This collection deals with records addressing the issues of cloning, stem cells, family planning, and other related matters.

The collection contains press releases, emails with attachments focusing on scheduling and legislation, drafts, executive orders, reports, correspondence, memoranda, and newspaper clippings.

This collection deals with records addressing the issues of cloning, stem cells, family planning, and other related matters.

The collection contains press releases, emails with attachments focusing on scheduling and legislation, drafts, executive orders, reports, correspondence, memoranda, and newspaper clippings.

Description
An account of the resource
This collection deals with records addressing the issues of cloning, stem cells, family planning, and other related matters. These papers document the efforts of the Clinton Administration to expand family planning on both the domestic and international level, to put restrictions and limitations on cloning, and to arrive at some sort of agreement that would make it possible for stem cells to be used in research. The collection contains press releases, emails with attachments focusing on scheduling and legislation, drafts, executive orders, reports, correspondence, memoranda, and newspaper clippings.

P-005 to P-008 (There are 6 pending records.)
P-314 to P-322 (There are 52 pending records.)
There are no backup documents i n Betty's books, so I
assume that these records (MS-001, P-005, P-314 can be
deleted) — am I correct? I s there a way to see i f
previous l e t t e r s have been sent out?
(There i s a note i n Betty's Book t h a t P-005 was obsolete
on July 2, 1993 — does t h a t mean t h a t P-005 was already
deleted or archived?)
Also, the system w i l l not l e t me delete P-812.

Hi! John Wertman asked me to email you about the welfare form letter (p-327). It is definitely one that
needs to be on hold - I'm working on revising it. The form letters below are the ones that I am working on
revising. I am also going to update the pro-cultural funding form letter (315?). Please let me know if you
think I need to do any others (e.g., Trudy and I talked about a new ag letter). Thanks!

Dear «salutationl»:
Thank you for sharing your views about federal funding for cultural programs.
I am committed to supporting the arts and humanities. Our cultural life provides us with a link to
our country's diverse heritage, helping us to understand one another and to appreciate the experiences
and beliefs we share as Americans.
My Administration supports the work of the National Endowment for the Arts, the National
Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute for Museum and Library Sciences. These agencies
enrich our national life by bringing art and literature, music and dance to big cities and small towns
all across our country. They give needed support to artists, performers, and thinkers who inspire us,
challenge our imaginations, and touch our souls. Their efforts help our schools, museums, theaters,
and libraries instruct and engage citizens of all ages.
As we face the challenges ahead and as we enter the next millennium, our cultural life will help
us to reflect on our past and envision our future. Americans will be inspired, challenged, and
strengthened by our continued appreciation of and support for the arts and humanities.
Sincerely,
JUL

Leanne - Melanne just got around to making some changes to this letter (I think it surfaced on her
desk over the holidays). If any future letters need this response, here are a f e w changes:
- beginning of first paragraph should read: "While I have worked for sound economic and budget
policies, I am also committed to supporting the arts and humanitied. Our cultural life
provides...(rest of paragraph the same)"
- second paragprahp stays the same
- Last paragraph should read: "As we face the challenges ahead and as we face the next
millenium, our cultural life will help us to reflect on our past and envision our future. Americans wil
be inspired, challenged and strengthened by our conintued appreciation of and support for the arts
and humanities."

I have put our form l e t t e r about "Funding for Cultural Programs"
on hold i n l i g h t of the recent wranglings over the NEA budget. I
can't get anyone on the DPC to help me rewrite i t — no one seems
to be " i n change" of the issue as yet (although Gaynor McCown i s
trying to figure i t out), and OMB can only supply figures, not
policy. Jim Dorskind suggested that I e-mail you to ask i f
Melanne could either take a look at the l e t t e r or suggest who
might be able to handle i t . Here's the old text:
******************************************************
Thank you for sharing your views about federal funding for
c u l t u r a l programs.
While I remain determined to reduce government spending,
I am also committed to preserving American a r t i s t i c and c u l t u r a l
expression. My budget proposal contains funding for the National
Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the
Humanities, and the I n s t i t u t e of Museum Services. This funding
w i l l support many popular programs, such as the National Heritage
Fellowships, which for twelve years have helped preserve our
nation's diverse c u l t u r a l heritage, and the Arts Corps, which
brings the arts to communities that are too small to afford t h e i r
own arts programs.
By providing resources to communities across the country,
the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for
the Humanities, and the I n s t i t u t e of Museum Services help to
create an environment i n which a r t , culture, and education can
flourish. Schools, local organizations, and museums i n c i t i e s ,
towns, and r u r a l areas are able to bring America's r i c h a r t i s t i c
and h i s t o r i c a l heritage to a wide audience, while major research
and education projects ensure that American c u l t u r a l expression
w i l l remain vibrant for generations to come.

Dear John:
Thank you for your l e t t e r concerning federal funding for

While I am committed to reducing government spending, I am also
committed to preserving American a r t i s t i c and c u l t u r a l expression.
My budget proposal contains funding for the National Endowment for
the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the
I n s t i t u t e of Museum Services that r e f l e c t s a modest increase over
l a s t year. This funding w i l l support many popular programs, such
as the National Heritage Fellowships, which for twelve years have
helped preserve our nation's diverse c u l t u r a l heritage, and the Arts
Corps, which brings the arts to communities that are too small to
afford t h e i r own arts programs.
By providing resources to communities across the country, the
National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the

an environment in which a r t , culture, and education can f l o u r i s h .
Schools, local organizations, and museums i n c i t i e s , towns, and

schools, dhurches, and c i v i c organizations must a l l get inVolved
in helping young people make wise choices and take r e s p o n s i b i l i t y

While I am Committed to reducing government spending, I
am also committed^to preserving American a r t i s t i c and c u l t u r a l
expression. I have propoocd funding for the National Endowment
for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and
the I n s t i t u t e of Museum Services at levels comparable to l a s t
year. This funding w i l l support many popular programs such as
the National Heritage Fellowships, which for twelve years have
helped preserve our nation's diverse c u l t u r a l heritage, and
the Arts Corps, which bring arts to communities that are too
small to afford t h e i r own arts programs.
The National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment
for the Humanities and the I n s t i t u t e of Museum Services help to
provide an environment i n which a r t , culture, and education can
flourish. The National Endowment for the Arts nurtures America's
arts i n order to bring our culture to a wider audience. Major
research and educational projects depend on support from the
National Endowment for the Humanities. The I n s t i t u t e of Museum
Services provides c r i t i c a l resources to museums to help maintain
America's h i s t o r i c a l and s c i e n t i f i c heritage.
As we face the great challenges ahead, American democracy
w i l l be strengthened by the diversity and v i t a l i t y of our a r t and

Dear John:
Thank you for your l e t t e r concerning federal funding for

While I am committed to reducing government spending,
I am also committed to enriching the l i v e s of a l l Americans by
preserving American a r t i s t i c and cultural expression. I have
proposed funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, the
National Endowment for the Humanities, and the I n s t i t u t e of

funding w i l l support many popular programs such as the National
Heritage Fellowships, which for twelve years have helped preserve
our nation's diverse cultural heritage, and the Arts Corps, which
brings arts to communities that are too small to afford t h e i r own
arts programs.
The N.E.A., N.E.H., and I.M.S. help to provide an
environment i n which a r t , culture, and education can f l o u r i s h .
The National Endowment for the Arts nurtures America's arts i n

It's about that time again.... since the budget is out, I'd like to update our cultural funding form letter. I
read the FY 2001 budget summary materials, but I didn't see anything about endowments funding. Would
you be able to email me the FY 2001 requested levels of funding for the NEA, NEH, and IMLS? Also, I'd
like to verify the enacted levels for FY 2000:
IMLS: $24.4 million (slight increase over FY 1999)
NEH: $115.7 million (increase of $5 million over FY 1999)
NEA: $98 million (same as FY1999)
Thanks so much for your help on this!

�Thank you for sharing your views about federal funding for cultural
programs.
1 am committed to supporting the arts and humanities. Our cultural
life provides us with a link to our country's diverse heritage,
helping us to understand one another and to appreciate the experiences
and beliefs we share as Americans.
My Administration supportsthe work of the National Endowment for the
Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute of
Museum and Library Services. These agencies enrich our national life
by bringing art and literature, music and dance to big cities and
small towns all across our country. They give needed support to
artists, performers, and thinkers who inspire us, challenge our
j> j .
imaginations, and touch our souls. Their efforts help our schools,
J^' ^
museums, theaters, and libraries instruct and engage citizens of all
^'' Mt^
ages.
The past year has be^h a successful one for securing funding for
cultural programs For Fiscal Year 1999, the NEH received $110.7
million, the NEA received $98.5 million, and the IMS received a slight
increase in funding. Althoughrlhe Endowments themyulvuslini-nut
receive increased funding, (ne NEA — with the Administration's strong
support - defeated coatirmng efforts to slash its budget and add
further spending restrictions. In addition, our national cultural
centers, like the Smithsonian Institution and the Kennedy Center,
received increases and the new Millennium Initiative for historical
and cultural presertvation that I announced in my State of the Union
Address was funded at $30 million.
As we face the chalfenges ahead and as we enter the next millennium,
our cultural lifo will help us to reflect on our past and envision uui -~

Subject: additional clarification on Endowment funding information
ReneeAs per our conversation, you'll note from previously sent emails that the IMLS-Office of Library Services
budget request for FY 2000 is less than the FY 1999 enacted budget.
Specifically:
FY 1999: $166 million
FY 2000: $155
To clarify, the Administration's budget does not cut IMLS funding.
Rather, $11 million of the FY 1999 appropriation was earmarked by Congress; $10 million specifically
supported the Constitution Center.
This explains the inconsistency in the numbers.

Melanne wants this letter to be sent to pro-cultural supporters. Changes are in bold
Thank you for sharing your views about federal funding for cultural programs.
I am committed to supporting the arts and humanities. Our cultural life provides us with
a link to our country's diverse heritage, helping us to understand one another and to appreciate
the experiences and beliefs we share as Americans.
My Administration supports the work of the National Endowment for the Arts, the
National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Institute for Museum and Library Sciences.
These agencies enrich our national life by bringing art and literature, music and dance to big
cities and small towns all across our country. They give needed support to artists, performers,
and thinkers who inspire us, challenge our imaginations, and touch our souls. Their efforts help
our schools, museums, theaters, and libraries instruct and engage citizens of all ages.
In this year's budget vote, the National Endowment for the Humanities received
$110.7 million for FY 1999 and the National Endowment for the Arts* appropriation was
98.5 million. The Institute of Museum and Library Services received a slight increase in
funding. While the Endowments themselves did not receive additional funding this budget
cycle, the NEA — with the Administration's strong support ~ beat back continuing efforts
to slash its funding and add further spending restrictions. In addition, our national
cultural centers, like the Smithsonian, the National Gallery of Art and the Kennedy
Center, received increases. The new Millenium Initiative for historic and cultural
preservation that I announced in my State of the Union Address was funded at $30 million
for next year.
As we face the challenges ahead and as we enter the next millennium, our cultural life
will help us to reflect on our past and envision our future. Americans will be inspired,
challenged, and strengthened by our continued appreciation of and support for the arts and
humanities.

Dear John:
Thank you for sharing your views with
me.
As a nation, our goal should be to protect individual freedom
while fostering responsible decision-making. My actions as President
have exemplified my dedication to t h i s goal.
I believe that personal privacy i s a fundamental l i b e r t y
protected by our B i l l of Rights. The right to privacy includes the
right to make decisions regarding abortion. Therefore, I directed
the Secretary of Health and Human Services to l i f t the gag rule.
This change guarantees that low-income Americans who use federally
funded family planning c l i n i c s w i l l have the same opportunities as
other Americans to learn about a l l options available to them.
I also believe that women should have access to a l l safe and
legal options when making d i f f i c u l t and intensely personal decisions.
That i s why I also directed Secretary Shalala to instruct the FDA to
determine whether there i s s u f f i c i e n t evidence of health and safety
r i s k s to warrant exclusion of RU 486 from the l i s t of drugs that
qualify for the personal use importation exemption.
F i n a l l y , I l i f t e d the moratori,uin-on federal funding for research
involving f e t a l tissue to ensure that science and medicine w i l l stay
free from the grasp of p o l i t i c s ^nd alV Americans w i l l have access
to the very l a t e s t and best medieval/treatments. As you may know, the
moratorium dramatically limited theTdevelopment of possible treatment
for millions of individuals who suffer from serious disorders,
including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and
leukemia.
Again, thank you for your input.\

Dear John:
Thank you for sharing your views with me on the l i f t i n g
of the T i t l e X "gag rule."
As a nation, our goal should be to protect individual
freedom while fostering responsible decision-making.
Because
of my dedication to that goal, I directed the Secretary of Health
and Human Services to l i f t the gag rule.
I believe the right to privacy includes the right to make
d i f f i c u l t and intensely personal decisions regarding abortion.
L i f t i n g the gag rule guarantees that low-income Americans who
use federally funded family planning c l i n i c s w i l l have the same
opportunities as other Americans to learn about a l l options
available to them.
While I am firmly pro-choice, I am not pro-abortion.
We must do more to reduce the number of abortions and unwanted
pregnancies, and I am working to that end.
Sincerely,
(02/26/93)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about f e t a l tissue
research. I appreciate having your perspective.
This i s a very d i f f i c u l t issue for many Americans. However,
the moratorium on federal funding for t h i s kind of research has
hampered the development of the l a t e s t and best medical
treatments for many Americans who suffer from life-threatening
diseases. That i s why I directed the Secretary of Health and
Human Services to l i f t the moratorium. S c i e n t i s t s at the

moratorium has advanced the development of possible treatment
for millions of individuals who suffer from serious disorders,

Dear John:
Thank you for sharing your views with me on l i f t i n g the ban
on f e t a l tissue research.
While I am firmly pro-choice, I am not pro-abortion. We
must do more to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies, and
I am working to that end.
At the same time, we must free science and medicine from
the grasp of p o l i t i c s and give a l l Americans access to the very
l a t e s t and best medical treatments. That i s why I directed the
Secretary of Health and Human Services to l i f t the moratorium on
federal funding for research involving transplantation of f e t a l
tissue.
The moratorium has dramatically limited the development of
possible treatment for millions of individuals who suffer from
serious disorders, including Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's
disease, diabetes, and leukemia. The l i f t i n g of the moratorium
was recommended i n 1989 by a blue ribbon advisory panel of the
National I n s t i t u t e s of Health.
Though we may d i f f e r on these issues, I hope that our common
concerns for the future of America w i l l unite us. I appreciate
your s i n c e r i t y and your candor.

This collection consists of files and email accounts from the White House staff related to The Defense of Marriage Act. The collection also contains records related to Hawaii Supreme Court’s Baehrs vs. Lewin, and California’s Proposition 22. The collection consists of clippings, emails, letters, memoranda, notes, press releases, and talking points concerning DOMA, same sex marriage, and domestic partnerships.

Dear John:
Thank you for your l e t t e r regarding student loans.
I appreciate hearing your views as we work to open the doors
of opportunity for education and training for a l l Americans.
In 1993, I was proud to sign into law the National and
Community Service Act and the Student Loan Reform Act. These
programs allow students to borrow money for education and
training d i r e c t l y from the government. Individuals may repay
those loans i n fixed monthly payments, or in annual payments
based on t h e i r income after leaving school. Students may also
exchange public service for funding by competing for admission
to the AmeriCorps National Service program.
F l e x i b l e loan options enable graduates to s e l e c t jobs
without undue concern about r i g i d repayment schedules. In order
€o ensure f a i r access to f i n a n c i a l aid for a l l students, we w i l l
continue to take steps to prevent borrowers from defaulting on
loans. Through these i n i t i a t i v e s , deserving students w i l l be
able to pursue t h e i r education without creating an unfair burden

Education i s a smart investment in our future. Together,

This l e t t e r i s currently called "National Service/College Funding" but
should j u s t be changed to "College Funding Opportunities" as i t j u s t
mentions AmeriCorps as way of getting $, and does not go into the program
in d e t a i l . We then need to create a new l e t t e r that j u s t t a l k s about
National Service/AmeriCorps because we w i l l be getting a l o t of l e t t e r s on
that soon!

provide our students with the best f i n a n c i a l aid system possible.
There are some serious problems i n the present system for
college funding. The college drop-out rate i s more than twice the
high school drop-out rate, i n part, because many students cannot
afford to stay. With college tuitions r i s i n g even faster than
health care costs, many students who do borrow the money for school
end up defaulting on their loans. Loan corporations are making huge
p r o f i t s on these student loans through federal subsidies and taxpayer
guarantees of loan defaults. The banks have l i t t l e incentive to
c o l l e c t these loans, and the taxpayers bear the burden of the
defaults.
I want to provide federal loans d i r e c t l y to students. Many
w i l l be able to repay them through my National Service program, while
others w i l l pay the money back through a government repayment plan.
We w i l l scale the payments to their s a l a r i e s so graduates w i l l be

There are some serious problems in/ the present system for college
Mwlg
funding. The college dropout rata is more than twice the high
school dropout rate, in part, because many students cannot afford
to stay. With college tuitions rising even faster than health
care costs, many students who do morrow the money for school end
up defaulting on their loans. L/ban corporations are making huge
profits on these student loans, ^booause theyxnow the federal-'
government has guarantfeed^these loans aL iranoty canto on. tho

I want to thank you for you letter.
A President must make many decisions on what is right and what is
wrong. I was reared in the Christian faith and throughout my life
the Bible has given me much guidance. The Baptist tradition in
which I grew up, also taught me tolerance and that we must respect
diversity. These values are firmly rooted in our Constitution. I
firmly believe in the Constitution and the rights and protections it
grants us as American citizens. The key to these rights however is
that we must use them responsibly and understand our duties to
others. As I face these tough issues, I will continually turn to these
beliefs for direction and clarity.
Though we may differ from time to time, I know our common concern
for the future of America will unite us. I appreciate you sincerity
and candor.

The B a p t i s t t r a d i t i o n i n which I grew up also taught me t h e

Africa, the Near East, Latin America and the

Dear John:
Thank you for contacting me regarding efforts to bar same-sex marriages. I know that
this is a difficult issue for many Americans and that reasonable people have strongly held
beliefs on either side.
Although I signed the bill sent to me by Congress because it was consistent with
my long-held views, I strongly believe that raising this issue last year was divisive and
unnecessary, especially in view of the timing. It was yet another attempt to divert the
American people from the urgent need to confront our challenges together. The rich fabric
of American society is woven from the threads of our shared experience, and it is of the
utmost importance that our nation work to expand this common ground.
Throughout my public life, I have strongly opposed discrimination against any group
of people, including gay and lesbian Americans, and I have supported legislation to outlaw
discrimination against gays and lesbians in the workplace. I have also sought to heighten
public awareness of discrimination and promote inclusion in order to send a message of
equality and acceptance.
My Administration has taken more steps than any other on behalf of gay and lesbian
Americans. For the first time in history, we have openly gay and lesbian individuals
serving in senior Administration positions, and their impact has been both significant and
positive. In addition, I have issued an executive order prohibiting discrimination on the
grounds of sexual orientation in the granting of security clearances. I believe that we must
make the most out of our great diversity and continue to help people rise as far as their
talents and determination can take thepi.

w i t h ones that are coming in now? There are still some coming in; I thinK they deserve the best

Dorskind has a question about the DOMA language you and I have been working on. He isn't
comfortable w i t h saying "...my previously stated views." because, he says, it makes it sound as
thought the President were saying "I'm signing this because I said I would ealier" and doesn't
describe WHY he said earlier he would. I understand Dorkskind's point, so how might we modify
our language to work around this? Here's a copy of how it stands n o w :

Dear John:
Thank you for contacting me regarding marriage of couples of the same gender.
In 1992, I stated my opposition to same-gender marriage, and recently, when the issue was
raised in Congress, I said that if a bill consistent with my previously stated position reached my
desk, I would sign it.
I strongly believe, however, that raising this issue is divisive and unnecessary. It is yet
another attempt to divert the American people from the urgent need to confront our challenges
together. Therichfabric of American society is woven from the threads of our shared
experience, and it is of the utmost importance that our nation work to expand this common
ground.
Throughout my public life, I have strongly opposed discrimination against any group of
people, including gay and lesbian Americans, and I have supported legislation to outlaw
discrimination against gays and lesbians in the workplace. I have also sought to heighten public
awareness of the discrimination and promote inclusion in order to send a message of equality and
acceptance.
My Administration has taken more steps than any other on behalf of gay and lesbian
Americans. For the first time in history, we have openly gay and lesbian individuals serving in
senior Administration positions, and their impact has been significant - and positive. In addition,
I have issued an executive order prohibiting discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation in
the granting of security clearances. I believe that we must make the most out of our great
diversity and continue to help peopleriseas far as their talents and determination can take them.
I know this is a difficult issue for many Americans, and I appreciate your taking the time to
share your thoughts.
Sincerely,

Dear John:
Thank you for contacting me regarding marriage of couples of the same gender.
In 1992, I stated my opposition to same gender marriage and recently, when the issue was
raised in Congress, I said that if a bill consistent with my previously stated position reached my
desk, I would sign it.
I strongly believe however, that raising this issue is divisive and unnecessary. It is yet
another attempt to divert the American people from the urgent need to confront our challenges
together. The rich fabric of American society is woven from the threads of our shared
experience, and it is of the utmost importance that our nation work to expand this common
ground.
Throughout my public life, I have strongly opposed discrimination against any group of
people, including gay and lesbian Americans, and I have supported legislation to outlaw
discrimination against gays and lesbians in the workplace. I have also sought to heighten public
awareness of the discrimination and promote inclusion in order to send a message of equality and
acceptance.
My Administration has taken more steps than any other on behalf of gay and lesbian
Americans. For the first time in history we have openly gay and lesbian individuals serving in
senior Administration positions, and their impact has been significant and positive. In addition, I
have issued an Executive Order prohibiting discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation in
the granting of security clearances.
I believe that we must make the most out of our great diversity and continue to help people
rise as far as their talents and determination can take them.
I know this is a difficult issue for many Americans, and I appreciate your taking the time to
share your thoughts.
Sincerely,

Dear John:
Thank you for contacting Hillary regarding marriage of couples of the same gender. She has
asked me to respond on her behalf.
In 1992, I stated my opposition to same-gender marriage, and recently, when the issue was
raised in Congress, I said that if a bill consistent with my previously stated position reached my
desk, I would sign it.
I strongly believe, however, that raising this issue is divisive and unnecessary. It is yet
another attempt to divert the American people from the urgent need to confront our challenges
together. The rich fabric of American society is woven from the threads of our shared
experience, and it is of the utmost importance that our nation work to expand this common
ground.
Throughout my public life, I have strongly opposed discrimination against any group of
people, including gay and lesbian Americans, and I have supported legislation to outlaw
discrimination against gays and lesbians in the workplace. I have also sought to heighten public
awareness of the discrimination and promote inclusion in order to send a message of equality and
acceptance.
My Administration has taken more steps than any other on behalf of gay and lesbian
Americans. For the first time in history, we have openly gay and lesbian individuals serving in
senior Administration positions, and their impact has been significant - and positive. In addition,
I have issued an executive order prohibiting discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation in
the granting of security clearances. I believe that we must make the most out of our great
diversity and continue to help people rise as far as their talents and determination can take them.
I know this is a difficult issue for many Americans, and I appreciate your taking the time to
share your thoughts.
Sincerely,

Dear «salutation2b»:
Thank you for expressing your views regarding the Gay and Lesbian Pride Month
proclamation.
I want to make clear that the purpose of that proclamation was not to challenge or
disregard anyone's religious beliefs or to take a position on homosexuality as a religious
matter. I have long supported the right of all our citizens to exercise their religious
beliefs freely and openly, and I was proud to release guidelines to guarantee this right
both in the federal workplace and in our schools. Instead, the goal of the proclamation
was to recognize that diversity exists in our nation and to highlight initiatives aimed at
ending discrimination, violence, and intolerance based on sexual orientation.
While our opinions may differ, I remain committed to ensuring that no one in
America confronts discrimination, and I hope we can find a common ground in our
shared values of love and concern for others. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Sincerely,
T^VA CM.

Dear «salutation2b»:
Thank you for expressing your views regarding^Gay and Lesbian Pride Month
proclamation.
I want to make clear that the purpose of that proclamation was not to challenge or
disregard anyone's religious beliefs or to take a position on homosexuality as a religious
matter. I have long supported the right of all our citizens to exercise their religious
beliefs freely and openly, and I was proud to release guidelines to guarantee this right
both in the federal workplace and in our schools. Instead, the goal of the proclamation
was to recognize that diversity exists in our nation and to highlight initiatives aimed at
ending discrimination, violence, and intolerance based on sexual orientation.
While our opinions may differ, I remain committed to ensuring that no one in
America confronts discrimination, and I hope we can find a common ground in our
shared values of love and concern for others. ^Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Sincerely,
(9/15/99)

There are no easy answers, but people of good faith must work together to resolve these matters.
No one in America should ever have to confront discrimination. The Gay and Lesbian Pride
Month proclamation celebrates my Administration's initiatives to end discrimination based on
sexual orientation and to ensure that gays and lesbians have the same rights as all Americans.
Since our earliest days as a nation, Americans have worked to make real the ideals of equality
and freedom so eloquently expressed in our Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. It
is a priority of my Administration to enter a new millennium as one country, living those
principles, recognizing our common values, and building on our shared strengths.
I deeply appreciate your counsel and will keep your thoughts in mind.
You have my best wishes.

Dear «salutationl»:
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about education in America.
As we address the challenges of this new century, our commitment to education must remain strong.
Ensuring that every American has a world-class education is a top priority of my Administration. We must
expand opportunities by giving our children the tools they need to make the most of their potential. We must
help them harness the powerful forces of technology, so that every student - including those in the most
isolated rural towns and those in the poorest inner-city schools - has access to the vast universe of knowledge
available on the Internet.
Our success in boosting wages and strengthening our nation's economy depends on the skill and education
of our people. We must work together to ensure that every 8-year-old is able to read, every 12-year-old is
able to log onto the Internet, every 18-year-old is able to go to college, and every adult American is able
to keep on learning for a lifetime. Government must work in partnership with educators, administrators,
community leaders, and parents to achieve these goals. My plan calls for establishing world-class educational
standards, expanding the Head Start program, rebuilding crumbling schools, hiring high-quality teachers,
expanding after-school and summer school programs, and increasing school accountability. These programs
are all valuable investments in the future of our country.
I appreciate knowing your views as we continue our efforts to foster excellence in American education.
Sincerely,
7/17/00

Hey Kendra,
I'm faxing to you a draft for your review. It's for the form response to letters the President receives from
average citizens about education in general. The letter we've been sending out is pretty good, and I only
think that we only need to make minor changes (which I did in the draft). Please review the draft and let
me know what you think (especially if you'd like for more drastic revisions).

Have you had a chance to review this draft and the Mary Frances Berry draft which I faxed to you on the

as soon as possible.
Also, I understand that you were able to get in contact with Debi Alexander to make arrangements about
that thank you letter you were working on. Debi passed it along to me to rework it so that it's conforms to
the President's style and standards (I looks like it needs only minor changes). If you'd like, I can run it by

Subject: Gaston Caperton
Hey Kendra,
Gaston Caperton, the former Governor of West Virginia, sent the President a note saying that West
Virginia once had poor school facilities, but today 70% of its studenta attend school in new or substantially
improved buildings. He also notes that students in poor and run-down schools come to 2 conclusions: 1.
that what they do in school is not important; and 2. that they are not important.
I've prepared the following draft in response. Please let me know if it's ok. Thanks
Dear
Gaston:
Thank you so much f o r your note and t h e i n f o r m a t i o n
on West
V i r g i n i a ' s p u b l i c e d u c a t i o n system, which L o r e t t a O c e l l i passed
a l o n g t o me.
I s t r o n g l y agree t h a t o u r n a t i o n ' s c h i l d r e n deserve b e t t e r
schools and f a c i l i t i e s and t h a t run-down s c h o o l s f o s t e r

Have you had a chance to review this draft and the Mary Frances Berry draft which I faxed to you on the
11th? Both letter have become a priority for us, so I'd appreciate it if you could let me know your thoughts
as soon as possible.
Also, I understand that you were able to get in contact with Debi Alexander to make arrangements about
that thank you letter you were working on. Debi passed it along to me to rework it so that it's conforms to
the President's style and standards (I looks like it needs only minor changes). If you'd like, I can run it by
you before I submit it.
Thanks,
Chris

Hey Kendra,
Gaston Caperton, the former Governor of West Virginia, sent the President a note saying that West
Virginia once had poor school facilities, but today 70% of its studenta attend school in new or substantially
improved buildings. He also notes that students in poor and run-down schools come to 2 conclusions: 1.
that what they do in school is not important; and 2. that they are not important.
I've prepared the following draft in response. Please let me know if it's ok. Thanks
Dear Gaston:

Great letter.The only comment that I have is in the second sentence "Ensuring that every American has a
world-class education is the number on priority..."
Apparently there are some problems with the network server - that's why I haven't been able to work/edit
on word. Until it's fixed I'll send comments this way.

�Old Version
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about education in America.
As we prepare to face the challenges of the next century, our commitment to education must remain
strong. Ensuring that every American has the best education in the world is the number-one priority of my
second term. We must expand opportunities by giving our children the tools they need to make the most
of their God-given potential. We must help them harness the powerful forces of technology, so that every
student, including those in the most isolated rural towns and those in the poorest inner-city schools, has
access to the vast universe of knowledge available on the Internet.
We must work together to ensure that every 8-year-old is able to read, every 12-year-old is able to log on
to the Internet, every 18-year-old is able to go to college, and every adult American is able to keep on
learning for a lifetime, government must work in partnership with educators, administrators, community
leaders, and parents to achieve these goals. My plan calls for establishing world-class educational
standards, expanding the Head Start program, rebuilding crumbling schools, emphasizing character
education, and giving parents the power to choose the right public school for their children. Our success
in boosting wages and strengthening our nation's economy depends on the skill and education of our
people. The work we are doing now is a valuable investment in the future of our country.
I appreciate knowing your views as we continue our efforts to foster excellence in American education.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about education in America.
As we prepare to face the challenges of the next century, our commitment to education must remain
strong. Ensuring that every American has the best education in the world is the numbe^ne^riority of
my second term. We must expand opportunities by giving our children the tools they need to make the
most of their God-given potential. We must help them harness the powerful forces of technology, so that
every student, including those in the most isolated rural towns and those in the poorest inner-city schools,
as access to the vast universe of knowledge available on the Internet.
h
We must work together to ensure that every eight-year-old is able to read, every twelve-year-old is
able to log on to the Internet, every eighteen-year-old is able to go to college, and every adult American
is able to keep on learning for a lifetime. My 1998 balanced budget proposal commits an unprecedented
$51 billion toward these goals. Government must work in partnership with educators, administrators,
community leaders, and parents to achieve them. My plan calls for establishing world-class educational
standards, expanding the Head Start program, rebuilding crumbling schools, emphasizing character
education, and giving parents the power to choose the right public school for their children. Our success
in boosting wages and strengthening our nation's economy depends on the skill and education of our
people. The work we are doing now is a valuable investment in the future of our country.
I appreciate knowing your views as we continue our efforts to foster excellence in American
education.
Sincerely,
JUL

For Immediate Release
February 4, 1997
REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
IN STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS
United States Capitol
9:15 P.M. EST
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Speaker, Mr. Vice President, members
of the 105th Congress, distinguished guests, and my fellow Americans:
I think I should start by saying, thanks for inviting me
back. (Applause.) I come before you tonight with a challenge as
great as any in our peacetime history, and a plan of action to meet
�that challenge, to prepare our people for the bold new world of the
21 st century.
We have much to be thankful for. With four years of
g r o w t h , we have w o n back the basic strength of our economy. With
crime and welfare rolls declining, we are winning back our optimism,
the enduring faith that we can master any difficulty. With the Cold
War receding and global commerce at record levels, we are helping to
win unrivaled peace and prosperity all across the world.
My fellow Americans, the state of our union is strong.
(Applause.) But now we must rise to the decisive moment, to make a
nation and a world better than any we have ever known. The new
promise of the global economy, the Information Age, unimagined new
work, life-enhancing technology -- all these are ours to seize. That
is our honor and our challenge. We must be shapers of events, not
observers. For if we do not act, the moment will pass - and we will
lose the best possibilities of our future.
We face no imminent threat, but we do have an enemy -the enemy of our time is inaction. So, tonight, I issue a call to
action -- action by this Congress, action by our states, by our
people, to prepare America for the 21st century. Action to keep our
economy and our democracy strong and working for all our people;
action to strengthen education and harness the forces of technology
and science; action to build stronger families and stronger
communities and a safer environment; action to keep America the
world's strongest force for peace, freedom and prosperity. And above
all, action to build a more perfect union here at home.
The spirit we bring to our work will make all the
difference. We must be committed to the pursuit of opportunity for
all Americans, responsibility from all Americans, in a community of
all Americans. And we must be committed to a new kind of government
-- not to solve all our problems for us, but to give our people -all our people -- the tools they need to make the most of their o w n
lives.
And we must work together. The people of this nation
elected us all. They want us to be partners, not partisans. They
put us all right here in the same boat, they gave us all oars, and
they told us to row. Now, here is the direction I believe we should
take.
First, we must move quickly to complete the unfinished
business of our country -- to balance our budget, renew our
democracy, and finish the job of welfare reform.
Over the last four years, we have brought new economic
g r o w t h by investing in our people, expanding our exports, cutting our
deficits, creating over 11 million new jobs, a four-year record.
(Applause.) Now we must keep our economy the strongest in the world.
�We here tonight have an historic opportunity. Let this Congress be
the Congress that finally balances the budget. (Applause.)
In t w o days, I will propose a detailed plan to balance
the budget by 2 0 0 2 . This plan will balance the budget and invest in
our people while protecting Medicare, Medicaid, education, and the
environment. It will balance the budget and build on the Vice
President's efforts to make our government work better, even as it
costs less. It will balance the budget and provide middle class tax
relief to pay for education and health care, to help to raise a
child, to buy and sell a home.
Balancing the budget requires only your vote and my
signature. It does not require us to rewrite our Constitution.
(Applause.) I believe it is both unnecessary and unwise to adopt a
balanced budget amendment that could cripple our country in time of
crisis, and force unwanted results, such as judges halting Social
Security checks or increasing taxes. Let us at least agree, we
should not pass any measure - no measure should be passed that
threatens Social Security. (Applause.) Whatever your view on that,
we all must concede we don't need a constitutional amendment, we need
action. (Applause.)
Whatever our differences, we should balance the budget
now. And then, for the long-term health of our society, we must
agree to a bipartisan process to preserve Social Security and reform
Medicare for the long run, so that these fundamental programs will be
as strong for our children as they are for our parents.
And let me say something that's not in my script
tonight. I know this is not going to be easy. But I really believe
one of the reasons the American people gave me a second term was to
take the tough decisions in the next four years that will carry our
country through the next 50 years. I know it is easier for me than
for you to say or do. But another reason I was elected is to support
all of you, without regard to party, to give you what is necessary to
join in these decisions. We owe it to our country and to our future.
(Applause.)
Our second piece of unfinished business requires us to
commit ourselves tonight, before the eyes of America, to finally
enacting bipartisan campaign finance reform. (Applause.)
Now, Senators McCain and Feingold, Representatives Shays
and Meehan, have reached across party lines here to craft tough and
fair reform. Their proposal would curb spending, reduce the role of
special interests, create a level playing field between challengers
and incumbents, and ban contributions from noncitizens, all corporate
sources, and the other large soft money contributions that both
parties receive.
You know and I know that this can be delayed. And you
know and I know the delay will mean the death of reform. So let's
set our o w n deadline. Let's work together to write bipartisan
�campaign finance reform into law and pass McCain-Feingold by the day
we celebrate the birth of our democracy -- July the 4 t h . (Applause.)
There is a third piece of unfinished business. Over the
last four years, we moved a record 2.25 million people off the
welfare rolls. Then last year, Congress enacted landmark welfare
reform legislation, demanding that all able-bodied recipients assume
the responsibility of moving from welfare to work.
Now each and every one of us has to fulfill our
responsibility - indeed, our moral obligation - to make sure that
people w h o now must work, can work. (Applause.) Now we must act to
meet a new goal: 2 million more people off the welfare rolls by the
year 2 0 0 0 .
Here is my plan: Tax credits and other incentives for
businesses that hire people off welfare; incentives for job placement
firms and states to create more jobs for welfare recipients;
training, transportation, and child care to help people go to work.
Now I challenge every state: Turn those welfare checks
into private sector paychecks. I challenge every religious
congregation, every community nonprofit, every business to hire
someone off welfare. And I'd like to say especially to every
employer in our country who ever criticized the old welfare system,
you can't blame that old system anymore, we have torn it d o w n . Now
do your part. Give someone on welfare the chance to go to work.
(Applause.)
Tonight, I am pleased to announce that five major
corporations - Sprint, Monsanto, UPS, Burger King and United
Airlines - will be the first to join in a new national effort to
marshal America's businesses, large and small, to create jobs so that
people can move from welfare to work. (Applause.)
We passed welfare reform. All of you know I believe we
were right to do it. But no one can walk out of this chamber w i t h a
clear conscience unless you are prepared to finish the job.
(Applause.)
And we must join together to do something else, too something both Republican and Democratic governors have asked us to
do - to restore basic health and disability benefits when misfortune
strikes immigrants who came to this country legally, who work hard,
pay taxes and obey the law. To do otherwise is simply unworthy of a
great nation of jmmigrants. (Applause.)
Now, looking ahead, the greatest step of all - the high
threshold of the future we now must cross - and my number one
priority for the next four years is to ensure that all Americans have
the best education in the world. (Applause.)
Let's work together to meet these three goals: Every
8-year-old must be able to read; every 12-year-old must be able to
_
�log on to the Internet; every 18-year-old must be able to go to
college; and every adult American must be able to keep on learning
for a lifetime. (Applause.)
My balanced budget makes an unprecedented commitment to
these goals - $51 billion next year. But far more than money is
required. I have a plan, a Call to Action for American Education,
based on these 10 principles.
First, a national crusade for education standards - not
federal government standards, but national standards, representing
what all our students must know to succeed in the knowledge economy
of the 21st century. Every state and school must shape the
curriculum to reflect these standards, and train teachers to lift
students up to them. To help schools meet the standards and measure
their progress, we will lead an effort over the next t w o years to
develop national tests of student achievement in reading and math.
Tonight, I issue a challenge to the nation: Every state
should adopt high national standards, and by 1999, every state should
test every 4th grader in reading and every 8th grader in math to make
sure these standards are met. (Applause.)
Raising standards will not be easy, and some of our
children will not be able to meet them at first. The point is not to
put our children d o w n , but to lift them up. Good tests will show us
w h o needs help, what changes in teaching to make, and which schools
need to improve. They can help us to end social promotion. For no
child should move from grade school to junior high, or junior high to
high school until he or she is ready.
Last m o n t h , our Secretary of Education Dick Riley and I
visited Northern Illinois, where 8th grade students from 20 school
districts, in a project aptly called "First in the World," took the
Third International Math and Science Study. That's a test that
reflects the world-class standards our children must meet for the new
era. And those students in Illinois tied for first in the world in
science and came in second in math. T w o of them, Kristin Tanner and
Chris Getsla, are here tonight, along w i t h their teacher, Sue Winski;
they're up there w i t h the First Lady. And they prove that when we
aim high and challenge our students, they will be the best in the
world. Let's give them a hand. Stand up, please. (Applause.)
Second, to have the best schools, we must have the best
teachers. Most of us in this chamber would not be here tonight
without the help of those teachers. I know that I wouldn't be here.
For years, many of our educators, led by North Carolina's Governor
Jim Hunt and the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards,
have worked very hard to establish nationally accepted credentials
for excellence in teaching. Just 5 0 0 of these teachers have been
certified since 1 9 9 5 . My budget will enable 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 more to seek
national certification as master teachers. We should reward and
recognize our best teachers. (Applause.) And as we reward them, we
should quickly and fairly remove those few who don't measure up, and
�we should challenge more of our finest young people to consider
teaching as a career.
Third, we must do more to help all our children read.
Forty percent -- forty percent -- of our 8-year-olds cannot read on
their o w n . That's w h y we have just launched the America Reads
initiative - to build a citizen army of one million volunteer tutors
to make sure every child can read independently by the end of the 3rd
grade. We will use thousands of AmeriCorps volunteers to mobilize
this citizen army. We want at least 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 college students to
help. And tonight I am pleased that 60 college presidents have
answered my call, pledging that thousands of their work-study
students will serve for one year as reading tutors. (Applause.)
This is also a challenge to every teacher and every
principal. You must use these tutors to help students read. And it
is especially a challenge to our parents. You must read with your
children every night.
This leads to the fourth principle: Learning begins in
the first days of life. Scientists are now discovering how young
children develop emotionally and intellectually from their very first
days, and how important it is for parents to begin immediately
talking, singing, even reading to their infants. The First Lady has
spent years writing about this issue, studying it. And she and I are
going to convene a White House Conference on Early Learning and the
Brain this spring, to explore how parents and educators can best use
these startling new findings.
We already know we should start teaching children before
they start school. That's why this balanced budget expands Head
Start to one million children by 2 0 0 2 . (Applause.) And that is w h y
the Vice President and Mrs. Gore will host their annual family
conference this June on what we can do to make sure that parents are
an active part of their children's learning all the way through
school.
They've done a great deal to highlight the importance of
family in our life, and now they're turning their attention to
getting more parents involved in their children's learning all the
way through school. And I thank you, Mr. Vice President, and I thank
you especially, Tipper, for what you do. (Applause.)
Fifth, every state should give parents the power to
choose the right public school for their children. Their right to
choose will foster competition and innovation that can make public
schools better. We should also make it possible for more parents and
teachers to start charter schools, schools that set and meet the
highest standards, and exist only as long as they do. Our plan will
help America to create 3,000 of these charter schools by the next
century - nearly seven times as there are in the country today - so
that parents will have even more choices in sending their children to
the best schools.
�Sixth: Character education must be taught in our
schools. We must teach our children to be good citizens.
(Applause.) And we must continue to promote order and discipline,
supporting communities that introduce school uniforms, impose curfews
enforce truancy laws, remove disruptive students from the classroom,
and have zero tolerance for guns and drugs in school. (Applause.)
Seventh: We cannot expect our children to raise
themselves up in schools that are literally falling d o w n . With the
student population at an all-time high, and record numbers of school
buildings falling into disrepair, this has now become a serious
national concern. Therefore, my budget includes a new initiative
- $ 5 billion to help communities finance $20 billion in school
construction over the next four years. (Applause.)
Eighth: We must make the 13th and 14th years of
education - at least t w o years of college - just as universal in
America by the 21st century as a high school education is today, and
we must open the doors of college to Americans. (Applause.)
To do that, I propose America's HOPE Scholarship, based
on Georgia's pioneering program: t w o years of a $ 1 , 5 0 0 tax credit
for college tuition, enough to pay for the typical community college.
I also propose a tax deduction of up to $ 1 0 , 0 0 0 a year for all
tuition after high school; an expanded IRA you can withdraw from tax
free for education; and the largest increase in Pell Grant
scholarships in 20 years. (Applause.) Now, this plan will give most
families the ability to pay no taxes on money they save for college
tuition. I ask you to pass it - and give every American who works
hard the chance to go to college.
Ninth: In the 21st century, we must expand the
frontiers of learning across a lifetime. All our people, of whatever
age, must have a chance to learn new skills. Most Americans live
near a community college. The roads that take them there can be
paths to a better future. My G.I. Bill for America's Workers will
transform the confusing tangle of federal training programs into a
simple skill grant to go directly into eligible workers' hands. For
too long, this bill has been sitting on that desk there without
action - I ask you to pass it now. Let's give more of our workers
the ability to learn and to earn for a lifetime. (Applause.)
Tenth: We must bring the power of the Information Age
into all our schools. Last year, I challenged America to connect
every classroom and library to the Internet by the year 2 0 0 0 , so
that, for the first time in our history, children in the most
isolated rural t o w n s , the most comfortable suburbs, the poorest inner
city schools, will have the same access to the same universe of
knowledge. (Applause.) That is my plan - a Call to Action for
American Education. Some may say that it is unusual for a President
to pay this kind of attention to education. Some may say it is
simply because the President and his wonderful wife have been
obsessed w i t h this subject for more years than they can recall. That
is not what is driving these proposals.
�We must understand the significance of this endeavor:
One of the greatest sources of our strength throughout the Cold War
was a bipartisan foreign policy; because our future was at stake,
politics stopped at the water's edge. Now I ask you -- and I ask all
our nation's governors; I ask parents, teachers, and citizens all
across America -- for a new nonpartisan commitment to education -because education is a critical national security issue for our
future, and politics must stop at the schoolhouse door. (Applause.)
To prepare America for the 21st century we must harness
the powerful forces of science and technology to benefit all
Americans. This is the first State of the Union carried live in
video over the Internet. But we've only begun to spread the benefits
of a technology revolution that should become the modern birthright
of every citizen.
Our effort to connect every classroom is just the
beginning. Now, we should connect every hospital to the Internet, so
that doctors can instantly share data about their patients w i t h the
best specialists in the field. And I challenge the private sector
tonight to start by connecting every children's hospital as soon as
possible, so that a child in bed can stay in touch with school,
family and friends. A sick child need no longer be a child alone.
(Applause.)
We must build the second generation of the Internet so
that our leading universities and national laboratories can
communicate in speeds 1,000 times faster than today, to develop new
medical treatments, new sources of energy, new ways of working
together.
But we cannot stop there. As the Internet becomes our
new t o w n square, a computer in every home -- a teacher of all
subjects, a connection to all cultures - this will no longer be a
dream, but a necessity. And over the next decade, that must be our
goal. (Applause.)
We must continue to explore the heavens -- pressing on
w i t h the Mars probes and the international space station, both of
which will have practical applications for our everyday living.
We must speed the remarkable advances in medical
science. The human genome project is now decoding the genetic
mysteries of life. American scientists have discovered genes linked
to breast cancer and ovarian cancer, and medication that stops a
stroke in progress and begins to reverse its effect, and treatments
that dramatically lengthen the lives of people with HIV and AIDS.
Since I took office, funding for AIDS research at the
National Institutes of Health has increased dramatically - to $1.5
billion. With new resources, NIH will now become the most powerful
discovery engine for an AIDS vaccine, working with other scientists
to finally end the threat of AIDS. (Applause.) Remember that every
�year -- every year we move up the discovery of an AIDS vaccine will
save millions of lives around the world. We must reinforce our
commitment to medical science.
To prepare America for the 21st century, we must build
stronger families. Over the past four years, the Family and Medical
Leave law has helped millions of Americans to take time off to be
w i t h their families. With new pressures on people in the way they
work and live, I believe we must expand family leave so that workers
can take time off for teacher conferences and a child's medical
checkup. We should pass flex-time, so workers can choose to be paid
for overtime in income or trade it in for time off to be with their
families. (Applause.)
We must continue - we must continue, step by step, to
give more families access to affordable, quality health care. Forty
million Americans still lack health insurance. Ten million children
still lack health insurance - 80 percent of them have working
parents w h o pay taxes. That is wrong. (Applause.)
My balanced budget will extend health coverage to up to
5 million of those children. Since nearly half of all children who
lose their insurance do so because their parents lose or change a
job, my budget will also ensure that people who temporarily lose
their jobs can still afford to keep their health insurance. No child
should be without a doctor just because a parent is without a job.
(Applause.)
My Medicare plan modernizes Medicare, increases the life
of the trust fund to 10 years, provides support for respite care for
the many families with loved ones afflicted with Alzheimer's. And
for the first time, it would fully pay for annual mammograms.
(Applause.)
Just as we ended drive-through deliveries of babies last
year, we must now end the dangerous and demeaning practice of forcing
women home from the hospital only hours after a mastectomy.
(Applause.) I ask your support for bipartisan legislation to
guarantee that a woman can stay in the hospital for 48 hours after a
mastectomy. With us tonight is Dr. Kristen Zarfos, a Connecticut
surgeon whose outrage at this practice spurred a national movement
and inspired this legislation. I'd like her to stand so we thank her
for her efforts. Dr. Zarfos, thank you. (Applause.)
In the last four years, we have increased child support
collections by 50 percent. Now we should go further and do better by
making it a felony for any parent to cross a state line in an attempt
to flee from this, his or her most sacred obligation. (Applause.)
Finally, we must also protect our children by standing
firm in our determination to ban the advertising and marketing of
cigarettes that endanger their lives. (Applause.)
To prepare America for the 21st century, we must build
�stronger communities. We should start with safe streets. Serious
crime has dropped five years in a row. The key has been community
policing. We must finish the job of putting 1 0 0 , 0 0 0 community police
on the streets of the United States. (Applause.) We should pass the
Victims Rights Amendment to the Constitution.
And I ask you to mount a full-scale assault on juvenile
crime, w i t h legislation that declares war on gangs, with new
prosecutors and tougher penalties; extends the Brady.Bill so violent
teen criminals will not be able to buy handguns; requires child
safety locks on handguns to prevent unauthorized use; and helps to
keep our schools open after hours, on weekends, and in the summer, so
our young people will have someplace to go and something to say yes
to. (Applause.)
This balanced budget includes the largest antidrug
effort ever: to stop drugs at their source, punish those who push
them, and teach our young people that drugs are w r o n g , drugs are
illegal, and drugs will kill them. I hope you will support it.
(Applause.)
Our growing economy has helped to revive poor urban and
rural neighborhoods. But we must do more to empower them to create
the conditions in which all families can flourish and to create jobs
through investment by business and loans by banks.
We should double the number of empowerment zones.
They've already brought so much hope to communities like Detroit,
where the unemployment rate has been cut in half in four years. We
should restore contaminated urban land and buildings to productive
use. We should expand the network of community development banks.
And together we must pledge tonight that we will use this empowerment
approach - including private sector tax incentives - to renew our
Capital City, so that Washington is a great place to work and live,
and once again the proud face America shows to world. (Applause.)
We must protect our environment in every community. In
the last four years, we cleaned up 250 toxic waste sites, as many as
in the previous 1 2. Now, we should clean up 5 0 0 more, so that our
children grow up next to parks, not poison. I urge you to pass my
proposal to make big polluters live by a simple rule: If you pollute
our environment, you should pay to clean it up.
(Applause.)
In the last four years, we strengthened our nation's
safe food and clean drinking water laws; we protected some of
America's rarest, most beautiful land in Utah's Red Rocks region;
created three new national parks in the California desert; and began
to restore the Florida Everglades. Now we must be as vigilant w i t h
our rivers as we are w i t h our lands. Tonight, I announce that this
year I will designate 10 American Heritage Rivers, to help
communities alongside them revitalize their waterfronts and clean up
pollution in the rivers, proving once again that we can grow the
economy as we protect the environment. (Applause.)
�We must also protect our global environment, working to
ban the worst toxic chemicals and to reduce the greenhouse gases that
challenge our health even as they change our climate.
Now, we all know that in all of our communities, some of
our children simply don't have what they need to grow and learn in
their o w n homes, or schools or neighborhoods. And that means the
rest of us must do more, for they are our children, too. That's w h y
President Bush, General Colin Powell, former Housing Secretary Henry
Cisneros will join the Vice President and me to lead the President's
Summit of Service in Philadelphia in April.
Our national service program, AmeriCorps, has already
helped 7 0 , 0 0 0 young people to work their way through college as they
serve America. Now we intend to mobilize millions of Americans to
serve in thousands of ways. Citizen service is an American
responsibility which all Americans should embrace, and I ask your
support for that endeavor. (Applause.)
I'd like to make just one last point about our national
community. Our economy is measured in numbers and statistics, and
it's very important. But the enduring worth of our nation lies in
our shared values and our soaring spirit. So instead of cutting back
on our modest efforts to support the arts and humanities, I believe
we should stand by them and challenge our artists, musicians, and
writers -- (applause) -- challenge our museums, libraries and
theaters -- (applause) -- we should -- we should challenge all
Americans in the arts and humanities to join with our fellow citizens
to make the year 2 0 0 0 a national celebration of the American spirit
in every community -- a celebration of our common culture in the
century that has passed, and in the new one to come in a new
millennium, so that we can remain the world's beacon not only of
liberty, but of creativity, long after the fireworks have faded.
To prepare America for the 21st century we must master
the forces of change in the world and keep American leadership strong
and sure for an uncharted time.
Fifty years ago, a farsighted America led in creating
the institutions that secured victory in the Cold War and built a
growing world economy. As a result, today more people than ever
embrace our ideals and share our interests. Already, we have
dismantled many of the blocs and barriers that divided our parents'
world. For the first time, more people live under democracy than
dictatorship, including every nation in our o w n hemisphere, but one
-- and its day, too, will come.
(Applause.)
Now, we stand at another moment of change and choice
--and another time to be farsighted, to bring America 50 more years
of security and prosperity. In this endeavor, our first task is to
help to build, for the.first time, an undivided, democratic Europe.
When Europe is stable, prosperous and at peace, America is more
secure.
�To that end, we must expand NATO by 1999, so that
countries that were once our adversaries can become our allies. At
the special NATO summit this summer, that is what we will begin to
do. We must strengthen NATO's Partnership for Peace with non-member
allies. And we must build a stable partnership between NATO and a
democratic Russia. (Applause.) An expanded NATO is good for
America. And a Europe in which all democracies define their future
not in terms of what they can do to each other, but in terms of what
they can do together for the good of all - that kind of Europe is
good for America.
Second, America must look to the East no less than to
the West. Our security demands it. Americans fought three wars in
Asia in this century. Our prosperity requires it. More than t w o
million American jobs depend upon trade with Asia.
There, too, we are helping to shape an Asian Pacific
community of cooperation, not conflict. Let our progress there not
mask the peril that remains. Together with South Korea, we must
advance peace talks with North Korea and bridge the Cold War's last
divide. And I call on Congress to fund our share of the agreement
under which North Korea must continue to freeze and then dismantle
its nuclear weapons program. (Applause.)
We must pursue a deeper dialogue with China - for the
sake of our interests and our ideals. An isolated China is not good
for America. A China playing its proper role in the world is. I
will go to China, and I have invited China's President to come here,
not because we agree on everything, but because engaging China is the
best way to work on our common challenges like ending nuclear
testing, and to deal frankly with our fundamental differences like
human rights. (Applause.)
The American people must prosper in the global economy.
We've worked hard to tear down trade barriers abroad so that we can
create good jobs at home. I am proud to say that today, America is
once again the most competitive nation and the number one exporter in
the w o r l d . (Applause.)
Now we must act to expand our exports, especially to
Asia and Latin America - t w o of the fastest growing regions on Earth
- or be left behind as these emerging economies forge new ties w i t h
other nations. That is w h y we need the authority now to conclude new
trade agreements that open markets to our goods and services even as
we preserve our values. (Applause.)
We need not shrink form the challenge of the global
economy. After all, we have the best workers and the best products.
In a truly open market, we can out-compete anyone, anywhere on Earth.
But this is about more than economics. By expanding
�trade, we can advance the cause of freedom and democracy around the
world. There is no better example of this truth than Latin America
where democracy and open markets are on the march together. That is
w h y I will visit there in the spring to reinforce our important tie.
We should all be proud that America led the effort to
rescue our neighbor, Mexico, from its economic crises. And we should
all be proud that last month Mexico repaid the United States -- three
full years ahead of schedule -- with half a billion dollar profit to
us. (Applause.)
America must continue to be an unrelenting force for
peace — from the Middle East to Haiti, from Northern Ireland to
Africa. Taking reasonable risks for peace keeps us from being drawn
into far more costly conflicts later.
With American leadership, the killing has stopped in
Bosnia. Now the habits of peace must take hold. The new NATO force
will allow reconstruction and reconciliation to accelerate. Tonight,
I ask Congress to continue its strong support for our troops. They
are doing a remarkable job there for America, and America must do
right by t h e m . (Applause.)
Fifth, we must move strongly against new threats to our
security. In the past four years, we agreed to ban -- we led the way
to a worldwide agreement to ban nuclear testing. With Russia, we
dramatically cut nuclear arsenals and we stopped targeting each
others citizens. We are acting to prevent nuclear materials from
falling into the wrong hands and to rid the world of land mines.
(Applause.) We are working with other nations with renewed intensity
to fight drug traffickers and to stop terrorists before they act, and
hold them fully accountable if they do. (Applause.)
Now, we must rise to a new test of leadership:
ratifying the Chemical Weapons Convention. (Applause.) Make no
mistake about it, it will make our troops safer from chemical attack;
it will help us to fight terrorism. We have no more important
obligations -- especially in the wake of what we now know about the
Gulf War. This treaty has been bipartisan from the beginning -supported by Republican and Democratic administrations and Republican
and Democratic members of Congress -- and already approved by 68
nations.
But if we do not act by April the 29th -- when this
Convention goes into force, with or without us -- we will lose the
chance to have Americans leading and enforcing this effort. Together
we must make the Chemical Weapons Convention law, so that at last we
can begin to outlaw poison gas from the Earth. (Applause.)
Finally, we must have the tools to meet all these
challenges. We must maintain a strong and ready military. We must
increase funding for weapons modernization by the year 2 0 0 0 , and we
must take good care of our men and women in uniform. They are the
world's finest. (Applause.)
�We must also renew our commitment to America's
diplomacy, and pay our debts and dues to international financial
institutions like the World Bank, and to a reforming United Nations.
(Applause.) Every dollar we devote to preventing conflicts, to
promoting democracy, to stopping the spread of disease and
starvation, brings a sure return in security and savings. Yet
international affairs spending today is just one percent of the
federal budget -- a small fraction of what America invested in
diplomacy to choose leadership over escapism at the start of the Cold
War. If America is to continue to lead the world, we here w h o lead
America simply must find the will to pay our way.
A farsighted America moved the world to a better place
over these last 5 0 years. And so it can be for another 50 years.
But a shortsighted America will soon find its words falling on deaf
ears all around the world. (Applause.)
Almost exactly 50 years ago, in the first winter of the
Cold War, President Truman stood before a Republican Congress and
called upon our country to meet its responsibilities of leadership.
This was his warning -- he said, "If we falter, we may endanger the
peace of the world, and we shall surely endanger the welfare of this
nation." That Congress, led by Republicans like Senator Arthur
Vandenberg, answered President Truman's call. Together, they made
the commitments that strengthened our country for 50 years.
Now let us do the same. Let us do what it takes to
remain the indispensable nation -- to keep America strong, secure and
prosperous for another 50 years. (Applause.)
In the end, more than anything else, our world
leadership grows out of the power of our example here at home, out of
our ability to remain strong as one America.
All over the world, people are being torn asunder by
racial, ethnic, and religious conflicts that fuel fanaticism and
terror. We are the world's most diverse democracy, and the world
looks to us to show that it is possible to live and advance together
across those kinds of differences.
America has always been a nation of immigrants. From
the start, a steady stream of people, in search of freedom and
opportunity, have left their o w n lands to make this land their home.
We started as an experiment in democracy fueled by Europeans. We
have g r o w n into an experiment in democratic diversity fueled by
openness and promise.
My fellow Americans, we must never, ever believe that
our diversity is a weakness -- it is our greatest strength.
(Applause.) Americans speak every language, know every county.
People on every continent can look to us and see the reflection of
�their o w n great potential -- and they always will, as long as we
strive to give all of our citizens, whatever their background, an
opportunity to achieve their o w n greatness.
We're not there yet. We still see evidence of abiding
bigotry and intolerance, in ugly words and awful violence, in burned
churches and bombed buildings. We must fight against this, in our
country and in our hearts.
Just a f e w days before my second Inauguration, one of
country's best k n o w n pastors, Reverend Robert Schuller, suggested
that I read Isaiah 5 8 : 1 2 . Here's what it says: "Thou shall raise up
the foundations of many generations, and thou shalt be called, the
repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in." I placed
my hand on that verse when I took the oath of office, on behalf of
all Americans. For no matter what our differences -- in our faiths,
our backgrounds, our politics -- we must all be repairers of the
breach.
I want to say a word about t w o other Americans who show
us how. Congressman Frank Tejeda was buried yesterday, a proud
American whose family came from Mexico. He was only 51 years old.
He was awarded the Silver Star, the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart,
fighting for his country in Vietnam. And he went on to serve Texas
and America fighting for our future in this chamber. We are grateful
for his service and honored that his mother, Lillie Tejeda, and his
sister, Mary Alice, have come from Texas to be with us here tonight.
And we welcome you. (Applause.)
Gary Locke, the newly elected Governor of Washington
State, is the first Chinese-American governor in the history of our
country. He's the proud son of t w o of the millions of Asian-American
immigrants w h o have strengthened America w i t h their hard work, family
values and good citizenship. He represents the future we can all
achieve. Thank you, Governor, for being here. Please stand up.
(Applause.)
Reverend Schuller, Congressman Tejeda, Governor Locke,
along w i t h Kristin Tanner and Chris Getsla, Sue Winski and Dr.
Kristen Zarfos - they're all Americans from different roots, whose
lives reflect the best of what we can become when we are one America.
We may not share a common past, but we surely do share a common
future.
Building one America is our most important mission "the foundation for many generations," of every other strength we
must build for this new century. Money cannot buy it. Power cannot
compel it. Technology cannot create it. It can only come from the
human spirit.
America is far more than a place. It is an idea, the
most powerful idea in the history of nations. And all of us in this
�chamber, we are now the bearers of that idea, leading a great people
into a new w o r l d . A child born tonight will have almost no memory of
the 20th century. Everything that child will know about America will
be because of what we do now to build a new century.
We don't have a moment to waste. Tomorrow there will be
just over 1,000 days until the year 2 0 0 0 . One thousand days to
prepare our people. One thousand days to work together. One
thousand days to build a bridge to a land of new promise. My fellow
Americans, we have work to do. Let us seize those days and the
century.
Thank you, God bless you and God bless America.
(Applause.)

Hi Mike,
Following is this draft. I've basically revamped our old form letter (it was much more general and

the Union address, the Inaugural address, and his 2/8 Radio address. Please let me know what you

DRAFT
Thank you for sharing your thoughts about education in America.
As we prepare to face the challenges of the next century, our
commitment to education must remain strong. Ensuring that every
American has the best education in the world is the number one
priority of my second term. We must work together to ensure that
every 8-year-old is able to read; every 12-year-old is able to
log on to the Internet; every 18-year-old is able to go to
college; and every adult American is able to keep on learning for
a lifetime. My 1998 balanced budget proposal commits an
unprecedented $51 billion to these goals.
I firmly believe that the purpose of education is to expand
opportunities and to give our children the tools they need to
make the most of their God-given potential. That is w h y my plan
calls for world-class standards for students, teachers and
schools, expanding Head Start, rebuilding crumbling schools,
emphasizing character education, giving parents the power to
choose the right public school for their children, opening the
doors of college wider than ever before, and ensuring that
workers can learn and earn for a lifetime. To give our children
the best education we must help them to harness the powerful
forces of technology. Every student, from those in the most
isolated rural t o w n s to those in the poorest inner-city schools,
must have the same access to the vast universe of knowledge
available on the Internet.
Government must work in partnership with educators,
administrators, community leaders, and parents to achieve these
goals. Our success in boosting wages and strengthening our
nation's economy depends on the skill and education of our
people. The work we are doing now is a valuable investment in
�the future of our country.
I appreciate knowing your views as we continue our efforts to

Dear John:
Thank you f o r sharing your thoughts about education i n

I am pleased that our nation's commitment t o education has

and I am glad that my commitment t o renewing educational
o p p o r t u n i t i e s a t a l l l e v e l s i s supported i n the f i s c a l 1997
appropriations. Congress has restored c r i t i c a l educational
programs a t a l e v e l t h a t i s 15 percent greater than t h a t of
f i s c a l 1996. The r e s u l t i s a plan f o r f i s c a l 1997 t h a t continues
our work t o improve education, while keeping the d e f i c i t on a
downward path.
Government must work i n partnership w i t h educators,
administrators, community leaders, and parents t o set tough
academic standards and encourage l i f e l o n g l e a r n i n g f o r a l l
Americans. Our success i n boosting wages and strengthening
our nation's economy depends on the s k i l l and education of our
people. The work we are doing now i s a valuable investment i n

I appreciate knowing your views as we continue our e f f o r t s

Thank you f o r sharing your thoughts about education i n
America.
Our country faces d i f f i c u l t choices i n the months ahead as
we work t o p u t our f i s c a l house i n order. But our commitment t o
education must stand absolutely f i r m . Education i s the key t o
success i n today's economy, and I s t r o n g l y disagree w i t h those
in Congress who seek t o balance the budget by c u t t i n g support f o r
education and t r a i n i n g i n i t i a t i v e s .

Americans. Our success i n boosting wages and strengthening

IMPACT AID form l e t t e r
Thank you f o r your sharing your
Aid program.
r
oughts about the Impact
Impact A i d i s an important /source of basic education funding
f o r many school d i s t r i c t s acrosi the country. While improvements
were made t o the program i n t h e j r e a u t h o r i z a t i o n o f the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act, they do not go f a r enough toward the
reform t h a t Secretary of Education Riley and I have proposed.
The r e a u t h o r i z a t i o n continues Impact A i d payments t o school
d i s t r i c t s on behalf of c h i l d r e n whose f a m i l i e s already pay the
s t a t e and l o c a l taxes necessary t o finance t h e i r education. This
a c t i o n does not r e f l e c t the urgent need t o streamline the program
and t o reduce the federal budget d e f i c i t , a top p r i o r i t y f o r my
knistration.
/.TCfiAidU^ «€ wU-fitr DM ff tptrh iiuKdL-S thAd* * ^6
Additionally, Congress continued payments to school
districts from which th; federal government has removed a portion
"of the taxable property,, The National Performance Review
recommended the elimination of this aspect of the Impact
Aid Program, a recommendation I support. Only school districts
that are truly deprived of substantial revenue as a result of
federal activity should continue to receive compensation through
Impact Aid payments on behalf of children whose parents both work
and live on federal property^;^
*or M l f f f l t«
I hope you w i l l support my e f f o r t s t o improve the management
and e f f e c t i v e n e s s of f e d e r a l education programs. Your

Thank you f o r sharing your thoughts about funding f o r
student 1-oan programs. I appreciate your concern about recent
proposals t h a t t h r e a t e n t o erode f i n a n c i a l a i d b e n e f i t s .
My A d m i n i s t r a t i o n i s committed t o making college education
accessible t o American students and t h e i r f a m i l i e s . Through the
National and Community Service Act, P e l l Grants, work-study and
competitive grant programs, and the new Federal Direct Student
Loan Program, we are p r o v i d i n g e f f e c t i v e f i n a n c i a l support t o
e l i g i b l e students across the country.
I am working hard t o protect the in-school i n t e r e s t subsidy,
the Federal TRIO programs, and the many other i n i t i a t i v e s t h a t
have empowered so many American students. I n a d d i t i o n , my
A d m i n i s t r a t i o n supports s u b s t a n t i a l increases i n the maximum P e l l
Grant award and an increase over 1995 l e v e l s i n funds a v a i l a b l e
f o r grants, loans, and work-study o p p o r t u n i t i e s .
As we work t o make the dream of a college education a
r e a l i t y f o r more Americans, I look forward t o your continued'
involvement.

LETTER
Julia:
Following are some suggestions for the l e t t e r :
Paragraph One
....But our commitment to education must remain absolutely firm.
Education i s the key to success in the new economy and I strongly
disagree with those in Congress who seek to balance the budget by
cutting support for high-quality schools and training i n i t i a t i v e s .
Paragraph
Two
My education reform agenda i s founded on the belief that
government must work in partnership with educators,
administrators, community leaders and parents to set world-class
standards and encourage lifelong learning for a l l Americans.
We
can be a high-growth, high-wage nation only i f we aire an educated
and h i g h - s k i l l s nation. An investment in education i s indeed a
valuable invesment for the future of our country.
HOPE THIS IS USEFUL!!

our transit systems, in high-speed railways,
and high-tech information systems. And it
provides the most ambitious environmental
cleanup in partnership with State and local
government of our time, to put people to
work and to preserve the environment for
our future.
Standing as we are on the edge of a new
century, we know that economic growth depends as never before on opening up new
markets overseas and expanaing the volume
of world trade. And so, we will insist on fair
trade rules in international markets as a part
of a national economic strategy to expand
trade, including the successful completion of
the latest round of world trade talks and the
successful completion of a North American
Free Trade Agreement, with appropriate
safeguards for our workers and for the environment.
At the same time—and I say this to you
in both parties and across America tonight,
all the people who are listening—it is not
enough to pass a budget or even to have a
trade agreement. This world is changing so
fast that we must have aggressive, targeted
attempts to create the high-wage jobs of the
future. That's what all our competitors are
doing. We must give special attention to
those critical industries that are going to explode in the 21st century but that are in trouble in America today, like aerospace. We
must provide special assistance to areas and
to workers displaced by cuts in the defense
budget and by other unavoidable economic
dislocations.
And again I will say we must do this together. I pledge to you that I will do my best
to see that business and labor and Government work together for a change.
But all of our efforts to strengthen the
economy will fail—let me say this again; I
feel so strongly about this—all of our efTorts
'to strengthen the economy will fail unless we
also take this yeai\not next year, not 5 years
from now but t j ^ ^ a r , bold steps to reform

change the present pattern, 50 percent of the
growth in tne deficit between now and the
year 2000 will be in health care costs. By
the year 2000 almost 20 percent of our income will be in health care. Our families will
never be secure, our businesses will never
be strong, and our Government will never
again be fully solvent until we tackle the
health care crisis. We must do it this year.
The combination of the rising cost of care
and the lack of care and the fear of losing
care are endangering the security and the
very lives of millions of our people. And they
are weakening our economy every day. Reducing health care costs can liberate literally
hundreds of billions of dollars for new investment in growth and jobs. Bringing health
costs in line with inflation would do more
for the private sector in this country than any
tax cut we could give and any spending program we could promote. Reforming health
care over the long run is critically essential
to reducing not only our deficit but to expanding investment in America.
Later this spring, after the First Lady and
the many good people who are helping her
all across the country complete their work,
I will deliver to Congress a comprehensive
Dlan for health care reform that finally will
iring costs under control and provide security to all of our families, so that no one will
be denied the coverage they need but so that
our economic future will not be compromised either. We'll have to root out fraud
and overcharges and make sure that paperwork no longer chokes your doctor. We'll
have to maintain the highest American standards and the right to choose in a system that
is the world's finest for all those who can
access it. But first we must make choices.
We must choose to give the American people
the quality they demand and deserve with
a system that will not bankrupt the country
or further drive more Americans into agony.
W(Jj^.
Let me further say that I want to WQJJ
with all of you on this. I realize this is a
plicated issue. But we must address it.
;pubI believe if there is any chance that RepuJT
Administration of William J. Clinton, 1993 I Feb. 17
ing patterns in public or private dollars for
health care for less and less and less every
year. We can do better. And I will work to
do better.
Perhaps the most fundamental change the
new direction I propose offers is its focus
on the future and its investment which I seek
in our children. Each day we delay really
making a commitment to our children carries
a dear cost. Half of the 2-year-olds in this
countiy today don't receive the immunizations they need against deadly diseases. Our
plan will provide them for every eligible
child. And we know now that we will save
$10 later for every $1 we spend by eliminating preventable childhood diseases. That's a
good investment no matter how you measure
it.
I recommend that the women, infants, and
children's nutrition program be expanded so
that every expectant mother who needs the
help gets it. We all know that Head Start,
a program that prepares children for school,
is a success story. We all know that it saves
money, but today it just reaches barely over
one-third of all the eligible children. Under
this plan, every eligible child will be able to
get a head start. This is not just the right
ththg td do; it is the smart thing to do. For
every dollar we invest today we'll save $3 tomorrow. We have to start thinking about tomorrow. I've heard that somewhere before.
[Laughter]
We have to ask more in our schools of our
students, our teachers, bur principals, our
parents. Yes, we must give them the resources they need to meet high standards,
but we must also use the autHority and the
influence and the funding of the Education
Department to promote strategies that really
work in learning. Money alone is not enough.
We have to do what really works to increase
learning in our schools.
We have to recognize that all of our high
school graduates need some further education in order to be competitive in this global economy. So we have to establish a partnership between businesses and education

are not doing enough.
Because I've spent so much of my l i f e over the l a s t decade worlcing
on education, i wish we had time to t a l k about every aspect of i t
today. But today I have to confine myself to ^h.a.tL.I^^U_52£«L^^®__,.
President and the national government could do otherwise we won't
be out of here u n t i l " lunchtime and you' 11 be sorry I came.
America needs an education president who shows up for c l a s s
everyday, not j u s t once every four years. In the f i r s t 100 days
of my administration, I ' l l give Congress and the American people a
real education r^foira package. I ' l l work day and night to get i t
passed,' unlike our "eurrent'President who often proposes and then
leaves i t to someone e l s e to dispose or not to act at a l l .

wnetner they study or not, graduates people whether they know
anything cr not, and dumps people into the work force whether they
r.ave the s k i l l s i t takes to succeed or not, and that i s wrong.
::
::
W nust develop a meaningful n a t i o n a l examination system, not one
e
of these so called "norm reference" t e s t s that you give two or
three years and then every American i s making above the national
average and the only people who make out are the people who s e l l
the tests. We need to determine whether our students are meeting
the standards we set and we shouldn't use the national standards
and th? national t e s t simply to measure performance. They should
be used to increase expectations and to give schools incentives
and structures "to"' improve students performance.
i« f.
I t i s just not true that only our most gifted students can do
demanding work. Our competitors a l l around the world know that
effort, n o t a b i l i t y , makes the biggest difference in educational
achievement. That i s the r e a l l e s s o n of the outstanding
achievements achieved in inner c i t y poor -nd r u r a l schuois by
rsmarkabie teachers. I t i s the l e s s o n of the wonderful movie
"Stand and Deliver," s e t here i n Los Angeles, i n which Edward

at Garfield High School, here i n L.A., led the nation i n passing

My wife and daughter and I have watched that movie together
a lot
of times. Every -few months my daughter
asks me to go rent
it
again. I asked many members of my administration
to go and see the
movie when it came out. And when they would come out of the movie,
I would say, "What was the lesson
of the movie?"
And they would

say, "That guy is an amazing teacher."
I'd say, "No, that's

�- people send u.s a form l e t t e r ; that's d i f f e r e n t . But, I mean,
people that r e a l l y write us. So I would encourage you to do
that.
The second thing I want to do i s to say that I want
to encourage you to continue to hole me and everybody e l s e
accountable and ask the tough questions. I don't think i t was
a l l that easy for that young man to stand up there and ask the
question he asked on abortion because he knew he had a d i f f e r e n t
position that I did, and I was proud of him for doing that, and I
think you should be, too.
(Applause.)
And, believe me, none of us have a l l of the answers.
This i s a new and uncharted time. And I want to encourage you to
continue to believe i n your country and to p a r t i c i p a t e i n t h i s .
Hold our feet to the f i r e , but t r y to make i t a constructive
thing. This i s an exciting time for t h i s country and i t ' s sort
of a make-or-break time, I think, and I'm doing the best I can
and I think you are, too. And i f we keep doing that, I think the
chances are we're going to come out okay.
I think I can say for the other elected o f f i c i a l s
here, I ' l l be you they're pretty proud of t h e i r constituents in
Ohio after t h i s town meeting.
(Applause.)
Q
Mr. President, I'm a 6th grader at Smith Middle
School, and I'm wondering — do any parts of your education plan
deal with children my age?
THE PRESIDENT: Good for you.
(Applause.) Okay.
The answer i s , yes, but most of them don't. And l e t me t e l l you
why — the answer i s yes, they do. We emphasize more funds and
more e f f o r t s i n math and science education, for example. And I
have asked the Congress to give the Education Department some
funds that w i l l enable us to target learning s t r a t e g i e s i n
elementary and junior high and high school that work, and t r y to
get schools to repeat them.
Do you know that every problem i n American education
has been solved by somebody, somewhere? I mean, t h i s i s not l i k e
looking for a cure for some disease we haven't found a cure for
yet. What we are not good at i n American education i s taking
what works i n one place and putting i t i n place another. So the
two major things i s , we're trying to repeat education strategies
that have given young people i n the s i x t h grade~great performance
i n some places, we want to t r y to put them in a l l the schools i n
the country. And, secondly, we're going to make a s p e c i a l effort
on math and science education.
Now, l e t me answer the other question. Most of the
funds that I have recommended i n education, most of the e f f o r t
w i l l be going to t r y to make sure kids get off to an equal s t a r t
in school: f u l l y funding the Head Start program, supporting
schools and t h e i r preschool programs, trying to make sure that
c h i l d n u t r i t i o n and c h i l d health care i s good. And then when
children leave school, trying to make sure that they have a
vocational program, a job t r a i n i n g program, a college program to
go to.
Why? Because over 90 percent of the cost of the
public schools, kindergarten through 12th grade, comes from the

Subject: Greetings Policy
Hello. Seeing as how I am very new to the Greetings Office, I wanted to run a thought by you and get
your feedback/have you fill me in on the history of the policy.
Probably about six months ago I learned of the Greetings Office policy regarding same sex marriages.
Unfortunately it wasn't my place to do anything more than express my opinion at the time. The front desk
volunteer today brought me an invitation mailed in to the President from two women for their commitment
ceremony. I've learned that when an invitation comes in from a same sex couple the volunteers put it in a
question box which staff go through. In the past, staff members have kept a file of these requests;
however, no greeting is sent, nor is the couple responded to in any way.
I'm hoping you can fill me in on the history behind the formulation of this policy. I've checked with Shivaun
and she is not sure of how the policy came to be either. It seems that it was perhaps formed quite a while
ago and passed on to successive staff members, but a detailed understanding of the "why" of it was lost
along the way. I'd like to explain to you why I think the policy should be changed.
First - it is my understanding that the President is committed to "ideally" responding to every piece of mail
that comes in to the White House. In other circumstances, if we are unable to fulfill a greeting request, we
have a form letter we send explaining why they will not be receiving their card. I understand perhaps this
is a little more sensitive than the fact that we only send birthday cards to persons 80 years or older, and I
really can't imagine creating a form letter explaining why we won't send the couple a congratulations
greeting, but that leads me to the next reason why I think the policy is wrong...
I think a greeting should be sent. I understand that it is not my beliefs that should determine what type of
cards are sent, as they come from the President, but I think sending a card would fit in with this
Administration's policies. He did sign the DOMA, and therefore we would not be able to send the wedding
�greeting. However, the couples send in invitations to a ceremony they have established to recognize their
committment to one another. They are not asking for a card congratulating them on their "legal marriage
ceremony." Perhaps I'm playing with semantics, but I don't think some sort of recognition of this is too
much to ask for. We have a greeting card for practically every other event. I think sending out the Special
Day card would be appropriate. It reads:
Hillary and I are delighted to join your family and friends in sending congratulations as you
celebrate this special
occasion. Best wishes for much continued happiness.
This would not have to be a huge policy change we would need to announce to all the Greetings
volunteers, as I know some of them may have different beliefs, but could be something one of the front
desk volunteers take care of.
So...please feel free to tell me if I am overstepping my bounds here. :) Perhaps I'm allowing my personal
beliefs to guide me a bit too much, but I figure it couldn't hurt to at least bring the subject up with you both.
Thanks for listening.

YEAH - I'm very happy. When I was out yesterday afternoon Shivaun took a call from Meredith Cabe.
She said that Counsel's has no problem, from a legal perspective, with us changing the policy and
sending out the Special Day card to same-sex couples for their commitment ceremonies. She said she
didn't know how the policy came about in the first place or any involvement they had, but as far as they're
concerned, it's not a problem.
So, where do we go from here? Do we need to talk to other people? Implement it?
She also had me call Terry Good to take care of the boxes of transition info.

White House Rejects
Same-Sex Marriages
Clinton's Gay Constituency Angry
WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, Sept.
21) — President Clinton chose the
small hours of Saturday to sign a
bill denying federal recognition of
same-sex marriages, and the stealth
treatment was no mistake.
It is not a great political issue for
Clinton, and his decision to sign the
bill is angering his loyal gay
constituency.
There was no attempt to call attention to the signing because
the president believes the lawmakers who sponsored it had
"dubious" motives, according to White House press secretary
Mike McCurry.
Clinton has long been on record as saying he would sign the
bill into law, even though he has charged that many of its
supporters were just seeking a way to bash gays and lesbians.
Members of the homosexual community
already promise a constitutional challenge
of the new law, and they charge that
Republicans picked this time to raise the
issue in order to get the most political
impact. The bill's sponsor said just the
opposite was true.
"It wasn't really on our agenda at all at the beginning of the
year — it was forced on us by the homosexual extremists," said
Republican Rep. Bob Barr of Georgia.
Opponents of the new law say Clinton is wading "into the mud
with Bob Dole on this issue."

"We believe what the President has done
is very shameful," said David Smith of the
Human Rights Campaign. "What he has
done is instituted a law, put his name on a
law, that creates a second-class status for
gay people."
The law leaves it up to each state to decide
whether to recognize same-sex marriages.

CLINTON AGAINST SAME-GENDER MARRIAGES
Both Reuters and Associated Press newswire services have run national stories on the
anti-same-gender marriage legislation recently introduced in Congress. Since the Defense of
Marriage Act began working its way through the House and Senate, President Clinton, through his
spokespeople, has stated he personally opposes "gay marriages." Spokesperson Mike McCurry
said, "He (Clinton) believes that this is a time where we need to do things to strengthen the
American family."
It is expected that President Clinton will sign the legislation defining marriage as only between a
man and a woman if it reaches his desk.

LGBT community members call Clinton a
hypocrite
by Tara Wood
Daily Staff Writer
With President Bill Clinton's extramarital affair having been exposed to the public, some members of the
gay community felt angry at what they called the hypocrisy of the situation.
In 1995, President Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), outlawing gay marriage. Some
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender members said this is not consistent with the president's own
actions.
"If you want to support a bill that defines marriage as strictly heterosexual and monogamous, you gotta
stick to that," said Tom VanWaardhuizen, junior in English. "And clearly [Clinton] hasn't done that."
Angie Chipman, president of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Ally Alliance, said Clinton's
actions have been conflicting, but they do not surprise her.
"In every community, you run into specific people who can't follow their own set of values that they
tend to preach," Chipman said.
"People who were going for [DOMA], saying [gay marriage] ruins values and morals ... A lot of time
you find in their lives, they themselves have not led the lives they're trying to defend," she said.
Chipman said Clinton is sending mixed messages to the country.
" I think Clinton trying to speak moral values while breaking them sends a good message of the
hypocritical nature of our society," Chipman said.
Jeff Sorensen, system analyst for Iowa State, said no connection exists between Clinton's infidelity and
DOMA.
Sorensen said the signing of DOMA was a concession that Clinton had to make for political reasons.
Sorensen said he sees Clinton's signing of DOMA as "a weak thing to do," but he said he still considers
him an ally of homosexuals.
" I see President Clinton as willing to take baby steps," Sorensen said. "That's more than any other
president."
Sorensen said he believes Clinton's affairs are private issues.
"This is an issue between [Clinton] and his wife, not an issue as far as the public is concerned," he said.
Van Waardhuizen said Clinton's signing of DOMA sent more of a social and political message than a
legal one.
"When you see a Democrat agreeing with a more conservative [ideal], it shifts public opinion," he said.
"The political system determines the focus; party politics are running public opinion," Van Waardhuizen
said.
He also agreed that Clinton's recent problems undermine the legality of DOMA.
"When [the public] gets conflicting ideals and lifestyles [from policy makers], signals get crossed, and it

President Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) into law on September 21, 1996. The Act declared that no state shall be required to recognize a same-gender marriage performed in another state. DOMA also defined marriage as only between a man and a woman for purposes of Federal law. This collection consists of files and email accounts from the White House staff related to The Defense of Marriage Act. The collection also contains records related to Hawaii Supreme Court’s Baehrs vs. Lewin, and California’s Proposition 22. The collection consists of clippings, emails, letters, memoranda, notes, press releases, and talking points concerning DOMA, same sex marriage, and domestic partnerships.
