    Message on Public Service Recognition Week, 1995
    April 28, 1995

        Greetings to everyone celebrating Public Service Recognition Week,
    1995.
        Our nation's government has tremendous potential for good when it
    works in partnership with citizens to expand opportunity. With the
    assistance of dedicated public employees, our government has helped to
    advance civil rights, defend freedom, protect our environment, and
    uplift the lives of countless Americans. All those who serve the people
    of the United States can be proud of their contributions to this
    important legacy.
        As our Administration continues its efforts to make government work
    better and cost less, this week offers Americans a special opportunity
    to learn more about the importance of public service. Every citizen has
    a solemn responsibility to understand and become involved in ensuring
    our country's success. I encourage all of you to discover the many ways
    in which our government is changing to keep pace with the times. Your
    participation can help to ensure a brighter future for you and your
    family and for communities throughout the land.
        Best wishes for a most successful week.

                                                                Bill Clinton
