TO: The First Lady FROM: Jen Klein, Neera Tanden RE: The Family Agenda for the State of the Union DATE: December 30, 1998 We have attached a draft of an outline of a proposed family agenda for the State of the Union. We caution that some of the specific policies require further discussion and evaluation. We have asked Mark Penn to poll this theme and are awaiting the results, though it is our understanding that similar polling has been conducted before and has received strong support. Thus far, we understand that the theme of a family agenda, composed of many of the initiatives we have outlined, is part of the State of the Union; however, those discussions remain fluid and we will update you as we learn more about its place and prominence.
