                Proclamation 6815 of August 7, 1995

                
Minority Enterprise Development Week, 1995

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                For citizens throughout the Nation, entrepreneurship is 
                a proven gateway to economic empowerment. At its best, 
                our free enterprise system works to ensure that all of 
                our citizens have the opportunity to contribute fully 
                to America's economic growth and to benefit fully from 
                our economy's success. However, the road to 
                entrepreneurial achievement is seldom easy. Those who 
                undertake the journey must be talented, determined, and 
                brave. But America has a history of rewarding risk-
                takers, and there is much to be gained in the attempt.

                If this country is to continue to prosper in the years 
                ahead, we must hold fast to the promise of minority 
                enterprise development. Business growth in our minority 
                communities creates wealth, encourages self-
                sufficiency, and generates jobs where they are needed. 
                My Administration is working hard to strengthen all of 
                our Nation's businesses, opening new domestic and 
                international markets, stimulating the efficient use of 
                developed but underutilized land in older cities and 
                towns, and reducing the cost of borrowing for business 
                start-ups and expansions. These innovative efforts are 
                making an impact, and people throughout America are 
                stepping forward to take advantage of the possibilities 
                of investment.

                This week plays an important part in our work to 
                promote the growth of the minority business community. 
                As we recognize America's outstanding minority business 
                men and women, we honor their accomplishments and help 
                spur them on to greater heights. Highlighting their 
                success, this occasion touches even those who have not 
                yet dreamed of starting their own businesses. We are 
                all inspired by the example our entrepreneurs have set.

                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 September 24 through 
                September 30, 1995, as ``Minority Enterprise 
                Development Week.'' I call on all Americans to 
                commemorate this event with appropriate ceremonies and 
                activities, joining together to recognize the 
                contributions that minority entrepreneurs make every 
                day to our national economic security.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                seventh day of August, 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 twentieth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)
