                Proclamation 9607 of May 5, 2017

                
Public Service Recognition Week, 2017

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During Public Service Recognition Week, we express 
                gratitude for our civil servants. Their daily effort 
                keeps our Government functioning and helps make our 
                Nation exceptional.

                Throughout my first 100 days, I have seen the 
                tremendous work civil servants do to fulfill our duty 
                to the American people. At all levels of government, 
                our public servants put our country and our people 
                first. The hard work of our mail carriers, teachers, 
                firefighters, transit workers, and many more, creates 
                an environment that allows individuals and companies to 
                thrive.

                To empower our civil servants to best help others, the 
                Government must always operate more efficiently and 
                more securely. In March, I issued an Executive Order on 
                a Comprehensive Plan for Reorganizing the Executive 
                Branch. I am counting on our civil servants to seize 
                upon that order and make our Government dramatically 
                more accountable, effective, and efficient, by going 
                beyond the modernization efforts of the past and re-
                examining the operational core of our executive 
                departments and agencies. Together, through these and 
                other efforts, we will fulfill our responsibilities to 
                make our Government work better for the American 
                people.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim May 7 through May 13, 
                2017, as Public Service Recognition Week. I call upon 
                Americans and all Federal, State, tribal, and local 
                government agencies to recognize the dedication of our 
                Nation's public servants and to observe this week 
                through appropriate programs and activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

                seventeen, and of the Independence of the United States 
                of America the two hundred and forty-first.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
