To assure a timely, germane and pertinent response is issued by The White House to every petition meeting the threshold requirements for response, we require that response within a time-frame not to exceed that permitted for gathering of signatures to meet that threshold; that neither the threshold nor the time-frame be made more demanding than the standard on the date this is first submitted; and that any and all petitions that have met the threshold for response before this one does, be issued germane and pertinent response not later than 30 days after that date.
