Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Dee Dee Myers is Positive . White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers  is among what  she  said are about 10 percent of the 1 044 White House staff members who have not completed the FBI clearance process that produces the first level of clearance for access to classified material.  Myers  said  she  has routine access to secret material.
Last week House Republicans raised the issue of White House officials failing to complete the clearance process.  Myers  acknowledged that  she  had not  due to the press of other business  and said that only one other senior official fit that category. That is Ricki Seidman  who has served as deputy communications director  as a counselor to the chief of staff and now as head of the scheduling operation.  She  did not return phone calls.
 Myers  said  in clarifying the numbers of those lacking clearances  that of the 125 most senior jobs at the White House  all but 15 have completed the FBI background checks and have security clearances. All National Security Council staff members fit that category   she  said.
But of the White House staff overall  which includes workers from secretaries in the social secretary's office to computer operators  a little more than 100 lack the clearances. "Most of them don't have a need to deal with secure documents "  Myers  said. But  she  could not estimate how many have access to such documents or could see them if they tried.
 Myers  said the slowness of the White House to hire its staff  the slowness of staff members to submit paperwork that launches the FBI background check and plain "procrastination" are the reasons for most of the clearance problems. "Things got off to a slow start "  she  said  but added that with congressional -- and press -- attention on the issue  the White House staff is making a strong effort to comply.
"By next week there will be almost no one left" who has not submitted paperwork to begin the process   she  said. Officials said White House lawyer William Kennedy and others repeatedly had urged non-complying officials to complete the clearance process  but the warning frequently was ignored. Lloyd Cutler  the new White House counsel  said yesterday he takes the problem seriously.

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Waymo is Positive . SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc âs Waymo  sought at least $1 billion in damages and a public apology from Uber Technologies Inc as conditions for settling  its  high-profile trade secret lawsuit against the ride-services company  sources familiar with the proposal told Reuters.
The Waymo self-driving car unit also asked that an independent monitor be appointed to ensure Uber does not use  Waymo  technology in the future  the sources said.
Uber rejected those terms as non-starters  said the sources  who were not authorized to publicly discuss settlement talks. The precise dollar amount requested by  Waymo  and the exact time the offer was made could not be learned.
 Waymoâs  tough negotiating stance  which has not been previously reported  reflects the company âs  confidence in  its  legal position after months of pretrial victories in a case which may help to determine who emerges in the forefront of the fast-growing field of self-driving cars.
The aggressive settlement demands also suggest that  Waymo  is not in a hurry to resolve the lawsuit  in part because of  its  value as a distraction for Uber leadership  said Elizabeth Rowe  a trade secret expert at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
 Waymo  recently persuaded a San Francisco federal judge to delay a trial to decide the dispute from October to early December  citing the need to investigate evidence Uber had not disclosed earlier.
Amy Candido  a  Waymo  attorney  declined to comment on any settlement talks  but said the companyâs reasons for suing Uber are âpretty clear.â
â Waymo  had one goal: to stop Uber from using  its  trade secrets â  she  said. âThat remains  its  goal.â
 Waymo  sued Uber in February  claiming that former engineer Anthony Levandowski downloaded more than 14 000 confidential files before leaving to set up a self-driving truck company  called Otto  which Uber acquired soon after.
Uber denied using any of Waymoâs trade secrets.

 Waymoâs  lawsuit has been disruptive for Uber. U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted  Waymoâs  request for a pretrial injunction in May  which prohibited Levandowski from working on Lidar  a key sensor technology for self-driving cars that is the crux of the current litigation.
Uber later fired Levandowski  regarded as a visionary in autonomous technology  after he refused to return Waymo documents at the heart of the case. Levandowski has asserted his constitutional right against self-incrimination and declined to answer questions from  Waymo  lawyers.
Benchmark cited  Waymo âs allegations of trade secret theft in separate litigation aimed at forcing Kalanick off Uberâs board. A Delaware judge put that lawsuit on hold and sent it to private arbitration.
On Sunday Oct. 1  the day before Kalanick was scheduled to give a deposition in the Waymo case  Kalanickâs lawyers called  Waymo  and asked to postpone the deposition  lawyers for both companies said in court last week.
Kalanickâs lawyers said he was in the middle of a fight to appoint new board members and was therefore too busy   Waymo  attorneys said in court.  Waymo  refused the request  forcing Kalanick to attend the deposition.
