MONDAY, DECEMBER 4, 2000 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, SUBCOMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT, INFORMATION, AND TECHNOLOGY, COMMITTEE ON GOVERNMENT REFORM, Washington, DC. The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, at 10 a.m., in room 2154, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Stephen Horn (chair- man of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Representatives Horn, Biggert, Davis, Ose, Turner, Kan- jorski, and Waxman (ex officio). Staff present: J. Russell George, staff director and chief counsel; Randy Kaplan, counsel; Bonnie Heald, director of communications; Earl Pierce, professional staff member; Elizabeth Seong and James DeChene, clerks; Rachael Reddick, intern; Phil Barnett, minority chief counsel; Kristin Amerling, minority deputy chief counsel; Trey Henderson, minority counsel; and Jean Gosa, minority clerk. Mr. HORN. A quorum being present, the hearing of the Sub- committee on Government Management, Information, and Tech- nology will come to order. These are extraordinary times in American history. That there is a need for this hearing is equally extraordinary, and disturbing. On October 12 of this year, the President signed into law the Presi- dential Transition Act of 2000, which I happened to have intro- duced in the House. Regardless of which candidate would be the next President, the 106th Congress wanted to give him greater as- sistance in assuming the highest office in the land. No one, how- ever, anticipated the closeness of this race for the Presidency or the unsettling events that have followed. The Presidential Transition Act as amended authorizes funding for the General Services Administration to provide suitable office space, staff compensation and other costs associated with the tran- sition process. The act also calls for the Administrator of the Gen- eral Services Administration to ascertain the, quote, apparent suc- cessful candidates for the office of President and Vice President. The Administrator, of course, does not determine the winners. That responsibility, as set in the Constitution, clearly belongs to the electoral college and, failing that, Congress. Obviously, the Presidential transition period must begin well be- fore Congress meets to tally the electoral college votes in January. The brief transition period from the day after election to the day of Inauguration is the time in which an incoming President makes (1) VerDate 11-MAY-2000 10:11 Dec 04, 2001 Jkt 000000 PO 00000

    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.

Frantz PLACE: Mr. Levinson's office, New York City Tape 1 of 1 L: I'm sitting here on November 2, 1973, and we're all musing about the Watergate and the fate of the presidency and the questions of conflict of interest. We already read in the paper yesterday that President Nixon, in the midst of a major antitrust case, picked up the telephone and called the Deputy Attorney General and told him not to file an appeal. Later that order was countermanded, but it did illustrate presidential involvement in a matter before the courts, which brings me to mind about the philosophy of President Johnson when it came to pending matters before the courts, or before the regulatory agencies. Maybe by way of illustration, although I've said this somewhere before during this odyssey of conversations, Dr. Frantz, that we've been having the last couple of years, Jack Valenti did something that created a tremendous stir at the White House.

Schiliro is currently the Director of Congressional Relations for the transition team of President-Elect Barack Obama. Schiliro was a senior advisor to Senator Obama's presidential campaign. He has worked in the United States Congress for more than 25 years. Schiliro served as the Chief of Staff to Representative Henry Waxman and the House Oversight Committee in the House, and the Policy Director for Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle and Staff Director of the Senate Democratic Leadership Committees in the Senate.

I can’t say that. I didn’t,” Schiliro told the 550 undergraduate, graduate and law students who participated in Hofstra’s mid-year commencement ceremony at the David S.

He drove home his point by recognizing several Hofstra professors who influenced and inspired him, including Dean Bernard Firestone, Professor Michael D’Innocenzo and Professor Emeritus Herb Rosenbaum.

  • White House Transition Interview
    White House Interview Program DATE: December 29, 1999 INTERVIEWEE: GERALD RAFSHOON INTERVIEWER: Martha Kumar [Disc 1 of 1] MK: When you’d like to go off-the-record or on-background, that’s fine as well. Ultimately the material goes into a presidential library; it will go into the [Jimmy] Carter Library. We’re working with the National Archives on it. The full interviews don’t come out publicly until 2001, when a new President comes in, and also you’ve had a chance to go over the transcript. GR: Okay. MK: It’s going to be used in various ways. It’s a group of presidency scholars and we’re doing profiles of seven offices. We’ve selected seven offices. And we’ll go back over time to the [Richard] Nixon administration, and profile what the functions have been, the responsibilities, different ways in which they’ve been organized. I’m writing the one by myself on communications. I’m doing press and communications by myself. The pieces themselves are going to be short, although they’ll be on a pass-coded website for people coming in so they can then⎯in addition to reading the fifteen pages about some of the general things about the office⎯they’ll be able to select items within it as well. We’ll have links in to longer pieces. And then we’re doing what we call “Standards of a Successful Start” in the spring, which are isolating maybe eight elements that are common to successful transitions. GR: Interesting. Did you read Bob Woodward's latest book, Shadow: Five Presidents and the Legacy of Watergate? MK: Yes.
