Dear John,
 
You asked that I prepare a series of items needed from the current  
administration immediately before and after November 4.  The following  outlines what 
we believe to be the most important needs.
 
Requests to be made as soon as possible:
 
1)    Request the use of military aircraft to transport  the President-elect 
during the entire time of the transition period on  a non-reimburseable basis. 

2)    Request assistance with finding  temporary SCIF in Chicago.  GSA is 
having a hard time finding a  temporary SCIF in Chicago because they can't say 
who it would be used by  (having to fly under the radar in chi).  We would like 
assistance in  identifying a contact either with FBI or CIA in Chicago for GSA 
or us to talk  about using a location on a temporary basis until our office 
is up and running. 
 
3)    Request WHCA support services be made available  on an as needed basis 
immediately following election.
 
Requests for immediately after November 4:
 
1)    Request (selective) use of White House  Transportation Agency resources 
for the incoming Chief of Staff and National  Security Advisor;
2)    Photographic services from the White House Photo  Office for purposes 
of an official photo of the President-elect and Vice  President-elect;
3)    Medical care and support for the President-elect  and Vice 
President-elect from military personnel stationed at the White House  medical unit (we 
believe this is already done, so just need confirmation);
4)    Valet services for the President-elect from White  House Mess personnel;
5)    Request use of Blair House by the President-elect  and members of his 
immediate family beginning January 2, 2009 through noon on  Inauguration Day.
6)    Request to have office space made available in  EEOB for one 
Management/Ops head and 1-2 assistants to help ensure smooth  process will be in place 
for January 20 intake of personnel. 
 
John, by way of background, the then-incoming Bush Administration  officially 
requested the use of military aircraft and use of Blair House  starting 
January 5, 2001. Aircraft use was granted just before  inauguration day, but I 
cannot find where we actually granted use of Blair at  all.  Blair House, if I 
remember correctly, is actually controlled by State  and I think they had issue 
with providing it, but I may be wrong.  
 
I added #6 because I was reminded that Bush Administration sought, and we  
provided, office space for Hector to use along with one-two assistants right  
after the New Year.  They were the only people we allowed to have office  space 
prior to noon on Jan. 20.  
 
Let me know if you need anything else.
Brad
