Every day, the President of the United States is faced with scores of

by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The EOP has responsibility for tasks
ranging from communicating the President’s message to the American
people to promoting our trade interests abroad.
Overseen by the White House Chief of Staff, the EOP has traditionally been
