#PDB is primary vehicle for summarizing day-to-day sensitive intel & analysis for @WhiteHouse on current & future national security issues.
Style, format & presentation of #PDB are based on preferences of @POTUS. Mr. Obama asked for it electronically.
Mr. Nixon, once practicing attorney, liked to review #PDB on long legal size paper. This format was carried into the Ford administration.
By late 1969, the #PDB was 10 pages or more & included table of contents to manage the increasing breadth of intel issues.
President Ford requested more detailed reporting & analysis, and the #PDB was often close to 20 pages with lengthy Annexes.
Live streaming of “The President’s Daily Brief: Delivering Intel to Nixon & Ford” is scheduled to begin tomorrow @ 4:00 PM EST.
