Bates Director APR 16 1993 Visitors Office The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Ms. Bates: We would like to thank you, on behalf of the professors and students of the Instituto Mexicano Madero (ID# 25156), as well as of my family, for the special tour of the White House we attended on April 9, 1993. All of us enjoyed it very much. Sincerely yours, Ramón Kilotl Ramirez Consul General RXR/NM THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON 3:30 pm Melinda- I Thanks so much for your help today. The ASCC group really enjoyed the tour ! Talk w/ you soon. Janine DREW METCALFE 1835 BRENTWOOD OAKLAND. CALIFORNIA 94602 PHONE April 30, 1993 510 531-5537 Melinda N. Bates Director Vistors Office MAY 4 1993 The White House Washington DC 20500 Dear Melinda, Thank you for your kindness and hospitality when Cory and I were in the White House last week. We found the experience so honoring, and were very touched by your coming to personally greet us. Cory's aids made it important for me to have him in that nationally hallowed place. For me it was a personal symbol of the kind of welcoming all Americans can feel. Out of our visit, Cory's energy level has been unusually vibrant, and we are stirred to greater healing and reconciliation in our great nation. All that possibility from a members tour! It is still a mystery how exactly Barbara Heineback persuaded you to allow us into what appears to be an exclusive realm within the White House. It reaffirms that if our intentions are to honor and serve our country, doors open. It must be an astonishing and demanding time for you in Washington. Astonishing because President Clinton has stirred the nation to greater involvement, eager to solve this nation's problems, to embrace change. Demanding because this administration is perceived as so accessible that six months of mail is filling the White House. You have our support, encouragement and gratitude as you do your job in this administration. Thank you again, Melinda. You were the vision of welcoming during Cory's first time in our nation's capital. Your work makes a difference. Very truly yours, arew metcacfe cc: Barbara Heineback CAROL MC CAIN APR 26 1993 Dear Melinda- - Congratulations on the success wonderful job, and the T.V. of the Egg Roll. you did a Coverage was terrific Cheers to you and mark and your staff- - Caral 19 april HILL AND KNOWLTON Hill and Knowlton Public Affairs Worldwide Co.

As you know, there has been a great deal of confusion and frustration in reserving tours for our constituents. Across the board we have all seen an increase in constituent mail and phone calls, which surely accounts for the doubling in volume of White House tour requests. The Handbook, reception for Tour Schedulers, and various memos have helped to clarify the new group tour request policy, in particular.

The tour coordinator of my office, Michel Aten, has informed me that you and your staff have been very helpful and friendly.

Apparently the request card never made it to your office, however, it did show up back in our mail today. Also, we would like to thank you and your staff for being so kind to straighten out the problems due to the name confusion with the new Congresswoman Roybal-Allard. We have been receiving our allotment of tickets since the matter has been cleared up. It is truly a pleasure working with you.
