Live Dive: Clinton White House Papers Released
Feb 28, 2014

Thousands of pages of records from the Clinton presidency are being made public this afternoon, potentially offering fresh insights into Hillary Clinton as she considers whether to run for president in 2016. Here is our live dive through the documents.

The Clinton library released, as expected, a batch of documents at 1 p.m. The 4,000 or so pages are part of a cache of 33,000 pages of Clinton presidential records that had been withheld from various public records requests because they were exempt from disclosure under the law governing presidential records.

Hillary Clinton, from a transcript of in September 1993 remarks to House and Senate Democratic leaders about health-care:

We have tried (inadible) as carefully as possible all the alternatives and all the features that are in this plan,

HILLARY’S IMAGE: A 1995 memo discusses ways to improve Mrs. Clinton’s image as the first lady’s staff contemplates how to generate positive press coverage. Lisa Caputo, who served as deputy assistant to the president and Mrs. Clinton’s press secretary, offers a long list of ideas, saying that the first lady should “own the women’s media.” (Starts on page 19 of this document.)

Ms. Caputo writes that the Clintons’ 20th wedding anniversary is a wonderful opportunity that could yield upbeat stories about the occasion. Mrs. Clinton could throw a big party and then share photos of the event, as well as pictures from the Clintons’ honeymoon, with People magazine, the memo said.

“This might be a nice time peg to have the President and Hillary do a special joint interview with Barbara Walters,” Ms. Caputo wrote. “If we did an interview around the anniversary time peg, it would not appear to be political.”
