fill7 Heads of State on the Internet After the Queen of England recently sent a message on the Internet, an amusing controversy arose over who was the first head of State to use the Internet. After some vigorous searching USA President Bill Clinton seems to have been the winner. --------- Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1993 07:13:49 EDT From: Bob Zenhausern Subject: Re: A message from H.M. The Queen During this visit to the Whitefield Centre I have been heartened to see the emphasis placed upon helping young people towards independence by the use of technology. Through John and Adam, who are using this computer to write and send this letter for me, I send greetings to the many children world-wide who are being helped and encouraged to play a full part in the world.

I wanted to thank you for paying attention to the work we're doing here in Washington to get our country moving again. I'm very impressed by your concern about our country's deficit - and your decision to try and help do something about it. And a bake sale is certainly the sweetest way I can think of to reduce the deficit. It's very important that all Americans understand that we have to work together to make this country a better place for all of us. I'm very happy to see that all of you at Stewart Elementary School already understand that.

Someday, when you are teachers, and doctors, and police officers - and some of you are here in Washington - you will be better leaders because you learned the value of cooperation and teamwork while you were growing up in Oxford, Ohio. Keep working hard, keep working together, and keep working on new ideas. President Bill Clinton ---------
