Title 3--
The President
                Proclamation 6667 of April 12, 1994

 
National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, 
                1994

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                In an emergency, most Americans depend on 9-1-1. Each 
                day, more than half a million public safety 
                communicators answer desperate calls for help, 
                responding with services that save the lives and 
                property of American citizens in need of assistance.

                These dedicated men and women are more than anonymous 
                voices on the telephone line. They are local police, 
                fire, and medical professionals who use public safety 
                telecommunications to quickly respond to emergency 
                calls. They are also Federal public safety officials 
                who use telecommunications for everything from drug 
                interdiction to protecting forests to promoting 
                conservation. We rely on their knowledge and 
                professionalism as they make critical decisions, obtain 
                information, and quickly dispatch needed aid.

                America's public safety telecommunicators serve our 
                citizens daily in countless ways. The work of these 
                ``unseen first responders'' is invaluable in emergency 
                situations, and each of these dedicated men and women 
                deserves our heartfelt appreciation. Americans place 
                their trust in these individuals, not just this week, 
                but every day of the year. This week is a time for a 
                grateful Nation to show its appreciation and to 
                recognize that our health, safety, and well-being are 
                often dependent on the commitment and steadfast 
                devotion of public safety telecommunicators.

                The Congress, by Public Law 103-221, has designated the 
                week beginning April 11, 1994, as ``National Public 
                Safety Telecommunicators Week'' and has authorized and 
                requested the President to issue a proclamation in 
                observance of this week.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the 
                United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week 
                of April 11, 1994, as National Public Safety 
                Telecommunicators Week. I urge all Americans to observe 
                this week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, 
                activities, and appreciation for these outstanding 
                individuals.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twelfth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen 
                hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and 
                eighteenth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)>
