Robin Jurczyk NIFL-Family list moderator rjurczyk@aol.com **************** TO: State and Local Coalition and National Organization Leaders FROM: Ellen Galinsky, Nina Sazer O’Donnell and Abby Farber RE: White House Conference on Child Care As you know, a historic White House Conference on Child Care was held on October 23, 1997. We were very pleased to participate in this event. President Clinton announced several steps the federal government will take immediately and told the conference that he will announce a significant child care initiative in his State of the Union address. He invited the nation to write to him and the Cabinet to let them know what roles the federal government can play to improve the availability, affordability and quality of child care throughout the nation. In addition, in his luncheon address, Senator Dodd of Connecticut announced a bi-partisan Congressional plan to propose child care legislation in 1998. These events represent an enormous opportunity to help shape the development of a national child care policy. We hope you will share this information with all of your members and colleagues and that you will encourage them to write to our nation’s leaders —both in the administration and on Capitol Hill—with ideas and suggestions for how the federal government can support the development of diverse, community-based child care systems. C-Span broadcast the entire conference on Thursday evening, and may rebroadcast it again today (Friday) or over the weekend. Unfortunately, C-Span could not tell us for certain if or when this broadcast will take place. You can order videotapes of the entire conference by calling C-Span at 1-800-277-2698. The videos cost $75 plus shipping. In addition, the beautiful five-minute video that opened the conference, produced by New Screen Concepts with FWI, will be available soon. Once copies have been made, we will send you ordering information.
