excerpt

.........."For the first time in history, records of White House visitors will be made available to the public on an ongoing basis," Obama said in a written statement.

He added, "Americans have a right to know whose voices are being heard in the policymaking process."

Under the new policy, each month records of White House visitors from the previous 90 to 120 days will be made available online. Tens of thousands of people visit the White House each month.

The new policy will not include "a small group of appointments that cannot be disclosed because of national security imperatives or their necessarily confidential nature (such as a visit by a possible Supreme Court nominee)," the White House said.
