Photos for book covers
Date:

Capricia Marshall
As we discussed at the last scheduling meeting, Simon & Schuster is scheduled to take
photographs of you for the cover of the entertainment book and for a new cover of Dear Socks,
Dear Buddy on Monday, April 5. (The new Dear Socks cover will give them an opportunity to
launch a new round of promotion for the book next Christmas.) Because the shoot is scheduled
so soon after you come back from your trip, I am sending this memo to get your feedback on the
planned photos in advance.
Photo 1 -- Cover of the entertainment book. The proposal is to take the photo in the 2nd floor
dining room with the table set for eight and low flowers on the table and sideboard. The
publisher has suggested you wear "dressy business" attire, something you might wear to "a small
dinner with governors' spouses." If we know the colors of your outfit in advance, we can
coordinate tableclothes and flowers.
Okay to use 2nd floor dining room
Prefer to shoot in other location
Photo 2 -- Cover of Dear Socks, Dear Buddy. Simon & Schuster suggests a casual photo
featuring you with Socks on your lap and Buddy by your side. Suggestions for location include
the solarium or the Map Room. It would have been great to do the photo outside, but we don't
think this will work due to the Easter Egg Roll. Attire would be casual (like the photo of you in
Vogue in the white shirt). You will therefore need to change clothes in between the two shoots.
Use solarium
Use Map Room
Use other location
Optional photo 3 - Back cover for the entertainment book. Per your suggestion, the plan is to
use a group photograph of the staff that works on events for the back cover of the book. Ideally
this photo will be taken outside either on the north or south portico. An alternative inside
location is being discussed as well. You have the option of being in the photograph and your
decision will affect appropriate locations (due to security issues).
Yes, I want to be in group photo
No, just staff in photo.
All photographs will be taken by Rob Clark, the photographer who has been working on the
project for Simon & Schuster.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Save America's Treasures Secks Nominations for Official Projects
National recognition program to raise profile of preservation projects across the country
(Washington, D.C., March 30, 1999) In an effort to save our nation's historic and cultural
legacy, Save America's Treasures -- a public-private partnership between the White House
Millennium Council and the National Trust for Historic Preservation - today called for nominations
for Save America's Treasures Official Projects. An Official Project designation can bring national
recognition to non-profit organizations and federal, state and local agencies, and enhance public
awareness for significant local preservation efforts.
"Save America's Treasures is helping us preserve our unique cultural heritage for future
generations," said First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, honorary chair of the Millennium Committee
to Save America's Treasures. "Whether it's the monument to the founder of your hometown, a
historic building or site, or a collection of historic books or artifacts that tell your community's
story, these treasures help us understand who we are and where we come from."
"American experience is represented not only by national symbols like the Star-Spangled
Banner, but also by the treasures in our own backyard," said Richard Moe, president of the National
Trust and co-chair of the Millennium Committee to Save America's Treasures. "By designating
Official Projects of Save America's Treasures, we can help communities across the country celebrate
their unique past and find the resources to preserve their heritage for the future."
Applicants can be non-profit organizations and federal, state or local agencies with projects
involving the preservation, restoration or conservation of historic buildings, sites, documents,
artifacts, objects, or related educational activities. Selection criteria include, but are not limited to,
the historic, cultural or architectural significance of the historic resource to be preserved, and its
intended use. Applications will be accepted and considered on an ongoing basis.

Although Official Project designation does not provide direct funding, it is the first step in
gaining eligibility for future grants through the Save America's Treasures program at the National
Trust, according to Moe. In addition, Official Projects are encouraged to use their association with
the program to enhance their own promotional and public awareness activities.
For more information on Save America's Treasures Official Project designation or to receive
an application, contact Save America's Treasures at the National Trust at 202-588-6202, or visit

About Save America's Treasures
Save America's Treasures is a public-private partnership between the White House
Millennium Council and the National Trust for Historic Preservation, dedicated to the celebration
and preservation of our nation's threatened cultural treasures for future generations, including
significant historic structures, monuments, documents, objects and collections that document and
illuminate the history and culture of the United States. The Millennium Committee to Save
America's Treasures provides guidance and expertise to the historic effort, and is led by Honorary
Chair Hillary Rodham Clinton and co-chairs Richard Moe, President of the National Trust for
Historic Preservation, and Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of former President Dwight D.
Eisenhower. As a private-sector partner to the White House Millennium Council, the National
Trust coordinates the Save America's Treasures public awareness and education campaigns and
works with two associate partners, Heritage Preservation and the National Park Foundation, to raise
funds for the most urgent preservation needs identified at the state and national levels.
About the National Trust

non-profit organization dedicated to protecting the irreplaceable. It fights to save historic buildings
and the neighborhoods and landscapes they anchor. Through education and advocacy, the National

for the future. It has six regional offices and 20 historic sites, and works with thousands of local
community groups nationwide.

"Homeownership is one of the most fundamental
vehicles for Americans to accumulate wealth.
But the cruel irony is that the land we left the

public trust makes it virtually impossible for

REPUBLICAN AGENDA
Giuliani Attacks First Lady to Combat
Falling Poll Numbers. As his approval ratings
slide, Republican New York City Mayor
Rudolph Giuliani has launched a web site
attacking First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The director of Giuliani's political action
committee, Solutions America, said the web site
would be used to raise funds for a possible
Giuliani Senate campaign. The mayor's attacks
on Mrs. Clinton come as his approval ratings
plummet due to a public outcry over the police
shooting of an unarmed African immigrant in
February. [Washington Post, 3/30/99]

After entering, the site, visitors can click

"contribute to Rudy Giuliani's federal
campaign committee."
Visitors to 'Hillary No!' are

That committee, Friends of Giuliani, is
paying for the site, which went online last week. Aides said the main goal
is to raise campaign cash beyond the mayor's traditional donor base.
"There are people around the country who I am sure have opinions about
her potential candidacy and would love to support the mayor. That is
what this is all about," said Bruce Teitelbaum, who heads the mayor's
political committee.
Giuliani has not formally declared his candidacy, but he has intensified
his fund-raising and travels in anticipation of entering the race.
The Web site is the clearest indication yet of the mayor's intentions. The
First Lady has been conferring with New York Democrats as she decides
whether to be a candidate.
"Sen. Clinton? Hillary Rodham Clinton is considering a future as a
United States Senator in New York!" the site says, foreshadowing a
potential line of attack against Clinton if she enters the race,
"With no governmental experience, never elected to any public office, her
failed health-care experiment under her belt, Mrs. Clinton now wants to
be part of the Senate. ... With no connection of any kind to New York,
Hillary has set her sights on the New York Senate seat and maybe,
probably, set her sights even higher."
But, Teitelbaum said, "We don't look at this as criticism of Hillary
Clinton." He said he wasn't sure how much money the Web site would

The site is designed and operated by Virginia-based Hockaday Donatelli
Campaign Solutions, a Republican firm that specializes in Internet
fund-raising strategies. The firm referred calls to the mayor's committee.
Harold Ickes, a long-time Democratic operative who is helping the First
Lady study a potential race, said, "It's a free world." But he added, "When
I watched Mr. Giuliani on television a few weeks ago, he said the First
Lady's [nonresidency] is not an issue and should not be an issue. So this
flies completely in the face of what the mayor himself has said."

Protect Me and Respect Me
Senator Charles Schumer - March 25, 1999
Mr. President, like many New Yorkers, I have spent a great deal of time in the aftermath
of the Amadou Diallo killing reflecting about our city, our police, our country, and our people.
During my career, I think I've been considered 8 friend of law enforcement and the
minority community. But 1 have always been troubled by the rift between minorities and the
police. And I have always felt that this rift has caused pain and harm to both communities.
It is very troubling that minorities and whites see the issue of police brutality so very
differently.
Mayor Giuliani has repeatedly reminded us that there are men, women and children,
black and white, alive today because of the work of the NYPD. That is true and New Yorkers
are proud of that fact. The Mayor and the Cardinal are also right when they state that most cops
are like the rest of us -- decent, honorable, and hardworking - and that it is wrong to judge all
cops by the actions of the bad few.
But what we all must realize is that the momentous drop in crime and the model behavior
of many officers does not uñdo the plain truth that black men and women in New York City who
have never broken the law and who should have absolutely no reason to fear law enforcement,
are all too often hassled and made to feel like lawbreakers. And that it is different for them than
for the average white person in the city.
Many whites seem to feel that widespread frisking and patting down is mall price to
pay for a steep reduction in crime. But most white people have never been frisked and have DO
conception of how pervasive the practice is.
Page -1-
03/26/MAR 30 '99- 02:37PM
P.3/7/007
But if you talk to black stock brokers on Wall Street and black lawyers -
people who wear a suit and a tie every day - to a person they have a story of. being stopped,
frisked, and harassed by a cop.
If you talk to minority co-workers or attend services at African American churches and
ask the men and women from the congregation about their interaction with the police -- they talk
of how they or their law-abiding children were stopped. questioned and searched by the police.
And they'll tell you, as they have said to me, that they know this doesn't happen often to
white people. They know that white people are treated differently.
All people, black and white, want very much for their neighborhoods to be safe and to
feel confident that when they scnd their children or grandchildren to the corner store for a carton
of milk they will come home safely. But in addition to these feelings, minorities are humiliated
and angered by the indignity of being treated differently than whites.
And if you take the time to listen, the views of minorities about the relationship they want
to have with police can be summed up in five words: "Protect me, and respect me."
Whatever facts emerge from the killing of Amidou Diallo - whether it's guilty, not
guilty, suspension, or removal - our society must deal with the underlying problem of race and
law enforcement.
There has been a great deal of rhetoric and anger in the aftermath of the Diallo shooting.
I can understand why. But I wish to take a different approach.
I offer today, what I believe are constructive solutions that transcend any one set of
circumstances and will allow both the 'protect me and respect me' parts of the equation to
coexist and even flourish.
Page -2-
03/28/MÃR 30 '99' 02:38PM
First, for the sake of the City and for the sake of the police force, the NYPD must
immediately put in place a system that more quickly gets bad cops off the street
It was well known among police, for example, that Justin Volpe, one of the cops who
tortured Abner Louima was a bad, bad seed with multiple complaints against him. It was well
known that officer Francis Livoti was a ticking time bomb years before he strangled Anthony
Baez in 1994.
The force knew it and did nothing about it. That attitude of silence, protecting your own,
sweeping problems under the rug has got to end, not only for the sake of future victims, but for
the police department itself.
The tens of thousands of good, honest, hardworking officers pay a price when the Volpes
are not removed. For that reason, it is in their interest to end any policy of silence.
The Mayor, the police chief, community leaders and church leaders should all urge police
officers to come forward when there is a bad element on the force, and it should be an honorable
action, not a shameful action, to come forward.
Second, minority recruitment at the NYPD must improve. The force is more than two-
thirds white; the city is nearly three-fifths minority.
When mostly white cops patrol high-density, minority neighborhoods resentment is
bound to follow.
The city should at last fully fund the Cadet Corps to recruit qualified, college educated
minority applicants through the City University. The program is on the books but until this crisis
was basically ignored.
Also, the City should take advantage of a program created last year by Reverend Johnny
Ray Youngblood and me to recruit and train young minority applicants through the churches and
Page -3-

P.5/7/007
to help them become police officers who will patrol the neighborhood from where they came.
Next, beyond minority recruitment, New York City should look to what works in other
places.
Two efforts stand out: Boston's Ten-Point Coalition and the military's Defense Equal
Opportunity Management Institute:
Boston had the same problems as New York: a rift between police and the African-
American community; several high profile incidents of abuse by certain officers; and clergy that
took on the role of police critics.
Their hatred exploded into the open with the stabbing death of Carol Stuart, a pregnant
white woman. The husband, Charles Stuart told police that a black man committed the crime.
The Boston Police hit the streets in full force. They stopped and searched every black
male that fit the general description. The neighborhood residents complained about the tactics,
but the crime was so horrible no one listened.
They arrested William Bennett, a black man. The husband, it was learned months later,
was the killer. Bennett was innocent
And Boston then, as New. York now, was on the verge of a meltdown.
With no place else to go, the police and the clergy agreed to stop fighting and to sit down
to develop a plan to stop crime on the one hand, and preserve dignity on the other.
They initiated a five-point contract.
The heart of it was this: The ministers and community leaders agreed to help identify
those in the neighborhood who were the real troublemakers. They had the responsibility of
telling the police who was dealing drugs and committing violent crime.
Page -4-
03/26/MÃR 30 '99- 02:38PM
The flip side is that when ministers and community leaders took responsibility and
identified the troublemakers, others were left alone. And because most crime in each
neighborhood is caused by just a few people, the use of the standard stop in frisk procedure that
the community found so oppressive greatly diminished.
If an officer was abusive or disrespectful, ministers and community leaders had an open
line to the police. The police promised action, but if they refused to address the problem the
ministers and community leaders were free to go to the media.
The plan worked. The crime rate in Boston has dropped even faster than to New York.
Serious youth crime is almost non-existent. And the important but difficult relationship between
police and the minority community is vastly improved.
The military has also found a way to confront bigotry while increasing effectiveness.
In the military, the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, developed in the
early 1970s to confront segregation and racial hostility among soldiers in Vietnam, is one of the
reasons that the armed forces is the most integrated institution in America.
The military learned that unless bigotry was ended in the anned forces, America could
not have an effective military. So by necessity they developed a program that lasts to this day.
Officers and supervisors take a courso to confront their own stereotypes and to identify
problems within their unit. They have a simple goal: change people's behavior. The rule is that
if you've got a problem with race, it better not show up in your words or actions.
DEOMI, as it is called, continuously surveys enlisted soldiers and officers about race
relations an their base. The results are made known only to the commanding officer and to
people at DEOMI. When there is a problem on a base, a mobile team of trainers moves in to
solve it.
Page -5-
03/26/MAR 30 99 02: 39PM
P.7/7/007
The model has been so successful that DEOMI has signed contracts to work with police
organizations. New York City should sign a contract as soon as possible.
This has been one of the most trying and emotional times in New York in years. We are
a city, right now, divided. No good has ever come from divisiveness. No job was ever created.
No street made safer. No school made better by pulling ourselves apart.
I worry about two things:
First, is that division in ours, the most diverse city on earth, has the potential to pull us
down.
Second; failure to deal with this problem will ultimately weaken our efforts to fight
crime and perhaps, forfeit the gains we made in crime reduction. That is unacceptable and
unnecessary given that options abound if we choose them.
New York City is undoubtedly a safer place in every neighborhood from the far end of
the Bronx to the tip of the Rockaways. But it is not necessarily a better place for every
neighborhood.
Dr. Martin Luther King taught us that "we are tied together in the single garment of
destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality. And whatever affects one directly
affects all directly."
We all love our city. Let's each side -- as hard as it is to do - put aside our frustration
and distrust 50 we can move past confrontation and collaborate constructively on solutions that
protect and respect.

U.S. Senate: For Proven Leaders, Not a Proving Ground
Senator Clinton? Hillary Rodham Clinton is considering a future as a United States
Senator in New York! With no governmental experience, never elected to any public
office, her failed health care experiment under her belt, Mrs. Clinton now wants to be
part of the Senate as we head into the next millennium. Born in Illinois and carried
to power in Arkansas, with no connection of any kind to New York, Hillary has set her
sights on the New York Senate seat and maybe probably set her sights even
higher.
That's what HillaryNo.com is all about. It is a website dedicated to the notion that we
should expect more from someone who aspires to the U.S. Senate. That the U.S.
Senate is a place for proven leaders, not a proving ground.

FYI for Marsha:
- Jay Branegan says the deadline for the essay on heros and icons is April 26.
- The Parade Magazine photo shoot is scheduled for April 5th at 11 a.m. I talked to Larry
Smith to give him the time, and told him I would get details on the shoot from you.
Is there anything I can do this week to prepare (such as talking to Gary about a room)?

BC-CLINTON-HILLARY-SENATE
Labor leaders urge Mrs. Clinton to run for Senate
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A group of influential labor leaders has urged
first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to run for the U.S. Senate from New York
in 2000, one of the leaders said Monday.
Gerald McEntee, president of the 1.3 million-member American Federation
of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) said Mrs. Clinton
expressed an "intense" interest in seeking the New York Senate seat being
vacated by retiring Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan. 1
"I think she's the best candidate for New York, McEntee told a group of
reporters. "I think she'll win.
Mrs. Clinton has said she is weighing the prospect of making a bid for
the state's Senate seat, where she could face a contest against New York
City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, a Republican. 9
McEntee said Mrs. Clinton did not give any indication of when she might
make her decision in the White House meeting that was held at the initiative
of the labor leaders a couple of weeks ago.
Also attending the meeting were AFL CIO President John Sweeney,
Communications Workers of America President Morton Bahr and Union of
Needletrades, Industrial and Textile Employees President Jay Mazur, he said. 1
McEntee said Mrs. Clinton would get solid support from New York labor
leaders, adding that he thought her views are more progressive than those of
the president.

Jody Turk, FOX Newschannel, 212-301-3616
How are HRC's trips funded? (Ex: NY political trips, vacation to Utah, Africa trip)
MB
I spoke with Dawn Shirwa in Counsel's Office, and was told that the DNC reimburses
taxpayers for political trips, Congress appropriates a certain amount for presidential
vacations, and official trips are funded just as the President's trips are. (This is just
background info for you. I haven't given any info to FOX.) FYI: We've gotten a
call from an angry constituent who would like to know who's paying for Hillary and
Chelsea's "vacation" in Africa. The DNC has gotten similar calls.
Kelly Brock, Essence Awards, 818-508-9001
vo/
Following up on the request for HRC to present. Wanted to tell you that the Essence
Awards are like the Kennedy Center Honors for the African American community.
Have you talked to HRC about this yet? Essence needs an answer this week. (Maybe we
can have her send a video?)
Terry Clevenger, Lifetime, 203-227-0882 Linda Ellerbee is participating,
Following up on the request for HRC to be interviewed for their "I Am Beautiful"
program. They would like to shoot in early April (maybe the 5th), and need some type of
answer this week. Have you spoken with HRC about this?
Allegra, 860-685-6673
Allegra is the graduate student who spoke with you a few weeks ago about the First Lady.
You mentioned a press conference that HRC gave before the mid-term elections that
would be particularly helpful to her. (You called it the "pink dress press conference.")
Allegra would like a transcript. If you can give me the topic of the speech or where it
was given, I can track it down for her.
Kiki Moore, Mrs. Gore's former press secretary, 638-5616
Left a message for you, but did not say what it was about.
FYI: Alma Taft would like to cover HRC's visit to Morocco. I will send her the schedule
of public events when available.
One more FYI: I did miss NBC Nightly News' coverage of HRC last night. (I said on the
last fax that they hadn't done anything.) They did, in fact, do a short piece that said
exactly the same things CNN and ABC reported.

these for you.
Debra Rosenberg, Newsweek, 626-2089
Has tried to book a room at the Pulleman Hotel in Marrakech, but they are full. Have you
blocked off any rooms for press? If not, do you have other suggestions?
Also wants to make sure she will be part of the local pool when she arrives.
More questions about how Mrs. Clinton's trips are paid for:
Phylicia Hanes, Lawrence (KS) Journal, 785-832-7173
A reader would like to know who's paying for this trip.
David Watson, Winston Salem-Journal, 336-727-7395
Is this an "official" trip? Is there a policy to determine which trips are reimbursed?
Senator Lautenberg and Congressman Bill Brey's offices also called with questions, but
Shirley called them back.
Bob Pierson, AFP, 414-0551
His photographers were having some problems with access to events. He had sent over
their names to you last week. Can you make sure these guys are added to the local pool?
Tunis: Abdelfattah Belaid
Rabat: Abdelhak Senna
Questions/FYI for Julie:
Betty Monkman has gotten a press inquiry about a new book on White House China
coming out in May. The Philadelphia Inquirer and Traditional Home Magazine would
like to talk to interview her. Also, a Grand Rapids (MI) paper would like to interview
her about the renovations in the State Dining Room. (Their main focus is the new carpet,
which was done by a local company.) Both of these requests seem harmless. Do you
want me to follow up, or should I ask them to wait for your return?
FYI for Toby:
I'll update the schedule tonight, and will fax it over for final approval before I go. Just
leave me a message in the morning (your time) to let me know if it's okay to send out.
I'll take care of the Morocco schedule tomorrow. Talk to you then!

U.S. First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton Praises Public-Private Partnership of
Moroccan Ministry of Health, Pfizer Inc and Clark Foundation to Eliminate Blinding Trachoma
-- Program includes donations of 1 million doses of antibiotic and $750,000 cash --
TASSELMANTE, Morocco, March 29 Today in this trachoma-endemic village, U.S. First Lady
Hillary Rodham Clinton praised a model public-private partnership that is helping Morocco achieve
its goal of eliminating blinding trachoma throughout the country by the end of next year.
"Trachoma afflicts millions of people in the developing world, particularly women and children," said
Mrs. Clinton. "I am so proud that American industry, and companies like Pfizer, and charitable
organizations, such as the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation, are taking the lead to combat this
devastating disease, working closely with Morocco and other governments that have established
and effective public health infrastructures."
Mrs. Clinton joined with the Moroccan Ministry of Health to announce the donation of 1 million
doses of the Pfizer antibiotic Zithromax® and $750,000 cash to support Morocco's
trachoma-control efforts. The donation was made through the International Trachoma Initiative
(ITI), a joint project of Pfizer Inc and the Edna McConnell Clark Foundation (EMCF). The ITI,
working with public health officials, has launched an international program to combat trachoma, the
world's leading cause of preventable blindness. In addition to cash and product, the program will
include strengthening health education and advocacy efforts. Initially the ITI program will support
national programs in five trachoma-endemic countries. In addition to Morocco, the other candidates
for the program are Ghana, Mali, Tanzania and Vietnam.
Zithromax®, the long-acting Pfizer antibiotic, was recently recommended for the treatment of
trachoma by the World Health Organization (WHO). Since the 1950's, standard therapy has
been tetracycline ointment applied directly to the eyes twice daily, usually for six weeks. With
Zithromax, however, a single annual oral dose treats active infection and is administered under
trained supervision, resulting in much higher compliance rates.
"Pfizer is dedicated to discovering new medicines that help people live longer, healthier lives. But
FinalPress.doc
Page 2
our mission isn't complete until patients have access to the innovative medicines we develop," said
William C. Steere, Chairman and CEO, Pfizer Inc. "This trachoma initiative is our largest
international effort to provide our product to patients in need. In the U.S., we make our products
available to uninsured low-income patients though a public-private initiative called "Sharing the
Care."
The ITI will support the implementation of the WHO-approved public health approach that includes
surgery, antibiotics, face washing and environmental change (SAFE) to combat trachoma. The ITI
will provide an estimated 1 million doses of Pfizer-donated Zithromax; treat approximately 470,000
people (almost three-quarters of whom are children) and expand access to and acceptability of
surgical services to preserve the sight of those at risk of blindness.
"The donation of Zithromax, along with implementation of the full SAFE strategy, will help us to
reduce significantly the number of new trachoma cases in Morocco and save the sight of many of
our citizens,"
said Dr. Abdelwahed el Fassi, Morocco's Minister of Public Health. "We have been proud of our
two-year pilot effort, which we undertook with Pfizer and EMCF support, and are very excited to
expand the program."
"Public health workers and ophthalmologists have studied this disease over the last 12 years, and
we understand the importance of traditional methods of trachoma control -- good hygiene, available
water and health education," says Joseph Cook, M.D. Executive Director of the ITI. "Trachoma was
eliminated in the West in the early part of the 20th Century through these traditional methods alone.
Now, those hygienic and environmental changes, combined with the use of Zithromax and minor
surgery in advanced cases of the disease, can eliminate blinding trachoma as a public health
problem in the rest of the world."
Trachoma in Morocco
Trachoma is the world's leading cause of preventable blindness. 6,780 Moroccans have trichiasis
(advanced stage of the disease) and need immediate attention to prevent blindness. 265,000
children have the disease and may lose their vision if they do not receive treatment, and an
additional 1.5 million people are at immediate risk of getting the disease. Twenty years ago,
trachoma was endemic throughout Morocco. Today, through a combination of economic
development and concerted public health intervention, the disease is now limited to the five
southern provinces: Tata, Zagora, Ouarzazate, Errachidia and Figuig.
FinalPress.doc
Page 3
For the past two years, Pfizer and EMCF supported field-testing of the SAFE strategy, including use
of Zithromax, in Morocco. Over 10,000 patients and family members were treated and millions
were reached as part of a country-wide public health campaign, demonstrating the feasibility of a
comprehensive community treatment effort.

Trachoma is a bacterial infection of the upper eyelid. The WHO estimates that the disease infects
more than 150 million people worldwide; six million people have been blinded or are at immediate
risk of becoming blind by trachoma. An additional 540 million -- nearly ten percent of the world's
population -- are at risk of developing the disease. The disease is most common in areas where
poverty, poor hygiene and poor access to water are pervasive, and is endemic in parts of Africa,
Asia, Australia and Central and South America. Trachoma has been virtually eliminated in North
America and Europe.
Bacteria are easily transmitted from person to person, particularly within families with small
children. The bacteria cause a sticky discharge from the eyes and nose. Children often transmit this
discharge to others through frequent contact. Flies are attracted to the sticky discharge and may
pass the bacteria from person to person.
Blindness occurs only after multiple infections, usually when individuals are in their 30s or 40s.
Women are 2-3 times more likely than men to be blinded by trachoma, perhaps because of their
close contact with children.
Without adequate treatment, the inner eyelid becomes scarred. After repeated infection and
scarring, the eyelid will turn inward, causing the eyelashes to rub against and damage the cornea,
which leads to blindness. Because the disease causes blindness in the most productive years of a
person's life, trachoma can ruin the economic well being of entire families and communities.
Pfizer has a long history of corporate citizenship, with many domestic and international philanthropic
programs focusing on access to health care, education and community development. The company
was an early pioneer in antibiotic production and continues intensive research in anti-infectives.
Both now and in the past, Pfizer has been committed to bringing medicines to those in need. The
Zithromax donation to prevent blindness due to trachoma is Pfizer's largest and most significant
international philanthropic venture.
Over the past 20 years, The Edna McConnell Clark Foundation's Program for Tropical Disease
Research has sought to improve health in developing nations by concentrating on diseases that

affect millions of people but that modern medical science has largely neglected. These include the
two major infectious causes of blindness: onchocerciasis, better known as "river blindness," and
trachoma, which is ten times more prevalent than river blindness. Through its sponsorship of the
ITI, Clark will contribute funds as well as operational research, technical expertise, and the ability to
mobilize important parties in support of trachoma control.
The ITI's approach to combating trachoma through a comprehensive public health strategy has
attracted support from other organizations, including the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation and the
William H. Gates Foundation.

TRIP OF FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
TO EGYPT, TUNISIA, AND MOROCCO
Washington, D.C. - On Saturday, March 20, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton will embark on
a nearly two-week trip to Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco. Throughout the trip, the First Lady will
underscore the commitment of the United States to strengthening the bonds of friendship
between the United States and these nations - and the bonds of understanding between the
United States and the entire Arab world.
In Egypt, the First Lady will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty
and the breathtaking culture that defines that nation and its distinguished past. In Tunisia, the
First Lady will hear about Tunisians' remarkable record on women's. And in Morocco, she will
learn how their experiment with political pluralism, religious tolerance, and the growth of civil
society can serve as a model. Throughout the trip, the First Lady will see firsthand the difference
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has made in meeting challenges -- bringing
girls education and providing microcredit, health care and other tools of opportunity to citizens
who need them.
Later this year, the First Lady will complete her tour of the region with visits to two other
important allies - Israel and Jordan. (Because of the election in Israel and the mourning of His
Majesty King Hussein in Jordan, it wasn't appropriate to schedule trips there at this time.)
The First Lady's trip builds on years of her active involvement - both in the United States and
around the world -- in ensuring access to safe, high quality family planning services and
health care; encouraging the economic empowerment of women; and working with NGOs on
issues of civic participation, human rights and social investment.
Below are some highlights of the First Lady's upcoming trip:
Egypt (March 21 - 25)
- Emphasize efforts to empower girls and women by: visiting the New Horizons Program, a
project sponsored by the Egyptian government and USAID which uses creative means to provide
basic life skills training and reproductive health education to girls and young women; and
participating in an event to highlight microenterprise programs which are contributing to the
economic development of Egyptian women.
- Participate in a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open the new Surgery Hospital in Cairo,
where she will announce a new program to improve the health of mothers and babies. In Luxor,
she will visit a health clinic, where she will announce new resources for family planning.
- Deliver a major address on promoting religious tolerance and encouraging the development of
civil society.
- The First Lady will tour many historic and important religious, cultural and archeological sites,
including: the Citadel and Bab Zuweila Gate in Cairo; and the Karnak Temple and the Valley of
the Kings and Queens in Luxor.
Tunisia (March 25 - 27)
- Visit an urban development center in one of the largest and poorest neighborhoods in Tunis,
which provides education and training services for youth and runs a successful microcredit
program, primarily for women.
- Participate in an event to highlight the National Solidarity Fund, a fund created by Tunisian
President Ben Ali and financed solely by voluntary contributions, to provide assistance for
infrastructure development, education, housing, and health centers in hundreds of communities
around the country.
- In Tunis, deliver a major address to hundreds of women and representatives of women's
organizations on the progress made and additional work to be done to improve and expand
women's rights.
- Travel to Kairouan, where she will visit a family planning clinic and tour local religious sites.
Morocco (March 27 - April 1)
- Deliver the keynote address at an international conference on education, Education and the
Private Sector, A Development Imperative. This conference, which hopes to encourage private
sector involvement in supporting girls' education, was inspired by the May 1998 USAID-
sponsored international conference on girls education in Washington, D.C. which stressed girls
education as a key element in a country's development
- Visit a rural health clinic where a Peace Corps Volunteer works with community members to
ensure that women are informed of family planning options and safe-birthing techniques, and
where mothers learn to detect and prevent frequent childhood illnesses.
- Deliver remarks in Marrakesh emphasizing the importance of religious and cultural tolerance in
the pursuit of a civil society.
- In Fez, inaugurate a maternity ward operating room at the Ibn El Khatib Hospital, one of seven
maternity hospitals renovated through the USAID/Morocco Safe Motherhood Initiative.
- Visit a USAID-supported low-income housing site and announce additional support that will
ensure that residents are given the opportunity to become property owners and participate in their
community.
- Participate in a discussion with non-governmental leaders who are active in the development of
civil society and who play a key role in Morocco's progress as a democratic Islamic country.
- Attend a signing ceremony for the establishment of a Moroccan-American Executive Business
Center which will promote academic and business links between the two countries.
- Highlight the importance of corporate involvement in the health sector at rural village where
the Pfizer Corporation has made significant contributions to fighting trachoma blindness, which
is endemic in many rural areas in Morocco.
- Learn the rich cultural histories of Morocco by touring the kasbahs and mosques, from the
cities to rural villages such as Ouarzazate. These visits will include stops at rural schools that are
encouraging young girls to continue their education, and an overnight in the desert to experience
the striking views and the celebrated atmosphere of the Moroccan desert.

FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON ANNOUNCES $24.5 MILLION FOR
USAID FAMILY PLANNING, HEALTHLY MOTHER, CHILD PROGRAMS IN
EGYPT
CAIRO, Egypt - Today, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton announced that the United States, through the U.S.
Agency for International Development (USAID), will provide $10 million for family planning activities in Egypt
and $14.5 million for Healthy Mother/Healthy Child activities in Upper Egypt.
On the first leg of a three-country tour to Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco, Mrs. Clinton made the
announcement in Cairo at the inauguration and ribbon cutting ceremony of the newly opened El Basatin One Day
Surgery and Maternal and Child Health Center.
Egypt has made impressive gains in the health of women and children with assistance from USAID. For
example, infant and under-five child mortality rates have declined by 45 percent and 53 percent respectively from
3 to 1995. Child survival programs have prevented the deaths of more than 80,000 children and
roximately ninety percent of Egyptian children have been immunized.
The El Basatin clinic offers low-cost, one-day, outpatient surgical services to the poor. It provides high
quality, integrated maternal and child health, family planning, and reproductive health services. These services
include immunizations for children, treatment of respiratory and diarrheal diseases and other common ailments.
Pregnant women also receive pre-natal care, delivery, and post-natal services.
Through this center, the Ministry of Health and Population offers both primary and preventive health care
and outpatient curative services in a clinic, avoiding the cost of hospitalization. The clinic is equipped with up-
to-date diagnostic and clinical equipment and has fully furnished operating rooms with intensive care sections.
Since 1996, USAID has provided $31 million for family planning and $45 million for maternal and child
health activities in Egypt. USAID population, health and nutrition programs, budgeted at $804 million
worldwide, support family planning programs, improve infant and child health nutrition, and reduce deaths as a
result of childbirth. These are recognized worldwide as some of the most effective elements of U.S. foreign
assistance. The agency expects to spend about $50 million worldwide in FY 2000 for improving maternal health
and reducing deaths as a result of pregnancy and childbirth.

FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON ANNOUNCES $45 MILLION FOR
USAID ASSISTANCE TO LUXOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM
LUXOR, Egypt - First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton announced today at the El-Kamak Health Center
and Gold Star Family Planning Clinic here, that the United States, through the U.S. Agency for International
Development (USAID), will provide $45 million to upgrade the Luxor Wastewater Treatment System.
Over the past 20 years, USAID has provided $2.7 billion for the water and wastewater sectors in Egypt,
resulting in new or better services for one in three Egyptians. Since 1996, USAID assistance has focused on
expanding sustainable water and wastewater services in urban centers of economic growth where the maximum
number of people can benefit. By 1998, completed projects have resulted in better lives for millions of
Egyptians. For example, wastewater conveyance and treatment have benefited more than three million people in
andria, Egypt through two new USAID-funded treatment plants.
At the El-Karnak clinic, Mrs. Clinton witnessed a formal signing of the implementation agreement to
launch the USAID-supported Healthy Mother/Healthy Child activities in Luxor and participated in a ribbon
cutting ceremony of the newly renovated clinic
The El-Karnak clinic provides high quality maternal and child health care, family planning, and
reproductive health services. Some of these services include immunizations, treatment of respiratory and
diarrheal diseases and other ailments. Also provided are routine pre-natal care, delivery and post-natal services
for pregnant women.
The clinic received its first "Gold Star" certification from the USAID-supported Quality Improvement
Project (QIP) in 1996, and has continued to meet the strict standards. The Egyptian Ministry of Health and
Population awards the "Gold Star" to the "best of the best" in clinics which consistently meet one hundred
percent of standard of quality care requirements for family planning clinics.
(On March 22 in Cairo, Mrs. Clinton announced that USAID will provide $20 million for family
planning activities and $14.5 million for Healthy Mother/Healthy Child activities in Egypt.)

Clinton today visited this eastern Moroccan town to pay her respects to
the tomb of the XVII century founder of Morocco's Alawite dynasty,

FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON ANNOUNCES $3 MILLION
IN FAMILY PLANNING, CHILD HEALTH PROGRAMS THROUGH USAID
FEZ, Morocco - First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton announced that the United States, through the U.S. Agency for
International Development (USAID), will provide $3 million to the Government of Morocco for their reproductive and
child health programs.
The First Lady made the announcement on a visit to the Ibn Khatib hospital, a Moroccan Ministry of Health
facility. During her visit, she participated in a ribbon cutting of the new operating room in the hospital.
The Moroccan Ministry of Health and USAID has had an extremely fruitful, almost thirty-year collaboration to
improve the health and well being of Moroccan women, children and families. In terms of health improvements the results
dramatic. The average number of children a woman has in her lifetime (total fertility rate) has decreased from 5.9 in
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 138 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.
Maternal health remains a major health problem in Morocco despite important progress in family planning and
other preventive health measures. Maternal mortality rates remain unacceptably high at 228 per 100,000 live births (308 in
rural areas, 125 in urban areas). Insufficient access to high quality services for pregnancy and delivery, and use of these
services by women who need them - have been the focus of joint efforts by the Ministry of Health and USAID.
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 to improve their skills.
The operating room the first lady opened was renovated and equipped as a part of this 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 5 new operating
rooms made available as a result of this project, thus increasing from three to seven the total number of facilities able to
undertake Caesarian sections.

FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON ANNOUNCES $7.8 MILLION
IN LOAN GUARANTEES FOR MOROCCO
MARRAKECH, Morocco - First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton announced that the United States, through the U.S.
Agency for International Development (USAID), is making available loan guarantees of $7.8 million this year for housing
programs in Morocco.
Mrs. Clinton made the announcement during a visit to a former shantytown called Koudia that is being redeveloped
into a viable community with technical assistance from USAID. The First Lady handed out housing deeds to community
members who will build their own houses on land that has been improved with connections to potable water, electricity and
sewerage services. A major objective of USAID programs in Morocco is to encourage continued support of local
community groups and women-headed households improve their living conditions.
The community of Koudia sits on the periphery of Marrakech. It originally developed as a shantytown (bidonville)
is currently home to 460 very low-income households. The Koudia settlement is representative of many urban areas
n more than 20 percent of the population living in unauthorized settlements and more than 10 percent living in
bidonvilles. Women head a full 26 percent of the households.
Lack of water and sanitary services has been a primary factor in high rates of disease. Without secure title to the
land, Koudia residents were not willing to invest in the construction of standard housing, and lived instead in makeshift
shelters. Further, forty-five of these houses are threatened with collapse into the adjacent working quarry.
Koudia is being developed by ANHI. the Moroccan National Shelter Upgrading Agency. Their work includes
installing water and sewer services to both existing and new building plots. USAID/Morocco supports ANHI through
technical assistance to strengthen their capacity to manage a self-sustaining urban upgrade program. The Government of
Morocco also takes advantage of USAID's Urban Environmental Credit Program (UECP-formerly the Housing
Guarantee Program) which provides United States Government loan guarantees to U.S. private sector investors in financial
markets that provide capital for housing programs in developing countries.
USAID-supported ANHI activities in Koudia focus on land management and development, and restructuring of
existing neighborhoods to improve living conditions. ANHI is providing environmental infrastructure, which confronts the
critical problems of removing wastewater, providing potable water and electricity, and increasing land and building
ownership. Social services provided include providing land that is equipped with a health clinic and dispensary, a youth
center, a mosque and a woman's community center.

FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON ANNOUNCES $1.6 MILLION FOR
PRIMARY EDUCATION IN MOROCCO
ERRACHIDA, Morocco - First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton today announced that the United States,
through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), will provide $1.6 million for funding
rural primary education in Morocco.
On the last leg of her three-country visit to Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco, Mrs. Clinton made the
announcement at the Ait Amour School where she visited classrooms, met the teachers and interacted with
the children.
The Ait Amour School and three others in this rural province have benefited from USAID's initiative
in girls' education. Teachers, school directors, school inspectors and Ministry of Education provincial staff
e trained to become sensitive to cultural and other issues that kept girls out of the classroom, leading to
ore girls in the classroom. Textbooks were also assessed for gender sensitivity and relevance to rural life.
The school has one female and five male teachers for the 89 children (44 girls and 45 boys) enrolled.
The school has a tree-planting program for the students as well as a school newspaper. In addition, literacy
training for adult women is also available.
In Morocco, there are about 2.5 million girls of primary school age. Approximately 1.3 million of
these girls live in rural areas and are directly affected by the weaknesses of the rural primary school
environment. The gross school enrollment rates at the primary level are only 50 percent for boys and 22
percent for girls (as compared to urban rates of 93 percent for boys and 86 percent for girls). The illiteracy
rate for rural boys is 61 percent and 89 percent for rural girls (versus 25 percent for urban males and 49
percent for urban females).
USAID has invested more than $1 billion worldwide over the past ten years in basic education programs
with an emphasis on improving access to education, especially for girls. The First Lady's long experience with
education and children's issues made her an influential leader long before she came to Washington in 1992. Her
experience and leadership on the issue of girls' education and her overall international advocacy for women and
girls will be especially beneficial on her visits to schools during this trip.
In 1995, the First Lady announced USAID's Girls' and Women's Education Initiative, which builds
USAID's successful experience and the lessons learned in promoting girls' education. She made the
ouncement at the UN Summit on Social Development in Copenhagen.

FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON ANNOUNCES USAID GRANT
OF $100,000 TO FIGHT EYE DISEASE IN MOROCCO
TASSELMANTE VILLAGE, Morocco - The First Lady today announced that the United States,
through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), will provide a $100,000 grant for the
International Trachoma Initiative to Helen Keller International to help fight the disease in Morocco.
Trachoma is an infectious eye disease that is the leading cause of preventable blindness throughout the
world. More than 350,000 Moroccans have the disease with the vast majority of victims being women and
children. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that six million people are blind worldwide or at
imminent risk of blindness from trachoma; an additional 150 million have the disease, and more than
540 million--almost 10 percent of humanity-- are at risk.
Morocco is a leader in the effort to eradicate trachoma and has an ambitious program that serves as an
example of what can be achieved through private-public partnerships. These partners are working to promote
the elimination of trachoma as a cause of blindness by adopting the approach recommended by the World Health
Organization and supported by the International Trachoma Initiative. This approach is called the S-A-F-E
strategy-Surgery, Antibiotics, Face Washing, and Environment improvement.
The Moroccan effort to eliminate trachoma has become a model for the Global Elimination of Trachoma
by the 2020 (GET 2020) Alliance, a consortium of governmental and non-governmental organizations, working
to relegate blinding trachoma to the annals of history. Using a strategy that will be based on a comprehensive
national action plan, Morocco may well become the first country to attain elimination through a concerted
strategy of prevention and control.
One hundred years ago, trachoma was endemic throughout the world and was a leading exclusion
criterion for immigrants coming to Ellis Island from Europe. The disease has receded with development,
including improved sanitation and access to water. Today, trachoma remains a public health priority in sub-
Saharan Africa and Asia and parts of Latin America and Australia.

FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON ANNOUNCES $2 MILLION FOR
USAID ASSISTANCE TO MOROCCON MICROFINANCE ACTIVITIES
TASSELMANTE VILLAGE, Morocco - The First Lady announced today that the United States,
through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), will provide Morocco with $2 million this
year for microfinance activities.
On the last leg of her three-country visit to Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco, Mrs. Clinton made the
announcement at the Near East Foundation, a U.S. Private Voluntary Organization (PVO). The Near East
Foundation has been working in the province of Quarzazate since 1987 with a primary focus on rural women's
empowerment.
Mrs. Clinton also announced that with USAID support, a microfinance Non-Governmental Organization
GO), Al Amana, will open a new office in the Quarzazate province to further promote economic growth
activities.
Microfinance activities first came to Morocco in 1996 through a USAID-funded project with Volunteers
in Technical Assistance (VITA). VITA created Al Amana, which made its first loans in March 1997. By the end
of 1998, 28 offices in 15 cities were providing 750 new loans per week worth $150,000. To date, Al Amana has
provided 18,000 loans, 47 percent to women. The average loan is $240 and is usually used to purchase raw
materials (e.g., wool, leather) or small machinery. The average loan period is 5 months.
Until recently, microfinance institutions had no legal status in Morocco. USAID helped draft the
microfinance law, which has passed both houses of Parliament. This law legalizes microfinance institutions, gives
them tax advantages, and permits them to charge adequate interest rates.
USAID's microenterprise program, budgeted at $135 million worldwide, works to increase the flow of credit
to small businesses in developing countries. Helping poor but enterprising men and women build their own
businesses is a key element of USAID's grassroots growth strategy. The microenterprise initiative started in1994
with 331,000 low-income borrowers worldwide; in 1998, USAID's grants contributed to an estimated 1.6 million
loans. Two-thirds of the borrowers are women and are for $300 or less.

Mrs. Clinton celebrates women's rights in Tunisia
4.21 p.m. ET (2121 GMT) March 25, 1999
By Sandra Sobieraj, Associated Press
TUNIS, Tunisia (AP) First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived in this
North African nation Thursday to celebrate its record on women's rights.
But first, she came face-to-face with its attitude toward political freedom.
Saluted at the Tunis airport by a saber-wielding honor guard of elaborately
cloaked military officers, Mrs. Clinton released a statement saying she came
to strengthen American ties to Tunisia and "learn more about your
extraordinary achievements."
The first lady's Air Force plane, getting to Tunis a bit early, was asked to
circle the verdant coastline a half-dozen times while the red-carpet greeting
was assembled.
Preparing for her address the next day at Tunis' Congressional Palace, Mrs.
Clinton sat down with a dozen of this nation's prominent female activists —
including a film director, human rights advocate and opposition-party
member of Parliament.
The women's discussion at the clifftop residence of U.S. Ambassador Robin
Raphel, overlooking Carthage and the Gulf of Tunis, was hastily shut to
reporters after participants said they didn't want their views broadcast in the
media.
Tunisia, slightly smaller than Missouri and wedged between the volatile
Libya and Algeria, keeps a tight rein on political opposition.
There are no practical rights to freedom of speech or political expression,
said one U.S. official.
But the first lady, holding to the nonconfrontational style of her 12-day
North African trip to date, said she was here mostly to celebrate the
country's record of investments in women and children.
The government spends 20 percent of its annual budget implementing a
program of health, education and employment rights for women and girls.
Ninety-nine percent of Tunisian girls are old enough for the first grade are
in school, and 45 percent of college students here are women.
Family-planning services are widely available and abortion is legal.
Tunisia, a predominantly middle-class nation, is the only Arab state to
outlaw polygamy.
Before leaving Egypt earlier Thursday, Mrs. Clinton repeated to an Arab
audience her husband's argument for the NATO bombing campaign against
Yugoslavia and prayed the allies "will be able to conduct it safely and will
bring it to as swift an end as possible."
The first lady also announced in Luxor, Egypt, a $45 million grant from the

TRIP OF FIRST LADY HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
TO EGYPT, TUNISIA, AND MOROCCO
Washington, D.C. - On Saturday, March 20, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton will embark on
a nearly two-week trip to Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco. Throughout the trip, the First Lady will
underscore the commitment of the United States to strengthening the bonds of friendship
between the United States and these nations - and the bonds of understanding between the
United States and the entire Arab world.
In Egypt, the First Lady will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty
and the breathtaking culture that defines that nation and its distinguished past. In Tunisia, the
First Lady will hear about Tunisians' remarkable record on women's. And in Morocco, she will
learn how their experiment with political pluralism, religious tolerance, and the growth of civil
society can serve as a model. Throughout the trip, the First Lady will see firsthand the difference
U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has made in meeting challenges -- bringing
girls education and providing microcredit, health care and other tools of opportunity to citizens
who need them.
Later this year, the First Lady will complete her tour of the region with visits to two other
important allies - Israel and Jordan. (Because of the election in Israel and the mourning of His
Majesty King Hussein in Jordan, it wasn't appropriate to schedule trips there at this time.)
The First Lady's trip builds on years of her active involvement - both in the United States and
around the world - in ensuring access to safe, high quality family planning services and
health care; encouraging the economic empowerment of women; and working with NGOs on
issues of civic participation, human rights and social investment.
Below are some highlights of the First Lady's upcoming trip:
Egypt (March 21 - 25)
- Emphasize efforts to empower girls and women by: visiting the New Horizons Program, a
project sponsored by the Egyptian government and USAID which uses creative means to provide
basic life skills training and reproductive health education to girls and young women; and
participating in an event to highlight microenterprise programs which are contributing to the
economic development of Egyptian women.
- Participate in a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially open the new Surgery Hospital in Cairo,
where she will announce a new program to improve the health of mothers and babies. In Luxor,
she will visit a health clinic, where she will announce new resources for family planning.
- Deliver a major address on promoting religious tolerance and encouraging the development of
civil society.
- The First Lady will tour many historic and important religious, cultural and archeological sites,
including: the Citadel and Bab Zuweila Gate in Cairo; and the Karnak Temple and the Valley of
the Kings and Queens in Luxor.
Tunisia (March 25 - 27)
- Visit an urban development center in one of the largest and poorest neighborhoods in Tunis,
which provides education and training services for youth and runs a successful microcredit
program, primarily for women.
- Participate in an event to highlight the National Solidarity Fund, a fund created by Tunisian
President Ben Ali and financed solely by voluntary contributions, to provide assistance for
infrastructure development, education, housing, and health centers in hundreds of communities
around the country.
- In Tunis, deliver a major address to hundreds of women and representatives of women's
organizations on the progress made and additional work to be done to improve and expand
women's rights.
- Travel to Kairouan, where she will visit a family planning clinic and tour local religious sites.
Morocco (March 27 - April 1)
- Deliver the keynote address at an international conference on education, Education and the
Private Sector, A Development Imperative. This conference, which hopes to encourage private
sector involvement in supporting girls' education, was inspired by the May 1998 USAID-
sponsored international conference on girls education in Washington, D.C. which stressed girls
education as a key element in a country's development
- Visit a rural health clinic where a Peace Corps Volunteer works with community members to
ensure that women are informed of family planning options and safe-birthing techniques, and
where mothers learn to detect and prevent frequent childhood illnesses.
- Deliver remarks in Marrakesh emphasizing the importance of religious and cultural tolerance in
the pursuit of a civil society.
- In Fez, inaugurate a maternity ward operating room at the Ibn El Khatib Hospital, one of seven
maternity hospitals renovated through the USAID/Morocco Safe Motherhood Initiative.
- Visit a USAID-supported low-income housing site and announce additional support that will
ensure that residents are given the opportunity to become property owners and participate in their
community.
- Participate in a discussion with non-governmental leaders who are active in the development of
civil society and who play a key role in Morocco's progress as a democratic Islamic country.
