Office of the First Lady
regret letter.
BY FAX: 202-456-6244
Dear Ms. Sagawa,
I'm approaching the First Lady for her assistance in drawing attention to a
critical issue- the growing problem of youth violence.
James Garbarino's book Lost Boys discusses this frightening problem in humane
and hopeful terms, offering well-researched analysis of its origins and specific
approaches for its prevention. As I'm sure you know, Mrs. Clinton was
impressed with Dr. Garbarino's material; he is a member of the panel on youth
violence that will be meeting with the Clintons and the Gores on Monday, May
10, to discuss youth violence.
Mrs. Clinton's audio publisher, Simon & Schuster Audio, is now bringing out the
audio version of Lost Boys.. Given the First Lady's interest and involvement in
this issue, would she be willing to record a brief introduction to the audiobook?
Her participation would greatly assist in bringing Dr. Garbarino's insights to a
wider audience, and could further help establish an informed national debate on
effective solutions.
I'll follow up with you by phone later today; I'll be in the studio and thus
unreachable most of the afternoon. You can also speak to Sally Hurst, the
associate producer for this title. Her direct number is 212-698-7070.
Thank you so much for your help.
Best
Ja Jan Werner
