RE: Speaking Invitation
National Young Leaders Conference
Congressional Youth Leadership Council
National Press Club
Washington, D.C.
25 March or 29 March 1988
Director of the National Young Leaders Conference, Larry Guillemette, has
invited you to speak at the Conference sponsored by the Congressional Youth
Leadership Council on Friday, 25 March or Tuesday, 29 March at the National
Press Club. The suggested format is 10 minutes of remarks followed by 40
minutes of questions and answers. You are asked to speak on how the Agency
fits within the Executive Branch or any other topic of your choice. The
audience would include 350 outstanding high school students from throughout
the US. The meeting is not open to the media. The Council is expecting
Secretary of Energy John Herrington, Secretary of Interior Donald Hodel, and
Secretary of HUD Samuel Pierce to speak at the Conference session covering the
Executive Branch. (See opposite for background material.)
Since this is a high school audience, and we normally reserve our student
briefings for the college level, I recommend that you decline this
invitation. If you agree, a letter of regret is attached for your signature.

Dear Mr.Gates:
This spring the Congressional Youth Leadership Council
will once again sponsor the National Young Leaders
Conference. _ During a five week period, over 1,600
outstanding high school students will come to our nation's
capital for an intensive educational program. This group
represents the best and brightest of today's youth -
tomorrow's leaders. The enclosed information will serve to
illustrate the scope and content of our program.
The National Young Leaders Conference provides a unique
opportunity for the students to gain an insider's view of
government by interacting with those individuals who shape
public policy. I know you share our concern for educating
youth for responsible citizenship and join us in promoting
active involyement in the democratic process. We are a non-
profit, non-partisan organization which encourages our
students to consider all viewpoints as they endeavor to come
to an understanding of current issues facing our nation. We
certainly hope you can assist us by contributing to the
balance of our program and will honor us by accepting our
invitation to address the_young leaders of tomorrow _during
one of the Conference weeksthis spring.
It is our philosophy that we can be of no greater
service to our country than by instilling an appreciation of
our American heritage and democratic institutions in the
"successor generation." It is our hope that your calendar
can accommodate this request and we trust that you will
respond favorably.
For your convenience I have enclosed an RSVP
memorandum. If you have any questions or need any
additional information, please contact Rick McDonald at
[phone]. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
(,Loutkti
