The next White House chief of staff, in his debut on the Sunday television talk shows, said that in his new job he'll look closer at who gets to meet the president but won't start kicking people out of the Lincoln Bedroom.
Erskine B. Bowles, who succeeds Leon Panetta today, also said on NBC's ``Meet the Press'' that it was wrong to write a book while working for the president ``and it is something we will address.'' He was talking about a new insider book by President Clinton's former strategist, Dick Morris.
Bowles, who formerly served Clinton as deputy chief of staff, said: ``We are going to put some new procedures at the White House to make sure that some inappropriate people who had access to the president won't in the future.''
