 Proclamations Proc. 8024 Proclamation 8024 of May 24, 2006 Nationa] Homeownership Month, 2006 By the President o/the United States o/America A Proclamation Owning a home is an important part of the American dream. During Na- tional Homeownership Month, we raise awareness of homeownership and encourage more Americans to consider the benefits of owning their own home. Nearly 70 percent of Americans enioy the satisfaction of owning their own home, and my Administration continues to promote an ownership society where the promise of America reaches all our citizens. The American Dream Downpayment Act of 2003 is helping thousands of low to moderate income and minority families with downpayment and closing costs, which represent the greatest barrier to homeownership. Since 2002, when I an- nounced our goal to help 5.5 million minorities become homeowners by the end of this decade, the rate of minority homeownership has climbed above 50 percent, and more than 2.5 million minority families have become new homeowners. My Administration will continue to provide counseling and assistance for new homebuyers and expand homeownership opportuni- ties for all Americans. During National Homeownership Month and throughout the year, we ap- plaud the men and women who work to achieve the dream of homeowner- ship, and we are grateful for those who provide counseling, lending, real estate, construction, and other services to these individuals. The hard work, financial discipline, and personal responsibility of our country's home- owners help transform neighborhoods throughout our Nation and reflect the best qualities of America. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 2006 as National Homeownership Month. I call upon the people of the United States to ioin me in building a more hopeful society and recognizing the importance of expanding the ownership of homes across our great Nation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fourth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independ- ence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.

 Proc. 8025 Title 3--The President Proclamation 8025 of May 25, 2006 Black Music Month, 2006 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation African-American musicians have added to the rich culture of our country and of countries around the world. During Black Music Month, we recog- nize the African-American artists who have enhanced our lives and created some of our Nation's most treasured art forms. Throughout history, African-American artists have produced music with the power to change hearts and shape our national conscience. From gospel to blues, from iazz to rock and roll, the songs of America's black musicians have defined our times and enriched our culture. Performers such as Count Basle and Dizzy Gillespie and vocalists such as Lizzie Miles and gospel singer Mahalia Jackson have made their mark as great American musicians, strengthening our Nation's diversity and lifting the human spirit. In 2005, Americans witnessed the power of music to help bring our coun- try together. Following the devastation of the Gulf Coast by Hurricane Katrina, the musicians of that great region sought to preserve their unique musical style and culture and share it with the rest of the Nation. The soul- ful music of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast remains one of our national treasures, a symbol of creativity and hope. Black Music Month recognizes some of the brightest lights of American cre- ativity and honors the African-American men and women whose art enter- tains and inspires us. The incredible talents of black musicians continue to speak to every heart, reflecting the beauty and pride of our great Nation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2006 as Black Music Month. I encourage all Americans to learn more about the history of black music and to enjoy the great contributions of African-American musicians. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 8026 of June 1, 2006 National Child's Day, 2006 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation A hopeful society ensures that its children are provided with the knowl- edge, skills, and opportunities to succeed. On National Child's Day, we re- affirm our commitment to America's children and recognize the power that each of us has to make a difference in a young person's life. 62

 Proclamations Proc. 8027 The character of a child is formed in the earliest years through the love and guidance of family members and other caring individuals. A parent, teacher, or mentor can help improve a child's academic achievement, courage right choices, and help them to understand the importance of serv- ing a cause greater than self. Through USA Freedom Corps, my Administration is providing opportuni- ties for volunteers to work with children in schools, after-school programs, and through community groups and organizations. By volunteering, these adults set an example of service and good citizenship for our young people and provide youth with the stability and encouragement they need to achieve their dreams. My Administration has also launched the Community Guide to Helping America's Youth at helpingamericasyouth.gov. This web- based tool is part of the Helping America's Youth initiative, led by First Lady Laura Bush, and assists communities in identifying ways to lend a hand to children in need. In addition, my Administration is working through No Child Left Behind and the American Competitiveness Initiative to ensure every child has a quality education and the opportunity to suc- ceed. By investing in the lives of our young people, we can help develop their personal character, teach them to be responsible citizens, and enable them to realize their full potential. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 4, 2006, as National Child's Day. I call upon citizens to obse\177we this day with appropriate ceremonies and activi- ties. I also urge all the people of the United States to take an active role in helping nurture the minds and character of our Nation's children. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 8027 of June 2, 2006 National Oceans Week, 2006 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation During National Oceans Week, we recognize the importance of the oceans to our national heritage, economy, and security and reaffirm our commit- ment to protecting them through wise stewardship and sensible manage- ment. The magnificent beauty of the oceans is a blessing to our country and the world. The oceans also sustain an abundance of natural and historical treasures, enable the transportation of vital goods, and provide food and recreation for millions of people. My Administration is working with State, tribal, and local governments, the private sector, and international partners to foster more effective conservation of our oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes resources and to advance the environmental, economic, and security inter- ests of our Nation. 63

 Proc. 8028 Title 3--The President On December 17, 2004, I established the Committee on Ocean Policy to im- plement the United States Ocean Action Plan. Through this plan, we are building an integrated ocean observing system, promoting ocean education, embarking on deep oceans research, supporting our maritime transportation system, and enhancing our international leadership role in ocean science and policy. We are also advancing legislation to strengthen the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, establish a system of sustainable aquaculture, and maintain protections for marine mammals. To fulfill my commitment to end overfishing, we are working with the Congress to build an improved, market-based system to better manage our fisheries and keep our commercial and recreational fishing industries strong. I appreciate all those who are dedicated to making the oceans, coasts, and Great Lakes cleaner, healthier, and more productive. By working together, all Americans can help sustain the oceans for generations to come. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 4 through June 10, 2006, as National Oceans Week. I call upon the people of the United States to learn more about the vital role the oceans play in the life of our country and how we can conserve their many natural treasures. I encourage all our citizens to observe this week with appropriate programs and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 8028 of June 5, 2006 Caribbean-American Heritage Month, 2006 By the President of the United States of Arnerica A Proclamation During Caribbean-American Heritage Month, we celebrate the great con- tributions of Caribbean Americans to the fabric of our Nation, and we pay tribute to the common culture and bonds of friendship that unite the United States and the Caribbean countries. Our Nation has thrived as a country of immigrants, and we are more vi- brant and hopeful because of the talent, faith, and values of Caribbean Americans. For centuries, Caribbean Americans have enriched our society and added to the strength of America. They have been leaders in govern- ment, sports, entertainment, the arts, and many other fields. During the month of June, we also honor the friendship between the United States and the Caribbean countries. We are united by our common values and shared history, and I join all Americans in celebrating the rich Carib- bean heritage and the many ways in which Caribbean Americans have helped shape this Nation.

 Proclamations Proc. 8029 laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2006 as Caribbean- American Heritage Month. I encourage all Americans to learn more about the history of Caribbean Americans and their contributions to our Nation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 8029 of June 6, 2006 Flag Day and National Flag Week, 2006 By the President of the United States of Arnerica A Proclamation From our Nation's earliest days, Old Glory has stood for America's strength, unity, and liberty. During Flag Day and National Flag Week, we honor this enduring American symbol and celebrate the hope and ideals that it embodies. In 1777, the Second Continental Congress established the flag of a young Nation, whose 13 original states were represented in the fiag's 13 stars and 13 alternating red and white stripes. Today, the Stars and Stripes com- memorate the revolutionary truths of our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. As Americans, we revere freedom and equality, the rights and dignity of every individual, and the supremacy of the rule of law. These fundamental beliefs have guided our country and lifted the fortunes of all Americans, and we have seen their power to transform other nations and deliver hope to people around the world. During Flag Day and National Flag Week, we also honor the men and women who carry our flag into battle. Through their bravery and sacrifice, they help keep America safe and advance peace and freedom around the globe. By flying the flag, we express our gratitude to these heroes and all those who help ensure that the many blessings of our great country con- tinue for generations to come. To commemorate the adoption of our flag, the Congress, by joint resolution approved August 3, 1949, as amended (63 Stat. 492), designated June 14 of each year as "Flag Day" and requested that the President issue an annual proclamation calling for its observance and for the display of the flag of the United States on all Federal Government buildings. The Congress also requested, by joint resolution approved June 9, 1966, as amended (80 Stat. 194), that the President issue annually a proclamation designating the week in which June 14 occurs as "National Flag Week" and calling upon all citi- zens of the United States to display the flag during that week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 14, 2006, as Flag Day and the week beginning June 11, 2006, as National Flag Week. I direct the appropriate officials to display the flag on all Federal Government buildings during that week, and I urge all Americans to observe Flag Day and National Flag Week by flying the Stars and Stripes from their homes and other suitable 65

GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 8030 of June 6, 2006 Father's Day, 2006 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation By offerin\365 \365uidance, support, and unconditional love, a father is one of the most important influences in a child's life. On Father's Day, we honor our fathers and celebrate the special bond between a father and a child. Fathers play a si\365nificant role in shapin\365 the character of their children and the future of our country. By spendin\365 time with their sons and dau\365hters and listenin\365 to their experiences, fathers can have a profound impact on their children's lives. As advisors, role models, and friends, fathers help their children to understand the difference between ri\365ht and wron\365 and to reco\365nize how the decisions they make today can affect the rest of their lives. Fathers instill important values and prepare youn\365 people for the challen\365es and opportunities ahead. Throu\365h their daily sacrifices, fathers provide a lovin\365 and secure home in which their children can \365row to be- come successful adults and \365ood citizens. Their love and dedication inspire the next \365eneration of Americans to achieve their dreams and demonstrate the true spirit of our Nation. Father's Day also \365ives us an opportunity to remember the fathers who are currently servin\365 in our Armed Forces. Our Nation is \365fateful for the cour- a\365e and sacrifice of the many proud fathers wearin\365 our country's uniform. By advancin\365 freedom and protectin\365 our way of life, these brave individ- uals are helpin\365 to lay the foundation of peace for our children and \365rand- children. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, in accordance with a joint resolution of the Congress approved April 24, \177\36572, as amended (30 U.S.C. a0O), do hereby proclaim June as, 2000, as Father's Day. I encourage all Americans to express admiration and appreciation to fathers for their many contributions to our Nation's chil- dren. I direct the appropriate officials of the Government to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on this day. I also call upon State and local governments and citizens to obsel\177Ve this day with ap- propriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

 Proc. 8032 Title 3--The President Proclamation 8032 of June 26, 2006 Independence Day, 2006 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation On July 4, 1776, our Nation's Founders declared "That these United Colo- nies are, and of Right, ought to be free and Independent States." This dec- laration marked a great milestone in the history of human freedom. On the 230th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we pay tribute to the courage and dedication of those who created this coun- try, and we celebrate the values of liberty and equality that make our coun- try strong. The patriots of the Revolutionary War acted on the beliefs that "all men are created equal" and "that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights." By advancing these ideals, generations of Americans have unleashed the hope of freedom for people in every corner of the world. As we celebrate our independence, Americans can take pride in our history and look to the future with confidence. We offer our gratitude to all the American patriots, past and present, who have sought to advance freedom and lay the foundations of peace. Because of their sacrifice, this country remains a beacon of hope for all who dream of liberty and a shining exam- ple to the world of what a free people can achieve. May God continue to bless the United States of America. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim July 4, 2006, as Independ- ence Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe with all due ceremony our Independence Day as a time to honor our Founders and their legacy of freedom and remember with thankfulness the sacrifice of our men and women in uniform. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independ- ence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirtieth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 8033 of June 30, 2006 To Modify Duty-Free Treatment Under the Generalized System of Preferences By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(A) of the Trade Act of \177974, as amended (the "\177974 Act") (\1779 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(A)), beneficiary developing coun- tries, except those designated as least-developed beneficiary developing 102

 Proclamations Proc. 8033 countries or beneficiary sub-Saharan African countries as provided in sec- tion 503(c)(2)(D) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(D)), are subject to competitive need limitations on the preferential treatment afforded under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) to eligible articles. 2. Section 503(c)(2)(C) of the \177974 Act (\1779 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(C)) provides that a country that is no longer treated as a beneficiary developing country with respect to an eligible article may be redesignated as a beneficiary de- veloping country with respect to such article if imports of such article from such country did not exceed the competitive need limitations in section 503(c)(2)(A) of the \177974 Act during the preceding calendar year. 3. Section 503(c)(2)(F)(i) of the \177974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(F)(i)) pro- vides that the President may disregard the competitive need limitation pro- vided in section 503(c)(2)(A)(i)(II) (\1779 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(A)(i)(II)) with re- spect to any eligible article from any beneficiary developing country if the aggregate appraised value of the imports of such article into the United States during the preceding calendar year does not exceed an amount set forth in section 503(c)(2)(F)(ii) (\1779 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(F)(ii)). 4. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(A) of the \177974 Act, I have determined that certain beneficiary developing countries have exported certain eligible arti- cles in quantities exceeding the applicable competitive need limitation in 2005, and I therefore terminate the duty-free treatment for such articles from such beneficiary developing countries. 5. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(C) of the \177974 Act, and subject to the con- siderations set forth in sections 501 and 502 of the \177974 Act, I have deter- mined to redesignate certain countries as beneficiary developing countries with respect to certain eligible articles that previously had been imported in quantities exceeding the competitive need limitations of section 503(c)(2)(A) of the \177974 Act. 6. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(F) of the \177974 Act, I have determined that the competitive need limitation provided in section 503(c)(2)(A)(i)(II) of the \177974 Act should be disregarded with respect to certain eligible articles from certain beneficiary developing countries, as set forth in Annex II to this proclamation. 7. In Proclamation 7758 of March l, 2004, I determined that Barbados had become a "high income" country, and terminated the designation of Bar- bados as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of the GSP, effec- tive }anuary \177, 2006. I have determined that an additional change should be made to general note 4(d) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) to reflect that determination. 8. Section 604 of the \177974 Act, as amended (\1779 U.S.C. 2483), authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the relevant provi- sions of that Act, and of other Acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including the removal, modification, continuance, or imposi- tion of any rate of duty or other import restriction. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including title V and section 604 of the \177974 Act, do hereby proclaim: 103

 Proclamations Proc. 8036 successful adults and responsible citizens who lead lives of purpose. In ad- dition, the commitment of parents to the welfare of young people strength- ens families and communities throughout our great country. My Administration supports grants and programs to promote healthy mar- riages and responsible fatherhood. The No Child Left Behind Act is helping us ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, and recognizes that parental involvement is a vital part of the success of schools across Amer- ica. Federal, State, and local programs, and faith-based and community groups provide additional resources to help parents as they work to raise children of conviction and character. On this special day, we express our deep gratitude to parents for their dedi- cation to a bright and hopeful future for their children. We also pray for parents in the military who stand up for America, and we resolve that their sacrifice will always be honored by a grateful Nation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States and consistent with Public Law 103-362, as amended, do hereby proclaim Sunday, July 23, 2006, as Parents' Day. I call upon citizens, private organizations, and governmental bodies at all levels to engage in activities and educational efforts that recognize, support, and honor parents, and I encourage American sons and daughters to convey their love, respect, and appreciation to their parents. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of July, in the year of our Lord two thousand six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 8036 of July 13, 2006 Captive Nations Week, 2006 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The best hope for peace is the expansion of freedom throughout the world. During Captive Nations Week, we reaffirm our commitment to advancing liberty, protecting human rights, and helping people realize the great prom- ise of democracy. In proclaiming the first Captive Nations Week in 1959, President Dwight Eisenhower said that "the citizens of the United States are linked by bonds of family and principle to those who love freedom and iustice on every continent." Over the past five decades, the force of human freedom has overcome hatred and resentment and overthrown tyrants in nations around the globe. Freedom is on the march, and today more people live in liberty than ever before. The advance of freedom is the story of our time, and we have witnessed remarkable democratic progress in recent years. The people of Afghanistan elected their first democratic parliament in more than a generation. The
