                Proclamation 7730 of October 31, 2003

                
National Family Caregivers Month, 2003

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Millions of Americans make extraordinary efforts every 
                day to care for loved ones who are elderly, chronically 
                ill, or disabled. These caregivers make many sacrifices 
                to improve the lives of their loved ones. Through their 
                love, dedication, and courage, these compassionate 
                children, parents, spouses, grandparents, and extended 
                family members strengthen and preserve the importance 
                of family and reflect the true character of our Nation.

                My Administration is supporting family caregivers in 
                their efforts to provide comfort and support to their 
                loved ones. The National Family Caregiver Support 
                Program, managed by the Administration on Aging of the 
                Department of Health and Human Services, gives family 
                caregivers counseling, information, respite care, and 
                supplemental services.

                As we mark National Family Caregivers Month, we express 
                our gratitude to family caregivers, and celebrate the 
                great blessings they bring to their families and to our 
                Nation.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, 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 November 2003 as National 
                Family Caregivers Month. I encourage all Americans to 
                honor and support family members, friends, and 
                neighbors who assume important caregiving 
                responsibilities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                thirty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord 
                two thousand three, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and twenty-
                eighth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
