Project focuses on smoothing the transition of power in the American Presidency. Its “Reports” series applies scholarship to specific problems identified by those who have borne the responsibilities for governing. Its “Briefing” series uses extensive interviews with practitioners from the past seven White Houses to produce institutional memories for most of the primary offices in the West Wing operation of the presidency. Find the two publication series of the White House Transition Project, WHTP Reports and Institutional Memory Series Briefing Books on its website: WhiteHouseTransitionProject.org. © The White House Transition Project, 2007 2009-04 PRESIDENTIAL WORK DURING THE FIRST HUNDRED DAYS Terry Sullivan Executive Director, The White House Transition Project Political Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Director, Presidential Transition Program, James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy Abstract: This report covers the presidential work schedules of Presidents Dwight Eisenhower through George H. W. Bush during their first 100 days in office. It reports on patterns of work carrying out presidential responsibilities and reviews a number of strategies for expanding the president’s discretion and using that discretion to affect policy. The report concludes that adopting an hierarchical White House organizational structure, one commanded by a White House Chief of Staff, improves the president’s workday, finds more opportunities for discretion, and broadens the cadre of the president’s “inner circle.” It identifies a number of opportunities for increased presidential discretion beyond controlling the numbers of ceremonial events on the president’s schedule.

    “Charles Konigsberg has done a great service for American taxpayers--giving all of us a clear, direct and meaningful guide to the $3 trillion of our money that goes to the government to fund programs that shape our daily lives (for better or worse.) For one used to wading through gobbledygook or impenetrable jargon, the plainspoken, straightforward actual English in this book is especially refreshing. Every American concerned about federal taxing and spending--Democrat, Republican or other, budget analyst or average citizen--should have this book.” Norman Ornstein, Resident Scholar, American Enterprise Institute “This is an extremely useful book--both for those seeking a comprehensible introduction to the complexities of the federal budget and to practitioners needing a quick refresher course.” Alice M. Rivlin, former Director, Office of Management and Budget, and Congressional Budget Office “Charles Konigsberg, who advised my good friend Pat Moynihan on fiscal policy, explains in clear and concise language why the United States is on a dangerous fiscal path, with entitlement programs, particularly the health care entitlements, growing at an unsustainable rate due to rapidly rising health care costs.” Bob Kerrey, former Senator from Nebraska and co-chair of the Kerrey-Danforth Bipartisan Commission on Entitlement and Tax Reform “Anyone needing to know how the U.S. government raises and spends $3 trillion each year, will find the answer in Charles Konigberg's indispensable guide to the budget process and its consequences. America's Priorities is a must-have reference for all concerned citizens.” Matthew Winkler, Editor-in-Chief, Bloomberg News With two decades of bipartisan experience in the White House and Senate, Charles S.

Wills Date: 07-28-87 Cassette #244 (60 minutes) Side One Brooks: Well, I felt that I had to bring capable people, blacks, into this institution, and I was trying to say to our people that I had to do that, and then, furthermore, I wanted to do it, that if they were capable and they had ability, they were entitled to a job and that I ought to offer them a job. So I wanted them to realize that, but they would be unusual people because they were people who had come off the bottom, whereas most of the white people had started half-way up the ladder. These were people that had started at the bottom of the ladder and had to climb lots further to get to be qualified for the kind of employee that we were going to have, and I was not going to lower our qualifications for employees, black or white. But the black that could qualify, I was going to put them in Gold Kist and they would have to understand that, and so I did that long before we got them in the church, for example [laughter) . I got them in Gold Kist long before then. Now consequently, my relationship with the black community has always been real good. I have been on the boards of trustees, I have helped them build institutions, and I have. (talked) with most of the politicians.

  • The Presidential Spectacle
    Miroff, B. (2003). The presidential spectacle. In M. Nelson, ed., The presidency and the political system, 7th ed. Washington, D.C.: CQ Press, pp. 278 – 302. One of the most distinctive features of the modern presidency is its constant cultivation of popular support. The Framers of the U. S. Constitution envisioned a president substantially insulated from the demands and passions of the people by the long duration of the term and the dignity of the office. The modern president, in contrast, not only responds to popular demands and passions but also actively reaches out to shape them. The possibilities opened up by modern technology and the problems presented by the increased fragility of parties and institutional coalitions lead presidents to turn to the public for support and If popular backing is to be maintained, however, the public must believe in the president's leadership qualities. Observers of presidential politics have come to recognize the centrality of the president's relationship with the American public. George Edwards has written of "the public presidency" and argued that the "greatest source of influence for the president is public approval." Samuel Kernell has suggested that presidential appeals for popular favor now overshadow more traditional methods of seeking influence, especially bargaining. Presidents today, Kernell argued, are “going public," and he demonstrated their propensity to cultivate popular support by recording the mounting frequency of their public addresses, public appearances, and political travel. These constitute, he claimed, "the repertoire of modern leadership." This new understanding of presidential leadership can be carried further. A president's approach to, and impact on, public perceptions is not limited to overt appeals in speeches and appearances.

    OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT [ 1 ] EXPLANATORY NOTE A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with the President who made the appointment. While it is customary to tender one’s resignation at the time a change of administration takes place, officers remain formally at the head of their department until a successor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not con- sidered Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation’s history not all Cabinet officers were heads of executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the respon- sibilities of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the lists that follow. The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which commis- sions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted. Where periods of time are indicated by dates as, for instance, March 4, 1793, to March 3, 1797, both such dates are included as portions of the time period. On occasions when there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, the President pro tem- pore is listed as the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution (effective Oct. 15, 1933) changed the terms of the President and Vice President to end at noon on the 20th day of January and the terms of Senators and Representatives to end at noon on the 3d day of January when the terms of their successors shall begin.
