Title 3--
The President
Proclamation 6701 of June 14, 1994
Father's Day, 1994
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
June conjures up memories of sunny days, backyard
cookouts, relaxing vacations, lush gardens in bloom,
and on the third Sunday of the month, the celebration
of Father's Day. This is a time set aside by tradition
to pay tribute to fathers across our land and to thank
them for their unconditional love, for their belief in
their children's potential, and for their vital
parental role. Their profound influence on their sons
and daughters--on society itself--is incalculable.
The loving concern of fathers in raising, protecting,
educating, encouraging, and providing direction for
their children shapes our national character, as well
as our children's. The positive interaction of fathers
who responsibly welcome the challenges of guiding their
children is immeasurable. Through the nurturing support
of such parents, competent, caring, and resilient
generations of citizens develop and thrive. These
fathers, whether biological, foster, or adoptive,
deserve our honor and gratitude.
All fathers in our society today must reinvest in
supplying emotional and financial support for their
children. It is never too late to assume the
responsibility for meeting a child's needs. To do so,
despite personal and economic hardship, is to help our
children transcend adverse circumstances and to earn
the love, respect, and appreciation that will become a
legacy of devotion for generations long after ours.
Our Nation is becoming increasingly aware that a
father's acceptance and support are powerful
motivators. It is most fitting that we recognize our
fathers' contributions today and every day--that we
express, through word or deed, our appreciation to them
and that we remember their love, their friendship, and
their faith in us.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the
United States of America, in accordance with a joint
resolution of the Congress approved April 24, 1972 (36
U.S.C. 142a), do hereby proclaim, Sunday, June 19,
1994, as ``Father's Day.'' I invite the States,
communities and people of the United States to observe
this day with appropriate ceremonies as a mark of
appreciation and affection for our fathers.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
fourteenth day of June, 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.
(Presidential Sig.)>
