Consider replacing the White House Correspondents Association

What the document says

“The new Administration should examine the nature of the relationship between itself and the White House Correspondents Association and consider whether an alternative coordinating body might be more suitable.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 30

The White House Correspondents Association is the body that organizes the press corps covering the White House, including seating and pool arrangements. The chapter says the new Administration should examine its relationship with the Association and consider whether a different coordinating body would be more suitable. It names no alternative.

What the document actually says

“The new Administration should examine the nature of the relationship between itself and the White House Correspondents Association and consider whether an alternative coordinating body might be more suitable.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 30
That sentence, in plain words

The new president should look at how he deals with the group that speaks for White House reporters. He should ask whether a different group would work better.

What this is about

One group organizes the reporters who cover the White House. It decides things like who sits where. The chapter says the new president should look at that group. It says he should ask whether another group should do the job instead.

Read against the documents indexed here on August 26, 2026, and nothing was found that answers this. Nothing indexed comes close. No candidate concerns the White House press corps or the body that coordinates it. The nearest by date, Executive Order 14317 on Schedule G in the excepted service, is about federal appointments and does not mention the press. That is a record of a search, not a finding that nothing has happened: an act this site does not hold, or one that answers the proposal in words unlike its own, would not be caught by it.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
