PRESIDENTIAL VISIT BERLIN - PRESS ARRANGEMENTS

1. **Transportation**

The press will be transported in the following vehicles:

a. two photo trucks with 18 positions each to precede the motorcade (each truck divided equally between White House Press Party and Berlin press). There are four suitable positions for tripod-mounted cameras on each truck - four White House, four German.

b. two wire service sedans and one radio pool sedan (for live German radio pool).

c. the press pool bus seating 26

d. nine press buses each seating 40 passengers. These buses will be marked 1 through 7 and buses 1, 3, 5, 7 will be reserved for the White House Press Party. Buses 2, 4, 6 will be reserved for Berlin Press.

e. the photo trucks, the press pool bus and the 7 press buses will each be accompanied by a Mission Press Officer. They will be part of the motorcade throughout the tour and will not deviate from it in route and timing.

f. the two photo trucks, the two wire service sedans, the radio pool sedan and the press pool bus will be part of the "Presidential" module and will travel with the official party everywhere except as noted below. The other press buses will travel behind the "Presidential" module.

g. In addition, there will be two buses (and more if warranted) available at Tempelhof after the arrival ceremony which will transport correspondents to the Press Center (America House) where they will have the opportunity to write and file stories (telephone and telex) and watch the entire motorcade live on TV and partake of a cold buffet for about one hour. These two buses will leave the Press Center to transport correspondents to Siemens to arrive there before the Presidential motorcade does.

h. since the motorcade will be a long one, correspondents in the press buses will have little opportunity to observe what is going on in front. We therefore urge correspondents to take advantage of the opportunity to use the option (g. above) to go to the Press Center for about 1 hour and then to go on to Siemens where the President will speak.
