Ms. Margaret A. Williams
Chief of Staff to the First Lady
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Ms. Williams:
Thank you for your letter of November 16 and for your
invitation to join the Board of the White House Endowment Fund.
I am honored to be invited to participate on the Board
established to help complete the endowment drive of $25 million
to preserve the great public rooms of the White House, but in
all candor I must decline.
For 1995, I have already agreed to serve as national
corporate chairman for the Phillips Collection's annual drive,
as well as national chairman for the Joint Center for Political
and Economic Studies. In light of these two national
campaigns, I will be unable actively to help the White House
Endowment Fund solicit for its funds next year. I am sure
you can understand my predicament; I fear I would wear out my
welcome everywhere if I undertook such an endeavor at this
time and I would not wish to accept if unable to render my
best efforts.
Please extend to the President and Mrs. Clinton my most
sincere regrets, and hopefully I may be of some service in the
future.
Sincerely,
Mix Mman.
