    Newly released records of visits to the Obama White House by health care executives provide

    some important new details not included in the White House’s July 22 letter sent to CREW on
    the eve of the President’s health care press conference. The records identify the names of the
    individuals the visitors were meeting with, and include information about scheduled
    appointments that apparently never took place. The new records include information from
    WAVES records, which show the scheduled dates of appointments, as well as ACR records,
    which show when the visitor actually entered the White House complex. Details from the new
    records are outlined below.
