Collins, Cardiss PHOTOCOPY PRESERVATION THE WHITE HOUSE October 29, 1993 Honorable Cardiss Collins U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Congresswoman Charles Collins: On behalf of the President, I want to express my deep gratitude for your co- sponsorship of the Health Security Act. Your action reflects an unswerving commitment to ensuring health security for all Americans. We are grateful for your contribution to this historic effort and for your invaluable advice. We look forward to working with you in the weeks and months ahead to make health care reform a reality. Your leadership will be critical to passage in this Congress. With appreciation and respect, I am Sincerely yours, Hillary Hilany Rodham Clinton Thanks so much THE WHITE HOUSE May 25, 1993 The Honorable Cardiss Collins United States House of Representatives Washington D.C. 20515-6120 Dear Representative Collins: Thank you for your letter in support of our efforts in creating a plan for comprehensive health care reform. I'm sorry it has taken so long for me to respond. As you know, I share your view that every American should have access to affordable health care, and that special efforts are needed to respond to the special needs of minorities and women. I greatly appreciate your encouragement, and look forward to our continued work together on this issue of such importance to the American people. Sincerely, Hillary Hillary Rodham Clinton April 1, 1993 Dear Rep. Collins: Thank you for meeting with me to discuss the vitally important topic of health care reform. I greatly appreciated your kind comments at the Democratic Members' meeting supporting the President's efforts to achieve health care reform. Coming from an experienced health care leader such as yourself, I cannot tell you how much that means to us. It was great to see you at the CBC meeting and I look forward to working with you. All the best. Sincerely yours, Hon. Cardiss Collins U. S. House of Representatives Washington, D. C. 20515 April 7, 1993 Dear Rep.

As the former Chairwoman of President Clinton's Task Force on Health Care Reform, your presence at such a meeting would be extraordinarily beneficial and meaningful to the constituents of the 7th District. Spanning from the upper-middle class high- rises along the lakefront through the majority of Chicago's public housing projects on the south and westsides of the city to solidly middle-class western suburbs including Bellwood, Westchester and Berkeley, my District is truly a "slice of America". As such, health care reform is an issue of vital importance to my constituents at this time. Some of the concerns that my constituents have expressed include the need for comprehensive benefits, universal care, long-term care insurance regulation, cost containment, and guaranteed access to high quality care for low-income, unemployed and part-time employed individuals. As one of the nation's leaders in the effort to reform this country's health care system, your input and involvement at this gathering would be invaluable. The Town Hall meeting would take place in the suburb of Oak Park and could be scheduled at a time and date most suitable to your schedule. I hope that you will consider the possibility of attending such a meeting and I would gladly welcome you "home" to Chicago for this event. Sincerely, Cardis Collins CARDISS COLLINS Member of Congress CC/sjw PLEASE SEND REPLY TO: SUITE 3880 2308 RAYBURN HOUSE OFFICE BUILDING 230 SOUTH DEARBORN STREET 328 LAKE STREET WASHINGTON DC 20515-1307 CHICAGO.

I always enjoy the opportunity to return to my home town. Unfortunately, as you know, my schedule does not permit me to accept every worthwhile invitation. If I am able to join you for the meeting, I will let you know as soon as possible. Again, thank you for writing.
