President Barack Obama said he will release the names of most visitors to the White House.
Nearly every person who comes for a tour, visit or appointment will be subject to the policy, which goes into effect September 15. Presumably, that includes tribal leaders who visit after that date.
Only visitors of a sensitive nature will be excluded. The names of the rest will be published on the Internet.
