Part 3/9:
One of these offices is the Executive Clerk's Office, responsible for managing all signing procedures from start to finish. The process begins with staff secretary emails that indicate the document is ready for autopen signing. When the staff secretary signals "ready for AP," the document is printed on official White House bonding paper, and the autopen is activated to produce the signature.
The signed document then proceeds to the Office of Records Management, which physically signs the document and ensures its proper cataloging. The entire process, including the use of autopen, is documented in writing and email correspondence, ensuring accountability.
