                Proclamation 8133 of April 26, 2007

                
Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, 2007

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, we honor 
                the many contributions citizens of Asian and Pacific 
                Island ancestry have made to our great land.

                The millions of Americans who trace their origins to 
                nations in the Asian/Pacific region have enriched 
                America. The entrepreneurship and innovation of Asian/
                Pacific Americans have strengthened our economy. Asian/
                Pacific Americans enrich our Nation with their strong 
                values of love of family and community. Many Asian/
                Pacific Americans are serving the cause of freedom and 
                peace around the world, and our Nation is grateful for 
                their service. These good men and women defend our 
                safety and contribute to the character and greatness of 
                America.

                To honor the achievements and contributions of Asian/
                Pacific Americans, the Congress, by Public Law 102-450, 
                as amended, has designated the month of May each year 
                as ``Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month.''

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the 
                United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 2007 
                as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month. I call upon 
                the people of the United States to learn more about the 
                history of Asian/Pacific Americans and their many 
                contributions to our Nation and to observe this month 
                with appropriate programs and activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-sixth day of April, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and thirty-first. 
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
