Dear Mr. President, I was watching your World AIDS Day speech at the Georgetown Medical Center on CSPAN when the young man, out of frustration, interrupted your words with his. I could see how much he touched you, because your answer was healing and full of constructive ideas. What I didn't expect were your wonderful words about our Holocaust document, SCHINDLER S LIST. I can not recall in my lifetime when a President of the United States has implored the nation to view a film, albeit a painful one. Please feel assured that 1 will guard and protect your words. They will not be used in any kind of advertising to benefit the film. the fact that you said it and felt that way is benefit enough, and from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. All my best, Stum 100 UNIVERSAL PLAZA/BUNCA.OW 477/UNIVERSAL CITV CA 91608/818/777-4600 TOTAL P.002
