Washington, D. C. 20500
Dear Ms. Caputo:
I am writing to you at the suggestion of Pam Cicetti. I graduated with the First Lady
and President Clinton from Yale Law School and am class secretary.
However, in addition to my law practice, I have a background in journalism (I
worked for the AP in New York) and currently host a one-hour talk show here in South
Florida. Specifically, the show is called "One-to-One," and is heard on Saturdays, on
WAXY AM radio, from 2:30 to 3:30 P.M. The show appears as part of my husband's four-
hour show styled "Live from Jerusalem."
I have read in several articles lately that Mrs. Clinton is open to appearing on talk
shows and I am writing to request that she appear for a one-hour interview on my show.
WAXY 790 AM is a 25,000 watt station, reaching most of South Florida. It's signal
may be heard from the west coast to the east coast of Florida, and encompasses Palm Beach,
Broward, Dade and Monroe Counties down to Key West. The audience is estimated at
approximately 250,000 (although we have no week-end Arbitron rating as yet). I include for
your information the "Live from Jerusalem" promotional kit, and will be glad to provide
additional information if this would be helpful. As you will see, guests have included former
Secretary of State Alexander Haig and former Israeli Defense Secretary Ariel Sharon. In the
next few weeks, I am scheduled to interview Prof. Steven Duke of the Yale Law School as
well as Victor Navasky, the editor and publisher of The Nation.
The interview can be done by live telephone hook-up, and would be structured to
focus on topics the First Lady wishes to discuss. If useful, I could review questions in
advance with you. Of course, if the First Lady is willing to take calls, this would be of
great interest to our listeners.

Live From Jerusalem
Bridging two hemispheres, the dynamic radio show, Live from Jerusalem, links the
South Florida Jewish community with Israel -- in real time. The show airs Saturdays, from
1:30 to 5:30 P.M. on WAXY 790 AM, a 25,000 watt station covering the Dade, Broward,
Palm Beach, and Monroe County Markets.
Eliezer "Lazie" Rivlin is the host and, as a seventh-generation Jerusalemite, he was
prompted to develop the show's central concept--an amalgam of Israeli politics, music and
sports, which is designed to keep the local Israelis in touch with home, while reaching out to
the many Americans who have ties or interests in Israel. The show offers the news live from
Israel in English and soccer scores are relayed live from Jerusalem when reported. (The
show receives frequent calls from all over the country asking for score updates!).
A popular feature is weekly live interviews with government officials and political
figures who respond, in the Larry King format, to questions from listeners. Guests have
included:
** Alexander Haig -
Former U.S. Secretary of State
** Ariel Sharon
-
Former Israeli Defense Minister
** Misha Aarons
-
Former Israeli Secretary of Defense
** Yossi Sarid
-
Israeli Minister of the Environment
** Uzi Baram
-
Israeli Minister of Tourism
** Moshe Katzav
-
Former Minister of Transportation
** Dan Meridor
-
Former Minister of Justice
All the interviews are live and listeners have the opportunity to call in and ask questions.
Segments of the show also focus on local and national issues: the One-to-One segment
features interviews with well-known professionals and political figures on the domestic scene.
The Legal Corner focuses on topical issues of law.

Live from Jerusalem
Page -2-
It is estimated that there are approximately 100,000 Israelis in the South Florida
listening audience, many of whom are up-scale consumers and, of course, frequent travelers.
In addition, Live from Jerusalem taps the broader Jewish community, whose members
number approximately 650,000 and are demographically in the high percentiles for spending,
earnings, travel and education. WAXY 790's four-county signal reaches these listeners,
giving the show a large, but narrowly targeted market for a broad range of products and
services.
Attached you will find a rate card and promo kit. If you need further information, or
would like a tape of a recent broadcast, contact Live from Jerusalem at 305-856-2114.

RESEARCH
*
Radio reaches 93% of all adults aged 55 and older
at least once a week.
*
The older demographic has the second highest level
of discretionary income per capita of any age
group and controls about 70% of the nation's
wealth.
*
35% of the Nation's population is 55+, and over
50% reside in South Florida.
*
AM stations in particular can benefit from the
older population. Numbers provided by the report
(based on Arbitron ratings) show that AM cume
ratings in the top-25 metro markets, for adults 55
and older, Monday-Sunday 6am to midnight, total
74.5%. Shares of listening are also greater in
the AM dial, totaling 53.7 in the top 25 metro
markets for adults 55 and older, Monday-Sunday,
6am to midnight and 60.9 Monday-Friday, 6am to
10am.

Partial Translation--Israeli Article on Alexander Haig interview on Live from Jerusalem
MAARIV DAILY NEWSPAPER
July 13, 1994

"YOU CAN'T TRUST ASSAD"
This warning was made on an Israeli radio program in Miami by Alexander Haig,
former Secretary of State. Mr. Haig had more interesting statements during the interview, as,
for example, that the Israeli Administration informed the U. S. Administration of its intention to
bomb the Nuclear facilities in Iraq, but the Administration simply forgot about it. What does
Mr. Haig think about Arafat? "I'm not so sure that this man can deliver the goods."
By: Ben Caspet-New York Correspondent
Israel told the U.S. of its intention to bomb the nuclear facility, but the Carter Administration
did not relay this information to the Reagan Administration. And that's why the Israeli bombing
caught the U.S. by total surprise. This is one of the insights former Secretary of State Haig gave
during an interview last week on an Israeli radio program in Miami.
Haig, one of the greatest friends of Israel of all time in a U.S. administration, was a guest on
Lazie Rivlin's show, Life from Jerusalem, which is broadcast every Saturday morning to the Israeli
and Jewish community in Florida. This show airs every Saturday from 7 A.M to 11 A. M., and
includes live, direct news from Israel, sports news from Israel, Israeli music and interviews.
Rivlin reached Haig through Rivlin's Washington connections, and the former Secretary of
State delivered the goods willingly
"After the bombing, I was attending an emergency cabinet meeting, where Vice-President
Bush and Secretary of Defense Weinberger stood up and urged an immediate boycott of all aid to
Israel--economic and military. Then I was the last one to speak, and I said to President Reagan that,
before we know it, we'll find ourselves on our knees thanking the good Lord for Israel and what she
has done. As we all know, this prophesy was fully fulfilled. If the Iraqis had had a nuclear weapon
during the Gulf War, there is no doubt in my mind that they would have used it against our forces."
Rivlin asked about a possible visit by Arafat to Jerusalem. Haig's answer:
"The true question is how to protect the future of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel under
Israeli sovereignty."
To another Rivlin question about Assad and the Golan Heights, Haig said he doesn't trust
Assad at all and the issue is to demilitarize the Golan Heights to avoid any Syrian attack.

Exceptional Women is a program created by Candy O'Terry
and Gay Vernon. The Foundation of American Women in Radio
and Television honored Exceptional Women this year with an
award "for excellence in programming devoted to the
advancement of women."
The majority of our listeners are women, and although our
public affairs programming is geared toward their
interests, we wanted to take our public service commitment
one step further.
Now more than ever, women are being called upon to assume
multiple roles at home, in the office, and within society.
The women's movement has empowered us, but the weight of
the burden to succeed can be overwhelming. Role models
can guide us all, and inspire us to create fulfilling
lives of our own.
Exceptional Women are out there. Some make headlines, and
others make things happen quietly, in their lives and in
the lives of the people they love. Exceptional Women
aren't hard to find. They're your neighbors and your
friends, and we want you to meet them. If you know
someone who has overcome obstacles or beaten the odds in
the toughest of times, we'd like to hear her story. Just

Karen Finney
Deputy Press Secretary
For First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton
The White House
Washington, D.C.
Dear Ms. Finney:
Today's newspapers are reporting about a meeting Mrs. Clinton had
with journalists, "as part of a program designed to improve
coverage of children's issues." I believe an interview on the
WOL News Talk Network would give the First Lady an opportunity
for excellent coverage of her children's agenda, crusade against
breast cancer and any other issues of her choosing.
The WOL News Talk Network airs on WOL 1450 AM in Washington and
WOLB 1010 AM in Baltimore. They are two of the seven stations
owned by Cathy Hughes, an African American woman and pioneer in
urban talk. Ms. Hughes is also the host of her own talk show,
airing Monday through Friday from 2 to 6 pm. A conversation
between these two exciting women would be fantastic radio. Most
of all, the discussion would show our African American listeners
that they have friends in the White House.
Our prime time talk shows air from sun up to sun down. As a
result, we can schedule a live interview, with any of our hosts,
any time Mrs. Clinton's schedule permits. We would prefer an
in-studio interview, between 30 and 60 minutes. However, a phone
interview of a shorter length would be acceptable.
I have attached background information about Cathy Hughes and
our stations. I look forward to hearing from you very soon.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Doxie Pokeameloy McCoy

Biographical Sketch
Catherine Hughes presently serves as CEO and Owner of Radio One Inc. of
Washington, D.C. This company owns Radio One of Maryland and Music One which
owns N.A. S. Music. Radio One, a multi million dollar corporation owns and operates six
radio properties: WOL AM and WMMJ-FM in Washington, D.C., WWIN AM/FM and
WERQ-FM/WOLBAM in Baltimore. The company maintains offices and broadcast
facilities in both cities and employs over two hundred staff. In addition to performing her
duties as CEO, Cathy Hughes, hosts a daily talk show that maintains itself as a consistent
ratings leader that translates into an estimated 50% of the station's revenue. Her show has
been cited as Washington's most influential program, reaching over 70% of the African
American community. The station is recognized continuously for its active community
involvement.
Cathy also serves as a member of the Small Business Advisory Committee for the
US Federal Reserve Board, Fifth District. In this capacity she apprises the Board of
current trends in business and agriculture issues, advises the Board on the impact of the
prime rate, keeps the Board abreast of the slate and conditions of the labor market, and the
start up and expansion of small businesses. She constantly monitors the flow of monetary
information to keep the Board on the cutting edge of issues relevant to the Fifth District.
Ms. Hughes was born

and served as Executive Director of Project Equality, a Ford Project that monitored the EEO
and Affirmative Action Programs in Nebraska, Iowa, and South Dakota. In 1971, Cathy
Hughes moved to Washington, D.C. to become a lecturer in the newly established School
of Communications at Howard University. As assistant to the Dean in the School of
Communications, she was instrumental in the development of a curriculum that would
receive national accreditation.
In 1973, Cathy Hughes began her transition into radio as General Sales Manager at
WHUR Howard University Radio. Her skills in sales and marketing strategies turned the
station into the University's first profit venue in its 100 year history, increasing the revenue
from $250,000.00 to $3,000,000.00. In 1975, she became the nation's capital's first
female Vice President and General Manager of a broadcast facility. It was there, that she
created the phenomenal format known as the "Quiet Storm". This format is the most
listened to nighttime radio in the country and is presently heard in over thirty markets
across the nation. The creative programming under Ms. Hughes leadership moved WHUR
from #38 to #3 in the market.
Cathy Hughes became the Vice President and General Manager of WYCB-AM,
Washington, D.C. with the responsibility to create a new concept in radio format known
today as Contemporary Gospel Radio. This involved re-establishing a frequency that had
been off the air for 12 years. Building the physical plant, staffing the facility and
developing sales and marketing strategies to generate revenue to support the new concept,
were the challenges of this position. The result was a new format that was credited with
changing the presentation of religious programming in black radio.

Acquiring WOL AM in 1980, Hughes pioneered another innovative format for
radio "Black Talk". With the theme "Information is Power", WOL AM has become the
most listened to talk programming in the metropolitan area. WMMJ-FM, purchased in
1987, is one of the areas most popular stations for adults ages 25-54. With the purchase of
WOLB in Baltimore, Black Talk has been expanded between the two cities. WWIN
AM/FM and WERQ are making an impact in the Baltimore area with an estimated 500,000
listeners to the four Radio One properties. Her present challenge is to put together a
strategy to make WERQ (Q 92.3 FM) the number one, most respected station in Baltimore,
while holding the attention of black youngsters, without the negative lyrics that presently
target them.
Community service is one of Cathy Hughes' top priorities. Her major community
service projects include The Piney Woods Summer Camp that allows inner city youngsters
to spend time during the summer at Piney Woods Country Life School, a highly successful
African American boarding school in Mississippi; and the "Dream Feast" where celebrity
servers mingle and enjoy a night out with homeless people. She personally sponsors both
of these projects. Cathy Hughes has received numerous awards and citations over the
years, ranging from community service awards from local chapters of national fraternities
to Entrepreneur, Business Woman or Owner of the Year by such professional
organizations as the Capitol Press Club, the DC Chamber of Commerce and Broadcaster
of the Week or Year by Impact and Billboard Magazine. She has also been recognized as
one of the 100 most powerful and 100 most influential persons by Washingtonian and
Regardies Magazines.
With the acquisition of WKYS-FM Radio One will be a major marketing force in
Washington. Cathy Hughes continues to strive toward her definitive goal of building an
empire with its foundation in African American radio, by exploring ventures that generate
revenues and opportunities within the African American community. Her skills in
planning, revenue building, sales and marketing strategies and her keen knowledge and
understanding of financial management will assist her in achieving this goal.

For First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton
The White House
Washington, D.C.
Dear Ms. Finney:
Today's newspapers are reporting about a meeting Mrs. Clinton had
with journalists, "as part of a program designed to improve
coverage of children's issues." I believe an interview on the
WOL News Talk Network would give the First Lady an opportunity
for excellent coverage of her children's agenda, crusade against
breast cancer and any other issues of her choosing.
The WOL News Talk Network airs on WOL 1450 AM in Washington and
WOLB 1010 AM in Baltimore. They are two of the seven stations
owned by Cathy Hughes, an African American woman and pioneer in
urban talk. Ms. Hughes is also the host of her own talk show,
airing Monday through Friday from 2 to 6 pm. A conversation
between these two exciting women would be fantastic radio. Most
of all, the discussion would show our African American listeners
that they have friends in the White House.
our prime time talk shows air from sun up to sun down. As a
result, we can schedule a live interview, with any of our hosts,
any time Mrs. Clinton's schedule permits. We would prefer an
in-studio interview, between 30 and 60 minutes. However, a phone
interview of a shorter length would be acceptable.
I have attached background information about Cathy Hughes and
our stations. I look forward to hearing from you very soon.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
sincerely,

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
I write today to invite you to appear as a guest on 51%, a radio program devoted to
information and analysis of social, economic, political, and educational issues affecting women
today.
51%, created more than five years ago and sponsored by Russell Sage College and public
radio station WAMC, is broadcast to more than 150 stations in the United States, Canada, and
Mexico via the National Public Radio Satellite System. In addition, Voice of America and Armed
Forces Radio bring us to some 127 countries on more than 400 stations. I serve as co-host for
51% along with Beth Engeler, of WAMC, who is our producer.
As a college for women, Russell Sage College takes great pride in its sponsorship of 51%.
By design, the program explores a wide variety of topics, from literature and the arts to
economics, family, health, politics, and education, evidence of our belief that all issues are of
interest to women. Further, we believe that issues which particularly interest and affect women
matter to everyone.
In an interview that would be taped in Washington at your convenience, we would ask you
to speak from your unique perspective on several of the most pressing and complex issues of the
day including education, welfare reform, and health care. In addition, we would like to provide
our listeners with a more informal glimpse of The First Lady, perhaps asking you to reflect on
topics beyond those frequentiy posed by the media. One of these might be the challenges of
accurate communication in an era when even media leaders seem to recognize a loss of public
confidence in their reporting about policies and persons of importance to all of us.
I hope you will accept our invitation and allow us to bring your voice directly to our many
listeners. I would be happy to provide further information about 51% or answer any questions you
may have.
Meanwhile, I shall look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
I was happy to hear you express your fondness for talk radio when
you were interviewed on ABC radio yesterday. You were quoted as
saying that if the opportunity ever presented itself, you would
love to be a part of a talk radio program.
On behalf of the T.J. Walker Show, I would like to formally offer
you a position as co-host of my show. The T.J. Walker program
premiered on January 4, 1995--the same day the new Republican
controlled Congress convened. Currently the program airs live 10:00
P.M. to Midnight (E.S.T.) The program is now syndicated in 30
markets across the country.
Logistically, you will be able to serve as co-host from a phone
hook-up at the White House. You could do as many or as few shows as
your schedule permits. As co-host, you would have the option of
setting the agenda of topics and of bringing on your own guests.
My show, and I hope our show, will be different from the usual talk
programs that dwell on negativism and cynicism. Together, we can
tell the American people the truth about the good things that are
happening to our country and the many fine accomplishments of the
Clinton Administration.
Unfortunately, at this time I cannot offer you a $4.5 million
salary, but I'm sure we can work out something. Thanks for your
consideration.

On this evening's "T.J. Walker Show" I discussed, in detail, the
5.6 million new jobs created by President Clinton during the last
two years. I received a call from a Ms. Sharon Johnson who informed
me that she was laid off during the Bush Administration. But she
has fared much better during the Clinton Administration. During the
last two years she has first, gotten a good, new job. Second, she
has started her own successful small business.
This women came across as sincere, genuine, and articulate. She was
most appreciative of President Clinton and the work of your
Administration. She attributed her success to Clinton policies.
I suggest she may be helpful to you when you are seeking
testimonials for radio and television commercials and videos.

Dear Mr. Lattimore:
I am writing to follow-up on your discussion last Friday on

to co-host with them on Friday afternoon's between 4 and 6pm.
First, a little about us, WMVU is a News/Talk AM radio station

areas of Southern New Hampshire and Northern Massachusetts. The
program in question, "The Woody & A1 Show" airs every Friday from

look at New Hampshire and national politics.
In response to Mrs. Clinton's comments about being on a talk show,

Woody & A1 as a guest host every Friday for half an hour or more
between 4 and 6pm via telephone, or when her schedule permits, live

Talk show. If you have such an interest, I would like
to offer you a program, at no cost, on our Talk America

I would propose to you a Saturday afternoon or Sunday

newest equipment would give you excellent voice reproduction
quality and you could control all aspects of your program
and take calls from listeners around the country if you
wish.
We have 240 affiliates around the country that we would
offer the program to and, in addition, we would make the
program available to every radio station in the United
States via three satellites at no cost to them.
I submit to you that such a program would be a wonderful
vehicle for you to communicate with the American people
on a one to one basis and we would be honcred if you would
accept our invitation.
Thank you for your consideration and best wishes.

Dear Ms. Caputo:
First let me wish you a belated happy New Year. I hope 1995 is a prosperous
one for both you and the administration. Just wanted to drop you a line and
make a formal request of the First Lady. We are currently in the process of
of developing a one hour "Mother's Day" tribute which we are planning to air
May 14th (Mother's Day) on a number of urban formated radio stations across
the country and would like to include Mrs. Clinton.
This music intensive entertainment special will include interviews with such
artists as Anita Baker, Vanessa Williams, Barry White, Brandy and BeBe &
CeCe Winans. Music in the special will pay tribute to mothers songs like
"I'll Always Love My Mama" by the Intruders and "Grandma's Hands" by Bill
Withers. It promises to be an exciting and entertaining tribute and we'd
like the First Lady to be a part of it.
We would like to provide her with ninety seconds to deliver a special message
and wish listeners a happy Mother's Day. The message would be aired unedited
in the special and we would take excerpts and use them in our national newscasts,
after the special has aired. Enclosed please find a background folder on the
network, including a list of stations that air our programming.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to call. You
may reach me directly at 412-456-4039. I look forward to your favorable

conduct the interview.
SCIENCE MONITOR
Ms. Basco has been the host and senior producer of Monitor radio's Weekend
Edition for more than three years. Her radio experience includes arts reporting for
National Public Radio, and hosting at Boston's WGBH-FM. She also worked for
Monitor Television, reporting on the arts for the evening news. Before coming to
broadcast, she was a print journalist with long experience as an arts critic, as well as
writing about the environment, and general assignment reporting for daily
newspapers. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Chicago
Sun, Washingtonian Magazine, and many other publications.
The interview would entail issues that Ms. Clinton is involved in, how she has dealt
with the attention she has received from the press and others, what she hopes to
accomplish between now and the end of President Clinton's first term. This
interview would be part of a series we are doing with internationally renowned
political women such as Hanan Ashrawi, who heads an independent Palestinian
human rights commission. As this would be pre-recorded, it would be cut down for
time if necessary.
We would like to set up this interview at Ms. Clinton's convenience. The only days
that are difficult for us are Fridays as we record the show that day. We have a
studio in Washington, D.C., at 910 16th St. NW, or we could send an engineer to a
place of her choice to record her as we conduct a phone interview.
I am faxing you information on Monitor Radio. If you need additional information,

Karen Finney, Press Office, Office of the First Lady
Fax 202/456-7805
Dear Ms. Finney:
I read a recent article by David Maraniss in the Washington
Post National Weekly Edition in which First Lady Hillary
Rodham Clinton is quoted as saying she is interested in
speaking on radio talk shows --at least on "shows where people
are willing to talk instead of yell. I am writing to invite
the First Lady to be our guest on the Minnesota Public Radio
"MIDDAY" program, which is an hour long program with a single
guest. It is hosted by our most senior news anchor, Gary
Eichten, and is heard throughout Minnesota and parts of Iowa,
Wisconsin, Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and North and South
Dakota.
The program features calls from our public radio listeners,
and they "talk" and don't "yell." Former Vice President Walter
Mondale comes in to the studio at least once a year to do a
program like this, and former Senator Dave Durenberger and
current Senators Paul Wellstone and Rod Grams have been
frequent hour-long guests. I believe they have all found the
experience to be worthwhile and have remarked afterward about
the quality of the calls and the discussion. We would be
honored to have the First Lady be our guest on one of these
programs. It is a daily program which is broadcast LIVE fom
12-1 Central Time, and is repeated on tape at 9 p.m. for our
evening audience. We could arrange studio space and satellite
time from National Public Radio or WAMU or Monitoradio in
Washington, at the First Lady's convenience. Please let me
know if you are interested in doing a program like this. Thank
you for considering this request.
Sincerely,
Sara meyer
