If shines a bright light on your ongoing commitment to early childhood development. And though I know the child care package will play an important part in your upcoming State of the Union address, I think it's important to frame it as part of that continued commitment to a healthy start for our youngest children. The connection of child care to your education goals, which were so eloquently discussed in last year's State of the Union, would give things a sense of continuity and would reinforce the critical importance of giving our children the strong foundation from which to grow into productive members of society. You will have also planted the seeds for a new, enlightened way of attacking social ills. Again, I'm sure you've considered all of this, but just in case, I'll put this little bug in your ear. Sincerely, Amb Rein Rub Rein Rob Reiner P.S. We're SO happy to be working with the First Lady on the launch of our child care campaign this spring.
