Title 3--
The President
Proclamation 6682 of May 3, 1994
Public Service Recognition Week, 1994
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
At a time when Government is confronting the challenge
of serving the public more efficiently and effectively
than ever while facing substantial resource
constraints, it is especially fitting to recognize the
dedication of our Nation's public employees. The
Federal Government, in its efforts to work better and
cost less, has often found inspiration in the creative
innovations initiated by State and local government
employees. Moreover, the new spirit of partnership
between labor and management in the public sector has
reduced the time and money wasted in unproductive
adversarial proceedings so that more attention can be
devoted to improving the services provided to the
public.
Americans at all levels of government have made a
significant difference in the lives of their fellow
citizens, and it is most appropriate that we set aside
this week to honor them. Public employees educate our
children, administer programs to aid needy citizens,
conduct biomedical research, help protect the
environment, ensure the safety of our food supply,
maintain our transportation networks, provide for the
common defense, and enforce the Constitution and laws
of the United States. These devoted women and men bring
enormous talent, knowledge, and integrity to their
work.
In recognition of the achievements of government
employees, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution
150, has designated the week of May 2, 1994, through
May 8, 1994, as ``Public Service Recognition Week'' and
has authorized and requested the President to issue a
proclamation calling for observance of this week.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the
United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week
of May 2, 1994, through May 8, 1994, as Public Service
Recognition Week. I urge the people of the United
States to participate in appropriate ceremonies and
activities to recognize the vital contributions of
employees of Federal, State, and local government. I
also encourage young Americans to learn more about the
work done by public employees and to consider careers
in public service.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
third day of May, 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.
