Obama to release White House visitor logs - but not effective until after Sept. 15

From NPR News, Obama decides to release White House visitor logs.

A month or two back I wrote about all the celebrities who have been dropping by the White House, and the Obama administration's efforts to keep the visits hush-hush. The administration has at last agreed to reveal to the public who will be stopping by 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Note "will be" because the White House will only release its visitor records beginning Sept. 15. Information about visits that occurred between Jan. 20 and Sept. 15 will be available only by special request, and its release will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

I find it disappointing that the White House is still keeping visitors from his first eight months under wraps, but I do admire the effort of the administration to be more transparent. The Obama administration will indeed be the first to reveal this information at all.
