Title 3--
The President
                Proclamation 6701 of June 14, 1994

 
Father's Day, 1994

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                June conjures up memories of sunny days, backyard 
                cookouts, relaxing vacations, lush gardens in bloom, 
                and on the third Sunday of the month, the celebration 
                of Father's Day. This is a time set aside by tradition 
                to pay tribute to fathers across our land and to thank 
                them for their unconditional love, for their belief in 
                their children's potential, and for their vital 
                parental role. Their profound influence on their sons 
                and daughters--on society itself--is incalculable.

                The loving concern of fathers in raising, protecting, 
                educating, encouraging, and providing direction for 
                their children shapes our national character, as well 
                as our children's. The positive interaction of fathers 
                who responsibly welcome the challenges of guiding their 
                children is immeasurable. Through the nurturing support 
                of such parents, competent, caring, and resilient 
                generations of citizens develop and thrive. These 
                fathers, whether biological, foster, or adoptive, 
                deserve our honor and gratitude.

                All fathers in our society today must reinvest in 
                supplying emotional and financial support for their 
                children. It is never too late to assume the 
                responsibility for meeting a child's needs. To do so, 
                despite personal and economic hardship, is to help our 
                children transcend adverse circumstances and to earn 
                the love, respect, and appreciation that will become a 
                legacy of devotion for generations long after ours.

                Our Nation is becoming increasingly aware that a 
                father's acceptance and support are powerful 
                motivators. It is most fitting that we recognize our 
                fathers' contributions today and every day--that we 
                express, through word or deed, our appreciation to them 
                and that we remember their love, their friendship, and 
                their faith in us.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the 
                United States of America, in accordance with a joint 
                resolution of the Congress approved April 24, 1972 (36 
                U.S.C. 142a), do hereby proclaim, Sunday, June 19, 
                1994, as ``Father's Day.'' I invite the States, 
                communities and people of the United States to observe 
                this day with appropriate ceremonies as a mark of 
                appreciation and affection for our fathers.

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