THE BODY SHOP PITCHES PRESIDENT CLINTON ON HEMP

Following Air Force One Controversy

WASHINGTON, - The Body Shop Founder Anita Roddick today sent President Clinton
a letter and a packet of Hemp products urging him: "Don't go wobbly with
misinformation.
Hemp is a good product and not a drug." Roddick wrote in response to
controversy
that emerged when it became known that Hemp beer has been served on
Air Force One on the return of the President from Mexico. Clinton
"broke the hemp barrier" despite U.S. military rules against hemp
products imposed several weeks ago.

"Your framers wrote the Declaration of Independence on paper made from
it ... Hemp makes you feel good without doing anything bad," wrote
Roddick to Clinton.

Roddick's letter to President Clinton follows:

Congratulations on breaking the hemp barrier on Air Force
One.

Don't go wobbly with misinformation: Hemp is a good product and it's
not a drug. Throughout the centuries, hemp helped build the pyramids,
make paper and equip Viking ships with sails. George Washington farmed
it. Your framers wrote the Declaration of Independence on paper made
from it. FDR said it was patriotic to grow it. Hemp made products
America and its allies used to win World War II. Hemp makes you feel
good without doing anything bad.

Across the planet, firms and consumers use it for food, clothing, fuel
and lotions to make people feel more comfortable in their own skin.
Surely, your Air Force doesn't have regulations against that!

Please accept with my compliments a set of The Body Shop Hemp products
for use in the White House. We hope you will consider The Body Shop
among your allies as you experience the benefits of products made with
Hemp.
