Summary

Description
English: To provide internal coordination, the Staff Secretary's Office manages the paper flow to and from the President. As part of this function, the Staff Secretary circulates enrolled legislation, proposed executive orders, decision memoranda, speeches and other presidential documents to relevant White House offices for clearance and comment, ensuring that the President has an opportunity to hear the views of relevant senior White House advisors, and that proposed actions and statements are consistent with Administration policy. The Staff Secretary further ensures that any document being forwarded to the President is in suitable condition, technically and substantively, for presidential review and action. The office is also charged with ensuring that the President's decisions and requests are transmitted to the proper staff members for appropriate action.

Each evening, the Staff Secretary assembles the President's briefing book for the following day's presidential appointments or events.
