On the way learn as much as possible from the messenger, so that if you can discover nothing from the patient's pulse, you may still astonish him and gain his confidence by your knowledge of the case. On arrival, ask the friends whether the patient has confessed, for if you bid him do so after the examination it will frighten him. Then sit down, take a drink, and praise the beauty of the country or extol the liberality of the family. Next, proceed to feel his pulse. Do not be in a hurry to give an opinion, for his friends will be more grateful for your judgment if they have to wait for it. Tell the patient you will by God's help cure him, but inform his friends that the case is a serious one."

 Proc. 7871 Title 3--The President Proclamation 7871 of February 28, 2005 American Red Cross Month, 2005 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation Americans have a long history of rising to meet humanitarian challenges, and the American Red Cross is a leader in these efforts. Since 1881, the American Red Cross has met disaster with compassion and courage. During American Red Cross Month, we honor this dedication and reaffirm the im- portance of volunteering time and contributing resources to make our com- munities and the world better. From offering blood drives and lifesaving courses to providing disaster re- lief services at home and abroad, American Red Cross employees and vol- unteers work countless hours to care for those in need and serve a cause greater than self. As a result of the recent tsunami in the Indian Ocean, over 150,000 lives were lost and many more were left homeless and with- out food and water. The American Red Cross swiftly dispatched relief workers to assist those affected, and to distribute supplies, counsel sur- vivors, and help people return home. Here at home, the American Red Cross helps support our troops by trans- mitting emergency messages to members of the Armed Forces and their families. In this past year, the Red Cross has also contributed significantly to relief efforts for hurricanes in Florida, flooding in Western Pennsylvania, wildfires in the Western United States, and mudslides in California. These good works provide hope and healing to those dealing with profound loss and demonstrate the character of the American Red Cross. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America and Honorary Chairman of the American Red Cross, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 2005 as American Red Cross Month. I commend the efforts of American Red Cross employees and volunteers, and I encourage all Americans to donate their time, energy, and talents to sup- port this organization's humanitarian mission. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty- ninth.

 Proclamations Proc.7872 Proclamation 7872 of March 2, 2005 Women's History Month, 2005 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation During Women's History Month, we celebrate the achievements of our Na- tion's women. For generations, American women have helped build our great Nation through their leadership as writers, teachers, artists, politi- cians, doctors, and scientists, and in other professions. As mothers, daugh- ters, and sisters, women have supported and strengthened American fami- lies and communities. Women are at the forefront of entrepreneurship in America, creating millions of new jobs and helping to build our Nation's economic prosperity. We celebrate those who have broken down barriers for women, such as Jac- queline Cochran, who was the founder and director of the Women's Air Force Sel'vice Pilots during World War II and the first woman to break the sound barrier. Gerry Theresa Radnitz Cori was the first American woman to receive a Nobel Prize in the sciences, and her research significantly ad- vanced the treatment of diabetes. In 1926, Olympic Gold Medalist Gertrude Ederle became the first woman to swim the English Channel. Marian An- derson, a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, opened doors in music as the first African American to perform with the New York Metropolitan Opera. Juliette Gordon Low encouraged community sel'vice and the phys- ical, mental, and spiritual development of America's young women as founder of the Girl Scouts of the United States of America. As we work to advance freedom and peace and fight the war on terror, American women in uniform are serving at posts at home and across the world, tak- ing great risks as they make our Nation more secure. As we commemorate Women's History Month, I encourage all Americans to celebrate the extraordinary contributions and accomplishments of Amer- ican women and to continue our progress in making our society more pros- perous, just, and equal. 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 March 2005 as Women's His- tory Month. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that honor the history, accomplishments, and contributions of American women. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-ninth.

 Proc. 7873 Title 3--The President Proclamation 7873 of March 4, 2005 Irish-American Herita\365e Month, 2005 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation The story of the Irish in America is an important part of the history of our country. This month, we pay tribute to Americans of Irish descent who have shaped our Nation and influenced American life. Long before the great wave of Irish immigration in the 1840s, people of Irish ancestry were defining and defending our Nation. Char]es Thomson, an Irishman by birth, served as Secretary of the Continental Congress and helped design the Great Sea] of the United States. Irish-born Commodore John Barry fought for our country's independence and later helped found the United States Navy. Irish Americans have been leaders in our public life, and they have re- tained a proud reverence for their heritage. In June 1963, President John F. Kennedy spoke to the Parliament in Dub]in and told the story of the Irish Brigade, a regiment that fought valiantly for the Union and suffered terrible losses during the Civil War. Two decades after President Kennedy's visit, President Ronald Reagan returned to his great-grandfather's home- town in County Tipperary, Ireland, and greeted the crowd in their own Irish language. The industry, talent, and imagination of Irish Americans have enriched our commerce and our culture. Their strong record of public service has for- tified our democracy. Their strong ties to family, faith, and community have strengthened our Nation's character. The Irish are a significant reason why Americans will always be proud to call ourselves a Nation of immi- grants. 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 March 2005 as Irish-Amer- ican Heritage Month. I ca]] upon all Americans to observe this month by celebrating the contributions of Irish Americans to our Nation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-ninth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7874 of March 4, 2005 Save Your Vision Week, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Eye disease causes suffering, loss of productivity, and diminished quality of life for millions of Americans. During Save Your Vision Week, we raise 32

 Proclamations Proc. 7875 awareness of eye disease and encourage all our citizens to take action to safeguard their eyesight. As people age, they can develop conditions that affect eyesight, including cataracts, glaucoma, retinal disorders, dry eye, and low vision. Through regular eye exams, many of these problems can be detected and treated early, reducing the risk of vision loss. The National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), suggests five steps for all Ameri- cans to take to protect their eyesight: regular physical exams; a complete eye exam every 1 to 2 years; a check of family history; immediate attention if you notice any loss of eyesight, eye pain, or other eye problems; and use of sunglasses and a hat to protect eyes from the damaging effects of ultra- violet rays. My Administration is committed to helping Americans lead better, healthier lives. We have doubled funding for the NIH, helping the United States to stay on the leading edge of medical research and technological change. Through education, prevention, early detection, and further re- search into effective treatments for eye disease, we can bring hope and comfort to our citizens and help more Americans keep the precious gift of sight. The Congress, by joint resolution approved December 30, 1963, as amended (77 Stat. 629; 36 U.S.C. \17738), has authorized and requested the President to proclaim the first week in March of each year as "Save Your Vision Week." NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 6 through March \1772, 2005, as Save Your Vision Week. I encourage eye care professionals, teachers, the media, and public and private organizations dedicated to preserving eyesight to join in activities that will raise awareness of the measures all citizens can take to protect vision. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-ninth.

 Proc. 7876 Title 3--The President Week 43 years ago, many deaths and injuries have been prevented through increased public awareness, the use of child-resistant packaging, and a na- tional network of poison control centers. We must build on this progress by taking additional precautions to keep our children safe. All potentially hazardous products, including those encased in child-resistant packaging, should be stored out of the reach of children. Parents can educate them- selves about poisons and receive safety information by visiting the Poison Prevention Week Council website at www.poisonprevention.org. In case of an emergency, families should keep the toll-free number, 1-800-222-1222, on hand in order to reach the nearest Poison Control Center. By properly supervising children, taking preventive measures, and knowing what to do in an emergency, we can help protect our young people from the risks of accidental poisonings. To encourage Americans to learn more about the dangers of accidental poisonings and to take appropriate preventive measures, the Congress, by joint resolution approved September 26, 196% as amended (75 Stat. 68\177), has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation desig- nating the third week of March each year as "National Poison Prevention Week." NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 20 through March 26, 2005, as Na- tional Poison Prevention Week. I call upon all Americans to observe this week by participating in appropriate ceremonies and activities and by learning how to prevent poisonings among children. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the Independ- ence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-ninth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7876 of March 24, 2005 Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Well before modern Greece gained her independence, the ancient Athe- nians adopted democratic principles that guided their society. These prin- ciples inspired our Founding Fathers to proclaim the imperative of self- government as they worked to build our great Nation. America's love for liberty has deep roots in the spirit of Greece. On Greek Independence Day, we celebrate our special ties of friendship, history, and shared values with Greece. Our country has welcomed generations of Greek immigrants, and we are grateful for their talents, wisdom, and creativity. We honor the Greek spirit that values family and education, public service and faith. Greek Ameri- cans have made a mark in every field--enhancing our culture, enriching our commerce, and defending our freedom. Their strong record of public 34

Our two Nations are founded on shared ideals of liberty, and we are working together to advance those ideals across the world today. 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 March 25, 2005, as Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy.

GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7877 of March 31, 2005 National Crime Victims' Rights Week, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In proclaiming the first Victims' Rights Week in 1981, President Reagan said, "it is time all of us paid greater heed to the plight of victims." Since then, America has made great progress in treating crime victims with great- er respect, meeting their needs, and providing them with help, hope, and healing. Each year, during National Crime Victims' Rights Week, we re- member those who have lost their lives in violent crimes. We also renew our commitment to address the needs of victims and their families and to build public awareness of crime victims' rights. The violent crime rate is at its lowest point in three decades. We must re- main steadfast in our efforts to make America safer for all citizens and fair- er for victims of crime. The Department of Justice has received historic lev- els of funding for programs to protect women and prosecute criminals. Family Justice Centers are helping local communities provide comprehen- sive services to victims of domestic crime and their loved ones. State and local law enforcement officials are continuing to serve the public and assist victims of crime. I signed into law the Justice for All Act of 2004, which expands DNA testing and enhances the scope and enforceability of crime victims' rights. As we work to combat crime and support victims, we must also ensure the fairness and effectiveness of our criminal justice system. All 50 States and the Federal Government have passed important legal protections for victims of violent crime, and more than half the States have amended their con- stitutions to guarantee rights for victims. My Administration continues to 35

To- gether, their commitment and compassion help ensure that our legal system stands up for the rights of victims and that our communities step forward to lend a hand to people in need. During this week, we honor their extraor- dinary work and renew our pledge to protect the rights of crime victims. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W.

GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7878 of April 1, 2005 National Child Abuse Prevention Month, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Our Nation has a responsibility to build a safe and nurturing society so that our young people can realize their full potential. During National Child Abuse Prevention Month, we renew our commitment to preventing child abuse and rededicate ourselves to working together to ensure that all chil- dren can have a bright and hopeful future. Creating a protective environment for our young people requires the shared commitment of individuals, families, and faith-based and community orga- nizations. Parents and family members are the first and most important in- fluence in a child's life. A safe and stable family can provide children with a foundation of love and security that encourages positive growth and de- velopment. Federal, State, and local government officials can also improve the lives of our young people by doing all they can to keep children safe from harm. Together, we can protect our future generations so that they can realize the opportunities of our Nation. By providing help and hope to our young peo- ple, we will build a better and more compassionate world for our children and grandchildren. 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 April 2005 as National Child 36

GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7879 of April 1, 2005 National Donate Life Month, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation America's health care system is the best in the world. We are blessed with skilled doctors and medical professionals, advances in technology, and countless organ, tissue, and bone marrow donors who help save lives. Dur- ing National Donate Life Month, we continue to work to raise donation awareness, help people get the information they need to become donors, and recognize those who have chosen to donate. Organ donors share the precious gift of life with others and demonstrate the compassionate spirit of our Nation. Most people are eligible to donate organs, tissue, or bone marrow. They can join the donor registry in their State, indicate donations on their driver's license, or complete and carry a donor card. Through these measures, Americans help others in need to live longer and healthier lives. My Administration remains committed to increasing organ and tissue dona- tion. Over the past 4 years, more than 10,500 organizations have joined the Department of Health and Human Services' "Gift of Life Donation Initia- tive" and made donation information available to their employees, associ- ates, and members. My fiscal year 2006 budget proposal includes $23 mil- lion for donation and transplant services at HHS and an additional $23 mil- lion for the National Bone Marrow Donor Registry. These programs will help increase donation rates, treat patients in need, and strengthen efforts to find suitable bone marrow donors. During National Donate Life Month, I join our citizens in honoring donors and their families. The generosity of these individuals reflects the great character of our country and sets a fine example for all Americans. 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 April 2005 as National Do- nate Life Month. I urge health care professionals, volunteers, educators, government agencies, and private organizations to help raise awareness of the need for organ and tissue donors across our Nation. 37

GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7880 of April 1, 2005 National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation From the time of our Nation's founding, members of our military have built a tradition of honorable and faithful service. As they fought to protect our security and defend our ideals, some endured the extreme hardship of enemy captivity. On National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day, we remember those courageous individuals taken prisoner while defending our country, and we honor their extraordinary sacrifices. America's former prisoners of war are among our Nation's bravest heroes. Under the worst conditions, they fought fiercely and served with honor, and they continue to inspire generations with their strength and persever- ance. In serving our Nation, each demonstrated personal courage, love of country, and devotion to duty. Because of their sacrifices, and the selfless- ness and heroism of all who have served in our Armed Forces, millions of people now live in freedom, and America remains the greatest force for good on Earth. On this day, we honor their role in protecting our country and the liberty of mankind. Today, our brave men and women in uniform carry on their legacy--unre- lenting in battle, unwavering in loyalty, and unmatched in decency. As we pursue victory in the war on terror, I join all Americans in expressing our deepest gratitude to every service member who has been a prisoner of war and to their families. 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 April 9, 2005, as National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day. I call upon the people of the United States to join me in remembering former American prisoners of war by honoring their sacrifices. I also call upon Federal, State, and local gov- ernment officials and private organizations to observe this day with appro- priate ceremonies and activities.

BUSH Proclamation 7882 of April 5, 2005 Pan American Day and Pan American Week, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Leaders across the Americas understand that the hope for peace in our world depends on the unity of free nations. Each year, the people of the United States observe Pan American Day and Pan American Week to honor our shared commitment to freedom, prosperity, and security. We are work- ing with our partners in the Western Hemisphere to advance our common interests and values so that we can build a brighter future for our citizens. The idea of regional solidarity and inter-American cooperation, first envi- sioned in 1826 by Simon Bolivar, became a reality in 1890 when the First International Conference of American States concluded its meetings in Washington, D.C. There, President Benjamin Harrison praised the efforts of the countries in attendance for their desire to work together as American States. Through the years, these efforts, shared values, and mutual respect have strengthened this partnership. Across our hemisphere, social, economic, military, and political coopera- tion are widespread. Last year, trade officials of five Central American na- tions and the Dominican Republic signed the Central American-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement with the United States. I urge the Congress to ratify this agreement, which will eliminate tariffs and trade barriers and expand regional opportunities. 39

GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7883 of April 5, 2005 National D.A.R.E. Day, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Across America, law enforcement officers, volunteers, parents, and teachers are helping to send the right message to our Nation's youth about illegal drugs and violence through the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) Program. On National D.A.R.E. Day, we express our gratitude for the impor- tant work of these individuals and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that every child has an opportunity for a bright and hopeful future. For over two decades, D.A.R.E. programs have taught our Nation's young people about the dangers of drug use and encouraged them to lead produc- tive, drug-free, and violence-free lives. Police officers and all those in- volved in D.A.R.E. help save lives by opening the lines of communication between law enforcement and our young people to better enable them to make the right choices. In a culture in which bad influences and tempta- tions are all too present, these soldiers in the armies of compassion are fos- tering a culture of responsibility among young people. My Administration will continue to stand with families and communities to combat the dangers of drugs and violence. In my State of the Union Ad- dress, I announced a new initiative called Helping America's Youth to help ensure a successful future for young Americans. Led by First Lady Laura 40

GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7884 of April 5, 2005 Cancer Control Month, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation We are making great gains in the fight against cancer. Advances in preven- tion, early detection, and treatment are reducing cancer rates and increas- ing the likelihood of survival. Despite this progress, cancer remains the sec- ond leading cause of death in America. During Cancer Control Month, we continue to work to learn more about cancer prevention and detection, pro- mote efforts to find better treatments and a cure, and support cancer pa- tients, survivors, and their families. A healthy lifestyle can lower the risk of developing certain types of cancer. This year, the Department of Health and Human Services released new Die- ta\177y Guidelines for Americans 2005, which emphasize reducing caloric in- take, eating healthy foods, and increasing physical activity. I encourage all Americans to follow these guidelines, to use sunscreen and limit exposure to the sun, and to avoid tobacco and alcohol abuse. I also urge citizens to talk with their doctors about their cancer risk and to get regular check-ups and preventive screenings. Detecting cancer early increases survival rates and saves lives. There are nearly 9.8 million cancer survivors in the United States today be- cause of advances in health care. Aggressive funding will lead scientists to 41

As we observe this month, we honor cancer survivors for their inspiring examples of courage, steadfast strength, and willingness to share their sto- ries and experiences with others. We recognize the families, friends, and loved ones who support and encourage those living with cancer.

During National Volunteer Week, we recognize the mil- lions of individuals who touch our lives as soldiers in America's armies of compassion. Our Nation's volunteers inspire us with their dedication, commitment, and efforts to build a more hopeful country for our citizens. Americans take pride in the example of citizens who give their time and energy to care for the most vulnerable among us. In the past year, millions of volunteers have mentored children, provided shelter for the homeless, prepared for and responded to disasters, cared for the sick and elderly, fed the hungry, and performed other acts of kindness and community service. These selfless deeds have contributed to a culture of compassion and taught young people the importance of giving back to their communities. My Administration is encouraging volunteer service through the USA Free- dom Corps, and we have seen tremendous growth in the number of volun- teers.

 Proc. 7889 Title 3--The President Proclamation 7889 of April 20, 2005 National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, 2005 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation Physical fitness is vital to a healthy lifestyle. During National Physical Fit- ness and Sports Month, we highlight the importance of integrating exercise into our daily routines and encourage all our citizens to live more active lives. Physical fitness benefits both the body and the mind. Regular exercise, along with healthy eating habits, helps prevent serious health problems, improves productivity, and promotes better sleep and relaxation. Maintain- ing an active lifestyle reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, asthma, heart disease, and certain cancers. Americans can im- prove their health and well-being by dedicating a small part of each day to physical activity. As children grow, athletic activities teach them important life lessons and help prepare them for the opportunities ahead. Sports are a way for young Americans to meet new friends, discover the value of teamwork, discipline, and patience, and ]earn to win and lose with respect for others. From base- ball to mountain biking to swimming, sports and physical activities can be a great chance to get outdoors and enjoy memorable experiences with fam- ily and friends. Through the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, my Ad- ministration is promoting the incorporation of physical activity into daily life and the importance of a healthy lifestyle. The Council's website, www.fitness.gov, provides information on steps individuals can take to live better and more productive ]ives. Programs like "The President's Chal- lenge" help individuals set fitness goals and work hard to achieve them. I urge all Americans to set aside time to improve their health through phys- ical fitness and sports, and I encourage individuals to help motivate their family and friends to get out and exercise.

 Proclamations Proc. 7890 Proclamation 7890 of April 28, 2005 National Charter Schools Week, 2005 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation Strong schools are the building blocks of a prosperous and hopeful country. To ensure that all our children receive the education they need to succeed, schools must be innovative, accountable, and committed to student achievement. The charter school movement was founded on these prin- ciples and has played an important role in expanding educational choices in America. This week, we highlight the importance of charter schools and recognize their contributions to American education. Charter schools are unique because they are public schools operating under a contract from a public agency. In exchange for increased flexibility in teaching methods and curricula, these schools promise to meet strict ac- countability standards designed to improve student performance. Four hun- dred new charter schools opened in 32 states for the 2004-2005 school year, and there are nearly 3,400 charter schools serving almost one million children in America. These institutions have provided a valuable alter- native to families throughout the country. My Administration is committed to advancing public education in Amer- ica. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 is bringing increased account- ability to our schools. Test scores are rising, and the achievement gap for minority students is closing. Our continued strong commitment to this leg- islation is ensuring that parents have greater flexibility when deciding on how best to educate their children. To support and enhance school choice, I have proposed $219 million for Charter School Grants and $37 million for Credit Enhancement for Charter School Facilities. I have also called for $50 million in new funding for the Choice Incentive Fund to support de- velopment of innovative school-choice programs. We must continue to demand better results from our schools so that every high school diploma represents a significant level of educational achieve- ment and all graduates are armed with the tools to succeed in the 21st Cen- tury. I commend the teachers and administrators of charter schools and all educators who are providing innovative alternatives that prepare our chil- dren for a bright and successful future. 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 May 1 through 7, 2005, as National Charter Schools Week. I ca]] on parents of charter school students and all those involved with charter schools to share their success stories and help Americans ]earn more about the important work of these institu- tions. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of April in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty- ninth.

 Proc. 7891 Title 3--The President Proclamation 7891 of April 29, 2005 Law Day, U.S.A., 2005 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation The American legal system helps preserve our constitutional principles and ensures justice for all our citizens. As we celebrate Law Day, we recognize our Nation's commitment to the rule of law and the rights and privileges that all Americans share. President Eisenhower established Law Day in 1958 to pay tribute to our heritage of liberty, justice, and equality under the law. Each year on Law Day, we recognize our Nation's commitment to a fair legal system and to protecting the rights and freedoms we cherish. The theme of this year's Law Day, "The American Jury: We the People in Action," recognizes the imperative of self-government and the necessity of individuals' participation in the judicial process. By taking time away from their day-to-day responsibilities to serve on juries, Americans demonstrate their commitment to good citizenship and their willingness to uphold the laws of our Nation. Since our founding, the jury has been a fundamental institution in Amer- ican law and a pillar of our democracy. As we celebrate Law Day this year, we honor the continued role of the jury as a foundation of our legal system, and express our appreciation to all Americans who serve on juries. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, in accordance with Public Law 87-20, as amended, do hereby proclaim May 1, 2005, as Law Day, U.S.A. I also encourage Americans to observe May i through May 7, 2005, as National Juror Appreciation Week. I call upon the people of the United States to acknowledge the importance of our Nation's legal and judicial systems with appropriate ceremonies and activities, and to display the flag of the United States in support of this na- tional observance. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty- ninth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7892 of April 29, 2005 Loyalty Day, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Generations of men and women have sacrificed to defend the basic prin- ciples of liberty upon which our Nation was founded.

Rh something new every day, lest they say you are good at nothing but books."

"Work on your patients; secure their confidence, light up their imagination, and you are sure of success."

The doctor's fee was a much-considered item: "Never dine with a patient who has not paid you; it will be cheaper to get your dinner at an inn, for such feasts are usually deducted from the surgeon's fee."

Here is an ingenious device for securing the fee: "When you are treating a wound or accident, the friends of the patient should be excluded, for they may faint and cause a disturbance, but sometimes a higher fee may be got from persons present fainting and breaking their heads against wood and the like, than from the principal patient."

Some of their prescriptions are equally suggestive. Here is an ingenious cure for lethargy: "Shave the patient's head and anoint it with honey; the flies will so worry him that he will continually strike out at them, which will cure his lethargy."

Or here are instructions for the treatment of palpitations: "Let the patient avoid all coarse

 Proclamations Proc. 7893 service helps keep America strong and free. On Loyalty Day, we join to- gether to celebrate this bond that makes our country great. For more than two centuries, our military has given us examples of courage and patriotism that make every American proud. Today, more than a mil- lion Americans are stationed around the world, taking great risks and mak- ing personal sacrifices to secure the blessings of liberty for our country and to spread peace and freedom. These brave men and women are unrelenting in battle and unwavering in loyalty. Their service exemplifies our Nation's ideals, and they have our gratitude and support. Volunteer service is also a proud American value. Our Nation relies on compassionate souls who look after their neighbors and surround the lost with love. Through good works, we can extend the promise of our country into every home and neighborhood. This year, I announced a new initia- tive, Helping America's Youth, led by First Lady Laura Bush, to help young people overcome the challenges they may face and emphasize the impor- tance of loving, caring adults in every child's life. By educating and pre- paring today's young people to be the leaders of tomorrow, we strengthen our country and pass on the liberties we cherish to rising generations. The Congress, by Public Law 85-529, as amended, has designated May 1 of each year as "Loyalty Day." On Loyalty Day, we honor our great Nation and the people who help keep it safe and strong. I ask all Americans to join me in this day of celebration and in reaffirming our allegiance to our Nation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May l, 2005, as Loyalty Day. I call upon all the people of the United States to join in support of this national ob- servance, and to display the flag of the United States on Loyalty Day. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand five, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty- ninth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7893 of May 3, 2005 National Observance of the 60th Anniversary of the End of World War II, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Sixty years ago, the flags of freedom unfurled across Europe and Asia as victorious American and Allied troops brought World War II to an end. Freedom prevailed when millions were liberated from oppression and tyr- anny was replaced by democracy. The years of World War II were a hard, heroic, and gallant time in the life of our country. When it mattered most, a generation of Americans showed the finest qualities of our Nation and of humanity. More than \1776 million 49
