This release contains White House Exchange Mail records dated January 1998 to October 1999. Most of it is a transcript of a January 29, 1998 press briefing by Press Secretary Mike McCurry covering Iraq, Iran, the budget and the Lewinsky inquiry, plus a 1998 presidential speech. An October 19, 1999 email among Transnational Threats staff forwards a Florida Today article on how scientists expect alien contact would spark a media frenzy rather than a cover-up, describing the 1989 SETI detection protocol.

continuing torment in the Middle East, or what happened in Bosnia, or t
to
save all those children from the horrible fate they were facing in Rwand
all
these places. We're supposed to be living in this great modem world, yo
hook everybody up to an Internet, but if they still have primitive impuk
then
they just have modern technology to give greater vent with greater inter)
to
primitive impulses.
I want us to have a strong economy and I want us to always be on the
forefront
of every new thing that happens. But in the end, we have to prove that v
can be
one nation together. And I try to end all my talks now by just reminding
everybody that the people that came here to start this country came here
because
they literally deplored the unlimited, arbitrary, abusive exercise of powe
over
the lives of citizens. And they had a better idea. They said, we want to b
free and we want to be free to pursue happiness — not have it guaranteec
us,
free to pursue it; and in the process, we will work to form a more perfec
union.
Now these people you're supporting here and the party we represent -- y
we've
modernized the Democratic Party. Thank you, Bill. And, yes, they can't
all
those bad things about Democrats they used to say. But if you look at th
whole
20th century, if you go right back to Woodrow Wilson forward, our cou
has
always been for those things. We've always been for more freedom, moi
opportunity, and a stronger union. Which means even when we haven't I
right
on the issues, we've been on the right side of America's history. And I'm
proud
to be here with you, Mike. I'm proud to be here with my good friend, Lc
And
I'm proud to be here with a party that I think can lead America to a bette
place
in the new century.
