Today the Obama administration released a monster document with more than 25,000 names of people who visited the White House – the first time any executive branch has given a full accounting of who is there and when.
It’s the very first batch since the White House fully implemented its new transparency push, and covers from Sept. 16 through Sept. 30. There also was a limited release of people who came to the White House earlier in the year as requested by news organizations and open government groups.
(More details on that here.)
Some names pop out right away, while others are more obscure or were reported earlier this year when we wrote up the limited releases.
TPM could use your help scanning the visitors logs.
You can view the spreadsheet here at WhiteHouse.gov on the bottom of the page, but it is in a fairly unwieldy format. It’s probably easiest to download as a CSV file and then import into a spreadsheet program for easy sorting.
If names jump out at you, please let us know. Pop the person’s full name, date they visited and who they met with into the comments section below. You can also email us here, but please put Visitors Logs in the subject line.
Bloomberg has a good write up here and the Examiner details the lobbyists who were there.
