Cohen National Editor Gannett News Service 1000 Wilson Boulevard, 10th Floor Arlington, VA 22229-0001 May 13, 1999 Dear Mr. Cohen: I would like to express my deep concern for the manner in which reporter Billy House researched and drafted the wire story run by the Gannett News Service entitled "Hillary's trips: Public picks up a tab it's not allowed to see". Mr. House's story is based in part on a conversation he had Wednesday with Ms. Susan Elbow, a Public Affairs Officer in the Bureau of European Affairs at the Department of State. The essential problem with the article is that he attributes quotes to Ms. Elbow which she made in a wholly different context - in response to different questions from those which appeared in the article. At other points, Mr. House attributes "facts" to Ms. Elbow which she never even discussed with him. According to Ms. Elbow, she explained to Mr. House that the State Department is responsible for some aspects of the First Lady's travel overseas but referred him back to the White House in order to get the full picture. Having looked into the matter, what I can tell you is that when the First Lady travels overseas, all relevant agencies contribute their support, as is the case with other traveling senior U.S. government officials (the President, the Vice President, elc.). For example: the Department of Defense provides (and pays for) the aircraft; the Department of Treasury assumes the cost of accompanying Secret Service personnel (as is the case wherever the First Lady may be including in Washington); the White House, of course, continues to pay the salaries of accompanying White House personnel. As for the State Department, we assume the per diem costs for the White House staff accompanying the First Lady. This includes hotel and meal expenses. The State 05/14/99 08:01 FAR U.S. UU3 Department also pays the salaries of Embassy staff dedicated to supporting the visit of senior U.S. officials (including the First Lady), and picks up some of the incidental costs on the ground during the visit. In sum, the First Lady's overseas travel is treated the same way as is the travel of all senior government officials. Salary costs continue to be paid by the parent agencies, including the White House. The Departments of Defense, Treasury and State all pick up a substantial portion of the costs. For the State Department in particular, we support the First Lady's travel because it promotes our foreign policy objectives. As for the overall subject matter of the wire story, I disagree with the basic premise of Mr. House's article. Secretary Albright has often asked the First Lady to undertake overseas missions to promote American values and interests around the world. The Secretary has done this not only because she believes that the First Lady is simply our best goodwill Ambassador, but because Mrs. Clinton's travel is geared towards the achievement of specific U.S. foreign policy objectives. For example, this week in the Balkans, the First Lady is demonstrating our solidarity with the refugees and with the Front Line states surrounding Kosovo, as well as underscoring our determination to continue NATO's air campaign until our objectives have been achieved. The First Lady is also a tireless advocate in favor of improving the status of women and protection of children around the world. I would be very grateful to you for correcting the record on this important matter. Sincerely, Danple James P.

New York points Graphic: On GGN By BILLY HOUSE Gannett News Service WASHINGTON Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has been an on-again, off-again non-traditional first lady, is certainly non-traditional when it comes to flying around the globe on her own. As she contemplates a political career of her own after her husband's ends, she continues to rack up the foreign trips more often than not unaccompanied by the president. The first lady's visits this week to Ireland and England, then on to Albania and Macedonia to visit refugee camps, will bring to 62 the number of countries she has visited on 20 solo trips abroad since her husband took office in 1993. When traveling with the president, the first lady has visited just 49 countries. Her solo destinations have included Russia and China, Egypt and Brazil, El Salvador and Sri Lanka. Occasionally, she takes along first daughter Chelsea, now a Stanford University sophomore, as she did during this spring-break's 12-day trip to North Africa. That trip included a overnight stay in the Moroccan desert, complete with a camel ride, a tour of Roman ruins in Tunisia and a jaunt through Cairo's bazaar. Her globetrotting is setting travel records for U.S. first ladies. Barbara Bush took two solo trips in four years. Nancy Reagan traveled abroad without the president only three times in eight years. She's even eclipsed the number of countries visited by her heroine, Eleanor Roosevelt over Roosevelt's entire lifetime. Roosevelt even counting her service as U.N. ambassador under President Harry Truman visited only 53 countries during her lifetime, say researchers at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt presidential library in Hyde Park, N.Y. The cost of all the foreign travel by the first lady is unclear, as White House and State Department officials disagree on exactly how expenses are budgeted for her travel. Public accountability watchdogs, who monitor how taxpayer dollars are spent, say it would be a stretch to suggest Mrs. Clinton's foreign travel should be limited simply because she is considering running for the New York Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan next year. Still, Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y., admits that, Taking off for Ireland is totally consistent with running for the Senate in New York. The latest tour, like most of Mrs. Clinton's foreign travel, has been designated by the president as an official diplomatic mission. Toby Graff, a spokeswoman for the first lady, referred questions about the tabs to the State Department, which she says handles billing details on such trips. But Susan Elbow, a press officer for the State Department's European Press Office, responded Wednesday: ``I can't believe they said that. It doesn't work that way at all. Instead, Elbow noted the first lady travels on her own plane, an Air Force Boeing 707, brings along her own press aides and other staff, and that most of what they do is paid for by the White House. That includes sending staff members to countries in advance to make arrangements for events. The U.S. Embassy in each nation may provide some help in arranging such things as hotel accommodations and contracting for ground travel, but otherwise the White House pays the tab, Elbow said. `Security that's what gets to be expensive, Elbow said, referring to round-the-clock protection by the Secret Service. But concerns about security, she said, preclude officials from ever revealing many details of a trip's costs. Follow-up efforts to get the first lady's staff to clarify who handles the billing for such trips were unsuccessful. That's a blanket (excuse) Kent Cooper, co-founder of Public Disclosure Inc., an Internet technology consulting company that deals with money and politics, said of the security claims for not divulging details of costs. He said he suspects the White House, in fact, does have detailed records of who's paying for what and how much, and that those should be available for the public to review. Is it (Mrs. Clinton's travel) something to be concerned about or not?'' he said. That's hard to determine especially without knowing the costs, he said. And then, Cooper asked, how do you judge the value? Is a million dollars worth it, in good will to a country? I can't say, Cooper added. Brian Backstrom, vice president of CHANGE-NY, New York state's largest taxpayers' organization, said the first lady's foreign travels might be a good thing for America, if she is helping to restore a national image tarnished by her husband's scandals. I think there is some justification for being a good-will ambassador for the country, Backstrom said. But certainly the public should be given some way to measure the benefits of these trips vs. the costs. But he added, I'm amazed they won't let taxpayers know how their money is being spent. President Clinton said at a Tuesday night dinner of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights that his wife's trip to the Balkans will be to clarify our compassion and concern for the predominantly Muslim Kosovar Albanians who've been driven from their homes and seen their loved ones murdered. Earlier, the first lady left for Ireland and where she spoke Wednesday at the National University of Ireland, celebrating its 150th anniversary. From there, she traveled to Belfast for the groundbreaking of a playground for children exposed to violence in Northern Ireland. On Thursday, Mrs. Clinton is scheduled to address a Vital Voices Conference in Belfast of women involved in efforts to curb tensions between Protestants and Catholics. Afterward, she had plans to go to London to speak at a conference about human rights for children. **** filed by: GN-F(--) on 05/12/99 at 15:32EDT **** **** printed by: WHPR (SCOH) on 05/13/99 at 16:11EDT **** 05/13/99 17:35 FAX 004 May 13, 1999 MEMORANDUM TO: PA - Jim Foley FROM: EUR/PPA - Susan Elbow SUBJECT: Inaccurate Quotations in Gannett News Item On Wednesday afternoon, I took a call from a reporter who said that the White House Press Office had referred him to me. I was surprised by the referral and said I didn't know what it was about. When he said he was calling to find out the costs of the First Lady's travel, I said the issue of costs was complicated and that I really thought the White House was in a better position to know the overall picture. I referred him back to the White House. This was the context of our conversation. Not one of the quotes attributed to me is accurate as presented. In explaining why I didn't think I could answer the question, I said that costs were shared, that the total figure depended upon what you included, i.e. staff preparation time, security, etc. I said lots of parties were involved and different parts of the government paid for different things. I gave two specific examples to illustrate how the situation can vary. I said when there is presidential travel, for example, we don't pay for the plane and when congress people travel we get fund sites for certain expenses. I went on to say that State almost always provides support of one kind or another. For the total picture on the First Lady's travel, however, I thought the White House was a better source. The first phrase in quotation marks I may have said, but in response to the White House referring a question on First Lady Travel costs to State, not in response to specific billing details on such trips. I never said the First Lady travels on her own Boeing 707. I have no idea what kind of planes the White House uses. I never used the phrase "the White House pays the tab." I probably said something to the effect that if one included everything, then most likely the White House paid for the bulk of the costs. I did not say security was expensive, and made no reference to the secret service as paraphrased in the article. 05/13/99 17:35 FAX LO 005 The quotes totally misrepresent the substance and tone of our conversation. In addition, I did not give the journalist my name. I understood that I was referring the call elsewhere for an answer. cc: EUR/PPA: JMurray 05/13/99 11:29 FAX 002 First Lady's Travel Secretary Albright has often asked the First lady to undertake overseas missions to promote American values and interests around the world. The Secretary has done this not only because she believes that the First Lady is simply the best goodwill Ambassador this country has, but because Mrs. Clinton's travel in each case is geared towards the achievement of specific U.S. foreign policy objectives. For example, this week in Albania and Macedonia, the First Lady is demonstrating our solidarity with the refugees and with the Front Line states, as well as underscoring our determination to continue NATO's air campaign until our objectives have been achieved. The First Lady is also a tireless advocate in favor of improving the status of women and protection of children around the world. When the First Lady travels overseas, all relevant USG agencies contribute their support, as is the case with other traveling senior USG officials (POTUS, VP, etc.). the Department of Defense provides (and pays for) the aircraft; 05/13/99 11:29 FAX 003 the Department of Treasury assume the cost of accompanying Secret Service personnel (as is the case wherever the First Lady may be -- including in Washington); the White House, of course, continues to pay the salaries of accompanying WH personnel. As for the State Department, we assume the per diem costs for the White House staff accompanying the First Lady. This includes hotel and meals expenses. The State Department also pays the salaries of Embassy staff dedicated to supporting the visit of senior USG officials (including the First Lady), and picks up some of the incidental costs (ex. transport for WH staff) on the ground during the visit. In sum, the First Lady's overseas travel is treated the same way as is the travel of all senior USG officials. Salary costs continue to be paid by the parent agencies, including the White House. DoD, Treasury and State all pick up a substantial portion of the costs. We do so because the First Lady's travel promotes our foreign policy objectives. bc-hillary Hillary's trips: Public picks up a tab it's not allowed to see Eds: Special attn. New York points Graphic: On GGN By BILLY HOUSE Gannett News Service WASHINGTON Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has been an on-again, off-again non-traditional first lady, is certainly non-traditional when it comes to flying around the globe on her own. As she contemplates a political career of her own after her husband's ends, she continues to rack up the foreign trips more often than not unaccompanied by the president. The first lady's visits this week to Ireland and England, then on to Albania and Macedonia to visit refugee camps, will bring to 62 the number of countries she has visited on 20 solo trips abroad since her husband took office in 1993. When traveling with the president, the first lady has visited just 49 countries. Her solo destinations have included Russia and China, Egypt and Brazil, El Salvador and Sri Lanka. Occasionally, she takes along first daughter Chelsea, now a Stanford University sophomore, as she did during this spring-break's 12-day trip to North Africa. That trip included a overnight stay in the Moroccan desert, complete with a camel ride, a tour of Roman ruins in Tunisia and a jaunt through Cairo's bazaar. Her globetrotting is setting travel records for U.S. first ladies. Barbara Bush took two solo trips in four years. Nancy Reagan traveled abroad without the president only three times in eight years. She's even eclipsed the number of countries visited by her heroine, Eleanor Roosevelt over Roosevelt's entire lifetime. Roosevelt even counting her service as U.N. ambassador under President Harry Truman visited only 53 countries during her lifetime, say researchers at the Franklin Delano Roosevelt presidential library in Hyde Park, N.Y. The cost of all the foreign travel by the first lady is unclear, as White House and State Department officials disagree on exactly how expenses are budgeted for her travel. Public accountability watchdogs, who monitor how taxpayer dollars are spent, say it would be a stretch to suggest Mrs. Clinton's foreign travel should be limited simply because she is considering running for the New York Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Daniel Patrick Moynihan next year. Still, Rep. Maurice Hinchey, D-N.Y., admits that, Taking off for Ireland is totally consistent with running for the Senate in New York. The latest tour, like most of Mrs. Clinton's foreign travel, has been designated by the president as an official diplomatic mission. Toby Graff, a spokeswoman for the first lady, referred questions about the tabs to the State Department, which she says handles billing details on such trips. But Susan Elbow, a press officer for the State Department's European Press Office, responded Wednesday: ``I can't believe they said that. It doesn't work that way at all. Instead, Elbow noted the first lady travels on her own plane, an Air Force Boeing 707, brings along her own press aides and other staff, and that most of what they do is paid for by the White House. CNOT TRUE) That includes sending staff members to countries in advance to make arrangements for events. The U.S. Embassy in each nation may provide some help in arranging such things as hotel accommodations and contracting for ground travel, but otherwise the White House pays the tab, Elbow said. `Security that's what gets to be expensive, Elbow said, referring to round-the-clock protection by the Secret Service. But concerns about security, she said, preclude officials from ever revealing many details of a trip's costs. Follow-up efforts to get the first lady's staff to clarify who handles the billing for such trips were unsuccessful. That's a blanket (excuse) Kent Cooper, co-founder of Public Disclosure Inc., an Internet technology consulting company that deals with money and politics, said of the security claims for not divulging details of costs. He said he suspects the White House, in fact, does have detailed records of who's paying for what and how much, and that those should be available for the public to review. Is it (Mrs. Clinton's travel) something to be concerned about or not?'' he said. That's hard to determine especially without knowing the costs, he said. And then, Cooper asked, how do you judge the value? ``Is a million dollars worth it, in good will to a country? I can't say, Cooper added. Brian Backstrom, vice president of CHANGE-NY, New York state's largest taxpayers' organization, said the first lady's foreign travels might be a good thing for America, if she is helping to restore a national image tarnished by her husband's scandals. ``I think there is some justification for being a good-will ambassador for the country, Backstrom said. But certainly the public should be given some way to measure the benefits of these trips vs. the costs. But he added, I'm amazed they won't let taxpayers know how their money is being spent. President Clinton said at a Tuesday night dinner of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights that his wife's trip to the Balkans will be to clarify our compassion and concern for the predominantly Muslim Kosovar Albanians who've been driven from their homes and seen their loved ones murdered. Earlier, the first lady left for Ireland and where she spoke Wednesday at the National University of Ireland, celebrating its 150th anniversary. From there, she traveled to Belfast for the groundbreaking of a playground for children exposed to violence in Northern Ireland. On Thursday, Mrs. Clinton is scheduled to address a Vital Voices Conference in Belfast of women involved in efforts to curb tensions between Protestants and Catholics. Afterward, she had plans to go to London to speak at a conference about human rights for children. **** filed by: GN-F (--) on 05/12/99 at 15:32EDT **** **** printed by: WHPR (SCOH) on 05/12/99 at 19:29EDT **** JUN-15-1999 17:27 LPA/PR 202 216 3034 P.01/01 U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT USAID PRESS RELEASE WASHINGTON, DC 20523 PRESS OFFICE http://www.info.usaid.gov (202) 712-4320 # 99-70 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Kim Walz Thursday, June 17, 1999 FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON OPENS NEW OPERATING ROOM AS PART OF USAID-SUPPORTED "SAFE MOTHERHOOD" PROJECT IN MOROCCO FEZ, Morocco - First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton officially opened a new operating room in a ribbon cutting ceremony at the Ibn Khatib hospital here as part of a U.S. government and Moroccan effort to improve the health and well being of Moroccan women, children and families. The operating room renovation and related training and equipment at the hospital are part of a $2.4 million U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) supported pilor program to reduce maternal mortality in Morocco in the context of the "Safe Motherhood" initiative. The operating room was renovated and equipped as a part of a comprehensive effort to reduce maternal mortality. Before the renovation, only one public hospital provided emergency obstetric care for the whole wilaya of Fez (approximately one million inhabitants). The ward itself was inaugurated last year by the Minister of Health and the U.S. Ambassador, and now handles more than 100 deliveries a month. with a potential capacity of 4000 deliveries a year. The upgrading of the hospital operating theater is the final step in the effort. This operating room is one of 4 new operating rooms able to undertake Caesarian sections as a result of this project. The Moroccan Ministry of Health and USAID have had an extremely fruitful. almost thirty-year collaboration to improve the health and well being of Moroccan women and children. In terms of health improvements the results are dramatic. The average number of children a woman has in her lifetime (total fertility rate) has decreased from 5.9 in 1979 to 3.1 in 1997. Between 1979 and 1997, the percentage of women using any kind of contraceptive method has increased from 19 percent to 59 percent. During the same period, infant mortality dropped from 91 deaths per thousand to 37. Vaccination coverage exceeded the global objective of 80 percent during every single year since 1990. Consequently. Morocco now stands as an international leader in the health sector and serves as a model for other countries. The maternal mortality rate is 228 per 100,000 live births (308 in rural areas, 125 in urban areas). The Ministry of Health and USAID have been working together to improve access to high quality services for pregnant women in an effort to reduce the maternal mortality rate. To improve the quality and access of health services. a pilot project to introduce emergency obstetric care in two regions, including the area of Fez, has been undertaken by the MOH with support from USAID. A total of 52 health facilities have been upgraded and equipped, with intensive training of health care providers [0 improve their skills. The U.S. government announced earlier this year it would provide $3 million to the Government of Morocco for their reproductive and child health programs for fiscal year 99. ### TOTAL P.01 Mrs. Clinton, Liz Claiborne, Others Blunt War's Hit on Balkans Kocani, Macedonia, July 27 (Bloomberg) -- Danica Georgieva's Danitex Factory almost became a war casualty last April when New York-based Liz Claiborne Inc. decided to suspend its contract with the Macedonian textile factory until the fighting stopped in nearby Kosovo. Georgieva was SO worried she'd have to lay off scores of workers who make clothes under contract to Liz Claiborne that she jumped at the chance to talk to Hillary Clinton when she saw the U.S. first lady at a reception in Skopje on May 14. I told her that she had the opportunity to save the Macedonian textile industry, said Georgieva, 40, recounting the story from her small factory, nestled amid vineyards and tobacco plantations 120 kilometers southeast of the Macedonian capital. Mrs. Clinton, fresh from an emotional visit to an overcrowded refugee camp in Macedonia, promised to do what she could to lure enough business to Macedonia to save 2,000 textile jobs. For me, those were the words of a guardian angel, Georgieva said in an interview. The first lady's advocacy is in keeping with a broader strategy of encouraging private investment in the Balkan recovery effort. World leaders on tight budgets would rather focus on giving promising projects a hand up instead of a handout. More than 65 leaders will gather in Sarajevo later this week at the region's first donor conference, to raise money and decide how to spend it. Investors Wary The leaders at the summit will focus on how to promote democracy and economic growth in the region, and entrepreneurial factories like Danitex may provide part of the answer. There isn't much time to waste; most Balkan economies are teetering on the brink of collapse. The Kosovo war came after years of ethnic warfare in the former Yugoslav states of Bosnia and Croatia had battered Balkan economies. The NATO air strikes made matters worse: transportation lines are down, communication with Belgrade is patchy, and foreign investors are wary. For Liz Claiborne, the largest U.S. maker of women's career clothing, the issue was timing. Getting clothing lines on time is critical in this business, said chief executive Paul Charron. If the spring tops arrive but the bottoms don't, we've got a huge problem and we just didn't want to risk it. After a phone call from Hillary Clinton, Liz Claiborne's Charron took a chance. He put less time-sensitive clothes manufacturing into three Macedonian plants and donated fabric remnants SO workers there could make clothing for refugees in Kosovo. Under the agreement, non-government organizations contracted with three Macedonian factories, including Georgieva's, to make refugee clothing for $3 a garment. The factories keep the money, and employees can keep their jobs. Other factories haven't been as lucky. In Stip, Macedonia, a town of 60,000 about 100 kilometers south of Skopje, the metal works factory Metalana sent its 3,000 workers to unemployment lines. Down the street, Makedonka, a state-owned fabric factory, put its 5,000 workers on leave until new contracts come through. Wal-Mart Next Mrs. Clinton went a step further last week and called Wal- Mart Stores Inc. chief executive David Glass, encouraging him to beef up his purchases in Macedonia. The idea is to encourage U.S. companies to look at the Balkans rather than Asia when they renew contracts. We're open to discussing that as long as the product is something we need, said Wal-Mart spokesman Jay Allen, confirming that Mrs. Clinton had placed the call and spoken to Glass. Mrs. Clinton sat on Wal-Mart's board of directors before resigning in 1992 when her husband was elected president. Mrs. Clinton's projects also are aimed at thanking Balkan leaders for their support during the North Atlantic Treaty Organization campaign against Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. Many Balkan leaders say it's about time. Macedonian President Kiro Gligorov, who faced fierce opposition for allowing 300,000 refugees into the country, said as much last month when he met with U.S. President Bill Clinton. It is important for stability, development and prosperity. We anticipate American support in order to speed up the democratic process in the region, Gligorov said. Sending a Message The leaders' summit Friday in Sarajevo is meant to send a message that the world is prepared to do just that. It will likely elicit pledges -- not only for the reconstruction of Kosovo -- but for efforts to integrate the region's economies. The donors conference is a show of support to provide a sense of urgency and to keep the Balkans on the radar screen, said Charles Kupchan, a European specialist at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington. `Leaders there are worried now that the bombing has stopped, SO too will international concern 1 People in the Balkans, like Danica Georgieva, say they just want an opportunity to recover from the violence and compete. We just want to show them what we're capable of, she said. If they give us a chance to get out of this hole, we'll prosper. 1 -Dina Temple-Raston in Kocani, Macedonia through the Paris newsroom/rdm/mmw/rdm Story illustration: type MAPS <Go> for a map of the region Company news: WMT US <Equity> Wal-Mart Stores Inc.

Following her tour, the First Lady met with Polish women entrepreneurs representing small and medium sized businesses to discuss the future prospects of women owned businesses in Poland. During her visit, the First Lady inspected the factory's production facilities, which produce the Caterina line of clothing in Poland. The ACUS-Caterina clothing factory has been receiving technical assistance from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). USAID has been helping to improve the management and production channels within the factory. During a roundtable discussion that followed, Mrs. Clinton had the opportunity to discuss the future of women owned businesses in Poland with representatives of the Polish Association of Women Entrepreneurs (PAWE). PAWE is funded by USAID's Firma 2000 program, which is designed to support small and medium sized enterprise development. Polish businesswomen have been successful in running and developing their own businesses for some time. One of the goals of USAID's PAWE program has been to encourage other women in Poland to stay in business. This level of encouragement has been effective. In 1989, only 3% of business owners in Poland were women. Today the number of businesses owned by women reaches 38%. The PAWE program has also helped foster changes in Polish business law while becoming an effective element of support to local development projects. -30- TOTAL P.02 U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT USAID PRESS RELEASE WASHINGTON, DC 20523 Contact: Tyler Beardsley http://www.info.usaid.gov (202) 712-4320 99-135 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, October 4, 1999 USAID TO SPONSOR MAJOR CONFERENCE IN WARSAW, POLAND TO DISCUSS REGIONAL TRANSITION TO DEMOCRACY (Warsaw, Poland) -- The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the German Marshall Fund of the United States will sponsor a major conference to review the broad lessons learned since the fall of the Soviet Union. The conference, entitled, Partners in Transition: Lessons for the next Decade, will draw high level representatives from the region covering the Baltics, Eastern Europe, and the now independent countries of the former Soviet Union. The forum, to be held in Warsaw, Poland from October 3-5, 1999, is being hosted by the Government of Poland. The conference has four major objectives: To forge sustainable partnerships between participants; To foster open dialogue to find solutions to the problems of transition; To recognize and give credit to examples of cooperation and change that have the most significant results and potential; and To create an opportunity to continue sharing the lessons of transition throughout the region. After ten years of experience in transition, reform leaders in this vast region have experienced many challenges in fostering the development of democratic systems of government and market economies while civil society undergoes great change and growth. USAID is providing this opportunity for the region's leaders of reform to share with each other their experiences in addressing these challenges. Through the open dialogue that will be fostered in the Warsaw conference, lessons may be learned from common regional concerns and the partnerships between reformers will be strengthened as a result. This will reinforce the prospects for rapid improvement in the lives of the region's people. USAID's Deputy Administrator, Harriet C. Babbitt, who will be addressing conference participants on Tuesday, October 6, 1999, said, "By convening the reformers in Warsaw, we hope to effect a better understanding of and appreciation for the steps needed for a successful transition in the region. We hope to renew the call for cooperation among the countries and people of Europe and Eurasia, and we hope to discover new ways reform leaders can continue to share their experiences in the years to come." Conference participants and speakers have been drawn from all over the region. In addition to numerous working level discussions on partner concerns, the conference is hosting many notable keynote speakers. On Monday, October 4, 1999, Polish Prime Minister, Jerzy Buzek is scheduled to deliver opening remarks to conference participants followed by a keynote address from Alexander Yakolev, an advisor to Gorbachev in the 1980's. Bulgarian President Petar Stoyanov will deliver remarks on democracy to that morning's plenary session. Other plenary session addresses include a discussion of regional social transition by USAID Deputy Administrator Babbitt and remarks on the status of economic transitions by Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Leszek Balcerowicz.
