The foundation building Bill Clinton`s
presidential library in Little Rock wants to give supporters an
opportunity to preserve their own history for future generations.
With about 250 days to the library`s opening, the Clinton
Foundation is starting a new fundraising drive centered on a time
capsule. In letters sent today, foundation president Skip
Rutherford asks supporters to send more money and return an
enclosed card with their thoughts and wishes for the future.
A capsule containing the cards will be buried on August 19th --
Clinton`s 58th birthday -- under Celebration Circle -- an area in
front of the library planned for a large fountain. The capsule will
also include an entry written by President Clinton.
A plaque will direct museum officials to open the capsule on
August 18th, 2104, so they can display the historical
documents the next day -- the 158th anniversary of Clinton`s birth.
