Preserve The President's Options. He

Know That The Immediate Staff And Others In The Administration Will Assume That Your Manner, Tone And Tempo Reflect The President's.

Politics Is Human Beings; It's Addition Rather Than Subtraction.

See That The President, The Cabinet And Staff Are Informed. If Cut Out Of The Information Flow, Their Decisions May Be Poor, Not Made, Or Not Confidently Or Persuasively Implemented.

There's Another Way To Phrase That And That Is That The Absence Of Evidence Is Not The Evidence Of Absence. It Is Basically Saying The Same Thing In A Different Way. Simply Because You Do Not Have Evidence That Something Does Exist Does Not Mean That You Have Evidence That It Doesn't Exist.

I Don't Do Quagmires.
