Title 3--
The President
                Proclamation 6682 of May 3, 1994

 

Public Service Recognition Week, 1994

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                At a time when Government is confronting the challenge 
                of serving the public more efficiently and effectively 
                than ever while facing substantial resource 
                constraints, it is especially fitting to recognize the 
                dedication of our Nation's public employees. The 
                Federal Government, in its efforts to work better and 
                cost less, has often found inspiration in the creative 
                innovations initiated by State and local government 
                employees. Moreover, the new spirit of partnership 
                between labor and management in the public sector has 
                reduced the time and money wasted in unproductive 
                adversarial proceedings so that more attention can be 
                devoted to improving the services provided to the 
                public.

                Americans at all levels of government have made a 
                significant difference in the lives of their fellow 
                citizens, and it is most appropriate that we set aside 
                this week to honor them. Public employees educate our 
                children, administer programs to aid needy citizens, 
                conduct biomedical research, help protect the 
                environment, ensure the safety of our food supply, 
                maintain our transportation networks, provide for the 
                common defense, and enforce the Constitution and laws 
                of the United States. These devoted women and men bring 
                enormous talent, knowledge, and integrity to their 
                work.

                In recognition of the achievements of government 
                employees, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 
                150, has designated the week of May 2, 1994, through 
                May 8, 1994, as ``Public Service Recognition Week'' and 
                has authorized and requested the President to issue a 
                proclamation calling for observance of this week.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the 
                United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week 
                of May 2, 1994, through May 8, 1994, as Public Service 
                Recognition Week. I urge the people of the United 
                States to participate in appropriate ceremonies and 
                activities to recognize the vital contributions of 
                employees of Federal, State, and local government. I 
                also encourage young Americans to learn more about the 
                work done by public employees and to consider careers 
                in public service.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                third day of May, 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.)>
