本次会见的地点在白宫地图室，不对媒体开放。评论认为，奥巴马选择周末在地图室而不是具有象征意义的椭圆形办公室会见达赖喇嘛，是为了营造“私人会晤”的气氛，降低中方的不悦。奥巴马上次会见达赖喇嘛，也是在地图室进行，但还是引发了中国的强烈不满。

Mr. Elsey was 24 when he went to work in the White House Map Room in 1942. Security was so tight that Roosevelt’s Secret Service agents were not allowed inside. Not even the vice president could enter the room, which held records of presidential communications with other heads of state and the country’s most sensitive military plans.
