WHAT IS THE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON FAN CLUB?
The fan club is a citizens' organization started in 1992 by Ruth
and Eugene Love in Silver Spring, Maryland, and now has international
status with 158 chapters in the United States and nine foreign
countries (Canada, Chile, Denmark, Great Britain, Guam, India, Japan,
Mexico and The Netherlands). The world-wide membership is over
22,000 and growing by word of mouth and membership drives.
An individual or two (designated as "Coordinator" and "Co-coordinator")
can establish a chapter by obtaining fan club documents and enrolling
50 members, then registering the group with the state-wide/country
coordinator who then files the chapter with Mr. and Mrs. Love.
The Susquehanna Valley Chapter has earned the distinction of having
the highest membership in Pennsylvania, out of 36 chapters within
the state, and the number is growing to nearly 300.
The HRCFC is not constrained to a member's political party registration;
chapter memberships, across the nation, include Independents, Republi-
cans and Democrats.
As supporters of First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, fan club members,
women AND men, represent the temperate and fair-minded sector of
human behavior who admire and respect her model of a successful career
woman and mother who can stand on her own to advocate the modern need
to address and improve quality-of-life issues of today and the future.
Each chapter of the HRCFC develops its own methods of showing support
for our first lady and her endeavors to improve the lives of people
here and abroad. A chapter may also develop programs and projects
to support public interest issues in their local areas.
As a not-for-profit organization the promotion of public awareness
programs is conducted by volunteer work of chapter members, including
the coordinators. The funding of the chapters' programs depends on
voluntary contributions of money from interested parties outside of
the fan club organization, as well as from chapter members.

We commend your courageous and energetic efforts to promote the advancement of women
and children around the world. You give visibility to these issues that only your personal
involvement can convey. Similar high profile attention is urgently needed in California
this year.
Your presence would allow us to exceed all previous endeavors to honor and celebrate the
accomplishments of individual women lawyers in this country. And in addition, it would
give a tremendous boost to our efforts to organize women for action in 1996.
Your early response would be greatly appreciated.

Innocent Children
Silently Plead
For Our Understanding
and Protection
Declaration:
Every year. throughout the United States, millions of innocent children face the
scourge of child abuse and neglect. These crimes are often unreported and
unpunished because they occur in the privacy of the American home. Maltreatment
of innocent children may be the number one contributing factor to this current fire
storm of crime and violence in our society. Absent socialization skills often lend
themselves to random violence, gang violence, domestic violence and perpetuate
child abuse and neglect. Statistics clearly reflect that children face more bodily
danger and emotional trauma at the hands of parents and relatives in the privacy of
their own homes than on our streets or in our schools. Furthermore, parents,
relatives and caretakers, be informed: children are full human beings in their own
right and deserve adequate nutrition, shelter and to live free of emotional, physical
and sexual abuse.
Texas Democratic State Convention
Dallas, Texas
June 6-8 1996
Submitted for Adoption by the Resolutions Committee
Resolution:
Whereas, the National Democratic Party of these United States of America can
and must set the national agenda regarding the adequate protection of America's
children. Therefore, be it resolved, that our National Democratic Party can and must
be seriously concerned about widespread child abuse and neglect. The National
Democratic Party leadership should wholeheartedly support educating and informing
people who reside in and throughout the United States of America about the
prevailing epidemic of child abuse and neglect. We must support raising the
consciousness of the citizenry so that they will insist that children be afforded the
rights that adults assume, these rights being: quality of life, reasonable liberty and the
opportunity to pursue happiness throughout one's lifetime. Child abuse and neglect
can and must be prevented!

Michael Doyle, my colleague, told me that he spoke to you earlier this month about our
plans to start a Center For Research on Child Well-being at Princeton. He also said that you
expressed an interest in the Center and a willingness to help us launch the new venture. This
is wonderful news! I cannot imagine a better person than yourself to provide the keynote
address at our inaugural dinner next spring, and, as Center Director, I hope that I can persuade
you to honor us with your presence and remarks. As far as I know, the Woodrow Wilson
School will be the first major school of Public Policy to establish a Center devoted explicitly to
children's policies. My hope is that we will become a valuable resource for policy makers as
well as for faculty and students here at Princeton.
I will be in touch with your staff about possible dates for the spring dinner. Please
provide me with a contact person to communicate the information to. We are very flexible
about the time and will do whatever we can to accommodate your schedule. Most importantly,
we want you to come and help us celebrate. Thank you for your interest and I look forward to

Dear Vanessa:
The President recently created the "Advisory Commission on Consumer Protection and
Quality in the Health Care Industry." As we discussed, I believe I am eminently qualified
and would be of great assistance, if I were a member of the Commission. For many
years, I have been deeply involved with the concepts and practices of our healthcare
financing and delivery system. I know the dynamics of the healthcare market firsthand:
1) as CEO of a major HMO in South Florida (Neighborhood Health Partnership), and 2)
as President of John Alden Health, (providing indemnity and PPO insurance products).
I have dealt with the full breadth of our industry.
I know this industry not just from a businessperson's perspective but also, from the
forefront of the public policy debate. In 1989, I served on Florida's Task Force on
Private Sector Healthcare Responsibility and in 1991, Governor Chiles appointed me to
his Healthcare Work Group. I am currently on the board of Florida's Agency for Health
Care Administration. I also served on Dade County's Indigent Care Task Force which
examined Dade County's massive uninsured and underinsured problems. I have been
Chair and am currently a member of the Health Council of South Florida, the area's
premier healthcare planning organization. I have attached a list of organizations that I
believe are pertinent in representing my breadth of experience.
Incidentally, I was also a national speaker for the President's Health Care Plan and
testified to Congress as an industry witness in favor of the Plan.
Let's discuss.

FAMILY COMMUNITY
MODEL
IN HARMONY is committed to providing a permanent home and
community for children where they will live in harmony with themselves
and the world around them.
MISSION STATEMENT
In Harmony is a not-for-profit corporation organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes including
assisting children in acquiring the necessary values and skills to become resilient, functioning members of society
through comprehensive and integrated preventative services. In Harmony is committed to creating permanent
homes for children who are abandoned or wards of the state. The organization is committed to leadership and
advocacy in the pursuit of these purposes.
Children who have become wards of the state are moved from place to place with great frequency for reasons
including: the growing numbers of children needing care (especially very young children and sibling groups), the
dwindling number of foster families, and the inability of foster families to deal with the complex needs of
traumatized children. The love, stability, and security of a healthy family is often foreign to these children,
which puts them at extreme risk of experiencing severe emotional problems, related delinquency and adult
criminality.
IN HARMONY is creating a planned community that replicates communities of our past where children
experienced stability, a sense of belonging, extended family, and the commitment of multi-generations. Our
intergenerational community is comprised of ten homes for children and families and thirty apartments for elders.
The family homes for children are staffed by highly skilled parents with professional degrees and experience in
education, social work, and related fields. Our parents assist children in learning the emotional, family, and social
skills needed to become part of a family and a positive contributing member of our greater society. Our elder
community members share their wisdom, expertise, support, guidance, and love with the children and families
who live within the community site. In addition, social workers living both on and off site provide on-going
support to children and families.
IN HARMONY focuses on the following GOALS to assure that children
waiting for permanent placement receive the most innovative, cost-effective,
and successful intervention available that demonstrates life long effects.

services create a life-long positive effect for each child served.
COMPONENTS OF THE IN HARMONY FAMILY COMMUNITY MODEL
COMMUNITY FAMILIES
IN HARMONY is working in collaboration with state and national agencies to recruit the highest qualified
professional couples and single individuals to create family homes. These homes provide stable, nurturing, and
supportive family and community environments for children who desperately need a place to heal from
traumatic life experiences and to acquire skills that enable them to function successfully at home and within
the larger community.
Seven families provide homes for children needing long term intervention services. These families commit to
adopting children placed in their home and have the freedom of staying within the supportive community
until their children reach maturity.
Three families provide homes for children needing short term intervention services. These children are
prepared for adoptive placement within the larger communities of the state and nation. They will remain
with our families until an appropriate adoptive placement is located.

SUPPORT AND TRAINING FOR CHILDREN, PARENTS, AND VOLUNTEERS
Children develop adaptive behaviors that help them survive in abusive and chaotic environments. These behaviors
make the parenting of traumatized children extremely challenging. IN HARMONY provides all families, elders,
adoptive families, and volunteers with intensive educational training to give adults techniques to successfully parent
and support children who are victims of early trauma. In addition, children are taught the social, family, and
emotional skills essential to thrive within a family and community.

Dear Mrs. Clinton:
I believe you will be attending a meeting of First Ladies of the Americas later this month.
In our previous correspondence at the time of the Women's Conference in Beijing, I was pleased
to provide you with information about the global problem of iodine deficiency. I was glad to see,
in your satellite interview at the Children's First Meeting, that you recognized the critical impact
micronutrient deficiencies has on child development.
At the upcoming First Ladies Meeting I believe the issue of iron deficiency will be raised. This is
a very important issue to the health of all women and children. The Program Against
Micronutrient Malnutrition (PAMM), based at Emory University in Atlanta, have been working to
support national and global efforts to eliminate iodine, vitamin A and iron deficiencies. The
problem has been largely solved in the United States through food fortification. We believe there
is a real chance that iron deficiency can be substantially reduced through by a new partnership
among the public and private food sector. A partnership has recently been formed among the
Rollins School of Public Heath of Emory University, the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, the Task Force for Child Survival and Development, Sister Cities International and
major food corporations to assist with this process.
We encourage you to strongly endorse and support this initiative. We wanted to let you know
that we stand ready to work more closely with your office if you decide to make any United
States commitment towards this important issue.
Best wishes,
Yours sincerely,

PARTNERSHIPS TO
END HIDDEN HUNGER:
Meeting to Get Concrete
November 15, 1996
Rita Anne Collins Room
Rollins School of Public Health of Emory University
A Draft From PAMM
November 25, 1996
BACKGROUND
Partnerships to End Hidden Hunger: Meeting to Get Concrete convened at
the Rollins School of Public Health in Atlanta, Georgia on November
15, 1996 as a follow-up to the Ottawa Forum on Food Fortification. In
Ottawa a consensus of 120 public officials and private executives
endorsed a collaboration of public agencies and private companies to
deliver sustainable market-based solutions to end micronutrient
malnutrition. Partnerships to End Hidden Hunger was step toward making
those opportunities for collaboration more clear and concrete.
FRAMEWORK FOR PARTNERSHIPS
The group was welcomed by Dr. James Curran, Dean of the Rollins

leadership.
Task Force for Child Survival and Development pointed out that
scientists have fully researched and defined the devastating global
impact of micronutrient malnutrition. Effective solutions have been
tested and tried. However, micronutrient malnutrition continues to
exist because scientific capital exceeds social capital thereby
constraining investment in simple and cost-effective solutions to
micronutrient deficiencies. Dr. Foege challenged participants to bridge
the gap by making elimination of micronutrient malnutrition a goal
shared by both public and private organizations. The immediate need
is for leadership to forge public-private coalitions and to gather
resources which can make those shared goals a reality. Pointing to the
role of Rotary International in the elimination of polioand Merck in the
eradicating river blindness, Dr. Foege indicated that leadership for
public health achievements often comes from civic groups or the private
sector.

goal for iodine deficiency has been achieved. However, after 6 years

less than 10-20% of vulnerable populations have been protected from
vitamin A and iron deficiencies. Current strategies at current rates of
improvement will not achieve the goals for the Year 2000. Building on
the theme of leadership, Dr. Maberly challenged the group to begin the
work of developing concrete activities and partnerships to assist in
achieving the World Summit for Children Goals

NATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
During the afternoon the group reviewed opportunities for coalitions
in a number of nations. Both public and private sector participants
indicated interest in a range of follow-up activities which include:
assisting in the preparation and development of national
multisectoral dialogues on food fortification in China and Brazil;
continuing discussions regarding activities in Thailand, Indonesia

more than 120 nations. For more than 40 years these sister cities
sponsored citizen exchanges to develop social and cultural ties.
Recently, while the ties of friendships remain, Sister Cities has
expanded the scope of its citizen network to include exchanges
among city government, business, education and medical
communities. Today, staff and volunteers in each city, a total of
about 750,000 globally, focus on issues like trade, technology,
education and health.
PAMM/Sister Sister Cities International Hidden Hunger Initiative,
Sister Cities first health initiative, creates a potential grass-roots
constituency for the elimination of micronutrient malnutrition.
Through face-to-face city-to-city exchanges as well as more
traditional channels, the International Hidden Hunger Initiative can
provide an impetus for community leaders to explore new local
multisectoral partnerships. One participant suggested that local
chapters are in an ideal position to facilitate municipal nutrition

public health community works to define the extent and impact of
micronutrient malnutrition. Pharmaceutical companies research the
production of micronutrients. Food companies develop the
technology of fortification. Nutritionists and market researchers
study local consumption patterns. The media publishes and
broadcasts health and development issues. Mr. Nilson asserted that
input from these and other sectors is needed to develop effective
marketing strategies and messages. Unfortunately, there is little
communication amongst them.
Each professional community has it's own distinct language, goals
and audiences. Consequently, the range of messages is specialized,
fragmented and tends to confuse the consumer. In some cases the
message in wrong. For example, scientifically framed information,
like the often heard call for a reduction in infant mortality does not
resonate with a mother shopping for milk or flour. In other cases the
messenger is inappropriate. A message from government public
health "authorities" does not have the credibility of a personal
endorsement by a family physician. Unfortunately family doctors are
often uninformed of micronutrient issues. Some participants felt
that getting the right message delivered by the right messenger to

Several participants expressed interest in developing these concepts to the

Roles for Multinationals:
Balancing Contributions and Incentives

Chuck Gagle opened a frank discussion by underscoring the fact that
corporations thrive by solving consumer needs with consumer
products and not necessarily by directly addressing social concerns.

Most participants agreed that multinational corporations could
provide access to fortification and other food processing technology.
Mr. Gagle suggested that public domain technology can be shared
through publication in peer-review, professional and trade journals.
Information about proprietary technology can be disseminated
through newsletters, CD Rom or Internet. While some questioned
the impact of value-added products and sophisticated technology on
poor populations in developing nations, others suggested that
currently available products and technologies could make a
significant impact on micronutrient malnutrition. In some cases,
fortified "sachet" products are developed and waiting for market
opportunities. In other cases "the nutritional guts" of more expensive
products can be adapted to fortifying staple foods.

ambiguous legislation, unclear regulation and arbitrary enforcement.
While corporate participants indicated a willingness to assist in
tackling issues involved in fortifying foods for less advantaged
populations, in many countries vague and conflicting public policy
makes fortifying foods a risky venture even for the more affluent
markets. A tested method of arriving at a consensus standards may
be through an international dialogue involving both public and
private parties.
During the morning as well as the afternoon sessions participants
expressed interest in advocating to the Codex Alimentarius the
development of clear guidelines, particularly on fortification of
foods with iron. All agreed that Codex guidelines, would work to
motivate and ease the way for national governments to adopt clear
and consistent policies to enhance the investment environment for
food fortification. It was noted that working with the Codex is a
slow process, but that recently a Codex Working Group on
Fortification has been established. In discussions with PAMM and
ILSI the current Chairman of the Codex Commission has expressed
interest in moving this issue forward. With international goals to
eliminate micronutrient malnutrition ratified by 123 heads of state
set for the year 2000 there is a window of opportunity for an
alliance of public agencies, academic and research institutions and
private companies to advocate a sense of urgency to the Codex
Commission.

Dr. Eric Sampson explained that current methods for micronutrient

limitations for application in developing countries. Dietary

Participants involved in a 1993 National Advocacy Meeting on IDD
in China at the State Council pointed out that the result was a
political commitment to achieve universal salt iodization by the Year
2000. With 3 years 70-80% of all salt produced in China has been
iodized and the salt industry is currently receiving a $25 million
World Bank loan to modernize its plant and equipment, particularly
packaging.
A focal point for the development of a National Dialogue on Food
Fortification is Chinse Academy of Preventive Medicine (CAP) in
the Ministry of Health. This office has been charged with the task of
developing a nutrition policy for China. CAP has close ties with ISLI
(which has an office in CAP) as well as ongoing ties to PAMM and
MI. CAP can serve as a natural focal point for activities bringing
together government, academia, national and multinational industry.

programs. Political commitment is exemplified in the Consumer Act
of the Philippines which specifically encourages the fortification of
cereal based foods such as snacks and instant noodles as well as
juices, flavored drinks, milk, oil and margarine. The sugar industry
has been involved in ongoing contacts with Guatemala (where
national fortification of sugar with vitamin A has cut VAD in
children by 50%) and with a range of international experts to explore
fortification. The Asian Development Bank and UNICEF are
working to enhance relationships between industry and government.
In Indonesia there is an ongoing national program to iodize salt as
well as activity in the fortification of numerous foods with vitamin A
and iron. There is technical expertise as well as widespread political
support for the elimination of micronutrient malnutrition. In May,
1996 the Ministry of Health sponsored a public-private dialogue
modeled on the Ottawa Forum on Food Fortification. A wide range of
government agencies, private companies, and academic institutions
have joined to form the Indonesian Food Communication Forum to
advocate for an enabling environment for investment in food
fortification.
16
NEXT STEPS
December, 1995 ILSI will sponsor a regional meeting, Food
Fortification: Science, Technology and Policy, which promises to
draw major public and private sector figures from throughout
the Asian Region. As the executive officers of PAMM, MI and
ILSI will be in attendance it was suggested that these three
meet and work with participants at that meeting to define
potential activities in these 3 countries. The results of these
meetings in the Philippines will be presented at the next
meeting Advisory Group Meeting.
The Sister Cities Annual Convention in San Diego in July,
1997 will focus on Asian Region. Health and Education are
meeting themes. Government representatives from these three
nations will be in attendance. This presents an opportunity of
producing a specific program highlighting micronutrient
malnutrition in the Asian context. The feasibility of such a
meeting will be explored by SCI and PAMM and a report will
be distributed at the next meeting of the Advisory Group. A
confercence held in conjunction with SCI's last Annual
Convention in 1996 focused on trade with the former Soviet
Union and attracted120 participants from national and
multinational industry as well as local, provincial and federal
governments in 5 nations.

National Opportunities: CENTRAL AMERICA
Progress is being achieved in the elimination of micronutrient
malnutrition in Guatemala, El Salvador, Belize, Nicaragua, Panama and
Honduras. Most of these countries have legislation and regulations in
place governing fortification - including iron. The salt and sugar
industries in most Central American countries are involved in ongoing
collaborations to fortify their products. They have benefited from some
public subsidy such as a recent $25 million loan from the Central
American Bank to renovate the salt industry. The sugar industry in El
Salvador and Guatemala is fiercely proud of and committed to their
vitamin A fortification programs. The significant impact of fortification
of sugar on vitamin A deficiency in children has been documented and
published by INCAP. The documentation of other Latin American
success stories, IDD in Bolivia and IDA in Venezuela will resonate in
this region. Both UNICEF and OMNI/USAID are currently embarking
on regional programs which include a variety of industry training, food
sector reviews as well as promotional and educational campaigns. There
are opportunities to influence, inform and participate in several
developments and move toward national dialogues on food fortification
in several countries.
NEXT STEPS:
PAMM, MI and UNICEF will communicate with UNICEF Regional
Director, National Representatives and USAID to gather
additional information on planned activities and explore avenues
for corporate participation and input. A review of these
opportunities will be presented to the advisory group.
Sister Cities, PAMM and interested partners will explore the

National Opportunities: BRAZIL
For a number of reasons a variety of individual food companies
products working to fortify their product in Brazil. Parmalat fortifies
milk with vitamin A and D. Guarani is working on a pilot project to
sugar with vitamin A (about 5% of the market) to carve our a special
niche in the market for its brand. After lengthy discussions within the
company, CPC Brazil is preparing to fortify its corn grits, a staple food
among the poor in Northeast Brazil, with iron, iodine and vitamin A.
However, there is no national consensus on the threat of micronutrient
malnutrition or national legislation mandating fortification in Brazil.
The academic and research community remains vocally divided and/or
skeptical about the threat and the potential solutions. UNICEF is
widely respected and has A long standing relationship with the
national television network. There are indications that the UNICEF
Representative as well as the First Lady of Brazil may be prepared to
take this on as an issue. There was some discussion that Brazil might
take the lead in pressing for A MERCOSUR sponsored meeting of
scientists, producers, food manufacturers, and public and government
agencies
NEXT STEPS:

National Opportunities: MEXICO:
While recent campaigns to iodize salt have built an awareness of
micronutrient issues and of fortification in many nations, in Mexico
IDD was thought to have been overcome in the late 1960's and
interest in fortification has been minimal. Despite government
involvement in nutrition through a very heavily subsidized
"food-basket" for the poor, the government of Mexico has shown no
great enthusiasm for micronutrient fortification (they may be
reticent to get involved in activities which will raise the cost of that
nutrition subsidy to public coffers).
Outside federal government circles, recent activity indicates potential
for a more fortification friendly environment. For example, P&G
and UNICEF Mexico have piloted a public-private relationship to
raise awareness of micronutrient malnutrition that might serve as a
model for future activities. Without participation of the national
government, a recent conference in Mexico City was organized by
Roche, ILSI, the National Institute of Nutrition and Gruma (leading
manufacturer of corn flour) to review both micronutrient as well as
macronutrient fortification. There were indications of enthusiasm yet
at the same time limited knowledge and experience with
micronutrient issues.
The momentum created by these private business, international
agencies and researchers may be sustained and expanded through a
unique opportunity presented by Sister Cities annual conference in

opportunity to create a forum where the sectors represented at the
November 1996
Mexico City meeting along with stakeholders such as P&G and
UNICEF have the opportunity to communicate directly with
representatives of local governments throughout Mexico.
20
NEXT STEPS:
SCI and PAMM will explore the feasibility of hosting a 1 day
conference in Tijuana on July 31, 1997. The Mayor of Tijuana
and the Governor of the State of Baha California would invite
representation from mayors offices of the 155 Sister Cities,
governors offices of 15 Sister States, appropriate federal
officials as well as representatives from business, international
agencies and the scientific community. PAMM and SCI
together with potential corporate sponsors will present a
report on this option.
Identify individual Sister Cities where nutritional audits,
surveys of public awareness and other background data might
be collected for presentation to the July SCI meeting or other
forums. Outline requirements for development of training and
communication tools.
Continue discussion with the UNICEF office in Mexico to
encourage relationships such the current partnership with
P&G. UNICEF might be requested to make a presentation of
this partnership mechanism at the July SCI meeting.
