DRAFT TALKING POINTS
NATIONAL GALLERY OF ART SCULPTURE GARDEN
DEDICATION CEREMONY
MAY 19, 1999
-- Thank you, Robert Smith, for that generous introduction. This is a
historic day for the nation. I am reminded of President Franklin
Roosevelt's words when he accepted the National Gallery on behalf of the
nation:
What a wonderful gift you have given to the American people, and the
millions of foreign visitors who will pass this way in future decades.
-- Of course, I especially want to thank the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz
Foundation. For three decades, the Cafritz Foundation has set a pace for
philanthropy in Washington, DC. We a great deal to the Foundation and the
Cafritz family for their support of community service, education, and the
arts here in the Nation ?s capital, and all Americans owe a debt of
gratitude
to them for making this Sculpture Garden possible.
-- Some of you may be familiar with the White House Millennium project,
which the President and I created to celebrate how we became Americans and
what our values and ideals are. We wanted to ask all Americans to help us
live out the national theme of "honor the past and imagine the future."
-- -- It is fitting that as we prepare for the new Millennium, that we
dedicate
this Garden which is truly a gift to the future. It also honors the past,
as the vision for a garden on this spot was laid a two centuries ago when
Pierre L ?Enfant created his plan for the city of Washington. He imagined
in
this location a landscaped park, and I am sure he would approve of this
wonderful oasis which the National Gallery has built for all to enjoy.
-- The President and I believe strongly that art should be accessible to
everyone, because it has the power to evoke in each of us a deeper
understanding of our lives and the world around us. That is why he has
been
a steadfast supporter of public funding for the arts, including the NEA.
-- Among the arts, scupture holds a special place in our lives. I often
tell the story of how sculpture brought Bill and me together ? after
standing in line to register for law school classes, we found ourselves in
front of the Yale University Art Gallery, which had a wonderful sculpture
garden. A labor dispute had closed the museum ?s doors, but Bill managed to
get the two of us in by offering to pick up trash. That was our first
date.
-- I have always loved sculpture, and shortly after his first inauguration,
I started thinking about bringing favorite American pieces to the White
House. With the help of J. Carter Brown, the idea for an outdoor sculpture
garden began to take shape. We hoped to touch the million people who tour
the White House each year. To lift their spirits, and inspire them, and
sometimes puzzle them -- to encourage them to find the deeper meaning in
what they see.
-- The National Gallery has always been an important steward of our
artistic
and cultural heritage. By opening its doors to millions of students, it
has
played a profound role in teaching the next generation about our history
and
the ties between past cultures and modern spirit. I am sure it has
inspired
countless future artists, helping to preserve and nurture American
creativity. And by creating an outdoor space for sculpture, it has
expanded
the horizons of every visitor, just as two decades ago, the East Building
gave 20th century art the prominence it deserves.
-- The National Gallery ?s Sculpture Garden will be accessible to the
millions of visitors who come to Washington each year. They will be able
to
walk around these great works of art; sit and think about them and observe
others ? reactions; enjoy a refreshment while they take it in; or even take
a
spin around the ice skating rink. All in the grandeur of this beautiful
setting in the shadow of the Capitol Dome. What a wonderful way to expose
people to the world of art.
-- I have been eager to view the new collection here and hope that I can
come back one day when I have more time to experience it. I am intrigued
by
Thinker on A Rock ? Rodin ?s The Thinker is now on display in the White
House
sculpture garden where I have the privilege of viewing it every day. Now I
will look at Rodin ?s Thinker differently having seen Barry Flanagan ?s
whimsical and provocative treatment of the subject.
-- And having just returned from Macedonia, where I had the chance to talk
with Kosovar refugees who have endured such terrible suffering, I have
looked forward to contemplating Puellae by Magdalena Abakanowicz. I
understand the sculpture was inspired by a story the artist heard about
children who were found frozen to death in cattle cars as they were
transported from Poland to Germany in 1942. Surely this work of art has
new
meaning as the haunting images of Nazi death trains are replayed today in
Yugoslavia.
-- With the Kosovar tragedy so fresh in my mind, I am reminded of why art
is
so important and why it continues to deserve public support. President
Kennedy once said that ?the life of the arts, far from being an
interruption, a distraction in the life of the nation, is very close to the
center of a nation ?s purpose, and is the test of quality of a nation ?s
civilization. ? He noted that Abraham Lincoln ordered work to continue on
the Capitol Dome during the Civil War. That Franklin Roosevelt, in the
midst of World War II, dedicated the National Gallery of Art. They were
not deterred by circumstances that today would seem daunting. They
understood what they were fighting for.
-- Thank you for giving us the inspiration and purpose to go on fighting.
I
hope that every American who comes to Washington will visit the Sculpture
Garden because they will leave enriched. I know that I will.
-- I am honored to accept, on behalf of the nation, the National Gallery of
Art Sculpture Garden. Thank you.

SUBJECT: Survey comments
TEXT:
These are comments from Ann Lewis and me.
Is it correct that the two purposes are to inform the development of the
ad campaign and to yield at least some results that could be released to
the public? If so, which questions do you see as potentially releaseable?
We have several overarching concerns. First, it is a little misleading
about the population we are focusing on (it's not youth or teenagers, it's
young adults, 18 - 30) -- we're afraid people will be thinking "high
school" rather than "college-age". Second, it yields no information on
one of the most fundamental communication challenges we have, which is how
to describe what AmeriCorps members are doing. Rather than doing the
laundry list of helping seniors, providing disaster relief, cleaning up
rivers and streams, etc., I'd like to know if we do better pitching a
focused, qualitative series of projects (such as working with younger
children and youth, helping out in schools, working in afterschool
programs). Third, it doesn't address one of the President's major goals
for AmeriCorps which was bringing people of different backgrounds together
in a common purpose in order to build a stronger community and country.
We are interested in service as a way of teaching responsibility,
community, and common values -- giving young people the chance to connect
in a values context, to be a part of something larger than themselves.
These are community impacts, not just individual impacts. Finally, we
would like to see it test some specific messages (perhaps provided by GSD
& M).
Here are our specific comments:
QI I would add something about people of diverse racial and ethnic
backgrounds working together and respecting one another (and maybe drop
the strong families? or another one?)
Q2 AmeriCorps doesn't include many teenagers -- you have to be over 18 to
sign up, and the average AmeriCorps member is over 21. I wouldn't put
teenagers in this question -- it skews the results.
Q3a What about "caring"? "involved"? What does this question tell us?
I'm not sure how we would use this information. Again, we are talking
about young adults, not youth as most people define them.
Q3b Is this question too vague?
Q4 I think goals 3 and 4 are too similar -- will most people know what
"building a lifelong dedication to community service" means?; concept of
tolerance should be tied to people of other races and ethnicities.
Q5 Why tie this to the military?
Q7A Need to include information about the diversity of AmeriCorps -- need
to get past stereotype that all AmeriCorps members are middle class. Also
I don't think providing the laundry list of different types of service
works -- it gives one the impression that AmeriCorps members are moving
from short-term project to short-term project, rather than seriously
focusing on a specific need in a specific community for a year. It feeds
the "why not just use unpaid volunteers" argument. At least let's try
alternating descriptions and see which is more appealing -- the laundry
list V. a set of activities focusing on children and youth. I might even
say (this is not in survey -speak): "Each AmeriCorps member is assigned
to spend a year working with a school or community group to meet a locally
identified need -- most often helping younger children and youth."
Q8B Same problem re: list of what AmeriCorps members are doing.
Q10 Education award or scholarship, not stipend. Same problem about
getting things done -- this has been a serious communications challenge
for AmeriCorps since it was first conceived -- I'd like to see this survey
help us decide how to describe what they do, rather than assume this is
the only formulation. Please add an alternative that gets at the depth of
the work, the focus on youth, and the fact that communities identify the
need to be met.

Here's my list:
Issues -- need date for hispanic youth event
need date for adoption event with POTUS (may combine with
reconvening of foundations on adoption which HRC said she wanted to do)
Millennium -- need date for Philanthropy conference
Photo op requests --
Women's Law and Public Policy Fellowship Program (before July 31
Truman Scholars (June 7 to Aug 6)
Girl Scouts want HRC for their conference (which is held every three years
and she has never done, every other first lady has done, etc.) It's in
October (14 - 17) in KANSAS CITY so I assume this is not going to happen,
but I wanted to mention - maybe we should do a video?
Girl Scouts also wants her to visit a troop anywhere in the country.
Need a time for AmeriCorps coffee June 3.
Need a time to reshoot the cover of the White House book, preferably early
June.
Finally, the Corporation for National Service is desperate for HRC to
present the President's Service Awards, which got cancelled last fall due
to Wye River agreement. The President can't do (he is only doing
AmeriCorps events) and we will have missed two years in a row. Time frame
is June 14 - early July.

I don't know if you've had a chance to look over the survey questions (let
me know if you didn't receive it), but I wanted to share my reactions to
see if you agree. This is a long and rather expensive survey and I want
to make sure that we get the most out of it. As I see it, the two
purposes are to inform the development of the ad campaign and to yield at
least some results that could be released to the public.
Overall, I think the survey has several major problems -- it is misleading

doesn't address one of the President's major goals for AmeriCorps which
was bringing people of different backgrounds together in a common

the expert here) and I don't think it tests messages, mainly because they
haven't been crafted yet. Here are my specific comments:
Q1 I would add something about people of diverse racial and ethnic

Three things --
I have put October 22 on Mrs. Clinton's schedule as a tentative for the
anniversary. She really wants to be there and is booking through
October. I don't know if the request has gone to Presidential scheduling
yet or if that is still the date we are thinking of - if something has
changed, let me know.
The group working on the Fox Family special has decided to go forward with
Joel Schumacher as director. They needed to lock him in if they are going
to shoot in July and be on the air in October. We probably have about a
day to call them back and raise issues if necessary, but the train is
leaving the station
Finally, the Peter Hart poll has been revised slightly based on Ann and my
suggestions, but it still is weak on exactly what the public wants/thinks
AmeriCorps members should be doing. Should be finalized by COB today.

Bad news. But perhaps Eli should call her right away and see if she can
support the project in other ways. You might talk to her about the

Dear Shirley,
I think you were sent the press release on the mercury info by
mistake Health Care without Harm is an interesting project that pertains
to among other things children and mothers' health concerns
Anyway, I just got back from New York Eli and I traded phone calls earlier
in the week and then I realized when we hadn't been able to talk by week's
end that I have, unfortunately, too much on my plate already to help out as
co-chair for the AmeriCorps campaign it really came home to me this week
as I was in New York and realizing what all I already have to do and not
even being able to communicate with Eli I faxed him a letter Friday
afternoon saying as much I will glad to help Anne out as I can I wish
I could do it for the program and for the First Lady and the President but
it just isn't realistic for me to take this on
Take care of yourself and let me know if I can assist in some way Best,
Anne

DRAFT
City Year Remarks
6/4/99
Boston, Massachusetts
Thank you
It ?s hard to imagine that just ten years ago, City Year was born here in
Boston.
Ten years ago, I had the privilege of serving on a Commission set up by the
WT Grant Foundation to recommend strategies to help our young people
succeed. The resulting report, called ?The Forgotten Half, ? for the
then-fifty percent of youth who didn ?t go on to college, called for many
things ? including more money for college, better job training, and greater
youth involvement in community organizations.
Many of these proposals were put into practice by the Clinton
Administration. School-to-Work legislation helped build stronger
connections between educators and employers. 20th Century Learning funds
will create X thousand new openings in after school programs, and (other).
And today, the Forgotten Half has become just a third, as the number of
young people going to college has increased by X, thanks in part to the
availability of HOPE Scholarships, which [do x].
One of our recommendations, a decade ago, turned popular wisdom about young
people on its head. Youth need many things, and the families deserve the
support of the whole community to be sure that they get the education,
health care, and moral support that they need. But as much as young people
need, they also have much to offer. A decade ago, it was not a common idea
to ask a young person to help their community ? especially those who were
low-income or who had other challenges of their own. And yet, we
discovered, when young people are asked to channel their idealism and
energy
into helping others and solving community problems, they also build respect
for themselves and a connection to others.
So our idea was to turn it around, not just to serve youth, but to ask
youth
to serve. And City Year was one of the examples we looked at and wrote
about.
A decade ago, not everyone believed it could be done. That young adults
from all walks of life could find common ground in service. That their
service would make them better citizens. Or that they could make a real
contribution to their communities.
City Year proved that what worked in theory could work in practice. It
worked so well that the President used City Year as a model for his
national
service program, AmeriCorps. And now City Year corpsmembers wear the
AmeriCorps emblem on their signature red jackets, signifying that they are
proud members of the AmeriCorps network.
As you celebrate your tenth anniversary, be proud of what you have done.
You have mentored and tutored almost 400,000 children. You have [insert
other City Year accomplishments]. And you have helped to launch a national
movement, to make service the common expectation of every young person
growing up in America.
This fall will mark the fifth anniversary of AmeriCorps. Since the
President swore in the first corpsmembers in 1994, more than 100,000
Americans have served in AmeriCorps, including 40,000 this year alone.
They, like City Year, represent the diversity that is America ? [insert
diversity stats]. They are in every state. They work with well-known
nonprofit organizations like the National Council of Churches, Habitat for
Humanity, and the Red Cross, and with unknown grassroots groups. And they,
in my opinion, are the best kept secret in America.
Two out of every three Americans have never heard of AmeriCorps (check
Blueprint). They don ?t know of the important work you do -- improving the
environment, helping senior citizens, and reaching out to children and
teenagers, providing them with good role models, tutoring, and someone to
talk to who had time to listen. They don ?t know how AmeriCorps members
help
bring communities together, recruiting additional volunteers and sparking
community involvement. And they don ?t know that, according to a recent
study, although just a little over half of AmeriCorps members had
volunteered before they joined, virtually every one planned to continue
their service after, with many planning careers in public service.
It ?s time we let the cat out of the bag. I ?m asking you to let people know
the best kept secret in America: AmeriCorps is national service and
AmeriCorps works. I challenge you to tell ten people this week, and the
next, and the next after that. Tell people about your City Year
experience,
what you ?ve experienced, or if you ?re not a City Year member, tell why you
believe in the program.
Just a month ago (check), America received a wake up call when two young
men
in Littleton, Colorado, held a school, a community, and the whole nation
hostage. The media attention focused on them will ensure that none of us
ever forgets the tragedy they wrought.
It ?s a shame that the good works of City Year and other AmeriCorps members
don ?t garner one thousandth the media attention as this. On the other
hand,
the 100,000 current and former AmeriCorps members have surely touched the
lives of millions of Americans. We have the power to spread the word, and
we should use it.
It is my belief that some good will come from the national soul-searching
sparked by Littleton. We have already made some progress promoting gun
control [need specifics].
And Littleton has prompted a long overdue discussion not just about the
role
that violence plays in our popular culture, but what we can do to see that
children are not exposed to routine violence in their games, their
television shows, and their movies. [more?]
A third important result is a reexamination of the support we are providing
our young people, from mental health services to
But it ?s also time to reexamine what we ask of young people, starting in
the
earliest grades.
As I ?ve travelled to war-torn countries around the world, I am always
struck
by the depth of people ?s hatred for people unlike themselves. Hate that
has
festered and grown for years, even centuries. I ?ve met good people who
have
never spoken to someone of another ethnicity or religion. And so the
prejudice continues.
These experiences always reminds me that despite the struggles we have had
here in the United States to become one America, our diversity is our
strength, our difference is our S
But there is no question that we
have had to work at it.
Today, I worry that we should be doing more to bring people together across
racial, ethnic, and economic lines in a common purpose. The military, when
it set out to desegregate, did this for a generation of young men. Our
schools ought to serve this function, but today, too many children are
educated in de facto segregation. I can ?t think of another American
institution that works to strengthen the bonds that tie us together across
difference. But I am sure that one thing we should be doing is to make
programs like City Year available to young people in state and major city
in
America.
The President has proposed just that:
What the President ?s proposal would mean:
To make this vision a reality, need support of private sector.
Endowment ? a gift to the future.

Under service-learning, the American Institute for Learning may be run by

A few changes to the list:
Bernardo Ramirez is the Americorps person at LaRaza. The program focuses
on child care, afterschool, and GED training.
Under service-learning, the American Institute for Learning may be run by
a for-profit company, which could be an issue. I'm still checking to see
if that's true.
Finally, would like to add Dorothy Stoneman from Youthbuild to our list.

I recommend that we discontinued doing regular AmeriCorps calls for the

fallen off significantly. It seems we might want to focus instead on
meetings about specific issues when needed, like the reauthorization
meeting. We should probably do one soon about the Anniversary Event
tentatively scheduled for October 20.

This is way beyond me, but I am concerned about the service events in
October. At the moment, I believe there is a possible service day on
Wednesday October 20 with an as yet unspecified number of events for the
President. Two days later, on Friday October 22, the First lady and the
Millennium Council will host a half day conference on philanthropy,
hopefully with the President (and the Gores if available). Given
scheduling and other issues that will be up at that time, will it really
be possible to devote a day and a half to service and philanthropy in the
same week? The philanthropy crew are getting money for this because like
the Millennium Evenings, there will be downlinks and up links and side
links and who knows what. As we all know, I have very parochial concerns
- if my marriage can be called parochial - but as the 5th anniversary of
AmeriCorps is actualy on the 22nd, won't they try to mush it all into that
day - which message way probably makes sense? I leave this all to your
capable hands.

Subject: House VA-HUD -- important update
I want to keep you closely apprised of developments on AmeriCorps
appropriations. You recall, of course, that the President requested a
significant increase -- $113 million -- on the way to the goal of 100,000
AmeriCorps slots per year.
On Monday evening, the House VA-HUD subcommittee did its mark-up. The
results were somewhat mixed -- some quite positive, and some cause for
being
very alert. The subcommittee put in $400 million, which is less than
current funding levels ($435 million) and obviously far below the
President's request. BUT, this is the first time the House committee has
put money in for AmeriCorps, so in that respect it is a big increase from
past years. This reflects both the growing bipartisan support for
AmeriCorps, and the Chair's (Walsh) special support of AmeriCorps and
national service.
The less good news is that Walsh's staff thinks that other Republicans will
be gunning for us on the floor, and that the bill could be on the floor as
early as next week. So we are readying ourselves for this fight.
You should know that we haven't had a House floor vote for many a moon.
Our
previous subcommittee chair (Lewis) had always recommended to us that we
not
endure (and possibly lose) a floor vote. Most of the threatened amendments
in the past have been to pit ameriCorps against something undeniable such
as
veterans health. Lewis and his Democratic counterparts have been of the
mind not to take that fight, but rather to keep our heads down with the
knowledge that we would ultimately get our funds in the final bill.
Walsh's view may be different. With the growing support for AmeriCorps,
and
the very closely divided House, he has suggested in the past that we may
want the floor fight, and we could win it. If we have no Democratic
defections, we can probably count on a minimum of 10 Republican votes (and
possibly many more). That would win. Harris will be consulting with Walsh
tomorrow, and I will let you know the upshot of that conversation.
I wanted to make sure that you (and your colleagues as you think useful)
are
aware of the situation. The prospect of a winnable floor fight is quite
exciting. What better way to prove our point and win our argument. The
prospect of a close loss is obviously less appealing.
Please call if you have questions, concerns, or immediate counsel. Thanks
for your support.
Best. JG

PRESIDENT WILLIAM J. CLINTON
REMARKS IN MEMORY OF DAN DUTKO
WASHINGTON, D.C.
AUGUST 2, 1999
It is written in the Psalms that a good man &shall be like a tree planted
by the rivers of water ( his leaf shall not wither; and whatsoever he
doeth shall prosper. 8
Dan Dutko was that good man. Wherever he planted himself, whether it was
in the West Texas prairie, in the halls of Congress, the DNC, Dan reaped a
bountiful harvest. He made a difference in the lives of all of us in this
room ) and countless Americans who will never know his name. For those of
us who were blessed to know him, the memory of Dan ,S work, his love and
friendship, will always thrive, and never wither.
I first met Dan some 27 years ago. Taylor Branch and I were running the
McGovern campaign in Texas and we had asked all the regional coordinators
to meet us in San Antonio. I immediately noticed the energy and optimism
emanating from this slender young man from West Texas. We knew that the
odds weren ,t exactly in our favor. But of all the coordinators, Dan had
one of the toughest challenges. He had volunteered to run our effort in
Tom Green County ) a place where we were surprised to find even a single
McGovern supporter, let alone someone willing to work for our campaign.
In the end, through sheer force of will, Dan did a remarkable job in Tom
Green County, rounding up an improbable 30 percent of the vote.
Later, when I got to know him better, I learned that Dan was no stranger
to beating improbable odds. It was his life story. From a hardscrabble
childhood in Illinois, he made the most of his opportunities ) joining the
Air Force, getting a college degree, making his way through Texas and
Washington politics to become a mover and shaker in this city. Against
the odds, he lived the American Dream. There ,S a popular saying in
Arkansas, &Politics is full of self-made men who were born in a log cabin
they built with their own hands. 8 Dan Dutko was truly a self-made man, but
he never forgot where he came from ) and those who helped him along the
way. He was determined to give something back to the country that had
given so much to him.
No one loved the Democratic Party more than Dan. Like so many of us, he
truly believed it was the party of the American Dream ) and he fought hard
to give more of his fellow Americans the opportunities to live that Dream.
I ,m told that Dan loved to garden, that he put many, many hours into
planning, planting, coaxing beautiful flowers out of his backyard
garden. I ,m not surprised. Dan was a nurturer. He was known for taking
promising young people under his wing, mentoring them, helping them
flourish. So many of you are a testament to his eye for talent --
including the Senator from my home state, Blanche Lincoln, who started her
career in Washington as his personal assistant. I, too, am grateful to
Dan for sharing my vision for America and working with me to make it a
reality these past seven years.
Over the years, I continued to be amazed by Dan ,S spirit and enthusiasm,
his generosity and tireless commitment to so many important causes. From
the very beginning, Dan was instrumental to one of my proudest
achievements as president ) AmeriCorps. Whenever it looked like
AmeriCorps might have trouble in Congress, Dan was there for us, devoting
his heart and soul to building the support we needed to keep it alive.
His dedication sprang not just from his devotion to his wife, who worked
for AmeriCorps, but from his belief in the possibilities of giving young
people a chance to serve. In no so small measure because of Dan, 100,000
young men and women now have had the opportunity to earn money for college
and make a difference in their communities. Hillary tells me that even
last weekend at Aspen, Dan was talking up AmeriCorps , upcoming fifth
anniversary and asking folks to help out with the celebration.
But most of all, I am grateful to Dan for his friendship. Hillary and I
loved having Dan and Deb over to the White House for dinner or the
movies. Dan and I shared a love of action movies ) the last one we saw
together ) just last month was & The General ,S Daughter. 8 We will miss
Dan ,S big hugs and big heart, his warmth and good humor ) and the
legendary energy he instantly brought into the room. We will miss the
pride in his voice as he talked of his beloved wife Deb and their two fine
young sons, Jonathan and Matthew, whom he adored.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "To laugh often and much; to win the
respect of intelligent people and the affection of children ( to appreciate
beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a little better;
whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is
the meaning of success."
Though he was taken from us decades too soon, Dan Dutko, devoted husband
and father, respected mentor and cherished friend

The Backstreet Boys linked the song, Larger Than Life, from their
record-breaking new album Millennium, to the awards, which will recognize
one outstanding young volunteer, age 9-20, in each of the Backstreet Boys
U.S. tour markets. The group's song Larger Than Life also is exclusively
featured in Sears advertising in the August back-to-school campaign and
in spots to air throughout the fall tour.
The Larger Than Life Awards will recognize a total of 36 winners, who
will receive a $2,000 grant to fund a project for National Youth Service
Day, four tickets to their local Backstreet Boys concert and the
opportunity to meet the Backstreet Boys backstage before the concert.
Two national Larger Than Life Award winners will be selected from all
award winners to receive an additional $10,000 grant for their volunteer
organization.
The Larger Than Life Awards will be administered by YSA, the nation's
largest alliance of youth service organizations. Nominations in each
market will be judged on applicants' dedication to service, ability to
motivate others to serve, and the positive impact of their service on the
community. Applicants must also submit a plan for a project for National
Youth Service Day, scheduled for April 14-15, 2000.
Winners will be announced one day prior to the concert in each U.S. tour
market. The first Larger Than Life Award presentation will be made at
the Backstreet Boys first tour stop, September 15 in Ft. Lauderdale. The
Sears-sponsored tour will visit 39 cities in the U.S. and Canada in 11
weeks before the final show in Tampa on December 2, 1999.
Next spring, Sears and YSA will announce the two national winners, to be
selected by a special committee, based on the impact and scope of their
National Youth Service Day project.
"Sponsoring the Backstreet Boys North American concert tour provides
Sears with the unique opportunity to reach the important teen market and
their moms during back-to-school and throughout the fourth quarter," said
John Lebbad, Sears director of event marketing and sales promotion.
"Sears hopes the Larger Than Life Awards will spark innovation among
service-oriented youth, as well as provide the catalyst for community
participation among our nation's young people."
"Each member of the Backstreet Boys realizes the importance of youth
volunteerism in local communities," said Michael Green, co-founder and
partner of the Backstreet Boys management, The Firm. "The Larger Than
Life Awards represent the group's goal to reach out to youth and
encourage them to take an active role in the youth volunteer movement."
YSA will publicize the awards through its network of affiliate
organizations and SERVEnet.org, the largest site on the Internet for
service and volunteering. Applications are available online at
<www.SERVEnet.org> and by calling YSA at (202) 296-2992, extension 23.
"This partnership combines the resources and efforts of three parties
committed to recognizing young people as everyday heroes in their cities
and neighborhoods," said Steve Culbertson, president and CEO of Youth
Service America. "Sears brings to the table considerable dedication to
the youth service movement, while the Backstreet Boys help to drive
interest in promoting the importance of community involvement among youth
today."
Founded in 1986, YSA is committed to increasing the quality and quantity
of youth volunteer opportunities on a local, national and global level.
YSA is building a strong youth service field that will create healthy
communities and will foster citizenship, knowledge and personal
development of young people.

there are going to be two related roundtable discussions -- the Treasury

be during the same week. I wouldn't call these break-out sessions, just
loosely related events.
I think your response to Nancy was the right one. If he is a sponsor,

HR Clinton Column 9/15
TALKING IT OVER
BY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1999, AND THEREAFTER
This is an important time for the American people. Congress is
back in session, and expected to tackle many of the issues that affect our
citizens in very direct ways -- from taxes, to health care, retirement,
education, campaign finance reform and the minimum wage. We should all pay
close attention to the deliberations, because the decisions made by our
representatives will have real and long-lasting consequences, and will
determine whether we continue along the road to security and prosperity,
or return to the short-sighted and ill-advised policies of the
past. Under my husband's leadership, this country has witnessed
the creation of 19.4 million new jobs, the longest peacetime expansion,
and the largest budget surplus in history. The latest economic reports
show unemployment dropping to 4.2 percent, the lowest rate since January
of 1970.
In order not to squander this hard-won prosperity, we
must commit ourselves to saving Social Security and strengthening and
modernizing Medicare. We must pay down our debt, continue to improve
educational and economic opportunity, and inject new investment in areas
still untouched by our recovery. And we must do these things now.
A proposed increase in the minimum wage is a good example. Working
40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, a minimum-wage worker earns just $10,300
annually -- not enough to makes ends meet for many families, and below the
poverty level for a family of four. The President and Democratic members
of Congress have proposed an increase of $1 -- from $5.15 to $6.15 an hour
-- over two years, which would boost a family's income by an additional
$2,000.
Although critics traditionally predict that raising the
minimum wage is bad for business and benefits mostly middle-income
teenagers, the evidence points in the opposite direction. Since the last
increase three years ago, more than 8 million new jobs have been added to
the economy, and unemployment has declined. And of those who would
benefit, 70 percent are adults, and three-fifths are women, many of whom
are the sole breadwinners in their households. Raising the minimum
wage will be considered as the Senate debates bankruptcy reform -- another
bill that will have far-reaching implications for America. Bankruptcy
reform is in order, and anyone who can repay a portion of his debts should
be required to do so. Bankruptcy reform, however, should be balanced, and
should require greater responsibility from creditors and debtors
alike. As we approach the end of the federal government's fiscal
year on Oct. 1, lawmakers must pass the 13 appropriations bills to fund
the government for the next 12 months. As I write this, members of
Congress are woefully underfunding programs like education and health
care. In other areas, they are cutting key programs altogether.
I
am appalled that one of the bills passed by the House cuts entirely one of
the great success stories of the last five years -- AmeriCorps. Since
1994, with broad bipartisan support, AmeriCorps has given over 100,000
young people the opportunity to serve. It has enabled Americans from every
walk of life to work together to revitalize our neighborhoods and our
schools.
Cutting funding for AmeriCorps sends exactly the wrong
message to our young citizens who want to make a difference in their
communities, and the President has promised a veto if funding is
inadequate. Not only is AmeriCorps in jeopardy, but other
important programs are threatened by another bill the President has vowed
to veto -- the Republican tax cut bill. This risky proposal does nothing
to save Social Security or modernize and strengthen Medicare. Moreover, in
2009, the Republican plan would slash domestic programs across the board
by nearly 50 percent. Cuts of this magnitude could mean roughly
425,000 fewer children enrolled in Head Start, over 7,000 fewer FBI agents
protecting our streets, and the elimination of funding for all toxic-waste
cleanup projects nationwide. The costs of this tax cut would explode just
as the baby boom generation begins to retire, Medicare is projected to
become insolvent, and Social Security begins to come under significant
strain.
Now is not the time to abandon our elderly, our children
and our future for the sake of short-term political gain. Now is the time
to adopt a budget plan that addresses critical priorities, such as Social
Security and Medicare, and takes action on the other important challenges
facing our country. Now is the time to pass common-sense gun
measures to prevent youth violence and keep guns out of the hands of
children and criminals. Now is the time to pass a strong, enforceable
Patients' Bill of Rights. Now is the time to rebuild and modernize
America's schools. And now is the time for Congress to keep its promise to
hire 100,000 new teachers to reduce class sizes.
We can meet our
most pressing national needs. That's what the American people want, and
that's what Congress should give them.

TALKING IT OVER
BY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
RELEASE: WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 199
9, AND THEREAFTER
This is an important time for the American people. Congress
is back in session, and expected to tackle many of the issues that affect our
citizens in very direct ways from taxes, to health care, retirement, educati
on, campaign finance reform and the minimum wage. We should all pay close atten
tion to the deliberations, because the decisions made by our representatives wi
11 have real and long-lasting consequences, and will determine whether we conti
nue along the road to security and prosperity, or return to the short-sighted a
nd ill-advised policies of the past.
Under my husband's leadership, this coun
try has witnessed the creation of 19.4 million new jobs, the longest peacetime
expansion, and the largest budget surplus in history. The latest economic repor
ts show unemployment dropping to 4.2 percent, the lowest rate since January of
1970.
In order not to squander this hard-won prosperity, we must commit ourse
Ives to saving Social Security and strengthening and modernizing Medicare. We m
ust pay down our debt, continue to improve educational and economic opportunity
, and inject new investment in areas still untouched by our recovery. And we mu
st do these things now.
A proposed increase in the minimum wage is a good exam
ple. Working 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, a minimum-wage worker earns just
$10,300 annually not enough to makes ends meet for many families, and below
the poverty level for a family of four. The President and Democratic members o
f Congress have proposed an increase of $1 -- from $5.15 to $6.15 an hour ov
er two years, which would boost a family's income by an additional $2,000.
Al
though critics traditionally predict that raising the minimum wage is bad for b
usiness and benefits mostly middle-income teenagers, the evidence points in the
opposite direction. Since the last increase three years ago, more than 8 milli
on new jobs have been added to the economy, and unemployment has declined. And
of those who would benefit, 70 percent are adults, and three-fifths are women,
many of whom are the sole breadwinners in their households.
Raising the minim
um wage will be considered as the Senate debates bankruptcy reform -- another b
ill that will have far-reaching implications for America. Bankruptcy reform is
in order, and anyone who can repay a portion of his debts should be required to
do so. Bankruptcy reform, however, should be balanced, and should require grea
ter responsibility from creditors and debtors alike.
As we approach the end o
f the federal government's fiscal year on Oct. 1, lawmakers must pass the 13 ap
propriations bills to fund the government for the next 12 months. As I write th
is, members of Congress are woefully underfunding programs like education and h
ealth care. In other areas, they are cutting key programs altogether.
I am ap
palled that one of the bills passed by the House cuts entirely one of the great
success stories of the last five years AmeriCorps. Since 1994, with broad b
ipartisan support, AmeriCorps has given over 100,000 young people the opportuni
ty to serve. It has enabled Americans from every walk of life to work together

ps sends exactly the wrong message to our young citizens who want to make a dif

Id explode just as the baby boom generation begins to retire, Medicare is proje
cted to become insolvent, and Social Security begins to come under significant

re for the sake of short-term political gain. Now is the time to adopt a budget

mine who is working on the Americorps event which is on Oct. 22. She
asked how much it would cost to cybercast the event. I was very quickly
out of my element -- would you mind talking to her if she gives you a

At Thursday's AmeriCorps meeting, we need to make decide if we still want
celebrity presenters to introduce the AmeriCorps Alumnae awards, and if
so, who. Melanne and I continue to think that using well-known, respected
figures will help the program gain credibility with skeptics and also show
that it has bipartisan support. The counter argument is that the program
is rather long and the celebrities would be distracting from the core
message (this is the view of the Social Office). I'm attaching the
current list of potential presenters, gleaned from those we circulated
last week's memo to, along with the current program plan.
A second question is whether either Harris or Eli need to have a speaking
role. I have pencilled them into the lunch and would expect both to be
seated on stage for the larger event, but if time is an issue, I'd rather
hear from an AmeriCorps Alum and celebrity endorsers.
I don't know if either of you can make Thursday's meeting, but I would
appreciate knowing your thoughts on both of these issues if you can't
attend.
Thanks.

It looks like a group of companies and nonprofits interested in
e-philanthropy are beginning to put together a roundtable to occur the
morning of our conference. They are eager for a tie in -- ie some overlap
in invites (which I think will occur naturally) and the opportunity to
report on their roundtable (which could occur in the second session, which
is like town hall). Several questions for you -- do you agree this is a
good idea? should we try to make this a government-sponsored event, like
the similar roundtables being hosted by the Corporation for National
Service and the Treasury Department? If so, who should sponsor? If not,
should we get any folks from the agencies into the planning process or
just stay out of it?
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Subject: Amendment to Eliminate AmeriCorps Grants Defeated in Senate
Just a little while ago, the Senate voted 61 - 38 to defeat an amendment
that would have removed all funding for AmeriCorps grants. Sixteen
Republicans joined all Senate Democrats in voting against the amendment.
Here is the story.
Quite out of the blue, Sen. Smith (I-NH) offered an amendment that would
have taken all of the money in the VA-HUD bill for AmeriCorps grants --
$224.5 million -- and shifted that money to veterans' programs. In support
of his amendment, Sen. Smith argued strongly against "paid volunteers" and
suggested that AmeriCorps is unAmerican.
Sen. Bond (R-MO), who chairs the VA-HUD appropriations committee, argued
against the amendment, citing the value of AmeriCorps. He also pointed out
that there is no chance the President would sign a VA-HUD bill that does
not
fund AmeriCorps. Sen. Mikulski also spoke strongly against the Smith
amendment.
Last year, you may recall Sen. Sessions (R-AL) offered a similar amendment.
Sessions' amendment would have moved $33 from AmeriCorps to the space
program. That amendment failed 58-37.
Today, the vote against the Smith amendment was even bigger: 61-38.
Further, the Smith amendment was especially difficult because he pitted
AmeriCorps against the needs of veterans.
Here is the text of Harris' statement we released in response to the vote.
"As a World War II veteran, I know how important it is to support the men
and women who have given so much of themselves to defend our nation in
military service. I'm pleased the Senate also recognized the need for
supporting patriotism on the home front, the 40,000 Americans who serve
their country in AmeriCorps. Today's vote shows strong bipartisan support
for national service."
The 61 - 38 vote breaks down as follows. All 45 Senate Democrats voted
against the Smith amendment by voting yes on the motion to table. In
addition, in another show of the growing bipartisan support for AmeriCorps,
16 Republican Senators voted to defeat the amendment. They are listed
below. Sen. McCain (R-AZ) was not present and did not vote.
Bennett (UT)
Bond (MO)
Campbell (CO)
Chafee (RI)
Cochran (MS)
Collins (ME)
DeWine (OH)
Grassley (IA)
Hagel (NE)
Hatch (UT)
Jeffords (VT)
McConnell (KY)
Roberts (KS)
Santorum (PA)
Specter (PA)
Stevens (AK)
When the Senate completes action on the VA-HUD bill, it will move to the
House-Senate conference to resolve differences between the two bills --
including of special interest the differences in funding for the national
service programs. We will keep you up-to-date on important developments.

deployed from the Central Region Campus in Denver to Raleigh on Monday,

> * working with the State Department of Commerce to collect food and
> donations to be shipped to Greenville, NC (a badly hit area)
> * setting up a food bank in Greenville

Upcoming projects include the following:

V
* A team of St. Louis Safety Corps members have been asked to lead a

* Corporation for National Service Promise Fellow Celia Farr is also

V
V
* The State Commission is talking with the Governor's office to create

V
> 16 NCCC Team Leaders from the Southeast campus in Charleston, SC are

>
managers for disaster survivors and are conducting damage assessments.

V
In New Jersey, we are in the midst of negotiating the best possible

Hi Anne -- how are you? We've been cranking away on both the AmeriCorps
event and the Philanthropy Conference. I wanted to get your advice about
possible invitees to the philanthropy conference, which I'm sure you can
imagine is way oversubscribed.
There are so many Rockefeller funds and foundations -- who specificallly
should we invite? (In general, we are inviting the top person at a
foundation.) I should add that David Rockefeller, Jr. is on the list as
well as yourself.
We have both Frank Smith and Andrea Camp from the Institute for Civil
Society -- who should be invited?
I'm not sure we have room for any of them, but in the New Donors area, you
suggested several interesting people -- can you prioritize Elise Miller,
Lynne Twist, Sandra Hernandez, and Josh Mailman?
Thanks for your help.

Maggie and Bill aren't on AmeriCorps so far. Also if you want to catch
Maggie about the book her number at CDF is 662-3609 or you can reach her
through main line by asking for Marion's number 628-8787.

Also - DPC suggests (correctly, I think) that we run the names by the VP's
office and Sosnik. I can run them over to Doug, and I would have
MaryEllen get them to Charles Berson to look at. Someone thought he might
have aproblem with Powell, but I can't imagine that. I told them it would
be almost impossible to do a service event of this magnitude without him.
Also - when we have a consensus, Capricia and I think Melanne should touch
base with HRC before any calls are made.
Let me know if there is anything else I can do.

invitation and agreed to seriously consider it. He will call me in a
"couple of days." I mentioned both the event and the luncheon and that
Mrs. Leavitt would be welcome to join him.

AmeriCorps Anniversary Celebration
The President and First Lady will be hosting a major celebration in honor of the Fifth
Anniversary of AmeriCorps on October 20 at 1:30 pm. This will be a 1,000 person event,
attended by AmeriCorps members and alumni, Congress people and staff, corporate supporters,
national nonprofit organizations, and other friends of the program. The event kicks off activities
around the country to recognize the contributions of this signature program of the President.
The centerpiece of the program will be the presentation of awards to AmeriCorps alumni in four
categories:
Getting Things Done
Common Ground
Community Strengthening
Leadership
Award winners have been selected by the Corporation for National Service through a
competitive process, from almost 400 entries. They will receive a silver medal.
Each award winner will be introduced by a well-known person who exemplifies the category
who will speak for 2 - 3 minutes. They will be seated on the podium with the President and First
Lady. Our first choices of speakers are:
Colin Powell
Coretta Scott King
Jerry Yang
Governor Levitt
The ceremony will be preceded by a small lunch with the First Lady (about 100 people). Our
speakers would be included in the lunch, which starts at noon.

We are working with DPC on deliverables for the AmeriCorps anniversary
event on the 20th and the main idea in the works is the development of an
AmeriCorps alumni network that would work on issues of national priority,
like mentoring, housing, and disaster relief. CNS needs $1 million in
their discretionary pot (subtitle H) to do this -- We're hoping that the
negotiations over their budget can preserve room to get the initiative off
the ground. It's not a huge amount of money, but I know that
discretionary money is always suspect
