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
