"Nice. Well we actually heard that the White House told GSA to make their own decision. We heard that GSA is allowing them
to camp as long as there is no threat to life. I believe MRSA fits the description but it's obviously above our pay grade.
( talked with our Field office manager and he feels the same way as we do but we have to obide by the Just White House decision that was past down to allow them on the property if they are peaceful. I know that's not
what we want. Let me know if I can do anything to help"
