Taught at The White House
The Baldridge family was invited to The White House, where the program was taught to the President's Staff to refine the collection and filtering of White House Mail and Global Intelligence — including revision of the President's Daily Brief (PDB), the top-secret document delivered each morning to the President of the United States.
