August 26, 1999 Michael Collopy New World Library 14 Pamaron Way Novato, CA 94949 Dear Mr. Collopy: I received your request that Mrs. Clinton be included in Architects of Peace. Although this is a subject of great interest to her, unfortunately she must decline your kind invitation. Her schedule this year does not permit her to take on additional obligations of this sort, even for such a worthy project as this. Best of luck with your project. Sincerely, Shirley Sagawa Deputy Assistant to the President Deputy Chief of Staff to the First Lady THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON August 26, 1999 Michael Collopy New World Library 14 Pamaron Way Novato, CA 94949 Dear Mr. Collopy: I received your request that Mrs. Clinton be included in Architects of Peace.

Earlier, we sent a sampler showing the book's format and featuring Marian Wright Edelman, the Dalai Lama, Jimmy Carter, Mother Teresa, César Chavez, and Mikhail Gorbachev, along with a list of participants. We strongly feel that the book will be incomplete without your participation, if possible, in conjunction with the president. Our goal is to bring seventy-five of the world's great peacemakers - activists, politicians, artists, writers, and spiritual leaders — - together under one cover, and through their images and personal essays convey how diversity of culture and opinion can be united through a central goal of peace. We envision this book as a showcase not for individuals but for their ideas — a forum to speak about the most important issues facing humanity in the coming millennium. We see Architects of Peace as both a work of art and an educational tool that will transcend political divisions and inspire a wide audience through the examples and words of both exalted and unknown peacemakers. Participation in the book would entail a very short session to take the portrait photograph and the completion of a short statement on your vision of peace. This essay can be taken from existing writing, but we hope participants will use the book to present, through an original essay or an unpublished speech, what they most want the world to hear. We plan to accompany the book's publication with an international university gallery and museum tour. We can travel wherever needed for the photo session. We hope you agree that this is a project of great educational potential. Please contact us at the numbers below. Thank you very much for your time and attention.
