AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION October 2, 1997 The Honorable William J. Clinton The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Clinton: I would like to request the honor of an invitation to the White House Conference on Child Development to be held in the White House on October 23, 1997. It would be my privilege to represent the 152,000 member American Psychological Association, of which I am President-elect. The topic of child development is at the heart of my own Presidential theme for 1998, and has been the topic of my research for the last 30 years. My 1998 APA theme is "Prevention: Building Strength, Resilience, and Health in Young People." It emphasizes the importance of psychologists working on building strength and character in children, not just repairing damage. My qualifications: I am Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. I have held continuous grants from the National Institute of Mental Health for 28 years on the topic of helplessness and depression. Contrary to what many believed, we have found that helplessness and the tendency to depression in children is learned, and it can be prevented by acquiring the skills of recognizing and disputing catastrophic thinking. Learning these skills can also raise academic achievement and improve physical health. My most recent federal grants document the prevention of depression in children and youth by teaching the skills of optimism. We then teach parents and teachers in the public schools to deliver these programs. This research has also been supported by the National Science Foundation, The Guggenheim Foundation, and the MacArthur Foundation. I am 750 First Street, NE Martin E.P. Seligman, Ph.D. Department of Psychology Washington, DC 20002-4242 President Elect 1997 University of Pennsylvania (202) 336-6074 3813 Walnut Street (202) 336-6157 Fax Philadelphia, PA 19104-3604 (202) 336-6123 TDD (610) 896-9098 (610) 896-6273 Fax [email protected] Page Two The Honorable President Clinton October 2, 1997 a best-selling author (Learned Optimism, Knopf, 1991), and my most recent book (The Optimistic Child, Harper-Collins, 1996) documents for parents and teachers our successful prevention programs with children.

Van Lare, Executive Director Cynthia September 10, 1997 Dear Ms. Clark, The purpose of this letter is to request that April Vaptan from the Welfare Information Network be allowed to attend the President's Child Care Conference Scheduled for October 23, 1997. The Welfare Information Network (WIN) is a foundation-funded project to help states and communities obtain the information, analysis, and technical assistance needed to develop and implement welfare reforms that will reduce dependency and promote the well-being of families and children. We work closely with a wide variety of governmental and non-governmental organizations to collect and disseminate information on promising practices. We also maintain an extensive web site that provides rapid access to a wide variety of programmatic and administrative resources. Child care is a key component of a successful welfare reform program. Child care is required if welfare recipients are to be able to enter and remain in the workforce. Equally important, quality child care is critical to the child development and to the prevention of future dependency. Attendance at the President's Conference would help ensure that the materials made available through the Welfare Information Network are current and complete. Moreover, WIN is in an excellent position to help ensure the broadest possible initial dissemination for Conference results and to see that the issues, programs, and resources developed at the Conference remain readily available to state and community organizations and officials as they address welfare implementation issues on an on-going basis. In addition, as you continue to prepare for the President's Conference we welcome you to use WIN's web site (www.welfareinfo.org) or our clearinghouse should they be of assistance.

From: Kate Sparks Subject: Child Care Conference Speakers B list COMMENTS: The two businessmen I mentioned to you are: Sam Johnson, President and CEO of SC Johnson Wax and Henry Quadracchi, President and CEO of Quad Graphics. Both of these men are well respect, tough businessmen who can speak to the economic and business sense of investing in child care for their employees. The companies' write-ups from Working Mother magazine are: SC JOHNSON WAX: Employees: 3,463 Females: 1,052 Entry level: $11.37/hr (packaging); $32,433/yr (financial analyst). Percent female: vps 9% (of 44); officials and mgrs 18%; profs 34%. Highest paid: 13%. Women's support group. On-site center: 500 children ($44-126/wk; sliding-scale fees). Company subsidizes 30% of operating cost of center. Dependent care fund ($220,000). After-school (35), holiday (60) and summer (200) programs. Backup care (20). Direct child care subsidies. Pretax set-asides. Reimburses child care COSIS for non-routine business travel and overtime work. Resource and referral (R$R) (135). Pays for sick child care up to $300/yr. Sick-child days: 7. Leave for childbirth: Family and Medical Leave (FMLA), plus 6 wks, with some full pay. Phase-back for new mothers. Adoption aid: up to $2,000. Work at home (10). Job sharing (11). Flextime (2,498). Compressed workweeks (50). PT (benefits: 20 hrs/wk). Training for mgrs on alternative work schedules. Profit sharing (up to 20% of salary). Savings plan (50% company match up to $1,200 of pay; 25% up to the next 4%). Scholarships for employee's children: $373,400 to 47 kids. Health insurance (100% of premium; 80% for dependents). Full-time work/family mgr and staff. Elder care: R&R Johnson's Wax has pressed its managers to create more flexible work options this year. Indeed, every manager's performance appraisal now includes a look at whether he or she's encouraging and supporting the use of flexible scheduling. The results are beginning to show: Two thirds of the work force is on flextime, and a formal work-at-home program is under way. Women are slowly inching their way up into the top jobs. This year they hold 13% of the highest-paid positions, up from 9% last year. The company's state of-the-art child care center continues to serve headquarters employees well, and it now offers after-hours care. QUAD/GRAPHICS, INC: The largest family-owned printer in the nation. Employees: 8,275 Females: 2,205 Avg. Entry level: $7/hr (production); $20,000/yr (admin trainee); $22,000/yr (accounting); $30,000/yr (engincer). Percent female: senior and exec vps 0 (of 1); vps 0 (of 9); officials and mgrs 15%; profs 50%. Highest paid: 9%. Three on-site centers in Sussex, Lomira and Pewaukee, WI: 653 children total ($18-25/day). After-school (87). holiday (87) and summer (184) programs. Backup care. Direct child care subsidies (19). Pretax set-asides (131). R&R. Sick-child care (Pewaukee). Leave for childbirth: FMLA only, with disability pay. Phase-back for new mothers. Adoption aid: up to $4,000:R&R. Work al home. Job sharing. Flextime. Compressed workweeks. PT (benefits, except health care: 1,000 hrs/yr). Profit sharing. Savings plan (30% company match up to 6% of pay). Scholarships for employees' children: $202,000 to 101 kids. Health insurance (99% of premium). Full-time work/family mgr and staff. Elder care: R&R With three on-site centers serving more than 650 children, Quad/Graphics is a standout in its industry. No other printing company even comes close to doing so much on the child care front. But this one is still expanding its roster of benefits. This year it added a sick-child wing to its Pewaukee center and scholarships 10 help tuition at its on-site centers. And officials at the company tell us they are planning to add three more on-site centers in Georgia. New York and Wisconsin. Women hold 9% of the top jobs here, in eluding corporate secretary and corporate course positions. But apparently Quad/Graphics officials are mindful they need to do even more to move women up. The company sponsors two chapters of Women in Production to help attract and support talented women. 4 Nicole R. Rabner 09/17/97 09:26:53 AM Record Type: Record To: Michael T.

Harris PREVENTION 5-6296 Chairman Emeritus Harriet Meyer FUND Executive Director DATE: September 29, 1997 Bill Robert B- Days TO: Michael King Room FROM: Margie Wallen #23 RE: White House Child Care Conference I enjoyed talking to you again last week. Here are the materials we discussed. I hope you find them helpful. The Ounce of Prevention Fund's New Child Care Center: An Innovative Solution in One of the Nation's Toughest Neighborhoods The Ounce of Prevention Fund -- in partnership with Head Start, the Chicago Public Schools, the Harris Foundation, and additional public and private funders - will soon break ground on a state-of-the-art $2.5 million early childhood education and care center in Chicago's Grand Boulevard community, home to the country's largest public housing complex -- the Robert Taylor Homes. The provision of full-day, early childhood services that provide health, nutrition, and early childhood care and education for up to 182 children between the ages of three months and five years will help to eliminate a major barrier to residents who are striving to move from welfare to work. Designed by nationally acclaimed architect Stanley Tigerman, this new center will integrate federal, state, and local child development programs as well as a training center in a campus setting encompassing a Chicago Public elementary school and a high school The unique partnership that is supplying the funding, the innovative and practical design of the center, and The Ounce's high-quality, family-centered programming will combine to create an exceptional nationwide model for the delivery of early childhood education in underserved urban communities. We break ground in late November or early December and expect to open in the fall of 1998. Brenda Dobbins-Noel as Proposed Spokesperson As we discussed, a brief discussion on the need to combine private and public dollars to fund innovative efforts that help people move from welfare to self-sufficiency would make an excellent contribution to the upcoming Child Care Conference, including one of the mid-day conferences convened by selected Cabinet Secretaries. Our new child care center, a true partnership with the Chicago Public Schools, the Illinois Department of Human Services, and the federal government through Head Start, is a perfect example of such an innovative approach. Brenda Dobbins-Noel from the Ounce of Prevention Fund would make an excellent presenter or panelist. 122 SOUTH MICHIGAN AVENUE, SUITE 2050, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60603 PHONE: (312) 922-3863 . FAX (312) 922-3337 SEP-29-1997 12:04 OUNCE PREVENTION FUND P.03 Brenda Dobbins-Noel, Director of Child and Family Support Services, supervises our new Early Head Start program and oversees all of our existing early childhood services. Her experiences as a Head Start parent motivated her to pursue a BA in psychology from the University of Illinois and a Master of Education from the Erikson Institute for Advanced Study in Early Childhood Education. She's worked for The Ounce since 1987 and frequently serves as our spokesperson. Brenda would do a wonderful job of addressing effective ways to bring a variety of organizations and funding streams together to create effective early childhood education and care services. As you know, child care is a key element in the logistics of moving people from welfare to work; but, quality child care is a critical factor if we truly expect long-term success for families. Moreover, innovative collaborations are crucial if we intend to devote more resources toward increasing the quality, availability and accessibility of positive early childhood experiences. About The Ounce of Prevention Fund We chose the name The Ounce of Prevention Fund because we believe that it is more caring and cost-effective to promote healthy child development than to treat problems later in life. We target the two critical developmental periods when individuals undergo the most rapid physical, emotional and social growth -- the first three years of life and adolescence. Since we were founded in 1982, we have worked with some of the poorest families in some of the most challenging communities in the country. We provide a variety of services for children and their parents, conduct research to better understand "what works," and advocate for public policy changes that better serve all families. We stay on the cutting-edge by integrating our program, research and advocacy work into a "dynamic cycle" of innovation. Currently, we serve about 5,500 families through Early Head Start, Head Start, school-based health clinics and our Parents Too Soon home visiting program. We are a public-private partnership that can demonstrate success. The national Early Head Start initiative is based, in large part, on lessons learned from our historic "Beethoven Project" at our Center for Successful Child Development, located in the Robert Taylor Homes on Chicago's south side. Our Parents Too Soon program has proven to delay subsequent pregnancies, improve immunization rates and increase birthweight for the babies of teen moms who enter the program pregnant. Our school-based health centers have shown that they decrease substance abuse and reduce the risk of adolescent pregnancy. For More Information Michael, I wanted to thank you again for your consideration. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you'd like more information about the center or our work. I look forward to speaking with you again soon. 2. Add to Alist Nicole R. Rabner 09/30/97 12:31:51 PM Record Type: Record To: Michael T.

It's better than not being invited at all, but don't be surprised if Dr. Scott doesn't accept. Will we be able to see the final list of folks that get invites -- the whole thing, not just OPL.

Dr Weaver was invited to the White House Conference on Early Childhood Development and Learning on April 17, 1997. At that time Dr. Weaver awarded Mrs. Clinton the National Family Advocate of the Year Award on behalf of Parenting Publications of America(PPA). PPA distributes regional parenting magazines to approximately 4 million families in America. At the conference in April Dr. Weaver was able to take away valuable information that was discussed and written about both in our print publications and our online services for parents. Recently we have learned that there will be a Child Care conference in October of 1997. This letter is meant to serve as a formal request that Dr. Weaver once again be included as a guest at this groundbreaking and informative conference as a former member of the Carter administration and an avid advocate on behalf of parents, Dr. Weaver has the expertise and roots in this field to be a significant contributor. I will follow up with you in the next several weeks if I do not hear from you.
