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

coverage in the Wilmington/Philadelphia area for their facility. While DE is not a major
city, it is a good representation of many average cities across the US and may have good
models to share. The Wilmington area is an interesting model as it can combine urban,
sub-urban and rural areas. DE is home to big business (DuPont, MBNA, etc), agriculture,
and manufacturing (car manufactures, oil refineries).

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.
Thank you,
Barry Van Lare

Here's a suggested addition to the corporate list--General Mills. General Mills has made
a significant contribution to Child Care Aware to help upgrade their phone system to
handle the "hot line" for the conference and have operating support to field the calls.
They are also sponsoring a "Cheerios Breakfast" here in Washington hosted by Senator
Jeffords on the morning of the Conference.
It might be nice to invite them, as well:

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.

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.

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.

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.

I guess Alice Walker Duff should get the WH, but I'll voice my opinion that it's very awkward to
say that one can come and the other gets the B list. 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.

Dear Ms. Rabner,
1 am writing on behalf of the Publisher/CEO of Parents' Plus/The Boston
Parents' Paper, Dr, Betsy Weaver. 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.
Sincerely,
Lina Rowan- Gillis
