The 1994 convention will be held April 20-22 at the Marriott Hotel in Anaheim, California.
Specifically, Mrs. Clinton would speak for approximately 20-30 minutes on the morning of
Thursday, April 21 in a session beginning at 8:00 a.m. and concluding by 10:00 a.m. We would
be honored to have Mrs. Clinton share with us her concerns for, and plans to improve the
lifestyle of America's children. This is a subject in which all those attending will share equal
interest.
I will follow up with you to assess the First Lady's availability.
By the way, Ann is trying to arrange a video taped message from President and Mrs. Clinton for
use in opening the 1993 telethon. Broadcast "live" from Disneyland, this year's show will be
June 5 and 6, 1993. I look forward to working with you on both these matters.

Dear Patti:
Here are the names of six individuals we have chosen from our group to ask questions of
Mrs. Clinton. I have provided a short biography of each and, as you requested, topics
they propose she address. Not all of these topics will be covered. We have only allowed
for one question per person and may not even be able to accomplish that, based on our
conversation this morning. On the other hand, we have scheduled 45 minutes live
satellite time if Mrs. Clinton would be willing to address all six questions.
Our expectation is for the First Lady to take 15 minutes addressing the group, touching
on her past involvement with CMN in Little Rock, then sharing her concerns for, and
plans to improve the lifestyle of, America's children. We expect some 800 - 1000 people
to attend. There will be a mixture of children's hospital administrators and staff, TV and
radio news people from throughout North America, and many of the nation's corporate
leaders. You may refer to Joseph Lake's letter of May 7, 1993 (copy attached) for
further information about CMN.
We need confirmation from you as to whether we can do a one-way feed with IFB
(phone line) talk-back for Mrs. Clinton to hear the questions, and also whether she
would be willing to go to Keystone Communications' studio (400 North Capitol NW,
suite 177) for the broadcast. These two things combined would save CMN approximately
$10,000 in costs and would be greatly appreciated. You can reach me tomorrow prior to
9:00 a.m. Eastern at my home (801) 571-2530, or at the Anaheim Marriott Hotel
Marquis Room I (714) 750-8000 tomorrow afternoon.
