Reexamine White House press facilities and the Correspondents Association
Mandate asserts there is no legal entitlement to permanent media space on the White House campus and says the Administration should reexamine media/space balance and whether an alternative to the White House Correspondents Association is more suitable.
Mandate
Mandate Ch. 1 (White House Office) — Office of Communications: no legal entitlement exists for permanent space for media on the White House campus; reexamine the balance between media demands and space constraints; examine the relationship with the White House Correspondents Association and consider whether an alternative coordinating body might be more suitable.
Undo plan
1) Restore continuous on-campus workspace and pool access for the accredited White House press corps under transparent, viewpoint-neutral criteria.
2) Reaffirm the White House Correspondents Association (or equivalent independent press body) as the coordinating counterpart—not a White House–selected substitute.
3) Publish access rules that forbid retaliation against outlets for coverage; restore routine briefings with advance notice.
4) Codify baseline press access in White House procedures and seek appropriations language protecting pool logistics if needed.
5) Verify: monthly public metrics on briefing frequency, pool participation, and denied-credential appeals.
