The day was perfect, blue sky, American flag rustling softly above the White House. Your comments, the President's and, of course, those of your young charges, captured the moment perfectly. There were things you could not see. Former VISTA workers in the audience with a tear in the corner of their eye; people who had been inspired by the Kennedys to varied and individual forms of national service rekindling the dreams that first took hold of them. It was a glorious moment for the President and for the country. It is a great tribute to you. Congratulations.

I truly appreciate your taking time out of your day to discuss with my constituents the role that national service will play in the creation of the 21st Century workforce. I hope you enjoyed participating in the seminar; you certainly contributed to its success. The participants were very interested to hear your thoughts and, from what I have heard, benefited greatly from your knowledge on this issue. I know they have taken back to Connecticut some new and useful perspectives on policymaking in Washington. Again, thank you. Can CHRISTOPHER J. DODD Sincerely, Jumb!

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Eli: Thank you for your very thoughtful letter of May 24 regarding my testimony before the Education and Labor Committee on the President's National Service Bill. I am absolutely convinced that what you and the President are trying to achieve is just what this country needs. We have so many young people who want to be of service and you are giving them a very meaningful way to be of service. In the process you are also encouraging and enabling them to continue their education. Hopefully, you will find solid support within the Democratic party and a good number of Republicans who are willing to put party politics aside and move forward on this issue. Please know I am going to do everything I can to see that this happens.

Dear Eli, Thank you so much for trekking up to Baltimore to attend our Kick-off event. You were terrific. It's important to connect the service of the young with the sacrifices made by their parents and grandparents. A sense of history helps us see we can take from our past and what we must create anew. I really appreciate your ability to have found funds for our summer program. We have a wonderful group of young people--smart, dedicated and willing to work hard. They are full of enthusiasm and ideas. A case in point: one of our Summer Corps participants who last summer worked for Dan Quayle at the Republican National Convention has now switched his registration to Democrat. It is really impressive to see what progress has been made on the service bill. I know that you haven't been able to take a vacation. For those of us who need your persistent advocacy to make this national service actually come to pass, Thank you.

As I mentioned to you when we talked in New Mexico earlier this year, your tireless and probably sometimes thankless efforts will prove to be the most important work on behalf of our children than almost any other thing this administration will do. I always tell people that I do my most important work after I leave the office because then I work on building solid citizens. I think you actually do your most important work before you leave the office. : thank you on behalf of my three children and the countless others who will have opportunities that might otherwise never be available to them.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President: My son, Daniel, is back at college in Cambridge this week, and I'm feeling the distance between us. Two hundred miles and twenty years -- of difference in the way we see politics and government. At nineteen, he's the skeptic. But after a six week summer stint at the White House working for Eli Segal, Daniel returned almost enthusiastic about the power of politics and the perfectibility of government. I think proximity created the change. It's true that government is so big and complex now that you can see the whole scheme only by stepping way back. But, still, you can come to love politics only by wading in up to your hips. Daniel is one of the fortunate few who go beyond the mass media barrier to actually meet competent public servants. See them tackle a tough problem and achieve workable compromise. And come to know government realistically as something better than the public trough and something less than the perfect solution. As President, you have the best chance to change young people's ideas about government -- by speaking about and to the issue and by including opportunities like Daniel's as integral parts of other programs. Promoting, for example, high school internships and government summer camp in addition to public service for college tuition. Because no televised town meeting can substitute for one first-hand experience of honest politics. Or two weeks in the boiler room. If we did this, we might turn most of our young skeptics into old idealists like ourselves. Like most things that matter, government gets better when you're close.

National service is more than simply a season of service, but an idea that will continue to bear fruit in years to come just as alumni of John F. Kennedy's Peace Corps continue to make significant contributions at all levels of society today. Your efforts will leave a remarkable imprint on American life.

Washington, D.C. 20500 Bli Dear Mr. Segal: I want to take this opportunity to thank you for sending your letter last week, which proved a valuable weapon in our successful effort to defeat the Baker Amendment to the National Service Trust Act. This amendment would have crippled the National Service program. By opposing the Baker amendment, you adamantly declared your determination to make National Service a reality. The amendment, instead of addressing the issue of undocumented immigration, would have seriously handicapped the very groups National Service relies upon to make the program work. I know that you feel as proud as I do that we helped ensure that charitable groups and religious institutions will be able to continue to help people in need.

Segal: I am writing to thank you for your role in making the 1993 Children's Defense Fund (CDF) conference such an overwhelming success. Your presentation in the luncheon plenary session on Friday was a highlight of the conference, and reinforced the leadership role you have played for children, youth and families. Your commitment and dedication to improving the plight of children in our society is impressive and inspiring, and I'm so proud to have leaders like you serving our nation in Washington. More than 2,800 children's advocates, service providers, funders and community and family workers left Washington on Saturday ready to make sure that every child in America has a Head Start, Healthy Start and a Fair Start. Inspired by the dedication and commitment shown by all the speakers at the Conference, these attendees have started a movement for children which will continue to grow stronger as we call upon them to speak for children in their homes, communities, states and nation. Thank you again for your efforts on behalf of America's children. Sincerely yours, Marian Wright Edelman MWE:jh 25 E Street, NW Washington, DC 20001 Telephone 202 628 8787 Fax 202 3510 RK ROBERT F.

Memorial were considering how to commemorate the 25th anniversary of my father's Presidential campaign, we knew we wanted to do something that would reflect the man: his compassion for the disadvantaged, his courage to grow and learn, his raw and disturbing honesty, his realist's knowledge of how to transform policy into action, his appeal to the best instincts in America, his efforts--in the words of Aeschylus-- "To tame the savageness of man, and make gentle the life of the world". Your participation helped to make this possible. The 25th anniversary program in Los Angeles captured the very essence of the message we hoped to send, and I want to thank you. Your keynote address was particularly compelling and a perfect introduction to a day that brought back fond memories for many, and that moved and inspired many others toward building a better future. We accomplished our goal. As part of the 25th anniversary we are planning to produce a book, titled "A Vision for America", from papers collected from the conferences throughout the country. I would very much like to include an entry from you. If you are interested we will need a five to ten-page paper sent to our Washington office by June 15th. Each time a man stands up for an ideal or acts to improve the lot of others or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." Robert F. Kennedy South Africa, 1966 A Once again, I deeply appreciate all you have done to make the 25th anniversary commemoration meaningful and memorable. With warm wishes, Kerry Kerry Hennedy Kennedy Cuomo CUOMO Eli, I was so proud to Sue you in LA. -Thankyou for your know El thoughtful words- and especially for your hard work at national Service. -kemy Timberland ® Jeffrey B.

Your words, and particularly the President's, reached a business person in Boston last night, and made me acknowledge that while the private sector does have a leadership role in making service happen, it is the role of government to establish the principles that govern our nation. A partnership of service providers (CityYear), private enterprises (Timberland) and an enlightened, decentralized, accountable government (Americorp) just might work For so long, government has seemed to me a morally bankrupt institution. At least in the case of national service, a few men and women of principle have forced me to rethink that point of view. At the end of my hard earned day yesterday, I found a reason to believe The Timberland Company 11 MERRILL INDUSTRIAL DRIVE P.O.

I take the liberty of including a copy of the letter I sent to the President, just for your information. Timberland ® Jeffrey B. Swartz Chief Operating Officer September 22, 1993 The President of the United States The White House Washington DC 20500 Dear Mr. President, With pride and admiration, I watched you sign the National Service Act yesterday in Washington. In particular, I was moved by your remarks just before you signed the legislation. Without notes, you spoke straight at me, and your words were powerful. At Timberland, we have worked hard to support national service. We are the leading corporate investor in Boston's (and now the nation's) CityYear program; we have partnered with CityYear in a multitude of ways, from corporate volunteerism to organized community service here in New Hampshire. I was a national co-chair for Americans for National Service; I testified before the Senate, and lobbied with our Senators and Representatives for the passage of the act. I did those "political" things, but reluctantly, because I was not ready to believe that government could do anything "right." I believed (and still worry) that with the Federal government's entry into service would come inefficiency, bureaucracy, inertia. Knowing CityYear viscerally, and depending upon it to help create a better world for my children to grow up into, I worried. The Timberland Company 11 MERRILL INDUSTRIAL DRIVE P.O.

Maybe I have been too cynical, too facile in my criticisms. Maybe Americorp and CityYear and Timberland is the right equation. Anyway, listening yesterday, this is one private enterprise believer who is renewed in his willingness to keep trying. Mr. President, you made a good appointment in Eli Segal; you know that. He, in turn, has made good appointments too-Rick Allen, who is smart and eloquent, and Sarah Whitman, straight from Harvard Business School to the Office of National Service- -these people worked hard to make the legislation happen, and they did a terrific job of keeping us from the private sector involved. Mr. President, we salute your leadership on this issue. This morning, I am more proud of being an American than I have been in a long time. Yours sincerely, Jeffrey B.

Actually, I have been planning to write to you for awhile; but first, I had to take exams, and then I had to start the new semester, and then Anyway, I am finally writing; so, I no longer need to make excuses. I wanted to write to congratulate you and to thank you. I am so excited about your new job. It gives me tremendous confidence in the new administration and in the future knowing that someone as caring and as generous as you is finally running things in Washington. I am sure that some days are so exhausting and frustrating that it seems like Bits and Pieces was a pretty good deal, but I cannot think of anyone whom I would prefer to be in your new position. I think there is no more important project than encouraging and facilitating volunteer service, given the scope of our nation's problems, the extent of people's poverty and the hopelessness that so many people feel. It is very exciting for me to be graduating in this election year. Although I may not be a Clinton supporter down the line, ! cannot help but be infected by the exuberance and enthusiasm that so many people feel about his election. I believe that this enthusiasm and the excitement generated by the changes in Washington are encouraging many smart and talented young people to look to government as a means to do good, rather than as a bunch of rich, old white men who spend a lot of money for very few results. I think that it is precisely this kind of excitement and optimism that ideally will be stimulated by a new national service corps and a renewed ethic of voluntarism. So, I am congratulating and thanking you for committing to such a difficult but important task. I also want to thank you for arranging tickets for me for the innaugural. I know that everyone was asking you for something, but I was so pleased to be in Washington for all the festivities. As you may know, the innauguration was in the middle of my final exams, so it was a welcome break from studying as well as an exciting and memorable couple of days. I hope to see you soon; although, I know that you are unlikely to have a break in the near future.

Segal Assistant to the President and Director, Office of National Service The White House Washington, D.C. Dear Eli: 'Just a quick note to congratulate you on the wonderfully successful campaign you led on behalf of President Clinton and the challenge you have subsequently accepted at the White House. It has been well over 20 years since our paths first crossed with the campaigns of Gene McCarthy and Bobby Kennedy and through our mutual friend (the erstwhile novelist) Frank McDonald. I have followed your career peripherally ever since and couldn't be happier for the country to see you where you are today We have a number of mutual friends in the current Administration. Since I left EPA in the 1970's I continue to make my career in the environmental arena. I hope I have the opportunity to see you one of these busy days. All the best. Sincerely yours, Jub John C.
