                Proclamation 6764 of January 11, 1995

                
National Good Teen Day, 1995

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                For many of the 24 million teenagers in the United 
                States today, the future can seem uncertain and 
                distant. Confronted with challenges the likes of which 
                their parents could scarcely have imagined, many of our 
                young people are too busy with the trials of daily life 
                to spend much time hoping and dreaming. But empowered 
                with the courage to try, all teens--even those who may 
                feel troubled and lost--have the potential to succeed.

                 The choices teens make today will determine the future 
                for all of us, and we must strive to set an example of 
                hard work and responsible behavior. On the occasion of 
                National Good Teen Day, we pause to recognize the teens 
                who set just such an example for their peers--young 
                people who make invaluable contributions to our 
                society, bringing their remarkable talents and energies 
                to bear in their studies and activities, in caring for 
                their families and friends, and in helping their 
                communities. We can learn a lot from these youth, from 
                the creativity, optimism, and resilience that enable 
                them to navigate the complex path to adulthood.

                In return for all they give, teens need our 
                understanding, compassion, and love. They require our 
                attention, and they deserve our respect. America's 
                young people have so much to look forward to, so much 
                to share with our world. With firm guidance and gentle 
                reassurance, we can help teenagers to recognize their 
                strengths and realize their dreams.

                In celebration of teens throughout the Nation, the 
                Congress, by Public Law 103-463, has designated January 
                16, 1995, as ``National Good Teen Day'' and has 
                authorized and requested the President to issue a 
                proclamation in observance of this day.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the 
                United States of America, do hereby proclaim January 
                16, 1995, as National Good Teen Day. I urge all 
                Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs 
                and activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                eleventh day of January, in the year of our Lord 
                nineteen hundred and ninety-five, and of the 
                Independence of the United States of America the two 
                hundred and nineteenth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)>
