Object
Leo McGarry's Daily Schedule
A letter‑size, single‑page typed schedule densely packed with time‑stamped appointments, briefings, and terse notes. Print is small and pragmatic; edges show light thumb‑wear from being passed across Leo's desk. In the scene the sheet sits among desk clutter, is picked up and read aloud by President Bartlet to catalogue Leo's brutal day, and functions as a tactile prompt that Mallory and Margaret react to during a late‑night confrontation.

Purpose
To record and organize the chief of staff's appointments, briefings, and time allocations for the day so staff can coordinate access, tasks, and handoffs.
Significance
Serves as an expository device that quantifies Leo's workload and humanizes his sacrifice; when Bartlet reads it aloud the schedule diffuses family tension, reframes Mallory's accusation, and underwrites the scene's emotional reconciliation, tying administrative duty to personal cost.
