THE WHITE HOUSE
January 27, 1994
The Honorable Mark O. Hatfield
United States Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Senator Hatfield:
When we spoke last spring, you
expressed particular interest in medical
research. I am writing to bring to your
attention some of the health research
initiatives in the Health Security Act
that are so essential in eliminating
disease and disability.
Funding is expanded for biomedical
and behavioral research, targeting
illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease,
breast cancer, heart disease and AIDS. A
significant investment is made in health
promotion and disease prevention research.
Finally, a new health services research
initiative includes quality and outcome
measurement, the development of clinical
practice guidelines and evaluation of
primary care services.
I look forward to working with you in
the coming months on this and other
issues.
Sincerely yours,
Hillary tillary Rodham Clinton

Dear Dons. Clinton
I was pleased to join several of my colleagues
in meeting with you to discuss the work of the
White House Task Force on National Health Care.
Your leadership on health care reform is
inspiring -- thank you for the passion and
intelligence you bring to this process.
Unfortunately, the press of Senate business
caused me to the leave the gathering before I
had the opportunity to ask you about the role
of medical research in comprehensive health
care reform. I write today to ask you whether
the Administration views medical research as an
essential mechanism for limiting health care
costs and improving productivity by providing
the treatments and cures which will ultimately
eliminate disease and reduce disability?
I look forward to the next opportunity we will
have to work together on the important dual
concerns of access and quality in the health
care system.
Kindest regards.
Sincerely,
P.S. Plan
