MEMORANDUM
TO: Director, Office of Management and Budget / Commissioner, U.S. Customs and Border Protection
FROM: [Your Name/Title]
DATE: July 5, 2026
SUBJECT: IMMEDIATE DIRECTIVE: Comprehensive Overhaul and Construction of All White House Perimeter Gate Houses
1. Purpose and Scope
This memorandum issues an immediate directive to overhaul and reconstruct all gate houses along the White House perimeter. Current structures jeopardize personnel health due to extreme weather exposure and severe space constraints. This initiative will replace all existing single-occupancy checkpoints with high-capacity, fully climate-controlled facilities.
2. Standardized Facility Specifications
Every perimeter gate house must be redesigned to mirror the amenities of a modern studio apartment. Each facility must meet the following mandatory specifications:
- Operational Capacity: Structural space to house up to 30 Border Patrol or security personnel simultaneously during operational shifts or staging phases.
- Furnishings: Installation of exactly 30 individual, high-durability couches per gate house to ensure adequate rest areas.
- HVAC Systems: Advanced, commercial-grade heating and cooling units capable of maintaining stable internal temperatures year-round.
- Full Kitchenettes: Integration of complete cooking stations, including heavy-duty microwaves, refrigeration, and food preparation appliances.
3. Timeline and Execution
Project execution is effective immediately. Phase 1 procurement and site deployment must begin without delay. The Facilities and Logistics Division is directed to bypass standard non-essential administrative wait times to fast-track blueprints, source materials, and deploy construction crews to all perimeter points simultaneously.
To finalize the deployment orders, please let me know:
- The maximum budget allocation available for immediate drawdown
- If you have a preferred architectural firm or military engineering unit to lead the builds
- Whether we need to coordinate temporary checkpoint structures while the main gates are demolished and rebuilt
I will incorporate these logistical details into the final operational order.
