Dear Mrs. Clinton:
You and Mrs. Gore have received an invitation from Dr.
Robert C. Bone, Chairman of the Cumberland University Board of
Trust and Dr. Ray Phillips, President of the college, to utilize
the campus of Cumberland University for a conference on rural
health care. Enclosed is a copy of that invitation.
As the Head of the Health Care Task Force, I hope you will
seriously consider this invitation as you set your agenda.
Tennessee, in addition to hosting some of the best health care
centers in the nation, also has a significant rural population.
This issue is important to the people of Tennessee and the
nation.
It would be on honor for Tennessee to host a Rural
Healthcare Forum for you.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
As you complete work on the President's health care proposal,
I understand that you will be scheduling briefings around the
country to explain the proposal and discuss implementation.
I have been contacted by Ms. Pat Ball, Vice President of
Strategic Development with St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville,
Tennessee. The staff at St. Thomas is very interested in
participating in one of these briefings, whether in Nashville or a
nearby city. St. Thomas is a respected hospital in the middle
Tennessee area and wants to be a leader in the effort to promote
responsible reform efforts. I would appreciate your notifying Ms.
Ball of the briefing which may be most convenient for her co-
workers. She can be reached c/o St. Thomas Hospital, P.O. Box 380,
Nashville, Tennessee, 37205; (615) 386-6629.
Your attention to this request is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
As the health care effort moves into full swing, I would like
to take the opportunity to share with you a letter recently sent to
me by Dr. Fred Hurst of Knoxville, Tennessee. Fred has been a
friend to many in Tennessee and I can assure you his offer of
assistance is genuine.
Fred has been appointed by Governor McWherter to numerous
health-related state boards and has served with honor and dignity.
If there is any position which could utilize his talents, I would
like to commend him to your attention.
Thank you for your consideration.
