Taking place of the george w. Bush president ial library in dallas, this is one hour in 20 minutes. One of the most striking features of president ial transitions is the bipartisanship that prevails among government officials in congress who read the transition laws. The president and the white house staff who set the direction of planning and departments and agencies that carried out the policies. It was not always the case. When the 1952, president truman wanted to bring to the white house but the republican and democratic president ial nominees to meet with his cabinet and white house staff members, he met with the partisan divide. He wanted them to come in because he found when he came into office he was unprepared. He came in january of 1945, roosevelt died in april and truman knew nothing of the atomic bomb. Seated by that experience, he wanted to bring people so they could understand what was ahead of them. Adlai stevenson accepted but general eisenhower turned down trumans invi
Was talking about. So that made the conundrum period youre talking about much easier for our crowd because, we had the agenda in a 300 page book that people had internalized. People those who had worked for the campaign. We had the game plan set out for us and the reason i say that is a blessing, that we were blessed and having to run the campaign is that it made the george w. Bush administration unusually well prepared to govern and the said development and a lot of and are campaigning now is that policy does nothing to be that important and i think what we need to find is a way back, i dont think a particularly helps of the country thinks it is candidate is not bright. We need to find a way back to a mode of campaigning and politics where the candidates with the agendas and the agendas that suggested people, and what the people do in the first hundred days is what the country wants done. I think that is good be critical for our politics Going Forward. You could say that the most impo
And actions undertaken during the transition period. Led the president bush most determined transition out of office that we have experienced. He began the transition cycle in 2007 in discussions with his chief of staff, josh bolten, who lead that effort. Closed the circle that truman proposed to structure by having representatives of the incoming and outgoing chief executives meet well before the election. He brought together representatives of the two candidates in the white house in july, almost too much fire to the 2008 party conventions. , lead theon transition as executive director for president bush into office in 2001, clay johnson was the deputy for management at the office of management and budget and was the department and agency planning, gathering information for a new team. He is going to be on our second panel. Equally important in the 2008 transition was interest in making use of these administration preparations by those leading the transition effort for senator and th
Good morning and welcome. My name is Maria Cordero and i am the Contract Monitoring Division. Im serving in the capacity of the director. I would like to welcome you to the 2014 International Womens Day Celebration that is being given by our Business Development group, Contract Monitoring Division Business Development group.

Attended separate Public Events for the occasion. Biden at philadelphias korean war memorial. Both men paying tribute to our american heros as a commander in chief should. If you watched a little locker a longer and turned ut sound on, you would know this is no normal transition period. Donald trump has not conceded. He is pushing fast claims of voter fraud while he is filing lawsuits that are not even alleging fraud. Take this lawsuit over 592 mail in value lots. Are you claiming there is any fraud in connection with these 592 disputed ballots, Trump Campaign lawyer, to not knowledge, at present, no. Those around the president are humoring him, giving him the time he needs to accept the results. Another official told me today that everyone by tweet. As an update right now joe biden is leading by 62 electoral votes. He flipped three key states and two more appear likely. The math shows that he will be the next president of the United States. Despite that and despite the known fruitless
