Marcia L. Hale
I.
PURPOSE
In conjunction with the National Governors' Association Winter meeting, you will be
hosting the spouses of the governors for a luncheon in the residence. There will be no set
issues to discuss, but this will give you the opportunity to speak on various issues that
transcend party lines and that is of concern to many of the spouses. It will also allow you the
opportunity to develop a relationship with some of the new spouses as you will be seated
with several of them.
II.
BACKGROUND
As you may remember, you were hosted by the spouses for a luncheon at the H.H.
Leonard Mansion during the 1995 Winter Meeting. You will have seen many of the spouses
the previous evening at the White House dinner and will have visited with several of them
who spent the night at the White House.
Please see the attached memo containing background information on the spouses.

FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
LUNCHEON WITH GOVERNORS' SPOUSES
WASHINGTON, DC
JANUARY 30, 1995
TALKING POINTS
[Acknowledgements: Susan Bayh; leadership committee members Nancy
Jones Schafer, Libby Jones, Maga Rosello, and Heather Merrill,
who is expected her second baby in August; Ethel Kennedy (you
might want to note the passing of Rose Kennedy, the election of
Kathleen Kennedy Townsend as Lt. Governor in Maryland, and the
recent birth of Kerry Kennedy Cuomo's twins; you might also want
to acknowledge the birth of triplets in December to Michelle
Engler; and offer best wishes to Sue Ann Thompson, who is
undergoing treatment for breast cancer and won't be at the
luncheon]
BREAST CANCER AND MAMMOGRAMS
*
I'd like to commend all of you for the energy and time you
have contributed over the past year to the issue of breast
cancer. I know your report will help alert women and men to the
urgency of this and other women's health issues. As women, we
bring a unique perspective to the issue of health care because we
are typically the primary caretakers in society. So anything we
can do to educate and inform the public about breast cancer and
other diseases that primarily afflict women is a great service
not only to women, but to their families as well.
*
We are all touched by breast cancer at one time or another
in our lives. My mother-in-law was diagnosed a few years ago and
she was one of the unlucky ones who could not be treated.
Unfortunately the number of women succumbing to the disease is
getting higher every year.
*
[Discuss some of the women you have met at the mammography
roundtables]
CHILDREN AND VIOLENCE
*
I'm also delighted to see that you have chosen to focus on
children and violence in the coming year. I don't know how many
of you saw the three-hour documentary special on CBS on Thursday
night, which examined violence around the country in a very
profound, dispassionate way. It described our nation's cities as
"The Killing Fields of America," and sadly, that is too accurate
a description in too many neighborhoods and communities.
*
Here in Washington 167 children have been killed in this
city since 1990.
*
Over the past few weeks the unthinkable has become the routine:
-- The day after Christmas a 12-year-old from a group home
came to visit his mother and was shot numerous times in the head
and body a few blocks from her house.
-- A few weeks ago, a sophomore at Cardozo High School was
shot to death at the school's entrance, allegedly by a 14-year-
old in a dispute over a girl.
*
In Washington and other cities, children are barricading
themselves indoors as a survival tactic. They are scared to go
outside and play, scared to go to a movie, scared to go to a
party, scared to go to school.
THE CRIME BILL
*
The President's Crime Bill was a huge step forward in getting
guns off the streets and out of the hands of criminals. It will
stiffen penalties for criminals. And perhaps most important, it
attacks the root causes of crime by investing $7 billion over the
next five years for prevention programs: employment opportunities
in crime-ridden neighborhoods and after school programs, for
example.
*
As the warden of the Louisiana State Prison, who has headed
one of the toughest penal institutions in the country for 24
years, said on the CBS documentary, the key to solving our crime
problem is not simply to make punishment more severe, but to keep
the next generation from getting into crime in the first place.
In other words, we have to go after poverty, unemployment, lack
of education, and perhaps most important of all, family
breakdown.
*
Instead of viewing this problem as intractable or futile, we
also need to look around and see the incredible things that
people -- from welfare mothers, to school principals, to law
enforcement officers, to everyday citizens -- are doing to make
their communities safe again.
WOMEN CAN PLAY A SPECIAL ROLE IN LEADING THE FIGHT AGAINST
VIOLENCE
* I don't think it's a coincidence that women are stepping up and
helping galvanize communities to fight crime and stop violence.
Look at Mothers of Murdered Sons (MOMS) in Atlanta and the mayors
of East Palo Alto and Menlo Park in California who, in different
but equally effective ways, have confronted crime and violence
head on.
*
As our social institutions grow weaker, as television
continues to bombard children with glamorized images of violence,
we must focus on programs and people who are making a difference.
-- The Police Athletic Teams in Birmingham, Alabama, which
sponsor 300 teams in 52 neighborhoods
--
The drug abuse, anti-gang initiatives that are part
of a community policing effort in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
-- After school programs such as City Streets in Phoenix
-- Recreational clubs like the wonderful Jesse White
Tumbling Team from Chicago, that now has a waiting list of 4,000
young people.
--- Mentoring programs like the Omega Boys Club in Oakland,
California, which has sent 118 kids, most of them from public
housing projects, to college -- and only 10 have dropped out.
These are the kinds of programs the Crime Bill will bolster.
*
I am so excited that you are getting involved in an issue so
critical to children and families across our country. And I'll be
anxious to see your findings a year from now.
