SIGNING OF THE GREEK INDEPENDENCE DAY PROCLAMATION
DATE:
March 25, 1994
LOCATION:
Oval Office
TIME:
10:30 - 10:45 a.m.
FROM:
Alexis Herman
ama
AmH
Anthony Lake
when
I.
PURPOSE
To sign the Greek Independence Day Proclamation.
II. CONTEXT FOR THE EVENT
Since 1986, Presidents have signed a proclamation marking
March 25 as Greek Independence Day. This day marks the
anniversary of the revolution that freed Greeks from nearly
400 years of the Ottoman Empire and is a celebration of
American and Greek democracy. Last year, you hosted 240
Greek-Americans in the East Room to witness the proclamation
signing. That celebratory event was an opportunity to
acknowledge the support of Greek-Americans.
The Greek-Americans in attendance this year including
Archbishop Iakovos will include some of those with whom
you met on March 9. A participants list is noted below.
Archbishop Iakovos lost two of his closest associates in a
tragic car accident late last week. Chancellor of the
Archdiocese Father Germanos Stavropoulos and Chief Secretary
and close personal friend of the Archbishop Father Demetrius
Frangos were killed on their way from annual church meetings
in New York. Rep. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Angelo
Tsakopoulos of California were invited to this event, but
were unable to attend.
Among the Greek participants will be Deputy Foreign Minister
George Papandreou, son of Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou.
The younger Papandreou is in town to coordinate arrangements
for his father's visit to Washington and your meeting on
April 22. He will likely not use this occasion to explore
substantive issues with you but may commend the positions
you have taken on Cyprus and Macedonia.
2
Core Points
Reaffirm the strong relationship between Greece and the
United States; acknowledge our shared commitment to
democracy.
Praise the contributions of Greece as NATO ally and
member (and leader) of the European Union.
Acknowledge the contributions of Greek Americans to
American society.
Key Points
-
Macedonia (If Raised). Matthew Nimetz is going to the
region to help achieve a solution to the impasse. We
view diplomatic relations with FYROM in the context of
our effort to help advance the process. We will not
move forward until there is some progress.
Cyprus (If Raised). I am encouraged that the talks to
finalize the CBMs have begun. Problems will surface,
but we will continue to be active to help overcome
them. The CBMs are not the end of the process, but a
good beginning. We will keep working with the Turks to
see that Denktash is constructive.

for the Department of Education. "It's stressful
because you know it's your responsibility to
educate whites who have a sincere interest in
understanding an issue. But it's more like work
when you should just be socializing. If it's a
black social setting, it's more like sharing ideas
than educating."
The social networks that provide a forum to
share ideas in Prince George's have grown over
the past decade. Churches and traditional black
middle-class social and professional organiza-
tions - like the Links, Jack and Jill and graduate
chapters of black fraternities and sororities -
have increased their membership in the county,
some by as much as fourfold.

black, compared with 22 percent in 1971-72.
There is widespread agreement among black
and white parents to move away from busing as
a means of achieving racial balance, which
doesn't occur naturally, because of residential
separation in Prince George's. Many parents
want the school system to continue to build its
nationally lauded magnet programs, which fea-
ture specialized classes meant to attract a di-
verse student population.
But there is dissension over the new multicul-
tural curriculum: many white parents object to it,
while some black parents are pushing for an
Afrocentric approach.

Hodari Abdul-Ali, who owns a chain of book-
stores in the area, says, "I know that what hap-
pened to Rodney King can happen anywhere, but
there's much less likelihood of it happening here."
Abdul-Ali's main store had been located near
Howard University in Washington. Two years
ago, after Abdul-Ali noticed an increasing num-
ber of customers were coming from Prince
George's County, he opened a store there. It
outsells his four other stores.

The Ms. Foundation Healthy Girls / Healthy Women Roundtable is the beginning of a new
initiative. We urgently need a new approach to research on women's mental and physical

Through the support of Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation, the Ms. Foundation for Women is
convening prominent researchers and practitioners to shape a comprehensive, national
research agenda to explore factors that keep girls healthy into and through womanhood. In
ago
the long-term, the Ms. Foundation hopes to take action so that this agenda will attract
attention and substantial resources. We are interested in identifying the unique strengths
found in girls from different racial and ethnic communities, as well as with differing abilities
and sexual orientations, and in exploring how these strengths are developed.

HEALTHY GIRLS / HEALTHY WOMEN
RESEARCH ROUNDTABLE
March 29, 1994
Purpose:
Through the support of the Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation, the Ms. Foundation for
Women is gathering researchers and practitioners from psychology, public health, medicine and
education to answer the not-so-simple question: What do we know and what do we need to know
in order to maintain girls' mental and physical health through the transition of adolescence into
womanhood?
This gathering, the Ms. Foundation Healthy Girls / Healthy Women Research Roundtable
is not a conference but a working meeting to produce two outcomes: first, the collection of
information about maintaining girls' health that researchers already know, and, second, the
creation of a national research agenda that, in the long-term, will lead to the development of truly
preventive health care for girls and women.
Context:
We urgently need a new approach to research on women's mental and physical health.
As we move toward universal health care based on prevention, the reality is that we know little
about maintaining girls' and women's health throughout the life span. What information that
exists has often not been disseminated to the practitioners and individuals who need it most. The
historical exclusion of women from research samples -- only recently begun to be rectified -- has
contributed to the dearth of information that could lead to preventive care. This research, while
extremely important, does not provide a longitudinal perspective that could explore the roots of
disease in women. Moreover, the current controversy about whether or how mental health care
should be included in the proposed universal health care is an issue that affects women far more
than men. A recent nationwide study reported in the Archives of General Psychiatry indicated
that young women are disproportionately among the 14% of Americans who account for 89% of
the most serious psychiatric disorders -- and that their troubles typically began in adolescence.
Content:
The Roundtable will focus on the transition of adolescence because adolescence is a
critical time in the development of healthy young women. Through the efforts of the Ms.
Foundation's Take Our Daughters To Work Day and the American Association of University
Women's reports on girls' loss of self-esteem, the public is becoming aware that adolescence has
a different, and more negative, impact on girls than on boys. While girls in early childhood are
less likely than boys to exhibit signs of mental distress, at adolescence this is reversed a pattern
of difference in mental illness that persists through adulthood. Cultural pressures on girls often
lead to destructive behaviors that undermine health -- such as smoking and eating disorders --
seen far more frequently in girls than boys. And, girls are far more likely than boys to report
being targets of sexual and physical abuse by trusted intimates.
The themes of the Roundtable are resilience, resistance, and reframing. Resilience refers
to the capacity -- biological, temperamental, intellectual, psychological and physical -- of an
individual to bounce back after stress. Resilience depends on close, confiding interpersonal
relationships with others and the development of competences that are important to the individual
and to society. Yet, it is at adolescence when girls' relationships become most treacherous, begin
to feel less connected to their families, and start to doubt their abilities to achieve what they most
desire. This is why resistance is key.
Resistance is the healthy capacity for an individual to struggle against loss and the
internalization of culturally-based devaluation. Recent research indicates that girls who resist
adopting cultural conventions of femininity are less at risk for eating disorders, pregnancy and
STDs, depression and low self-esteem. Girls from different classes, races, ethnic groups as well
as differing abilities and sexual orientations have learned how to be resilient and to resist these
damaging conventions in different ways. These girls have simply not been studied. Health and
well-being for women -- particularly mental health -- have been defined in ways that interpret
girls' compliance with feminine standards as normal and healthy.
Reframing what it is that "health" means for girls and women and how it is that
researchers approach the question is critical in developing appropriate preventive health care.
Participants and Observers:
The Roundtable is unique in bringing together researchers with practitioners and program
developers, in attempting to keep mind and body together by joining psychologists and medical
specialists, and in creating an opportunity for eminent researchers from a variety of racial and
ethnic backgrounds to develop an agenda that is inclusive of all girls and sensitive to cultural
contexts. The Roundtable will be observed by representatives from Congressional staff offices,
girls' programs, women's health organizations, managed health care providers, and foundations.
Ms. Foundation officers plan to meet with these observers and other opinion leaders following
the Roundtable to explore how to disseminate what we know and how to move forward with the
research agenda.

Dear Alexis:
On April 22, 1993, President Clinton dedicated the United
States Holocaust Memorial Museum. He said:
"This Museum will touch the life of
everyone who enters and leave everyone
forever changed -- a place of deep
sadness and a sanctuary of a bright hope;
an ally of education against ignorance,
of humility against arrogance, an
investment in a secure future against
whatever insanity lurks ahead. If this
Museum can mobilize morality, then those
who have perished will thereby gain a
measure of immortality."
On the occasion of the first anniversary of the Opening
of the Museum, I am honored to invite you and your family to
a special evening reception and tour for White House senior
advisers on Tuesday, March 29, 1994 from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
During the evening we will have the opportunity to dedicate
the excerpt of President Clinton's remarks which are now
inscribed at the entrance to the Museum.
During the past 10 months, 1.6 million people have
visited this unique institution of education and remembrance.
Thousands visit each day, and 200 Members of Congress and many
governors and mayors have visited. Hundreds of foreign
service officers, US ambassadors and officials from the State
Department, Pentagon, CIA, and other agencies have visited --
in addition to 22 heads of state and scores of
parliamentarians from around the world.

These leaders and the general public leave the Museum
better understanding the many lessons of the Holocaust and
their keen relevance for our times. Indeed, the Museum has
left a lasting impression and increased sensitivity to matters
of conscience as individuals and as citizens of the world.
We hope you will be able to join us on March 29. Please

The Maritime Administration (MARAD) Women's Council would like
to invite you to speak at its annual Women's History Month
Observance on Wednesday, March 30, 1994, at 10:00 a.m.
Our Observance theme is, "Just the Facts Ma'am: Women's
Contributions to the Workplace - Past, Present and Future."
As a guest speaker, we would be pleased to have you share your
perceptions on our theme. While the program is planned for
one hour, your presentation, provided your calendar permits
your attendance, should range from 20-30 minutes beginning at
approximately 10:05 a.m. We will meet in ROOM 6200 of the
Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, SW,
Washington, D.C. An early confirmation of your attendance
will certainly assist my efforts in planning the balance of
the program.
Attached is an Overview of the MARAD Women's Council which
provides information on our goals and objectives.
If you are able to participate on the program, I will arrange
for visitor parking in the Department's underground parking
facility upon notification from your office. Thank you for

CDC Fact Sheet
Membership: CDC affiliate clubs reach out to over 10,000 grassroot Democrats each
month. We are an all volunteer organization with clubs throughout the State
linked together via the CDC programs and leadership network to promote the
Democratic Party.
Political Action: Our political action reports reflect the "inside story" in
Sacramento. Workshops available to member clubs de-mystify the legislative
process. CDC letter writing campaigns and annual lobby day assure that our
positions on issues are heard.
Campaign Services: Workshops on Voter Registration, Running a Club
Headquarters, PAC Reporting, and issues organizing have been presented to
thousands of CDC affiliated members. CDC endorses candidates that reflect the view
of grassroot democrats and we are not afraid to take bold positions that clearly define
what it means to be a Democrat.
Issues: Club resolutions passed at the annual CDC Convention form the basis for
the CDC platform. Issues workshops help club members get the facts on an issues
before taking a position. CDC positions are channeled through the State and
National Party platform process. In addition, CDC lobbies its positions directly with
the leadership in Sacramento and Washington D. C.
Affiliation & Representation: Chartered Democratic Clubs are eligible to affiliate
with the CDC for a basic annual fee of $20.00 plus $3.00 per member for a minimum
of 20 members. Club representatives attend regional, area and statewide CDC
meetings and participate in the committee and caucus structure. Each Club can send
delegates to the annual CDC convention featuring workshops and speakers. All
costs are as low as possible to maximize participation.
Communications: The CDC office, staffed by volunteers is just a toll free call away
at 1-800-447-9709 or 1-800-481-9356. The "Grassroot Democrat" newsletter keeps club
members informed. Plus club Presidents receive additional mailers of information
to share with their members.
Democratic Pride: Only in CDC will you find the "family" atmosphere unique to
the grassroots. If you have not been part of CDC for the past six years, then its time
to come home! We celebrate our diversity and respect the diversity of opinions that
make us Democrats. CDC is a place for those who want to get involved but want to
avoid the game playing and personal agendas of the larger political process.

Marches,
In his photographs, Gilles Peress bridges the gap between art and journalism. Farewell
to Bosnia is a documentary project that focuses on the impact of war on the Bosnian
civilian population. It describes in almost cinematic terms some of the Bosnian
Corcora
experiences. "Refugees are on the road, drifting through the rain, moving through
camps and hospitals, an endless cavalry of images flashing by in a blur: exhaustion, too
many images, too much horror. The witnesses become indifferent," says Peress. This
exhibition reveals a new look at the physical and psychological landscape of this
embattled nation from the point of view of a visitor traveling from the countryside into
the city of Sarajevo.

Farewell to Bosnia: New Photographs by Gilles Peress was organized by the Corcoran
Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., and the Fotomuseum Winterthur, Switzerland. Major
funding for this exhibition and its related programs has been provided by the Glen
Eagles Foundation, Washington, D.C., and by the Soros Foundation/Open Society
Fund-Bosnia and Herzegovina. Additional support has been provided by the President's
Exhibition Fund at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. Gilles Peress' project in Bosnia was
produced by Fondation de France, Paris.
