CONGRESS-SALAHIS 3 LAST

"The White House staff were walking back and forth
outside between the check points helping guests and were
available to the Secret Service throughout the evening, but
clearly we can do more, and we will do more," Messina said.
Beginning immediately for all official White House
events, the memo said the White House staff will be stationed
physically at the check points with the US Secret Service;
guests will be checked off of the list by White House staff
and the Secret Service will continue to ensure that all guests
have been properly cleared before entering the White House.
According to the memo, guests whose names are not on
the guest list will be assisted by White House staff present
at the check point for appropriate resolution and as always
the Secret Service will provide security and remain ultimately
responsible for controlling access to the White House complex.
Meanwhile, The Washington Post in an editorial said
it is time for the Salahis to be more forthcoming about their
State Dinner escapade.
"Despite not being on the official guest list, the
couple from Front Royal have insisted for a week that they
were indeed invited to the November 24 state dinner for the
prime minister of India. They broke their public silence on
the 'Today' show Tuesday. But they didn't answer a key
question: Who invited you? Yes, we'd like to know, too," The
Washington Post said.
"This is about more than the spectacle of Tareq and
Michaele Salahi adding another series of celebrity photos to
their Facebook ego wall. This is about the potential danger to
the president revealed by their caper," the daily said.PTI
