I received a call from the White House. This was in response to 2 letters I sent to President Clinton. The first 1 I sent in February telling of my personal interest in the Udall bill, the need for it and asking him to send a "Dear Colleague" style letter to his friends on the hill encouraging their co-sponsorship and quick action to pass it. I received a brief form letter in March and since it made no mention of any specific subject matter at all is probably sent to anyone who sends a letter to him. In April I clipped the form letter response to a copy of my original letter and wrote a new cover letter saying that I was returning the presidents letter since I believed it was sent by secretarial error. I then respectfully requested that the President respond directly to my letter and request for help. Yesterday I got a call from the White House. The person was very polite and we spoke for about 10 minutes. While she said she could not speak for the president or give me any answers for him she did say that letters help. ----------------------------------------- Letters help. We've been saying this all along. If you haven't written to President Clinton yet now is the right time. If you get a form letter back you don't have to accept it. Write again. Write 1 letter and print it out twice. One to the President and 1 to Mrs. Clinton. She is very powerful and it could help if we had her on our side.
