Room 100 - OEOB
Washington, D.C. 20503
Dear Melanne,
Thank you for all of your work in planning the First Lady's visit. From this
perspective, it was an unqualified success.
It was wonderful to have you a guest, if only for part of one night. I hope you
will be able to come back for a longer, more leisurely stay, one in which we can
sit around the kitchen table, visit museums, ride bikes in the dunes, etc. I'd love
to have a chance to go to Veere with you and to show you other parts of this
country I love.
I have really enjoyed working with you first on the President's Committee and
now as Ambassador. It is an honor to be on the same "team" with you. The First
Lady is lucky to have such a talented and loyal friend - not that she doesn't
deserve one.
I hope you returned to Washington unscathed and untouched by the flu bug. All
the very best,
Cynthia

The Hague, July 8th 1999
In Mrs. Clinton, deas Hillasy,
Each year we invite a prominent politician or academic to deliver a key note lecture in
Amsterdam in honor of my predecessor, dr. J.M. den Uyl, who was leader of the Dutch
Labour Party and Prime Minister of the Netherlands in the seventies.
The organising foundation, of which I am chairman, characterizes the lecture, which has been
given every year since 1988, as follows:
"To deliver the lecture eminent politicians, writers and academics will be asked, of whom a
profound and creative contribution can be expected.
The lecture focuses on the fields of politics, culture and the social sciences.
An interdisciplinary approach is emphasised in order to surmount the boundaries between
politics, economics and culture. The lecture should give an impulse to progressive thinking
about the development of (international) society. Thus, the Den Uyl-lecture highlights the
qualities of Joop den Uyl, but it is not a memorial lecture".
On behalf of the foundation it is my honor and privilege to invite you to be so kind as to
deliver the 1999 lecture in the week of December 13th, preferably on the Monday evening.
I realise this will only be feasible if you find this worthwhile in your schedule for that period.
If you are able to seriously consider this invitation we could further discuss both the content
of your contribution and other arrangements.
My thinking is that you could give an important impulse to the discussion of 'third way'
politics on the European continent.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Please accept my kind regards, also from Rita,
20ml Yours sincerely,
Wim Kok
Prime Minister of the
