From the White House : Socks is the first cat. He belongs to President Bill Clinton and has been recently joined by a canine partner Buddy. We are expecting a picture of Buddy very soon from the White House. Sent exclusively for you to enjoy and a message from the President of the United States.

I am proud of what we have accomplished during the past four years - we have reduced the deficit, expanded and sustained economic growth, improved educational opportunities for our children, and empowered Americans to make the most of their own lives.  However, we still have much to do to meet our commitment to provide hope and opportunity for all our people as we approach the twenty - first century. As President, I am continuing to work hard to uphold your trust, to protect our shared values, and to meet our common challenges.         Sincerely,
