Narrative:

Emergency overweight landing due to smoke in cabin. During gear retraction after takeoff at dca, the cockpit and cabin began to fill with smoke. I told the first officer to declare an emergency and as per my departure briefing, divert to iad. We accomplished the smoke in cabin emergency checklist and landed at iad overweight. The landing was normal with approximately 300 FPM descent at 140 KTS. After completion of the checklist, the smoke began to dissipate. I briefed the flight attendants that I did not anticipate an evacuate/evacuation upon landing since the smoke was dissipating. After a normal landing, I cleared the runway and after the fire chief confirmed that there was no smoke apparent from the exterior of the aircraft, I taxied to the gate and had the passenger deplane normally.
