Scheduler's Assistant

Scheduler's Assistant handles 'the book,' the President's minute-by-minute schedule diary, from the White House outer office. This position supports the Scheduler, who oversees calendar management with research and social secretaries under the broader secretarial structure. Charlie describes the role to Debbie Fiderer, noting how it imposes rigid order on daily chaos, including private time euphemistically called 'barbecuing.' The assistant enables seamless bureaucratic flow amid the presidency's demands.
