The President
Proclamation 6667 of April 12, 1994
National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week,
1994
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
In an emergency, most Americans depend on 9-1-1. Each
day, more than half a million public safety
communicators answer desperate calls for help,
responding with services that save the lives and
property of American citizens in need of assistance.
These dedicated men and women are more than anonymous
voices on the telephone line. They are local police,
fire, and medical professionals who use public safety
telecommunications to quickly respond to emergency
calls. They are also Federal public safety officials
who use telecommunications for everything from drug
interdiction to protecting forests to promoting
conservation. We rely on their knowledge and
professionalism as they make critical decisions, obtain
information, and quickly dispatch needed aid.
America's public safety telecommunicators serve our
citizens daily in countless ways. The work of these
``unseen first responders'' is invaluable in emergency
situations, and each of these dedicated men and women
deserves our heartfelt appreciation. Americans place
their trust in these individuals, not just this week,
but every day of the year. This week is a time for a
grateful Nation to show its appreciation and to
recognize that our health, safety, and well-being are
often dependent on the commitment and steadfast
devotion of public safety telecommunicators.
The Congress, by Public Law 103-221, has designated the
week beginning April 11, 1994, as ``National Public
Safety Telecommunicators Week'' and has authorized and
requested the President to issue a proclamation in
observance of this week.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the
United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week
of April 11, 1994, as National Public Safety
Telecommunicators Week. I urge all Americans to observe
this week with appropriate programs, ceremonies,
activities, and appreciation for these outstanding
individuals.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twelfth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen
hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and
eighteenth.
