Dear Mr. Magaziner:
I am writing to invite you to deliver the Pi Sigma Alpha Lecture at the Annual Meeting
of the American Political Science Association in New York on Thursday, September 1, 1994,
at 5:30 p.m.
Pi Sigma Alpha is the national honor society for graduate and undergraduate students of
political science. Founded in 1920, the society has nearly 450 chapters on campuses throughout
the United States. The Pi Sigma Alpha Lecture series was begun in 1991 to bring speakers of
national stature to speak on issues of public concern to an audience of political science
professionals, and it has become a highlight of the APSA Annual Meeting, chiefly on account
of the calibre of speakers we have been able to present. Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney
delivered the talk in 1991, followed in 1992 by Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Senator Carol
Moseley Braun was to have been the 1993 speaker but a late plane prevented her from
appearing.
The 1994 APSA Annual Meeting will have an attendance of over 6,000 political scientists
from academia, all levels of government, and the private sector, the IlEA l.ecture is a plenary
session with no other competing concurrent activities, and is the meeting's chief forum for an
address by a non-academic public figure. The Annual Meeting always draws significant press
coverage, especially the sessions with nationally known participants.
I know our audience will enthusiastically welcome the opportunity to hear from you in
person on any aspect of the politics of health care reform. The specific topic would of course
be up to you; we would only need to have a title by July 20 so that it can appear in the printed
program.

Dear President and Mrs. Clinton:
The Syracuse Health Science Center Chapter and the College of Environmental Science and
Forestry Chapter of United University Professions, the union representing academic and professional
faculty of the State University of New York, invite you to be the principal speaker in a legislative forum
entitled Impact of the Proposed Health Care Plan nn State Employees, to be held early afternoon on a
jlnday_ip be scheduled in ^ | y ^pt^m^r at the Syracuse Health Science Center of the State University of
New York in Syracuse, New York We don't anticipate that both of you will be able to accept because of
your busy schedules, but we would like very much if one of you will be able to participate in our program.
r
We would like you to begin the formal program with a presentation of your views on a national
health care plan, mechanisms for its implementation, impact on participants in health care plans, and
finally, implicauons for institutions providing educational programs for health care professionals. We are
also inviting congressmen from central New York and Senators Moynihan and D'Amato to participate in
a Round Table discussion on health care plans being considered by Congress and implications for their
constituents. The program will be concluded by Dr. William Scheuerman, President of United University
Professions and its thirty-one chapters, who will address the implications of the proposed health care
plans for state employees and retirees.
We hope that you will be able to accept our invitation as we anticipate a large audience of
employees from our two colleges since the SUNY Health Science Center at Syracuse is the largest
employer in the Syracuse metropolitan area. In addition, we plan to invite UUP members at three other
SUNY instituuons in central New York, namely the College of Agriculture and Technology at
MomsviUe. College at Oswego, and College of Technology at Utica/Rome.
A specific Friday in early September for this fomm has not been scheduled since we are very
much interestetTlH one ot you being able to participate and hope that thisflexibilitywill enable you to
accepLour mvitatioriTor one of these dates. We would appreciate a prompt reply to our invitation as well
as an indication of a preferred day so that we may proceed with the final plans for this legislative forum.

Dear Mrs. Hayes:
Lois Quam, Vice President of Public Sector Services for
United Healthcare, suggested I write to you. Members of
the International City/County Management Association
would be pleased and honored to hear the President and/or
Mrs. Clinton discuss their vision of health care in the
United States at our SOth annual conference in September
of 1994 in Chicago. ICMA i s the professional association
for the top appointed people in local government.
The conference, which attracts 3,500 local government
decision-makers, always includes nationally recognized
keynote speakers who can inform and challenge our members
who have dedicated their careers to improving the quality
of l i f e in their communities.
These keynotes have
included Governor Mario Cuomo, Marian Wright Edelman, and
Henry Cisneros.
While scheduling c o n f l i c t s made i t
impossible for members of the administration to attend
our most recent conference in Nashville, Pres C provided
greetings in a video that opened the conference.
Next year's conference would provide an excellent forum
for the Clintons.
Our members have a deep-seated
interest in health care reform for their employees and
the c i t i z e n s they serve.
They are also i n f l u e n t i a l
leaders in their communities who are called upon to
evaluate the merits of the broad range of public policy
issues. The continuing increase in health care costs has
a s i g n i f i c a n t impact on local government budgets and
therefore on their a b i l i t y to provide needed services.
On behalf of our members ICMA i s conducting a national
survey on health care cost containment. The r e s u l t s w i l l
be available in March and I would be happy to share them
with you.

Washington D.C.
RE:
Dear President:
The American Society of Hand Therapists is holding its annual meeting in Washington D.C. at
the Renaissance Hotel in September of 1994. This group will be addressing the very issues that
are at the forefront of public debate. What better opportunity for you to discuss your health care
refonn policies with a group of qualified professionals!
The American Society of Hand Therapists is an organization of 1,800 members who are the leaders
in occupational and physical therapy in the U.S. and abroad and through advanced study specialize
in rehabilitating patients with problems affecting the upper extremity. It is also a group of very
devoted and professional individuals who truly dedicate their time to their patients and who have a
special and personal commitment. I have enclosed a copy of our brochure from our public
awareness campaign for your information which explains in more detail those who are members of
the organization.
At our annual meeting we anticipate more than 800 attendees who are all very concerned about
their future and issues that affect them directly. Some of the topics to be discussed are managed
health care, legal issues of health care and functional outcome studies.
If you could find it in your schedule to make a brief appearance during one of our general sessions
we truly feel both you and our attendees could benefit from the interaction. Please let me know at
your convenience if this is a possibihty.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely

California Center for Cardiothoracic Surgery has just successfully completed
their "First Annual Cardiothoracic Symposium" at Sherwood Country Club
in Thousand Oaks, California. We have had excellent attendance and our
speakers were Professors of Surgery from the University of San Diego.
University of Southern California and Mayo Medical School in Rochester,
Minnesota.
We would like to invite you to be our key speaker at our "Second Annual
Cardiothoracic Symposium" to be held in September of 1994 and address
the Health Plan at the time of the Seminar. The location of the two day
Conference proved to be an excellent choice, according to the response of
all attendees and we have enclosed some information about Sherwood
Country Club for your review. The Secret Service has been to this location
in the summer of last year for former Presidents Ronald Reagan and
George Bush.
Please let us know which week in September would be most convenient
for you, so that we can organize the Conference around your schedule. We
are looking forward to your response.
Sincerely yoursy

Dear First Lady Clinton:
Given the proposed health care legislation and its significance to our primarily rural state, health
care of the future is a subject of great concern to small business owners in North Dakota.
Despite the information that has been disseminated, many small employers struggle to assess
what the future holds for them and their employees. Our members would like to learn more
about your view of this important issue.
Each year the Fargo Chamber of Commerce hosts an annual dinner for its 1,400+ member
businesses, their representatives and guests. The Annual Meeting Committee invites you, as
our keynote speaker, to present your vision on the future of health care and what the proposed
models of delivery will mean for small employers at this year's annual dinner meeting. Our
annual meeting is usually scheduled in September or October; however, at this time a specific
date has yet to be determined so that we may remain flexible to your scheduling requirements.
Local interest has been heightened in light of the recent vote by Business Roundtables and the
U.S. Chamber's support of the managed competition bill (Fargo businessman William C. Marcil
currently chairs the board of the United States Chamber of Commerce). Given this, we believe
Fargo would be an ideal location to present your message. We anticipate more than 750
business members will be in attendance.
I believe you will find our business community to be as open and straight-forward as our prairie
landscape. We, in Fargo, are deeply concerned with the welfare of our employees...and health
care reform is among our top priorities. I sincerely hope you will give earnest consideration
to our invitation.
If you or your staff have any questions about this event, please contact me or president Scott
Wilson at the Fargo Chamber of Commerce, (701) 237-5678.
Sincerely,
Linda Sailer, Chair

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. Ira Magaziner a Senior Advisor to President Clinton for Policy Development was heavily involved in health care reform. Magaziner assisted the Task Force by coordinating health care policy development through numerous working groups. Magaziner and the First Lady were the President’s primary advisors on health care. The Health Care Task Force eventually produced the administration’s health care plan, introduced to Congress as the Health Security Act. This bill failed to pass in 1994.<br /> Contains 1065 files from 109 boxes.</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+2"><strong>Segment Two</strong></a><br /> This segment consists of records describing the efforts of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to get health care reform through Congress. This collection consists of correspondence, newspaper and magazine articles, memos, papers, and reports. A significant feature of the records are letters from constituents describing their feelings about health care reform and disastrous financial situations they found themselves in as the result of inadequate or inappropriate health insurance coverage. The collection also contains records created by Robert Boorstin, Roger Goldblatt, Steven Edelstein, Christine Heenan, Lynn Margherio, Simone Rueschemeyer, Meeghan Prunty, Marjorie Tarmey, and others.<br /> Contains 697 files from 47 boxes.</p>

This collection contains memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, newspaper articles, and faxes. The collection contains lists of experts from the field of medicine willing to testify to the viability of the Health Security Act. Much of the remaining material duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 590 files from 52 boxes.</p>

The files contain memoranda, correspondence, handwritten notes, reports, charts, graphs, bills, drafts, booklets, pamphlets, lists, press releases, schedules, statements, surveys, newspaper articles, and faxes. Much of the material in this segment duplicates records from the previous segments.<br /> Contains 435 files from 47 boxes.</p>

Lew’s records reflect a preoccupation with figures, statistics, and calculations of all sorts. Graphs and charts abound on the effect reform of the health care system would have on the federal budget. Margherio, a Senior Policy Analyst on the Domestic Policy Council, has documents such as: memoranda, notes, summaries, and articles on individuals (largely doctors) deemed to be experts on the Health Security Act of 1993 qualified to travel across the country and speak to groups in glowing terms about the groundbreaking initiative put forward by President Clinton in his first year in the White House. <br /> Contains 804 files from 40 boxes.</p>
