0955 Sampson Frank

Our meeting with the Secret Service got off to a rough start. Herald Solheim came into the meeting. He brought with him Special Secret Services Agents Adam Schmidt and Geraldine Cooper of The Presidential visit advance team.

Agent Lawrence Clark

Samson Agents Adam Schmidt is about to make your First day more difficult.

Agents Adam Schmidt

To start with I need to remind you that the event schedule and all-time references by it are by Secret Service policy classified. All people with a need to know and the level of that knowledge I will decide.

Now the issue of contention. The Protocol Office did not come with us. They sent the schedule you will follow. This includes who speaks, when and for how long. Who, they have decided, will not speak. Who will not be allowed to attend? The menu you will serve. And the level of accommodation you will provide and to whom you provide them.

Sampson Frank

I will take it to my boss, but I will tell you now his answer. Kiss my ass. The President invited himself and his family to The Wappinger Peoples Nation. We do not need his visit. We will not be dictated to in how we conduct our Nation s affairs, who we invite or refuse entrance to our property, and who we allow to speak for us. This meeting is over. Goodbye.

Agents Adam Schmidt

You were right Herald; these people will not be pushed around by the pompous drones at the Protocol Office.

Mr. Frank, those are not the demands of the Secret Service or any member on my advance team. I understand that The President requested this visit. I will ask that you present your plans for the meeting to me, and I will bring them to President s Chief of Staff Lawrence Vernon to work everything out to The Wappinger Peoples Nation satisfaction.

Sampson Frank

Shell, we start again.

All these people will be available at 1000 tomorrow morning to address their specific areas of concern to you. I ask that the Protocol Office have a representative here. If they do not want to work with us, just dictate to us, we will call the whole event off. If you wish to appeal to Currahee Nations directly I will take you to his office right now.

If they wish to have input, they had better show up tomorrow. Our position stands, the President invited himself, we do not need a visit. Our business is happy as it is. The Federal Government pulling funding dose not influence us one bit. We do not care. They need to let us know by 1000 tomorrow or tell them I will block the runway before we let them land. And We are serious about our yard, our Ball, our Rules or stay at home.

Agent Schmidt, what can I do for you?

Agent Schmidt

Sir, I just left a meeting with Sampson Frank Currahee Nations new Chief-of-Staff and the Wappinger Nation Liaison and about the Presidential visit at the end of the month. The Protocol Office did not send anyone on the advance team. The Protocol Office just sent a program that The Wappinger Nation were to except and follow or no visit. It was heard by me and several of my Agents from Sampson and I quote You can Kiss our ass. The President invited himself and his family to The Wappinger Peoples Nation. We do not need his visit. We will not be dictated into how we conduct our Nations affairs, who we invite or refuse entrance to our property, and who we allow to speak for us. Then started to throw us out. I was able to apologize and continue the meeting.
