Which will take place after the luncheon. Thank you. As i said i am Michelle Roberts from joint task force and apical are task force had the responsibility for planning and courtney being the military ceremony is support for the now girl activities. Once the luncheon is complete, the president come to the first lady the Vice President of the second leg will be escorted out to these front of the capital where they will be greeted by mage or general michael lamington the commander of the task force and he will escort them down the steps to take what is called the path in review in the and the path in review essentially is the president ial escort unit which is comprised of approximately 387 servicemembers followed by each of the Service Armed guards and the u. S. Army band as well as the marine corps band. And they will go past the president s location on the east front of the capital and once they complete the path in review, then the president ial escort follows the more decayed and then they start the parade route. Around the parade route we have approximately 2300 military personnel participating in the parade. There are approximately 10,000 total personnel in the parade and the way the parade is organized there are five divisions in this parade. Each division is led i a Service Component comcast so division i will be led by the army. Division two by the marines, division iii by the navy, division for by the air force, and Division Five by a mixture of the coast guard and the merchant marines. Essentially it is comprised of military bands Service Elements that represent the active reserve, the National Guard component and then followed by various civilian groups that have applied to be included in the parade. Along the entire parade route is the military court on. Backcourt on his comprised of approximately 1600 servicemembers from all services. For the activities of the capital we have approximately 800 hundred hundred military servicemembers there performing various functions from the president ial escort to bands to the trumpets and the president ial salute battery as well as ushers in military assistance. Its michelle was to ls middle initial l and then roberts. Colonel roberts really you know did not give the jacey up enough credit for what they did. Its not just the parade piece. As matt indicated there are people that work on this in our group for months and a year beforehand preparing for whomever is elected in november and as someone who participated in in the macrofor president obama four years ago and with absolutely no idea what we are doing i can tell you that the folks regardless of who the chair is in the folks at gtf are there ready for you when you walk in the door and really gives a lot of logistical lift on this. Is their job to make sure the president s in print is put on some of these events. One of the ways we do that is in the parade along with all of these military elements there are 58 different groups, 58 different vehicles from all 50 states. They are everything from the Virginia Military institute across the river of virginia in southern virginia which is marched in another of not grow growth rates all the way through one of my favorites, a group from maine a group of unicyclers that will be joining us and called the gym dandies. And gym in this case. The president will stand and watch the entire thing and enjoy the parade along with thousands of folks who come down and are watching from along the parade route. One seconds the president goes inside and the official part of his day is done. And he gets ready for the nod robe all. As you have seen reported seen reported there are two would not grow this time. The first is the commanderinchiefs ball and again the commanderinchiefs ball is a tradition started by george bush that we have continued with a chance for us to honor our partners in the military and i know gtf will be included in the Selection Process for the individuals that will be attending but is mostly enlisted personnel from all the branches. And the second larger and not real ball and ill be happy to answer questions about about that in a group all as we get into the q a portion. With that before we go into some of the saturday events, i just wanted to invite her partners from the Capital Police to talk about about about security not just for monday but for the entire weekend of activities. Good morning everyone. I will definitely spell my name for you. The first name is spelled shennell and the last time is spelled antrobus. Im the Public Information officer for the united dates Capital Police. Im sorry, maam . I will repeat it. My title is Public Information officer. I am an officer. The United StatesCapital Police are responsibility in conjunction with Law Enforcement partners is to ensure the safety of those attending the natural ceremonies throughout the weekend. First and foremost we want everyone to enjoy the democratic process and this is tort day. With any event that occurs on the capital complex safety is our number one priority. That said, safety and security for potus, guests etc. Is not carried out just by us but by partnership with our Law Enforcement community that would include but not limited to the metropolitan police, the park police and other entities as well as Public Safety entities. The partnership that we have established to create a pretty robust multifaceted security plan has been in the works for many months and while i cannot go into details, about those security plans please know that we have trained extensively to address any issues that may come up during the day. Thank you. Thank you, officer i appreciate that and as someone who is in security and communications before heading back to the Campaign Last year i can tell you during the q a the officer had the easiest job because he will get to say im not allowed to say that more than anybody else. The main day is monday the day that most folks will be paying the most attention to my comes to the not grow. A couple of other fence saturdays a big day. Day. Tudor chechens that were started in 2009 by the first family the national day of service and the not grow childrens concert. The National Day Service will be taking place across the country in all 50 states and a large event on the mall. We are very excited. Chelsea clinton has joined us this year as the an array cochair for the day of service and she will be appearing at the mall event in the incredibly large tent i am sure you have all seen if you have driven down 14 straight. She will be joined by a number of celebrities and informers including eva longoria beau biden and who im excited about for my time in college as well as 100 organizations from all across the Capital Region that do serve and folks will be able to talk to these people. Basically took their type atmosphere, to learn to serve in their communities moving forward. As i mentioned we will also have events in all 50 states. It looks like right now we are in track for over 2000 events across the country and this is the first and not Grow Committee that is paid for stuff in all 50 states because this is a priority of the first family to see service day both to honor the memory of Martin Luther king jr. But also in a tradition we hope will live on past this and not grow and be part of the inauguration regardless of who is in our position in four years. Wednesday wrapup on the mall there is one event on saturday evening. Thats the childrens concert a tradition started in 2009 by dr. Biden and first Lady Michelle obama. It is an extension of their work that they have done through the forces initiativinitiativ e to help honor and support military families. This will take place at the Convention Center. We will be announcing details on talent in the next couple of days and put out an initial list of talent that will be appearing at either the on monday night and the kids concert or one of the other. As you can imagine this this isa legit stick a list to get that all pieced together is a puzzle and we hope by friday to be able to announce which acts will be appearing in which places. Over half of the audience will be made up of military kids and this is a great place to honor the sacrifice not just of the men and Women Deserve every day but the families who support them. On tuesday, jumping ahead of what we just discussed, there will be the Traditional Service taking place at the national cathedral. The first and second family will attend and again this is a tradition that is part of most and not girls and we will be announcing the runup show for that in the next couple of days. We are still working with the cathedral on who will be there. The president will attend and it will be a nice way to cap off four days of the public celebraticelebrati on. I think thats everything we have got in terms of the runup show. Im sure you all have a number of questions. Just nick and sure didnt miss anything in the number of events that we cover. I think thats about it. I am more than happy to open it up to questions at this point and again, i would be remiss if i didnt say thank you to all of our partners as well as our Law Enforcement partners headed by the Capital Police and the secret service who have done a fantastic job working with us. One item of housekeeping before we get into q a. If i recognize you to ask a question if you can identify yourself by name and your News Organization and the time we have for questions. We will try to get to as many as we can. See my question is for you matt. You hope to have significant improvements in security as well as for monday. Obviously is important that the public get in but i think here we are more concerned with tbi. Last year networks could not air due to can you expect improvements on that . Acrosstheboard that will be improvement in the flow of every type of media guidelines that we will make very clear the movement and i think we have been planning for many months now to accommodate all these individuals for the event and im confident that those people will get them. Everyone should be on the same page as far as where folks can and can go and i think we are also make king accommodations which will have more details later for folks interested in broadcasting from the capital on sunday around the events happening that day. I think we have a good plan in place and i think folks should be able to get where they need to go. I might add to that not much in the media side but the public side, we do have the advantage of having done this four years ago from the president ial and not Grow Committee side. A lot of the steps we took were trying to learn from some of the challenges from us time and in fact one of the reasons we consolidated the two into the Convention Center when four years ago they were spread over 45 locations was in order to decrease our footprint and try to make this a logistically more manageable process for the city laws Law Enforcement partners and folks attending, so our hope is the flow both in and out of the official ceremony as well as the other events will be smooth and i know jacek put out a great on line tool for the public. They announced it earlier this week. Its a local web app that has to do more with whats going on here in d. C. Its part of our effort to make sure that people across the country can be involved in this event. It will have Live Streaming of the actual event a lot of information on the day of services. It will also have logistical information for people that are attending the event so we are using twitter and other kinds of realtime social media tools hoping to make this a smoother process as possible but also put a plugin for jcf who has it fantastic residents about their efforts on line as well. I think we have seen a big leap forward in how we are using the media to enrich this event but also to make it a smoother event. I was wondering if any of you could address how much and what the cost is for all of the preparations and also in addition to do you know, hispanic people involved with pic, and the other hispanic celebrities or National Leaders that will be joining the celebration over the four days . Sure. On the cost issue as you can imagine there are a number of individual groups and organizations that go into the so ascertaining an overall cost before the event happens is tough. A lot of these are moving budgets so its something well be payable to speak to more after the event occurs after a talley up some of these bills. In terms of the hispanic committees involvement of president is committed to making sure all the leaders of other committed to making sure that this is an event that reflects america. I think you you you will see in the paraded number of groups not just from the Hispanic Community but other communities across this country and we can get that whole list of participants to you that show not just their geographic diversity but also the diversity of cultures and communities that make up this country. As as we mentioned, the not grow public this year for the first time will be a hispanic, cubanamerican and the benediction is being given also by a cubanamerican this year. And then again i think you will see a number of leaders attending. E. The longoria is one of the cochairs of the president ial and not Grow Committee and is a big supporter of the president during the campaign. I think when you look on the special ds on monday as well as out into the crowd it really does reflect the country. And to that point, as far as what tino participation in the initial festivities we did not get into their marks before and but senator schumer invited the reverend luis cortes. He has done a tremendous amount of work to grow the organization to fight crime and poverty and make sure that individuals across the country have access to Affordable Housing and quality education and senator schumer invited him to open the luncheon with lunch prayer in recognition of his long history of service. Just really quick, to speak to the Hispanic American Community but in shuffling my notes i did miss the fact we wanted to make sure that everyone knew that merely Evans Williams who is the widow of medgar evers will also be doing the invocation and kicking it off and again this ties into the fact that this is an event that looks back at our history as a country to where the president wants to take us as a country. We think that will be a very nice way to open the event and towards the Civil Rights Movement and part of not only the president s life but also the countrys life. I just wanted to know how many people are coming and. [inaudible] from our standpoint i believe we are still finalizing the list of individuals who will attend and we will have more information on that in the coming days. Traditionally the diplomatic corps has been seated upon the platform and there are 1600 guests that are seated on a platform including obviously the president , the Vice President and his family and guests comp that governors house and senate, Supreme Court joint chief and the diplomatic corps will be there. He is a group north of 150 generally but we will have more details later. Jim austin with script television. Thereve been questions raised about the transparency with regard to information that hasnt been released. Can you address that . The Committee Regulations has to file 90 days after the not girl takes place. That would include all information on donors and again this is unique to the committee and the car but in the fcc regulations for us. On top of that we are providing donors on a weekly basis the names of those that have given to the committee. We believe this is a step above and beyond the transparency regulations laid down by the fcc and we encourage folks to go to our web site at this point. I said at the beginning i didnt want follow questions. We want to give everybody a chance. Following up on the donors, what was your and where you have today . I can tell you we are in track to meet it. We have every comfort and the resources we need to put on all the events we discussed and feel very comfortable with our fundraising at this event. Im not going to get into specific numbers. You havent told us anything about the presence and sunday, about the official swearingin and what else you would do that day. What will you do for the day of service and [inaudible] i can answer i dont know a number of those so at this point its not part of the talent lineup. I am not sure where the boss will or wont be. In terms of the president s day on sunday again this schedule is driven by her partners at the white house of there will be questions only they can answer. Wanat duration falls on a sunday traditionally, this is the seventh time this has happened traditionally the public ceremoniaceremonia l piece of this is held the following monday which is what we walk through earlier with matt and myself. That being said he has to be sworn in by january 20 on noon at noon. Therell be a small private ceremony at the white house with the family and it will be full press so it will be as available for the American People to see. It will be in the blue room from what i understand. Chief Justice Roberts will be there to administer the oath as
