                Proclamation 7112 of July 30, 1998

                
Designation of American Heritage Rivers

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                In celebration of America's rivers, and to recognize 
                and reward grassroots efforts to restore them, last 
                year I announced the American Heritage Rivers 
                initiative. My goal was to help communities realize 
                their visions for their rivers by making it easier for 
                them to tap existing programs and resources of the 
                Federal Government. From across the country, hundreds 
                of communities answered my call for nominations, asking 
                that their rivers be designated American Heritage 
                Rivers. I applaud all of the communities that have 
                drawn together and dedicated themselves to the goal of 
                healthy rivers, now and forever.

                Having reviewed the recommendations of the American 
                Heritage Rivers Initiative Advisory Committee, I am 
                pleased to be able to recognize a select group of 
                rivers and communities that reflect the true diversity 
                and splendor of America's natural endowment, and the 
                tremendous energy and commitment of its citizenry.

                Pursuant to Executive Orders 13061, 13080, and 13093, I 
                hereby designate the following American Heritage 
                Rivers:

                                The Blackstone and              
                                        Woonasquatucket Rivers, in the  
                                        States of Massachusetts and
