WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- Former U.S. President Bill Clinton heads to Capitol Hill Tuesday to speak to the Senate Democrats' weekly lunch and push for healthcare reform, a memo said.

"All Senators should be aware that former President Clinton will be making a presentation on (healthcare) at tomorrow's (Tuesday's) caucus lunch. (Senate Majority Leader Harry) Reid has requested that all Democratic Senators attend," read a notice obtained by CNN.

The former president was expected to tell the Senate Democratic caucus about what happened during his administration when efforts to pass healthcare reform failed, two senior Democratic sources told CNN.

Democrats in the House of Representatives approved its version of healthcare reform Saturday.

If the Senate passes a reform bill, a congressional conference committee will meld the House and Senate proposals into a consensus version that requires final approval from both chambers before being sent to President Barack Obama for his consideration.
