BILL CLINTON
Bill Clinton sends a typed letter of thanks for the meeting.
Typed Letter Signed: "Bill" as Governor of Arkansas and
Chairman of the National Governors' Association, 1p, 8½x11. On
Association letterhead. Washington, D.C., 1987 March 11. To Senator
Daniel P. Moynihan, Chairman, Subcommittee on Social Security & Income
Maintenance Programs, Committee on Finance, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. In
full: "I want to thank you for taking the time to meet with Governors
Kean, Dukakis, Castle and me last week. I very much appreciated the free
exchange of ideas and the candor with which you shared your views on the
critical question of how to make our welfare system more responsive to people
and their individual needs. I am proud of the welfare reform policy recently
passed by the nation's Governors. While I recognize that it is not the full
solution to our problems, I believe that it is an important start to changing
the underlying values of our system to give back to our citizens the
opportunity to regain their sense of pride and independence. I want you to
know that I appreciate your tireless efforts over the years to champion the
cause of our citizens locked in poverty and our children locked in hopelessness.
I look forward to working closely with you as the 100th Congress moves forward
to translate good policy into good law. Sincerely." Postscript
handwritten by Clinton: "I really enjoyed the visit and I look
forward to working with you." Massachusetts Governor MICHAEL DUKAKIS
was the unsuccessful Democratic nominee for President in 1988, losing to George
Bush. New Jersey Governor THOMAS KEAN was later Chairman of the National
Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11
Commission), appointed by President George W. Bush. Governor of Arkansas from
1979-1981 and 1983-1992, BILL CLINTON defeated President George Bush in
1992 and served as President from 1993-2001, the first incumbent Governor
elected President since FDR in 1932, the first Democrat reelected President
since FDR and the only elected U.S. President to be impeached. DIRECTLY FROM
THE SALE OF THE ESTATE OF DANIEL PATRICK MOYNIHAN. Moynihan (1927-2003)
represented New York in the U.S. Senate as a Democrat for four terms
(1977-2001). A prolific author, he served in the administrations of four
Presidents: Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and Ford. Moynihan was a key participant in
debates on "welfare reform" for three decades. Having helped plan the "War on
Poverty" in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, he later became a severe
critic of the effect of income support programs on poor families. When Senator
Moynihan retired, he was succeeded by Hillary Clinton. Estate inventory numbers

(unknown hand) in upper right corner. 1½-inch paper separation at right of upper
