   More sequester pain: White House cancels tours   
      
   By Stephen Dinan - The Washington TimesMarch 5, 2013, 02:13PM   
      
   “Due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration, we regret to   
   inform you that White House Tours will be canceled effective Saturday,   
   March 9, 2013 until further notice. Unfortunately, we will not be able   
   to reschedule affected tours,” the White House said in an email.

   The notice comes as both the White House and Congress try to find cuts   
   to their own budgets as part of $85 billion in cuts to the entire   
   government.   
      
   As President Obama was returning from visiting wounded veterans at   
   Walter Reed Medical Center, a reporter shouted a question about the   
   decision to cancel the tours as Mr. Obama was walking from Marine One   
   to the Oval Office.   
      
   He simply smiled and waved.   
      
   At the Capitol, staffers who use the building’s West Front entrance   
   that looks out on the National Mall were told Tuesday that door would   
   be closed as of next week in order to save money.
