Work continuously to trim the White House staff from your first day to your last. All the pressures are to the contrary.

Enjoy your time in public service. It may well be one of the most interesting and challenging times of your life.

In the execution of Presidential decisions work to be true to his views, in fact and tone.

See that the President, the Cabinet and staff are informed. If cut out of the information flow, their decisions may be poor, not made, or not confidently or persuasively implemented.

Be precise. A lack of precision is dangerous when the margin of error is small.

The way to do well is to do well.

Congress, the press, and the bureaucracy too often focus on how much money or effort is spent, rather than whether the money or effort actually achieves the announced goal.

Make decisions about the President's personal security. He can overrule you, but don't ask him to be the one to counsel caution.

It isn't making mistakes that's critical; it's correcting them and getting on with the principal task.
