101 STAT. 2229 Proclamation 5738 of November 6, 1987 National Women Veterans Recognition Week, 1987 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation During wartime and peacetime American women in every branch of the Armed Forces have defended our country and our ideals with devotion and distinction. Such service, of course, is neither easy nor without risk. As veterans, these women continue to contribute to our Nation in civilian life. The week in which Veterans Day falls is a most appropriate time to offer women veterans our heartfelt respect and thanks for their part in preserving our freedom and security.
This week we also remember that our gratitude as a Nation must include meeting women veterans’ special needs and concerns. With the help of its Advisory Committee on Women Veterans, the Veterans’ Administration has sought creative, effective ways to do this. National Women Veterans Recognition Week is a fine time to both redouble our efforts and express our appreciation. To create greater public awareness and recognition of the many achievements of women veterans, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 171, has designated the week beginning November 8, 1987, as “National Women Veterans Recognition Week” and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning November 8, 1987, as National Women Veterans Recognition Week. I encourage all Americans and government officials at every level to celebrate this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 6th day of Nov., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.
RONALD REAGAN 5739 November 6, 1987 National Family Bread Baking Month, 1987 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5739 of November 6, 1987 National Family Bread Baking Month, 1987 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Bread, the staff of life, both gives and symbolizes sustenance. Until recent decades the American people baked their bread at home, and today many families enjoy this tradition, not simply for its wholesome nutrition but also for its rich association with the well-being and security of family life.
Baking bread at home provides a nutritious and delicious food and uses many products of American agriculture, such as wheat, rye, com, dairy 101 STAT. 2230products, sugar, eggs, and other ingredients. Besides contributing to the physical needs of the family, baking bread at home can nourish its strength and unity as well, and teach and tell much about American traditions and values. In recognition of the value of baking bread in the home, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 163, has designated November 1987 as “National Family Bread Baking Month” and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this month.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of November 1987 as National Family Bread Baking Month. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.
RONALD REAGAN 5740 November 10, 1987 National Food Bank Week, 1987 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5740 of November 10, 1987 National Food Bank Week, 1987 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation This harvest season, as Thanksgiving approaches, we are grateful that our country is rich in caring citizens who establish and maintain food banks to serve people in time of need. These devoted Americans daily offer their talents and material resources to help their neighbors.
Individuals, the food industry, other businesses, churches, government agencies, schools, and other groups combine to make food banks work. Social service agencies often refer clients to food banks pending the processing of the clients’ benefit applications; this ensures that families’ temporary needs are met while long-term assistance is being arranged. The food industry donates surplus food to regional food banks that help supply local pantries and private local food programs.
Private businesses provide support services ranging from transportation and cold storage to accounting and legal help. Our Nation’s food banks and those who staff them truly deserve the thanks and the cooperation of all Americans. In recognition of food banks and of the many Americans who help organize and operate them, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 368, has designated the week of November 8 through November 14, 1987, as “National Food Bank Week” and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of November 8 through November 101 STAT. 223114, 1987, as National Food Bank Week, I call upon all Americans to observe this week with appropriate activities to learn about food banks and how they are helping or could help people in their communities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.
RONALD REAGAN 5741 November 12, 1987 National Arts Week, 1987 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5741 of November 12, 1987 National Arts Week, 1987 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The arts lie at the heart of our Nation and of the heritage we cherish. The freedom we enjoy allows our arts to breathe the spirit of liberty and to en-noble, inspire, and nourish us. During National Arts Week, when we celebrate the arts and thank the artists, patrons, and audiences who give them life, we salute a precious dimension of America.
From our early days as a Nation, countless public-minded citizens have considered support of culture and the arts their joy and their responsibility. Their efforts have brought about an American partnership among individuals, corporations, foundations, and taxpayers that sustains the arts and makes them accessible throughout our land. Across America the arts are flourishing. Everywhere, individual artists are at work, and symphony orchestras, museums, theaters, dance and opera companies, and folk arts groups are busy in cities and towns alike.
As we express our gratitude to these Americans we also renew our commitment to the partnership that supports them and brings their work, and that of the rest of the world, to American audiences—and we reaffirm our devotion to the life of the mind and the soul. The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 154, has designated the period of November 15 through November 22, 1987, as “National Arts Week” and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the period of November 15 through November 22, 1987, as National Arts Week. I encourage the people of the United States to observe this period with appropriate ceremonies, programs, and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 12th day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.
