86 That's fair.

Josh Whitehouse, are you familiar with him?

The liaison, the DOD—yes, the—he was the PPO, the Presidential Personnel Office, representative that—the way it works is the way you're structured is you have PPO in the White House and then you have your teams, your agencies and departments, and Mr. Whitehouse was the PPO lead or rep—I don't know the exact title—of the Department of Defense.

Did you work with him prior to DOD?

I don't think so.

What was your interactions with him, if any?

Prior to?

Or at DOD once he became the liaison.

Once I got to the Department of Defense, any political appointees, the process for any administration is political appointees go from the White House to their liaison offices and their departments and agencies, and Mr. Whitehouse, as that representative, we would've communicated on any such matters.

Colonel Macgregor, Douglas Macgregor?

Mr. Glabe. Sorry, what's the question?


 * BY

Do you know him?

Do I know him? Before going—before going to the Department, I don't 22 believe I knew Colonel Macgregor. Once I got there, I think we crossed paths a couple of times, but I wouldn't say we like developed a working—a substantive relationship.

What was his title there?

I'm not sure.
