Dear Ms. Rasco,
I had the pleasure of meeting you several years ago at a meeting held by the President's
Committee on Mental Retardation. You gave dosing remarks at the conference and Mr. Alun
Bergman made the introduction. As participants we· had just completed two very exciting days of
developing recommendations Jlbout employment, housing, family support, and education for
persons with mental retardation. As the parent of a young women with autism and mental
retardation, I felt extremely honored at having been invited to attend and participate during this
event, particularly when given the opportunity to meet and gather with other family members, self
advocates, policy makers, a~d professionals. I was more enlightened when you shared your
personal account and the strides the administration was attempting to make for persons with
mental retardation.
I would like to invite you to speak at the Supported Employment Parents Transition and
Technical Assistance Project's National Conference on Transition. We would like to explore your
availability for Friday, Febfuary 14th from 9:00 to 1.0:40 a.m. Our 1997 conference, "Joining
·Forces: Preparing Youth fdr the Future" will be held at the Hyatt Arlington at Key B.ridge,
Arlington, VA. This yea'r three national technical assistance projects, The Supported EmplcJyment
Parents Transition and Technical Assistance (SEPTff A) Project, the Technical Assistance about
Training on the Rehabilitation ACT (TATRA) and·the National Transition Network (NTN) are
joining together to hold this' conference on. tra.nsition.
·
,
We anticipate about SO people will attend this event. Most conference participants will be

We would be delighted ifyou would address NAHSC and TALCS members on
the Clinton Administration's perspective on the law's impact on children and
families at risk and any proposals the Administration may be considering to
ameliorate its potential effects. I'm sure that the approximately 100 executive
directors of child- and family-serving agencies expected to attend will provide
the Administration with useful insights as it shapes policy in the coming year.

Assistant to the President
for Domestic Policy

Washington, DC 20500
Dear Carol,
Congratulations on the President's re-election. I would like to leave assistance in any efforts you ·
might undertake to make sure that child welfare issues reach the national agenda during the next
Administration. The recent finding that child abuse and neglect reports have doubled in the
United States since 1986 is very troubling and I am surprised it has gotten so little public
attention.
I ~ writing to ask for yow 11elp~ I. am wondering whether it might be possible. to have a
representative from the Admi.nistratiori.c.ome and help us .with. the· dedication our new Center
for Child Protection that is a joint venture between Duke University, University ofNorth
Carolina, North Carolina Central University, and the Orange and Durham counties in North
Carolina; We have opened our doors for "shake-down" period and are anticipating a formal
dedication the week of February 10-14, 1997. Would it be appropriate and possible to have a
representative for the Administration come and help us with the inauguration of the new Center?
The Center might provide a pulpit for discussion of child welfare issues at the nation level and it
certainly would help us achieve major recognition in our region; The preferred date would be
February 11, 1997, with an alternate date of February 14, }997, with some flexibility of
scheduling some other day di.rring the same week. We anticipate inviting the Governor and other
state and local officials.
of
I will take your lead as to who, in the Administration, would be best to represent this issue. It
would be fabulous if either the.PresidentorJhe First Lady c~uld be in attendance, but we wouid
als~ be excited ~bout V~e-P~at Goce or oth~r sen~ ·officials.· The President has appeared
here at the University ofNorth Carolina before much of the advance work that might be
necessary has already been done. ·
�\
•
I think you have seen a description of our Center before. Briefly, we are combining the medical
services from Duke and UNC, along with the mental health services at both institutions and the
Family Law Clinic at North Carolina Central University. We also anticipate training students
and professionals in a wide variety of fields at the Center. In addition to the clinical services, the
Center will be a base for prevention activities arid for research. Our federal grant from the
National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect, titled LONGSCAN, will be housed in the Center.
The Center also is the home for a state wide program ensuring that needed medical and mental
health services are delivered to abused and neglected children in all 100 counties of the state of
North Carolina. Obviously, we are excited about the Center and the partnership ·between the
three Universities. We think that attention eng~ndered by a visit from the President or other high
public official will ht;:lp us achieve the goals of protecting abused and neglected children in the
state ofNorth Carolina.

Dear Ms. Rasco :
Each year for the past 15 years the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops
has hosted a meeting in Washington dealing with social concerns both national and
international. The National Catholic Rural Life Conference(NCRLC), of which I am the·
Executive Director, has hccn a partner in that meeting. The National Catholic Rural T,ifc
Conference was founded in 1923. We provide the Catholic Church's focus on rural
pastoral and social issues. We have a stnlcture which provides a mrallife director in each
Catholic diocese. Our Board of Directors is headed by Bishop William Skystad, who is
also the Chair of the Domestic Policy Committee of the Bishops' Conference. There are
usually 400 participants who attend this annual meeting. Prior to the meeting NCRT .C
structures meetings for our rural members which carry lhe overalllheme for lhe rural .
sector. This year our general theme is economic development. Our rural theme will focus
on sustainable communities in a global economy. We are planning to have our rural session
on Saturday, Febmary 22,· 1996. I would like you to speak from 1:30 to 2:30pm. Our
meeting is at the Holiday Inn on the Hill. Last year Calvin Reale graced us with his
presence. This year I want to invite you to speak lo our members. We generally have
participants come to our session from across the United States. These would be leadership
people from the various dioceses. I was at the rural development meeting which was held at
USDA last year just after our annual meeting. I am one of the participants included in the
recently puhlishcd report of that meeting. We arc vitally concerned of course, ahout rural
development, especially given lhe ongoing shifls laking place in lhe rural economy. I arh
hoping that you can give a perspective on rural development that speaks to a concern for the
dramatic shifts taking place through block grants, budget cuts, welfare shifts, the new farm
bill, and other trends affectii1g rural America. Your perspective from within the White
House will he an important perspective to hring to our people. Hopefully you can
encourage our membership lo identify and participate in lhe ()pporlunities being developed
in the rural sector.
Last year we met with Secretary Glickman. and are probably planning to do so
again. We also structure in other meetings around the hill for our members.
I appreciate your consideration oflhis invilalion.
It comes with my own personal best wishes.
Sincerely,
Brother David Andrews,CSC

Creating Communities of Healing and Creativity in Rural America
The National Catholic Rural J.ifc Conference is planning a series of conferences seeking to strengthen
local leadership, local people and local resources in order tu develop sustainable local communities fur
the 21st Century.
·
We anticipate significant fall-out from the effects of govemment changes in welfare, the fann bill and
agriculture in rural communities. We appreciate that renewal movements arc underway in some
localities tu care fur creation and community. We seek tu provide a softer landing fur some and
increased capacity for vitality and renewal in regions with rural areas and small towns.
We have a tradition at NCRLC of developing support for local communities and in advocating
programs of self-help and co-operation, while recognizing the important role that government has at
alllt!vels.
Creating sustainable communities is an urgent priority for the latter half of the 90s given the
problems of rural areas and increasing income gaps between social classes. Rural and urban
communities must restore their own ahilitics to provide adequate opportunities that will sustain·
their residents. The sustainable community development concept intends to demonstrate how a
variety of communities can respond to their own needs with solutions that point to economic
vitality, a healthy environment, concern for the well being 6f all members and approaches which
will retain opportunities for young people. NCRLC announces:
A National Conference and a Series of Regional Conferences to encourage
Sustainable Cominunities

Dear Ms. Rasco,
On behalf of the Institute for Educational Leadership (IEL), I wish to invite you to be the
keynote speaker at the 1997 Education Policy Fellowship Program (EPFP) Washington ·
Policy Seminar, March 19th at 1:00 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt Hotel here in Washington, DC.
If you are not available on the 19th, we would be pleased to have you participate at any
time during the seminar; it will conclude at midday on the 23rd.
IEL is a non-partisan, non-profit organization founded in 1964 and committed to improving
educational opportunities and results for children and youth by developing and supporting
leaders who work together. EPFP is a year-long opportunity for mid-career individuals to
examine leadership and public policy and to increase their capacity to exercise leadership in
a variety of challenging settings. EPFP introduces Fellows to major policy and leadership
·issues and actions at all governance levels and provides a forum for cross-agency
discussions and problem solving: EPFP prepares diverse leaders who can work across
agency and organizational boundaries to generate and implement collaborative solutions to
the problems challenging our education, health and social services systems.
The Washington Policy Seminar is designed to meet two goals: (a) to introduce Fellows to
the processes and personalities that shape national policy; and (b) to provide them with
ample opportunity to analyze and discuss the issues and forces that shape national policy.
We would be extremely pleased to have you as one of our key presenters at this
conference.

Hi Carol: This is Roberta Ross of Southerrn California Transition
Coalition, one of the SWITP sites in CA. Judy Riechle suggested that is
write to you and update you on School to Work Transition Activities in our
neck of the woods.
To refresh your memory, I am the "fat"lady who sat
across from you upon your return from the Placer/Nevada transition team
meeting; we had dinner at the Hyatt in Sacramento.
In L.A. County, with a~l of its bureaucracies, we approach the
recommendations to improve the process of transition for youth with
disabilities a little differenily. We strive for the intimate team
meetings that they have in Placer, but our parent and agency members try to
get systems change through cross training in collaboration and changing
formerly adversarial relationships to ones of understanding and focus on
the consumer.
Recently w~ had a chance to apply for grant funds, with UCLA, from the
Maternal Child Health Bureau. This essentially is to bring health care
providers of services to youth with special health care needs, into the
transition arena.The project is called, "Healthy and Ready to Work" Since
our coalition has become a partner with the East San Gabriel Business,
Education, Community Partnership (we received a federally funded School to
Work Grant) we felt this was an area ripe for collaboration with medical
providers.
By the way, this RFP has you imprint on it; I believe you
probably influenced its development. We are happy to be one of the 7 funded
recipients and as such I,and Dr. Cecily Betz of the UCLA/University Affliat
ed Programs,
will be attending· an Adolescent Network Meeting in Baltimore
on November 19th & 20th and plan to be in Washington on November 21st. I
would like to keep you apprised of our activities.It appears that this
might be a good breakthough, bringing education, labor, social services and
health together through transition of youth.
Another exciting engagement in L.A. has been our attempts to form an
Interagency Service Coordination Institute, training parents and service
providers in the necessary activity of collaboration, reducing duplication,
etc. Our group is made up primarily of L.A. County ~ervice agenci~s, L.A.
County Office of Education, and some non-profits. We changed our name from
the Cast Management Institute because our parent, Kitty Rivet, whom you may
remember from her trip to Washington with the SWITP folks, said thatconsumers did not want to be managed. We are planning to have a full day
training, program, hoping for a minimum of 300 to attend where we stress the
important of collaboration and have team break out sessions where
consumers will have scripted situations that require collaborative
�/
plann·i~'g. We are considering the following dates: 4/9,4/10.4/23,4/24. If
.
you planned to be in L.A. any bf these dates and could speak, that would be
our date.

I know I've been lengthy on this e-mail but I have saved up a lot of info
that I have been meaning to.write. Please don't be put off by my e-mail
