BHOTOCORY
A Visit From
St. Nicholas
Clement C. Moore
"Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The pawing and prancing, of each little hoof -
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
in the hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
While visions of sugar-plumbs danced in their heads;
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;
And Mamma in her ker'chief, and I in my cap,
A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap;
And he look'd like a pedlar just opening his pack.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter
His eyes - how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
And the beard on his chin was as white as the snow;
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
Gave the luster of mid-day to objects below,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
He had a broad face and a little round belly
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
That shook, when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf;
That I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
Now, Dasher! now Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
On, Comet! On Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!
And fill'd all the stocking; then turned with a jerk,
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
And laying his finger aside of his nose,
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!
And giving a nod, up the chimmney he rose'
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
If they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew;
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,
With a sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night."

SECTION: MAJOR LEADER SPECIAL TRANSCRIPT
HEADLINE: ADDRESS BY HILLARY CLINTON
P
Y
TO CHILDREN'S DEFENSE FUND
NATIONAL BUILDING MUSEUM
WASHINGTON, DC
from ORM
044018
BODY:
MRS. CLINTON: Thank you. Thank you so much all of you for being here
and for supporting CDF and supporting children. Thank you to my
friend, and mentor, and leader, of so many years now -- thank you,
Marian, for your constancy and your persistence, and your inspiration
to so many of us in this room and around the world.
I also was privileged today to go over to the Children's Defense Fund
and to thank the remarkable staff of men and women who work every day
to help the children of America. (Applause) I told them that all
during this last year I would be anywhere in the country and someone
would say, "I contribute to the Children's Defense Fund. I read your
report. I care about what you care about."
And that is because the quality of work and the commitment of the
staff of CDF under Marian's leadership and under the leadership of the
board that has been so remarkable always, and continues to be, has
really set an example for what we mean when we talk about translating
caring into action.
I am so glad I could be here this evening. I don't think that I have
ever missed a CDF benefit, and I had no intention of missing this one.
And I was very pleased that I was able to come and that my husband was
able to spend time here as well, because he also has attended CDF
benefits in the past. (Applause) But, as some of you might guess, the
decision and the opportunity for us to attend did cause a few people
to get a little concerned. Apparently when one is the President-elect
it requires a little more planning than it used to be when we would
just show up. so we travel with a lot more people than usual, and
many of them are recognizable because they talk into their sleeves.
But they are new friends of ours who are joining many of our old
friends here this evening. This evening once again demonstrates how
far we have come and how far we have yet to go. We are honoring five
extraordinary young people -- Rhondi (ph) and Henry, Charles, Leonard,
and Sharonda (ph), whom you will have an opportunity to meet more
personally after dinner. We have very high hopes for them, because
they have demonstrated the indomitable will of the human spirit to
overcome and beat the odds.

But they also represent literally hundreds of thousands -- even
millions -- of young people in our country who likewise are trying
with all of their heart and mind to pull together a life of dignity to
obtain the kind of respect that we should grant to one another as
human beings, and who are doing all they can do in their own lives to
beat the odds and circumstances into which they were either born or
have been placed.
And what these five young lives represent so clearly is how with a
helping hand, with a listening ear, with a chance that is given to
another to make a good decision for that person's life, there is
always hope. And what I believe we have to do as we honor these young
people is to remember that. There is a role for each of us, as there
is for every adult in this country, to do better for our children and
our youth. We have not done what we should have done. It is not just
a problem for us as political citizens, it is a problem for us as
human beings. Each of us, as parents or grandparents, aunts or
uncles, as friends or neighbors, teachers or coaches, as preachers or
business leaders, as President -- all of us has to recognize that we
owe our children more than we have been giving to them. And we need
to begin paying that to them in the ways that count for children --
with love and attention, the right mixture of discipline and caring,
with schools that work, with neighborhoods that are safe, with health
care that is available, with role models that encourage young people
to dream dreams and believe they too can lead productive lives.
My husband went earlier today to Georgia Avenue, and he visited people
who are there working day in and day out -- (applause) -- to provide
for their own families, to send their children to schools, to make a
living, to make a contribution. And all across America he and I have
been privileged this year to once again realize there are millions and
millions and millions of Americans who just really believe that their
chance for the American dream is worth fighting for and worth working
for. And they are willing to overcome lots of obstacles, if only
given some hope and some chance to do so.
What the Children's Defense Fund has always stood for is beating the
odds, standing up for people who could not vote, didn't have a voice.
We all tonight are voices for children. We all will watch these young
people with pride. But we have to remember that standing behind them
from coast to coast are millions of others. If we do our part, in our
personal lives, in our professional lives, in our homes, our churches,
our work places, and particularly as citizens -- then this country
will again be able to say it is fulfilling the most fundamental
obligation that any generation has: to care and nurture the next. What
the chance to be born healthy, to receive immunizations and neaith
care as that child grows, to be stimulated and to learn so that that
child can be ready for school, to have parents and family members who
believe with all their hearts that caring for that child is their most
important obligation, and to have a society that looks at every child
with colorblind eyes, and believes that every child is worthy in God's
eyes to be given the chance that all of us hope our own children will
have to grow into productive and positive human beings?

I hope and I trust it can be the great mission of this country, and
that together all of us will do all we can to make sure that no child
is left behind, and all children have the promise that America holds
out. Thank you very much. (Applause)

HILLARY CLINTON: AN ADVOCATE FOR AMERICA'S
FAMILIES AND CHILDREN
Hillary Clinton has been a leading advocate for children. For
more than 20 years, she has worked -- as a wife, mother, volunteer and
lawyer -- to improve education, strengthen families, and promote health
care for children. She is proud of her achievements and will continue
to be a voice for children and families when Bill Clinton is elected
President of the United States.
Hillary Clinton cares deeply about her own family and
America's children. She believes that we must invest in our
children's education and health if we want a promising future. As
First Lady, Hillary Clinton would continue to talk to people around
the country and be a voice for mothers, children and families.
Improving the Quality of Education: Hillary Clinton is an
active parent in the Little Rock School District, working to
improve the quality of education. She chaired the Arkansas
Education Standards Committee, which recommended
changes to strengthen the accreditation standards for the
state's public schools. These standards have been a model
for states around the nation.
Reducing Infant Mortality: Hillary Clinton served on the
Southern Governor's Association Task Force on Infant
Mortality. In Arkansas, she helped establish the first neo-
natal nursery in the state at Arkansas Children's Hospital,
and now serves on the Hospital's Board of Trustees.
Outstanding Mother and Advocate: In 1984, Mrs. Clinton
was named the Young Mother of the Year in Arkansas. She
has also been recognized by the National Law Journal, the
National Campaign Headcuarters

University of Arkansas, and the National Women's Economic
Alliance for her work to improve the quality of life for
families and children in America. She has also been
acknowledged for her efforts to protect children from abuse
and neglect.
Promoting Children and Family Interests: In 1977, Hillary
Clinton founded Arkansas' Advocates for Children and
Families, an organization that promotes parenting, and health
and education for Arkansas' children. She also joined the
Board of Directors of the Children's Defense Fund (CDF) in
1976, and chaired the Board from 1986 until earlier this
year. CDF advocates on behalf of American children and
their families. The organization has a special interest in the
needs of poor children.
Helping Disadvantaged Parents Prepare their Children for
School: Hillary Clinton brought the Home Instruction
Program for Pre-school Youth to Arkansas. This program
trains disadvantaged parents to teach their pre-school
children the skills they will need to succeed in school. It
encourages parents to take an active role in the education of
their children.
In her book, First Teachers, Barbara Bush praises Hillary
Clinton's Home Instruction Program for Pre-School Youth. Mrs.
Bush told USA Today, August 14, 1992, that she had heard about
Hillary Clinton's work on literacy and was so impressed that she
invited her to talk about it at a White House tea.
Hillary Clinton raised the issue of infant mortality with
President Bush. He wrote to thank her for making him aware of
gravity of the problem -- the dimensions of which he found
surprising.
What Hillary Clinton has stood for over the course of the last
20 years, and what she and Bill Clinton still believe, is common
sense: children need to grow up in a strong and loving family.
Her primary concern on behalf of children has been that families
should be allowed to flourish so that children too can thrive.

CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT
P.02
THE TRUTH ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON'S RECORD ON FAMILIES AND CHILDREN
Once again, in a blatant effort to distract voters from the
real issues of this campaign, the Republicans have launched an
unjustified, specious and purely political attack on Mrs. Clinton.
Distorting her words and ignoring her achievements on behalf of
the families of America, the Republicans are keeping their promise
that they will do anything to stay in the White House.
The Republicans are not interested in what Mrs. Clinton
really has to say about children's issues. In a 1973 law review
article, Hillary Clinton cited marriage and slavery as historical
examples where laws, long since rejected, created relationships of
dependency. It is outrageous to suggest that Mrs. Clinton ever
"likened" the current institution of marriage to slavery. In
fact, a Connecticut judge, the Honorable Charles D. Gill, honored
by President Bush in 1989 for his work on behalf of children, used
the same historical examples in a recent law review article on the
status of the child.
The Republicans should also know better than to attack Hillary
Clinton for her efforts to protect abused and neglected children.
Hillary Clinton has advocated that when children face "long-term
and possibly irreparable" damage, they should have legal recourse,
but that disputes between children and their parents should "in
all but the most extreme cases
be resolved by the families,
not the courts." Her view is borne out in current law. Do the
Republicans believe that abused or neglected children should have
no recourse?
Enough of Republican scare tactics. Hillary Clinton has been
a leading advocate of family values and child health and welfare
for more than 20 years. She has worked to improve education,
strengthen families, and promote health care for children. She is
proud of her achievements and will continue to be a voice for
children and families when Bill Clinton is elected President of
the United States.
Improving the Quality of Education: Hillary Clinton is an active
parent in the Little Rock School District, working to improve the
quality of urban education. She chaired the Arkansas Education
Standards Committee, which recommended changes to strengthen the
accreditation standards for the state's public schools. These
standards have been a model for states around the nation.
Reducing Infant Mortality: Hillary Clinton chaired the Southern
Governor's Association Task Force on Infant Mortality. In
Arkansas, she helped establish the first neo-natal nursery in the
state at Arkansas Children's Hospital, and now serves on the
Hospital's Board of Trustees.

years, and what she and Bill Clinton still believe, is common sense:
children need to grow up in a strong and loving family. Her primary
2
concern on behalf of children has been that families should be allowed to
flourish so that children too can thrive.
Republican allegations are purely political, but accurately reflect the
Republicans' callous policies toward children and families.
In addition to her concern about the problems of child abuse and
neglect, Hillary Clinton has been troubled by extreme situations where
parents make decisions that could harm a child. She wrote about a case
where a child had a cleft palate -- an easily correctable facial
disfigurement - and the parents refused to take corrective action. Hillary
Clinton suggested that in circumstances such as these, where children face
"long term and possibly irreparable" damage, they should have a legal
recourse. Hillary Clinton wrote, however, that disputes between children
and their parents should "in all but the most extreme cases ...
be
resolved by the families, not the courts." ("Children's Rights: A Legal
Perspective," page 26, Children's Rights, Teachers College Press, 1979)
Hillary Clinton's views that children who could suffer irreparable
harm as a result of their parents' decisions should have a legal recourse -
- are borne out by current law. The Republicans' false accusations - - that
Hillary Clinton thinks children should sue their parents when they object
to taking out the trash -- are cynical and show their contempt for the
serious problem of child abuse in this country. Do the Republicans
believe recourse? that children who are abused or neglected should not have any
In a 1973 article in the Harvard Educational Review, Hillary Clinton
recounted the history of family law. The Republicans now distort her
words and suggest that she equated marriage to slavery. This could not
be further from the truth. In fact, Hillary Clinton's historical comparison
was hardly uncommon. Consider a recent law review article by Judge
Charles D. Gill of Connecticut, which similarly reviewed the legal
antecedents to current law. He noted that historically "slaves, children
and, to a large degree women, were deprived of rights." Judge Gill was
honored by the Bush Administration in 1989 for "his distinguished legal
career" promoting the rights of child victims and witnesses.
3
The Republicans argue whatever is politically expedient. When 12-
year old Walter Polovchak wanted to stay in the United States instead of
returning with his parents to his home in the Soviet Union, the
Republicans agreed. The case went all the way to the Court of Appeals
in 1985, and the Republican Administration argued that Walter should be
able to stay in the U.S. over his parents objections. We did not hear the
Republicans speaking out against children's rights then.
The Republicans have often been on the wrong side of children's
issues. In the early twentieth century, conservative political forces
opposed child labor laws, arguing that these laws would constitute an
unreasonable government interference in the economic and privacy rights
of the family. In attacking Hillary Clinton, the Republicans are making
the same claims about laws that protect children from abuse.
The Reagan and Bush Administrations have the worst record on
children's issues in recent history. Every year since Reagan and Bush
took office, the number of children in poverty has grown at a faster rate
than in the previous 14 years. Now, one in five children live in poverty.
Ten million children have no health insurance, and millions of children
receive an inadequate education. President Bush has developed no new
programs for America's children.
President Bush has vetoed legislation that would allow parents to
take leave to take care of sick, newborn or newly adopted children.
Seventy-two industrialized nations provide such leave; the U.S. does not.

DATE:
DECEMBER 13, 1995
For the Martha Stewart TV Special, Martha will present the White
House with a wreath made from oak leaves and acorns from
Washington, DC. After you and Martha have adjusted the wreath,
you will have an opportunity to talk about what Christmas means
to you and your family traditions.
o
Christmas is time for our entire family to come together and
have a great time. One of our favorite traditions is singing
Christmas Carols and acting out the parts -- everybody has props
for their various roles, like antlers for reindeer and a big red
nose for Rudolph.
o
The President and I have blended our families' traditions.
We traditionally go to church Christmas Eve and Christmas
Morning, and Chelsea and I bake tons of cookies.
O
The White House State Floor is decorated for the Holidays
beginning on the last day of November. However, we don't
decorate our family tree until Christmas Eve.

My Christmas wish -- I wish that the spirit of love and hope
that is the Christmas story will find a place in every person's
heart.

Tracey,
The wording for the Christmas brochure follows:
Each year the official White House Christmas tree stands in
the center of the Blue Room. This year the 18 1/2 foot
Colorado Blue Spruce came from "Santa's Forest," near Holt,
in Clinton County, Missouri.
It was presented to the President and Mrs. Clinton by
"Schmitt Tree Farms," owned by Louis W. Schmitt and sons,
Lynn, Louis E. and Myron. They won the honor by being
named 1994 National Grand Champion Growers by the National
Christmas Tree Association.

Dear 2~:
The holiday season at the White House is always a beautiful and special time. It is an occasion for friends and
families to celebrate and enjoy entertainment and creative decorations throughout the President's Home. During
the holiday season, as many as 150,000 visitors tour the White House.
The President and Mrs. Clinton would like to reflect in the White House decorations the re-emergence of ARTS
as an essential component of American life and education. Because of the importance of this commitment to
arts and education, the First Family would like to invite your school to participate in the creation of ornaments
for one of the trees to be displayed in the White House.
The President and Mrs. Clinton have chosen the TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS* as the Holiday Theme
at the White House. They are inviting your school to create two ornaments made by the students depicting the
day of their choice. Due to size and space constraints, we are asking each school to submit only two ornaments
for the tree. Here are some guidelines:
EACH DECORATION MUST BE 5" TO 8" HIGH AND WEIGH UNDER
6 OUNCES WITH AN 8" GOLD CORD ATTACHED. EACH
DECORATION SHOULD HAVE A DETACHABLE TAG WITH THE
STUDENT'S NAME, SCHOOL NAME, SCHOOL ADDRESS AND
TELEPHONE NUMBER.
The ornaments must arrive no later than November 10th in order to display them for our holiday visitors.
Please send your decorations (mark the package "BLUE RIBBON") to: Nancy Clarke, The White House,
Executive Residence, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20500.
We would also like to ask each artist to complete the enclosed form which will be compiled in a souvenir book
to be presented to President and Mrs. Clinton.
Thank you for your commitment to excellence in education. We look forward to working with you in making
the holiday decorations at the White House truly memorable. It is our hope that the 1994 White House
Christmas will portray hope and enthusiasm for our artistic future. Should you have any questions, please feel
free to call my office at 202/456-7136.
Sincerely,
Ann Stock
Social Secretary
