                Proclamation 7845 of November 9, 2004

                
World Freedom Day, 2004

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Fifteen years ago, the people of East and West Germany 
                tore down the Berlin Wall, and freedom triumphed over 
                Communism. The dismantling of the Berlin Wall reunited 
                Germany and helped spread freedom across Central and 
                Eastern Europe. With free elections and the spread of 
                democratic values, these countries won their liberty, 
                and their people became free. These democracies today 
                contribute to a strong Europe, and the United States 
                values their friendship and their partnership.

                On World Freedom Day, we recognize all of those who 
                fought for liberty and helped end the oppression of 
                Central and Eastern Europe. We stand by those who today 
                are enjoying the blessings of liberty. And we reaffirm 
                our commitment to extending peace and freedom in the 
                world.

                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 9, 2004, as World 
                Freedom Day. I call upon the people of the United 
                States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies 
                and activities and to reaffirm their dedication to 
                freedom and democracy.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                ninth day of November, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand four, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and twenty-ninth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
