The President's Press Secretary by 1 May 2065 was Norrie Kama, who reported in the press about a meeting of the World War Council following the border skirmish between the Tenth Space Fleet and the Astran space fleet. Although the Council had decreed general mobilisation of male adults, (PROSE: Battle in Space) the World President hoped to bring a swift end to the Space War with the help of the Astran ambassador to Earth (COMIC: Ceasefire — But War Tension Mounts...) by sending a message directly to the leader of the Astra Space Empire through a special mission by Colonel Zodiac.

After the assassination of the Kaplan during his subsequent state visit to Unity City, Zodiac and Zero later came back to the President's office to report on the escape and subsequent death of Count Lugosti, the assassin. (COMIC: Army In House To House Search)
