RELEASE: LIBERTARIAN PARTY CHAIR REQUESTS NATIONAL SECURITY BRIEFINGS FOR GOV. JOHNSON IN LETTER TO GSA ADMINISTRATOR

Sept. 15, 2016, Salt Lake City, UT -- In a letter sent to Administrator Denise Turner Roth, head of the General Services Administration (GSA), Libertarian National Chairman Nicholas Sarwark requested that the GSA:  

“...designate Governor Gary Johnson and Governor William Weld, the Libertarian Party’s 2016 nominees for President and Vice-President, respectively, as ‘eligible candidates’ for purposes of the Presidential Transition Act of 1963, as amended, and issue them the required notice of their right to receive the services and facilities provided thereunder,” including national security briefings.

In support of Chairman Sarwark’s request Johnson Weld 2016 campaign manager Ron Nielson said: 

“Even the federal government is in the business of attempting to pre-select voters' choices for President and Vice-President. Three tickets will be on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, but only two are receiving taxpayer-funded national security briefings. That is just wrong, and we urge the GSA to provide the same information to Governor Johnson that is being given to Mr. Trump and Sec. Clinton.”
