    Proclamation 9744 of May 4, 2018

    Public Service Recognition Week, 2018

    By the President of the United States of America

    A Proclamation

    During Public Service Recognition Week, we acknowledge our Nation's
    civil servants for their hard work and willingness to serve their fellow
    citizens. The contributions of these dedicated men and women strengthen
    our country and make a profound difference in the lives of all
    Americans.
    Members of our Federal, State, and local workforces bring incredible
    skills, tireless dedication, and selfless service to a broad range of
    career fields. Our Nation's civil servants include teachers, mail
    carriers, first responders, transit workers, and law enforcement
    officers. Our Federal employees underpin nearly all the operations of
    our Government.
    It is critical for Federal employees to provide excellent service and
    wise stewardship of taxpayer resources. In order to facilitate these
    goals, in March, I issued the President's Management Agenda, a long-term
    vision to modernize our Federal Government. Implementation of this
    comprehensive framework will enable employees to achieve the missions of
    their agencies in more efficient and secure manners. This Agenda
    leverages information technology, data, and our Federal workforce to
    accomplish transformational cross-agency goals. Through the Agenda, my
    Administration has established a transparent accountability structure,
    which includes quarterly reviews and public updates, to identify both
    successes and areas that need further attention.
    We are duty-bound to the American people to operate at the highest
    levels of capability and competency. I am confident that, in keeping
    with the Agenda, our devoted civil servants will execute their missions
    so that our Government becomes more efficient and more productive for
    the benefit of all Americans.
    Every day, our Nation's civil servants help make America better, safer,
    and stronger. This week, we honor their efforts and extend our gratitude
    for their exceptionalism and steadfast commitment to serving 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 6 through May 12,
    2018, 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 fourth day of May,
    in the year of our Lord two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence
    of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-second.
    DONALD J. TRUMP
