The bill mandates that the White House must make public the names of individuals who visit the White House complex, including the Executive Office Building and the President's official residence.

The purpose of this bill is to provide the American public with insight into who is meeting with White House officials and potentially influencing decision-making processes. By making visitor logs accessible to the public, the bill seeks to promote transparency and ensure that the government is accountable to the people it serves.
