                Proclamation 6727 of September 27, 1994

 

Energy Awareness Month, 1994

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                We have become increasingly aware in recent decades 
                that our sources of energy are finite. America's 
                economy continues to expand, generating new jobs, 
                increased production, and an even higher demand for 
                energy. At the same time, the changing needs of our 
                people and the fragile nature of our environment teach 
                us that we must use our resources wisely. The long-term 
                health of our Nation and of our world require that we 
                continually reexamine the ways we produce and consume 
                energy.

                As we celebrate Energy Awareness Month this year, the 
                United States is leading the world in that effort, 
                improving energy efficiency and exploring the 
                possibilities of renewable resources. Through programs 
                developed by both business and government, Americans 
                are using energy in wiser and less costly ways. High 
                technology applied to vehicles, appliances, and 
                buildings has enabled us to save money, become less 
                reliant on foreign imports, and protect our planet's 
                precious natural resources. Yet much remains to be 
                done.

                The ``Greening of the White House'' initiative sets an 
                important example. A cooperative project combining the 
                best efforts of the public and private sectors, it 
                utilizes the latest technologies in lighting, heating, 
                air conditioning, cooking, and refrigeration and serves 
                as a model of progress for buildings across the 
                country. This project will be a challenge to countries 
                around the globe to protect the Earth's environment and 
                to achieve sustainable economic growth.

                The theme of Energy Awareness Month, 1994, ``Energy--
                Our Future Is Today!'' recognizes that we must view our 
                energy consumption from the perspective of the 
                generations to come. I encourage all Americans to join 
                in this crucial mission to conserve Earth's resources 
                for our children and grandchildren by participating in 
                activities that further our understanding and 
                appreciation of the energy issues we face. Our work 
                today will help to safeguard the strength of our 
                economy, the well-being of our citizens, and the unique 
                beauty of our world.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United 
                States, do hereby proclaim October 1994 as ``Energy 
                Awareness Month.''

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-seventh day of September, 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 nineteenth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)>
