Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release June 23, 1993
PRESS BRIEFING BY DEE DEE MYERS
The Briefing Room
1:21 P.M. EDT
MS. MYERS: Class, there's going to be detention if you don't come to order. I have no news.
Q Thank you. (Laughter.)
Q That hasn't stopped up before. (Laughter.)
Q There are 84 Democrats in the House who were -- who want the First Lady to consider a single-payer health care system. What is the White House reaction to that?
~ snip ~
MS. MYERS: Again, we haven't made a final decision on it.
Q What's the deal with the red screen?
MS. MYERS: So that the -- ABC and other networks would not be shooting into the Oval Office.
Q Don't look behind the the curtain.
MS. MYERS: Don't look, don't --
Q Is this red screen thought to be a temporary measure until some other device can be found, or is this something that was actually selected by someone here as the thing you want to have out there?
MS. MYERS: No, no. I don't know where it came from. It was something that existed previously in the White House and was used exclusively for this one -- as the press pool was setting up in the Rose Garden and the President was in his office, just to keep people from shooting into the windows.
Q That's going to happen again. Are you going to use this thing again?
MS. MYERS: I don't think we have any long-term plans for it --
Q Dee Dee, how are the reviews on how it looked?
MS. MYERS: I'll have to ask you guys that. You're the experts on it. I mean, I didn't shoot it. It was very --
Q It looked awful.
Q It looks like it came from a bordello. (Laughter.)
Q How would you know?
Q Oooh.
MS. MYERS: He was just talking on the phone. And I think that the advance people --
Q Was he fully dressed?
MS. MYERS: Pardon me?
Q Was he fully dressed?
MS. MYERS: He was fully dressed. He was fully --
Q Well, then why would he not want to be photographed talking on the telephone?
MS. MYERS: I think it is perfectly understandable that he wants to have some privacy to sit and make a phone call. It was no big deal. And then he was talking briefly with a few aides before he stepped out. And somebody put the screen up just to keep cameras from shooting it.
Q Did he request this?
MS. MYERS: No, I don't believe he did. I think it was done to facilitate his privacy, but not at his request.
Q Is there any decision yet when the President will get Aspin's report on the gays in the military issue?

There should be a mirror behind Bill to show where Monica is.
I remember this...
Somebody posted this on FR and everybody went scurrying over to the White House website and there it was in the press(titute) room transcripts - outrageous and overlooked by the revisionist scrubbers in the krinton regime.
Well, all I can say is that it’s a good thing nobody wants to peep into hillary’s office windows.
LOL!! Good one!
Thanks for the ping. I was just checking Google and found your blog a few minutes ago.
