That the White House had no institutional memory—the problem
prompting the White House Interview Program (WHIP)—represents just
one area in which the White House 2001 Project affected the
presidential transition. In appointments, the Pew Charitable Trusts
identified a second transition problem. In 1996, the Twentieth
Century Fund produced a blue-ribbon study outlining several issues
undermining the appeal of government appointment. The study,
entitled Obstacle Course: The Report of the Twentieth
Century Task Force on Presidential Appointment Process,
convinced Pew to focus on the recruitment of presidential nominees.
As part of that initiative, they contemplated a computer program
that would reduce the burden placed on nominees by filing numerous,
intrusive, and repetitive questionnaires.
