Gary, many thanks for your assistance in securing Glenn Hutchins to be a
speaker at the VSDA annual convention and trade show in Las Vegas on
July 24. We are most pleased to have him with us as a spokesman for the
Administration.
It will probably be a week or two before all the logistics are worked out, but
you will be hearing from Ms. Cheryl Lawson, VSDA Director of Meetings and
Conventions, as soon as plans are finalized with regard to arrangements
and logistics. In the interim, we are making hotel arrangements for Mr.
Hutchins at the Las Vegas Hilton for the nights of July 24 and 25 which we
can adjust depending on his travel date preferences.
If Mr. Hutchins wishes to come to Las Vegas on July 24, we would be
pleased to invite him to our premiere Disney dinner and show that night at
the Hilton. It's really quite an event!
Per your request, VSDA will be pleased to cover air transportation (coach
class) and hotel costs for Mr. Hutchins. It will be necessary that
arrangements and ticketing are made through our travel agency and we can
work with you to establish suitable times for travel.

Gentlemen:
The Blinded Veterans Association (BVA) will hold its 49th National Convention In
Cincinnati at the Omni Netherland Plaza August 23-27, 1994. BVA would like to
extend to President Clinton an invitation to attend our convention and address our
participants.
We understand the magnitude of our offer and realize President Clinton's time is
extremely valuable; however, even though our organization fs small, we are proud
of the work being done for and by blinded veterans and would like to share our
goals and accomplishments with the President. If his schedule does not allow
bringing greetings to our participants in person, the BVA request greetings by way
of a proclamation or a letter and President Clinton's photograph be sent to our
national office to be included in our convention program.
There are 120,000 visually impaired veterans in the United States, of which half are
not aware of the special benefits and services In which they are entitled. It is BVA's
goal to find those 60,000 veterans to make sure they receive the services they have
earned.
The Executive Branch will be represented at our 49th National Convention by the
Honorable Jesse Brown and we look forward to his keynote address. We have
enclosed a brochure and a fact sheet describing the BVA, Its activities and history.
Should you desire additional information, please do not hesitate to contact our
National Office at (202) 371-8880. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Ronald L. Miller, Ph.D.

Dear Ms. Toohey:
This letter is in response to the phone conversation we had earlier. I would like to extend
an invitation to Judith Feder to speak at the American Society for Public Administration's
55th National Training Conference. The Conference will be held in Kansas City, Missouri
from July 23-27. The panel on which Ms. Feder will participate focuses on the various
perspectives of Health Care Reform. We would like Ms. Feder to represent the
government perspective on this panel. The other panelists will represent the insurance
industry and alternatives to President Clinton's plan. There will also be a moderator who
will have a background in academia
The mini-plenary will be held on Monday, July 25, or Tuesday, July 26 in the morning. I f
Ms, Feder has a preference, please let us know. We would like to cover the "big picture"
and want the format to be similar to a think session. There will be three presenters on the
panel and the audience will be approximately 250 -300 people Those in attendance will be
public administrators from all levels of government, non-profit organizations, and
academics.
The Amerrcan Society for l^ublic Administration is dedicated to advancing excellence in
public service. We hope to have Ms. Feder discuss the importance of health care reform
and the role of the public administrator in this refonn. Enclosed is a copy of our
conference brochure. If there are any other questions, please contact me or Cheryl Uram
at my office.
Sincerely,

AriiMi^a-physiciansjviU.hold.itS-99th Annual Meeting and Scientific Assembly fronfJuly-23-'
\28, 1994 in_Orlando,_Florida As_you are aware, tliis organization lias a vital interest in the
process of health care refonn. Our organization has offered commentary both within the initial
processes of delineating aspects of the proposed Health Security Act and subsequently in our
testimony before a variety of Congressional Committees.
Our membership would greatly appreciate your participation with us during our Orlando
meeting. It is therefore, my distinct honor to extend to you an invitation for such participation.
In 1968, then President Lyndon B. Johnson visited with us during our Annual Meeting in
Houston, Texas. That interaction is still viewed as a significant highlight by our members. We
would hope that our current generation of health care providers will also be able to have such
a valued interaction.
Thank you for your consideration of this request. I look forward to hearing from you
in the near future, and I wish you well in all endeavors.
yours,

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
We would like to invite you to be our Dedication speaker for the new
Rhode Island Hospital / Women & Infants Hospital Cooperative Care
Center on Friday, July 22, 1994.
•
This new 74-bed inpatient hospital is a joint venture of both Rhode Island
Hospital and Women & Infants Hospital and is a radically different
approach to the provision of inpatient care. To be admitted, a patient must
be accompanied by a care partner, i.e., family member, friend, neighbor,
etc., who will stay with the patient during their stay and participate in both
the clinical and educational complement of the hospitalization. The facility
has all of the support of an academic medical center, however, it looks
more like a hotel setting. In addition to being what we think is the "ultimate
in patient-focused care", what makes this new facility unique is that it was
constructed at approximately 1/3 less than a traditional hospital and will be
operated at 1/3 less than traditional inpatient facilities.
The Cooperative Care Center is connected by bridge to the new Hasbro
Children's Hospital, which has now be open for three months and has
incorporated many of the elements of the Cooperative Care Center, to
include a "Parents as Partners" philosophy, which encourages parents to
not only stay with their child but literally be a participants in the care of
their child.
We would be extremely grateful to have your presence at the Dedication
of the Cooperative Care Center and feel that it embraces many of the
elements of health care reform that the system desperately needs and that
you are championing.

In 1988, the Interamerican College of Physicians & Surgeons (ICPS) founded the
National Hispanic Youth Initiative in Health, Biomedical Research and Policy
Development Scholars Program (NHYI) in response to the need to increase the
number of Hispanic health professionals, scientists, and policy makers. The thrust
of the NHYI is to prepare, motivate and encourage Hispanic youth to enter the
health sciences and public policy. Since its inception, over 600 high school
students have participated with 99% remaining in the academic pipeline.

I was delighted to have the opportunity to speak to you on
the telephone today. At the Parker Jewish G e r i a t r i c
I n s t i t u t e , we are extremely interested i n shedding some
l i g h t on the v i t a l issue of Health Care Reforni,j and we would ^
very' much l i k e to offer a conunuhity forum on t h i s subject.

array of programs and services.
j
I t has always been our mission not only to serve the elderly
with programs geared to t h e i r needs, but to keep them w e l l JUnfortunately, there seems to be a good deal of confusion
and inaccurate information c i r c u l a t i n g on how the
Presiident's health plan w i l l a f f e c t senior c i t i z e n s .
Conservative direct-mail organizations have apparently
jtargeted the elderly with scare t a c t i c s i n an e f f o r t to
lattack Mr. Clinton's plan.
We believe a community forum at Parker would provide a
valuable s e r v i c e to people i n our area. Many seniors are
confused and worried about what health reform w i l l bring,
and I believe such an event would give the President or Mrs.
Clinton the opportunity to explain t h e i r proposal to older
folks and their families.
We are well aware of the Clintons' busy schedule and would
do our best to receive them on any day that they might be
'available to speak. Of course, we would also welcome a
jsenior Health Care Advisor i f the President and F i r s t Lady

RE:
Speaker Request for 21 July 1994 Luncheon Meeting
Thank you fbr so promptly returning m telephone call earlier this morning regaxding a
y
speaker on the topic of marketing a national health care program.
As I mentioned, I am the co-chairman of the Programs Committee of the Central Ohio
Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America. With more than 300 of our area's
leading communication professionals. PRSA is dedicated to providing the highest quality
informative and professional-development programs for its membership.
Our monthly meetings attract approximately 100 PRSA members and guests. We would
expect a meeting focusing on marketing a national health care program to be very well
attended by PRSA members, and other local health care and insurance industry leaders,
as well as representatives of the media.
Last Januaiy, I contacted Gov. Richard Celeste about addressing our chapter on the
topic of marketing a national health care campaign. Governor Celeste declined our
offer; and referred me to Greg Haas, the campaign's Ohio coordinator, who suggested
our July 16 monthly meeting as the most appropriate date. With the change in
marketing strategy, the Ohio committee has disbanded, and I was referred to John
Christopher Bun at the National Health Campaign. John Christopher has been
extremely hard to contact; however, last Thunday we were able to connect over the
phone, and suggested I contact Dr. Fred McCall-Perez to be our speaker.
PRSA can reimbursefortravel expenses; however, we cannot afford to bring in Dr.
McCall-Perez from Miami at a coat of $830forairfare alone.
An Equal Opportunity Employer
�I realize that you are extremely busy with your May schedule, and July is somewhat of a
low priority. We, on the other hand, are extremely concerned about a securing a speaker
fbr our July 21 luncheon meeting. Ideally, this would be a one-day affair, with our
speakerflyinginto Columbus in the morning, and departing in the afternoon.
I lookforwardto hearing from you. Thanks againforyour prompt reply this moraing,
andforyour help in putting together a dynamite program on this very important issue.

The Drjve for Reform
Equipping You for Change
What Is Driving Healrh Care Rdbrm? It may not be wliat
'unk! i
.c licaltlli care industry, undergoing change for the last
40 years, has! become by some measures the largest sector of
the Americaifi economy. Wc arc now engaged in an intense
heaith care reform debate. Yet, much of die discussion is nor
based on dafo, objective appraisals or the needs of patients.
Worse yet, much of rliis discussion is not even based on how
businesses adtuaUy operate.
If you're dissatisfied with the accuracy of infomution
your company needs to compete and grow. Navigating the
Continuum of Care is for you. This executive Icadersliip
development program is a partnership between the Henry
W. Bloch School of Business and Public Administration ind
major firms jjupplying die health care industry.
These finps arc concerned that information from Tcliablc" source? has often been insufficient to meet dieir
sD-atcgic neeils. Navigating the Continuum of Care is
designed to fddress these needs through improved criiicitl
thinking and) leadership capacity at the executive level.
Program sessions focus on experiential learning, which
combines interaction among faculty and students with
structured learning situations. You'll learn through
roundtable discussions with nationally recognized speakers,
demonstrations, games, group dynamic exercises, a field trip,
opportunities to interact with other participants inside and
outside the classroom, and wriucn exercises.
Most instruction will be provided by nationally recognized experts, including executives from government, the
private sector and academics. Those speakers are important
players in the health care industry, widiout being overexposed on the speakers circuit. Faculty from the Bloch School
will also attend sessions to assure continuity and consistency
in the learning experience. And class size is limited to 40 to
allow total involvement by all participants.
Between the three course sessions, you'll maintain contact
with faculty and otiier participam s through computer
conferencing and networking. In addition, you can stay in
touch with co-workers and family while in class by using the
University's Octel voice-mail sysicm.
This program is sponsored by the Henry W: Hkjch School of Business and Public Administration and
the Health Services Administration Program at jthe L.P. Cookingham Institute within die Bloch
School. The MBA Program'at the school is fujiy accredited by die AACSB, and the MPA Program, by
the NASPAA. The Bloch School provides education, research and training designed to meet the needs
of private industry, government, nonprofit anti ijiealth care organizations.
The,National Center for Managed Health iCare Administration was founded in 1987 to train
senior executives; to confront the complexities ofthe managed care industry. The center continues to
prepare highly motivated individuals from arotujid the world for top-level management positions in
prepaid medical deb very systems. The center has been developed under a grant from the Prime HeaJth
Foundation of Kansas City.

What do you know about healtii care?
He
: some questions on the subject with answers that nnghr surprise you.
Question 1
Answer 1
Which ofthe advanced industrialized
countries is most inejficimt in the provision
of healtii care?
If you answered the U.S., you are wrong. By „
some measures, Switzerland, the Netherlands,
Sweden, and, possibly, Belgium are iess efficient.
Question 2
Answer 2
If an expenditure on health care equal to price multiplied by the quantity ofthe service or commodity
consumed?
If you answered yes, you arc wrong. The simple
price-quantity relation of Economics 101 doesn't
hold in health care. Expenditures on healdi care, are
equal to price multiplied by the quantity consumed
multiplied by die "intensity'" with which the service
is provided. That is, similar healdi care senices can
be prodded using alternative higher or lower cost
providers and/or technologies, e.g. nurses aides
versus RNs versus BSN/RNs versus MSN nurse
clinicians versus plivsicians.

Dear Ms. Flo McAfee.
Our mutualfriend,James Dunn, and 1 have been talking and it appears that we have an
excellent opportunity for an administration spokesperson to present their compelling argument for
universal healthcare to & group of real thought leaders and shapcrs of public opinion.
Could you help us see to it that President Clinton's case for universal coverage is made at
this important gathering, The Sixth Internationa) Conference on Thinking, July 17 through 22,
1994 at MIT in Cambridge.
Hillary Clinton was invited. However, in correspondence just received from Patti Solis,
she has declined because her official schedule will not permit acceptance of the invitation. Is there
someone else who could represent the President, such as, Tipper Gore, Secretary Donna Shalala,
General Jocelyn Elders, Ira Magaziner, Harold Ickes, Senator Jay Rockefeller, Senator Ted
Kennedy?
The topic of health care is one of four major strands of the Conference. Keynoters and
Featured speakers are recognised leaders in thought as it applies to critical thinking and life shaping
decisions. Around the Conference theme, Improving the Quality of Thinking in a Oumging World,
healthcare leaders, Stephen Paulker, Howard Barrows, JocaJyn Uwler and Yoko Nakayama will
lead conference participants in such topics as, decision making by health care professionals and
patients, critical thinking in nursing, and problem-basedjearning in medical and business education.
While the Conference begins on ^ityJ7~and ends July 2 2 j f j » P o f these principal
spokespersons could come at any point during (He uunlferenui, we will make the necessary
accommodations to fit their schedule. Thank you for your consideration and active attempt to help
us all think deeply about this important issue which touches the lives of all Americans. I am
available to answer any questions and provide more information. You can contact me at phone
number and/or FAX listed below.

ACCESS
As the parent of a teenager with multiple disabilities, and the Director of the Alliance for
Tfechnology Access, I am writing to invite you to join a most extraordinary group of people in
Washington at the occasion of our Institute '94. Because of your great interest in and involvement
with families, along with the administration's deep understanding of the potential role of emerging
technologies for ail Americans, we think you mayfindour work both compelling and inspirational.
Tbchnology is changing daily what it means to have a disability, making it possible for people to
accomplish what they might never have previously even imagined. Our organization, the Alliance
for Tbchnology Access, represents families and professionals who have come together to redefine
human potential by making technology aregularpart of the lives of people with disabilities. W
e
strive to accomplish this goal by providing access in a community setting to conventional and
assistive technologies,relatedservices, and informationresourceswhich enable people to achieve
productivity, independence, social interdependence and success according to their own needs and
interests.
An outstanding example of our efforts is located, as you may know, in Little Rock. With the
motto, "giving people with disabilities the power to do more through technology," the Arkansas
Tbchnology Resource Center (TRQ provides information, support, and hands-on computer
experiences to families trying to figure out how technology can help their Idds. Just as Janet
Hargett (Board member) and Ginny Heiple (Director) galvanized the people andresourcesof Little
Rock to build the incredible organization that is TRC of Arkansas Easter Seal Society, others have
been building similar programs in 45 other cities across 34 states and the U.S. Vircin Islands for
the past six years. Like the center in Little P xk. Alliance centers were created by family members
committed to finding and providing the bestresourcesavailable for their children. Carol Rasco,
whom we are also contacting, has participated in the Little Rock program with her son, Hamp, for
many years, and can attest to the value or this program for so many.
Our centers work with approximately 100,000 people each year, introducing them to state-of-theart technology which allows them to go to school with non-disabled peers, enter the job market, or
perhaps even communicate with family members for the first time. We have learned, as you have,
how important access to these tools andrelatedservices and support are to a very large segment of
our population. In fact, one of the most memorable moments of President Clinton's Ibwn Hall
meeting with children this year focused on two sisters who represent the new generation of
individuals with disabilities that have high expectations for themselves and our society as a whole.
Anastasia Somoza's sister, like many children with disabilities, is using technology today to
express her unique talents and skills. We're focused onreachingthe tens of thousands of
youngsters and adults who have not yet discovered the transformational power of technology.

P•
The Alliance was bom out of a desire to demonstrate how technology can be used by everyone to
transform limitations into opportunities. For no other group are the benefits of technology so
obvious, so powerful, and so imperative. As a community whichrepresentssome 43 million
Americans with disabilities, we are proud to have leaderahip in Washington which recognizes the
vast and untapped potential of all Americans, including people with disabilities. In the spirit of a
new and ambitious agenda fer America which proclaims we don't have a person to waste, we see
the continued development and utilization of technology as the key to fuller and more productive
lives for our constituents.
lb further this shared goal, each year at our Institute we bring together families, individuals with
disabilities, professionals and technology gurus from across the nation and immerse ourselves in
the important issues of technology access, technology services and even technology design.
Institute '94 might very well provide an important platform oa which we can all work together to
reach a shared vision for America—one In which all people are empowered to attain their dreams
and no one is "wasted."
We would be honored to have you keynote our Institute next summer in Washington. It will take
place ftom. July 18-21.1994 at the Sheraton City Centre Hotel in Washington, DC, and will be
attended by some 250 people. More infomution will be sent to you via Janet Hargett of TRC.
Janet has been a volunteer in President Clinton's campaign, and is currently volunteering at the
President's Office in Little Rock.
Thank you for considering ourrequestIt would be a great honor to have your participation and
support.
Sincerely,
Jacquelyn Brand

Dear Mrs. Clinton,
I am writing this letter to invite you to Le the Keynote Speaker for the Alliance for
Technology Aooess (ATA) Institute '94 which will be held In Washington D.C. on July 18
through 21,1994. A letter from Jacquelyn Brand, Executive Director of the Alliance for
Technology Access, accompanies this letter.
The Arkansas Technology Resource Center at Arkansas Easter Seals, along with the
other 45 ATA centers that are located across the world, work with thousands of people
yearly.Through these people we are able to see how assistive technology can empower
many persons with disabilities by making them more independent and better able to
compete with their non-disabled peers In classrooms and work settings across the
globe.
Janet Hargett, a board member of the Arkansas Technology Resource Center and the
parent of a college student with cerebral palsy, Is assisting me In trying to get this letter
to you and another letter to Carol Rasco. Janet is a volunteer at President Clinton's
office here In Uttle Rock. Carol Rasco Is a friend and neighbor of mine, and is
responsible fbr getting me involved as a volunteer at Arkansas Easter Seal Society
when Hamp was a toddler. Because much of the good work of the Alliance for
Technology Access has been accomplished by parents of children with disabilities, the
ATA is most anxious to have both you and Carol speak at our '94 Institute this summer.
Janet Hargett and I both hope that you will be able to work this speaking engagement
into your calendar. Those of us who are involved In providing services to persons with
disabilities are very aware of President Clinton's commitment to arsons with disabilities
and their families. As an Arkansan, I also want you to know how proud we are of you
and President Clinton. I am always amazed when I travel to other states how many
people, when they find out that I'm from Arkansas, want to tell me how much they
respect President Clinton for tiylng to make Important changes In this country. I believe
that these people are so eager to talk to us about the President because they assume
that all Arkansans. like President Clinton, are friendly and value their opinions. You have
both done a lot to better the image of Arkansas, and we are ill benefiting from it.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Solis:
On Behalf of the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (N4A), I would like
to extend this invitation to the First Lady to speak at the N4A Annual Conference. The
Conference will be held July 17-20, 1994 in Kansas City. Missouri, at the Hyatt Regency
Crown Center. The Conference theme is "Charting A Course for the Aging Network," and
will incorporate a White House Conference on Aging "Mini-Conference" to solicit comments
and concerns from seniors regarding health and long term care.
We are inviting Hillary Rodham CUnton to address our General Session on Monday, July
18. from 8:30 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. We would like her to speak on health care, particularly on
long term care for seniors and persons with disabilities. Aree Agencies on Aging are very
supportive of the President's proposals for expanded coverage of home and community-based
care, and have been actively involved in educating Members of Congress about the
tremendous need for services. Our attendees are most anxious to hear the First Lady's views
on the prognosis for health care refonn during this Congressional Session.
We anticipate that there will be 500-600 persons at the Conference. Attendees will
include senior and disabled advocates, direct service woricers, and program administrators
from Area Agencies on Aging in local communities throughout the Country. Area Agencies
on Aging serve as focal points for access to home and community-based services, induding
home-delivered and congregate meals, in-home services, transportation, legal services, and
health promotion. The Administration on Aging's most recent statistics show that during a
one-year period. Area Agencies on Aging served approximately 6.9 million seniors through
supportive services, including home and community-based long term care: 2-6 million seniors
received over 200 congregate meals; and 845.000 benefitted from home-delivered meals.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States. However, the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act, failed to pass in 1994.</p>
<p>Due to the vast amount of records from the Health Care Task Force the collection has been divided into segments. Segments will be made available as they are digitized.</p>
<p><a href="http://clinton.presidentiallibraries.us/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=43&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=2006-0885-F+Segment+1"><strong>Segment One</strong></a><br /> This collection consists of Ira Magaziner’s Health Care Task Force files including: correspondence, reports, news clippings, press releases, and publications.
