Mr. Quinn J. Rhodes
23135 Twinflower Avenue
Wildomar, California 92595
Dear Mr. Rhodes:
Thank you very much for your letter. I appreciate and understand your concerns, and I want you
to know that I in no way intended to diminish the artistic value of the film itself. Instead, I hoped
to identify some significant concerns raised by the White House Counsel's Office which
highlight the difference between the use of real footage in "Forrest Gump" and that used in
"Contact."
In the case of, "Forrest Gump," the film producers secured the approval of all the former
presidents or their relatives prior to using their image. In "Contact," the film-makers did not
receive the President's approval. There is a difference when someone uses the President's
image, which is his alone to control, to lead a viewer to imagine that he said something that he
really did not say, and using the President's image in merely a satirical manner. The use of the
President's image and words to make a fictional point in a plot unrelated to the context in which
the President made real remarks is disturbing and has some elements of real concern to the Legal
Counsel.
I hope this helps you understand the White House's objection to President Clinton's portrayal in
the movie, and that you continue to stay involved.
Sincerely,
milimily

1827 I. St. N.W.

Dear Andy,
Thank you for your December 5 note. Please rest assured
that the decision made on December 4 was not precedent setting.
We would have liked to do the December 4 announcement of the
foreign policy team in the East Room as an open press event.
However, due to the holiday season, we had to use the Oval
Office. Given the size of the office and the number of people
involved in the announcement, space was rather tight. While we
did admit the wire and the news magazine photographers, they are
always part of an expanded pool which also includes the daily
newspaper designated for the day. We had at least a dozen
requests to become part of the expanded pool and we had to turn
people down. In hindsight, we probably had enough space to
accommodate the New York Times photographer as we try to do on a
regular basis.
As you are aware, the White House press office has provided
The New York Times' photographers, particularly Paul Hosefros,
exceptional access to not only Presidential events, but to the
President himself. We look forward to a continued working
relationship with you and your bureau.
Sincerely,
Mile
