A White House memo, dated June 16, 1994, concerning preparations for President Clinton's trip to Normandy for the 50th anniversary of D-Day:
MEMORANDUM FOR ALL STAFF WHO STAYED ON THE USS GEORGE WASHINGTON
FROM:
ISABELLE R. TAPIA
MICHAEL R. LUFRANO
OFFICE OF SCHEDULING AND ADVANCE
RE: Reimbursement for Items Removed from the Ship

The executive officer of the USS George Washington has relayed that a number of items were removed from Staterooms on the ship during the White House visit. The following items are unaccounted for:

13 Blue Towels with GW Insignia$11 each
4 GW Bathrobes with Insignia$35 each
12 Plain White Bathrobes$15 each
55 White Towels$1.80 each

As you know, the ship and the U.S. Navy served as our gracious hosts during this trip. They provided these items for our use, not as souvenirs. They have requested reimbursement of $562 from the White House for the above items.

If you are responsible for removing one or more of these items from the ship, please remit payment to Michael Lufrano in Room 185 of the OEOB. Make any checks payable to the USS George Washington. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call either of us at 456-7560 or Capt. Rogers at 456-2150.
