ADMIN - List Requests THE WHITE HOUSE WASHINGTON MEMORANDUM TO: THE PRESIDENT THE FIRST LADY FROM: Ann Stock A.S DATE: July 15, 1997 CC: Melanne Verveer Ellen Lovell As you know, we have three major events this fall - Prime Minister Blair's visit, People's Republic of China visit and the Arts and Humanities Dinner. We have a unique opportunity for entertainment for each of these events if we can book them early. I am hopeful you will let me know your thoughts on the following entertainment suggestions for each: Prime Minister Blair's Dinner - RAGTIME will be opening on Broadway. They have offered to put together a 20 to 25 minute synopsis of their production for the After Dinner Entertainment. It would be exciting, uplifting and uniquely American. People's Republic of China Dinner - Jazz is very popular in China and I suggest inviting Wynton Marsalis to put together the best group of Jazz greats he can find to do a 25 minute performance. Again, this would be very different as well as being typically American. Arts and Humanities Dinner - I would like to recommend The Emerson String Quartet for the After Dinner Entertainment. They are respected worldwide and I believe they would add a real element of class to the evening. Please let me know what you think of these ideas. Thanks. 1 You said to bring this up today.

We are in the process of formulating the guest lists for each. I would be grateful if you would put together a list of suggested guests for the dinners and send them to me by the designated deadline for each particular dinner. If we have not received your list by the noted date, I will not be able to include your suggestions when I send the lists to the President and First Lady for review. 1. Arts and Humanites Dinner - Friday, September 12 DEADLINE: Friday, July 18 2.

Each guest list goes through numerous revisions before the final list is complete. For each name you suggest, please include their correct title, phone number, fax number and address as well as their marital status. Also, include a brief one-line description as to why they should be invited to the dinner. Thanks and I look forward to receiving your suggestions. CC: Ellen Lovell
