 Proc. 7874 Title 3--The President Americans served during World War II, putting on the uniform of the Sol- dier, the Sailor, the Airman, the Marine, the Coast Guardsman, or the Mer- chant Mariner. They were the sons and daughters of a peaceful country, who gave the best years of their lives to the greatest mission our country ever accepted. They earned 464 Medals of Honor, and over 400,000 made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom. Millions more supported the war effort at home--caring for the iniured and working in factories to provide sup- plies to those fighting in distant places like Midway, Normandy, Iwo }ima, and Bastogne. As the war drew to a close, Americans remained united in support of the vital cause of restoring the liberty of mankind. When the end of the war in Europe was announced on May 8, 1945, hundreds of people rushed to the White House to celebrate the triumph of freedom. President Harry Tru- man addressed the American people from the White House and said, "For this victory, we ioin in offering our thanks to the Providence which has guided and sustained us through the dark days of adversity." In the fol- lowing months, the war in the Pacific was won and a grateful Nation began welcoming home liberty's heroes. Many who had left America's farms and cities as young men and women returned as seasoned veterans ready to fin- ish their education, start families, and assume leadership roles in their communities. Today, as we wage the war on terror and work to extend peace and free- dom around the world, our service men and women follow in the footsteps of our World War II veterans by upholding the noble tradition of duty, honor, and love of country. Like generations before them, America's Armed Forces are among the world's greatest forces for good, answering today's dangers and challenges with firm resolve. Their vital mission will help se- cure our Nation in a new century, and all Americans are grateful for their courage, devotion to duty, and sacrifice. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7894 of May 3, 2005 Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, 2005 By the President of the United States of Arnerica A Proclamation Millions of Americans proudly trace their ancestry to the many nations that make up Asia and the Pacific islands. For generations, Americans of Asian/ Pacific heritage have strengthened our Nation through their achievements in all walks of life, including business, politics, education, community service, the arts, and science. This month we honor Asian/Pacific Americans for their contributions to our Nation's growth and development and to the spread of freedom around the world. This year's theme, "Liberty and Freedom for All," honors the sacrifices of Asian/Pacific Americans in the defense of freedom and democ- racy. We remember the bravery of soldiers of Asian/Pacific descent who have served in our military. These proud patriots stepped forward and fought for the security of our country and the peace of the world, and they 50

 Proclamations Proc. 7895 will always hold a cherished place in our history. As we confront the chal- lenges of the 21st century and fight the war on terror, Americans of Asian/ Pacific descent continue to serve in the Armed Forces and are working to secure our homeland and promote peace and liberty around the world. Their dedication and patriotism uphold the highest ideals of our country. To honor the achievements and contributions of Asian/Pacific Americans, the Congress by Public Law 102-450 as amended, has designated the month of May each year as "Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month." NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 2005 as Asian/Pacific American Herit- age Month. I call upon the people of the United States to learn more about the history of Asian/Pacific Americans and their many contributions to our Nation and to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this third day of May, 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 7895 of May 3, 2005 Older Americans Month, 2005 By the President of the United States of Arnerica A Proclamation Older Americans teach us the timeless lessons of courage, sacrifice, and love. By sharing their wisdom and experience, they serve as role models for future generations. During Older Americans Month, we pay tribute to our senior citizens and their contributions to our Nation. Our seniors deserve our greatest respect. Their example shows us how to persevere in the face of hardship, care for others in need, and take pride in our communities. Their patriotism, service, and leadership inspire Americans and shape the character and future of our country. Millions of Americans are now living longer, more productive lives, and many are choosing to stay active in the workforce. Senior citizens are also giving their time and talents by volun teering in many ways--from men- toting youth and participating in environmental stewardship projects to serving the homeless and assisting in emergency preparedness. More than 500,000 senior citizens volunteer through Senior Corps, a network of pro- grams that enables older Americans to meet the needs and challenges of their communities. Through the USA Freedom Corps and Senior Corps, older Americans are dedicating their time and energy to strengthening our Nation and serving a cause greater than themselves. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Older Americans Act of 1965, which was created to improve the welfare of our seniors. By treating older Americans with the dignity and respect they deserve, we honor their legacy and contributions to our Nation. Their guidance and love enrich our coun- try and make America a better place for all. 51

GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7896 of May 3, 2005 National Day of Prayer, 2005 By the President of the United States of Arnerica A Proclamation Since our Nation's earliest days, prayer has given strength and comfort to Americans of all faiths. Our Founding Fathers relied on their faith to guide them as they built our democracy\337 Today, we continue to be inspired by God's blessings, mercy, and boundless love\337 As we observe this National Day of Prayer, we humbly acknowledge our reliance on the Almighty, ex- press our gratitude for His blessings, and seek His guidance in our daily lives\337 Throughout our history, our Nation has turned to prayer for strength and guidance in times of challenge and uncertainty\337 The Continental Congress, meeting in 1775, asked the colonies to pray for wisdom in forming a new Nation\337 Throughout the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln issued ex- hortations to prayer, calling upon the American people to humble them- selves before their Maker and to serve all those in need\337 At the height of World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt led our citizens in prayer over the radio, asking for God to protect our sons in battle\337 Today, our Nation prays for those who serve bravely in the United States Armed Forces in dif- ficult missions around the world, and we pray for their families.

As we face the challenges of our times, God's purpose continues to guide us, and we continue to trust in the goodness of His plans\337 The Congress by Public Law 100-307, as amended, has called on our citi- zens to reaffirm the role of prayer in our society and to honor the freedom of religion by recognizing annually a "National Day of Prayer\337" 52

 Proclamations Proc. 7897 NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 5, 2005, as a National Day of Prayer. I ask the citizens of our Nation to give thanks, each according to his or her own faith, for the liberty and blessings we have received and for God's con- tinued guidance and protection. I also urge all Americans to loin in observ- ing this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this third day of May, 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 7897 of May 5, 2005 Mother's Day, 2005 By the President of the United States of Arnerica A Proclamation On Mother's Day, we pay tribute to the extraordinary women whose guid- ance and unconditional love shape our lives and our future. Motherhood often allows little time for rest. As President Theodore Roosevelt said of the American mother in 1905, "Upon her time and strength, demands are made not only every hour of the day but often every hour of the night." President Roosevelt's words ring as true today as they did 100 years ago. The hard, perpetual work of motherhood shows us that a single soul can make a difference in a young person's future. As sources of hope, stability, and love, mothers teach young people to honor the values that sustain a free society. By raising children to be responsible citizens, mothers serve a cause larger than themselves and strengthen communities across our great Nation. Mothers are tireless advocates for children. In our schools, mothers help to ensure that every child reaches his or her full potential. In our commu- nities, they set an example by reaching out to those who are lost and offer- ing love to those who hurt. A mother's caring presence helps children to resist peer pressure, focus on making the right choices, and realize their promise and potential. In an hour of testing, one person can show the compassion and character of a whole country. In supporting their sons and daughters as they grow and learn, mothers bring care and hope into others' lives and make our Na- tion a more lust, compassionate, and loving place. The Congress, by a ioint resolution approved May 8, 1914, as amended (38 Star. 770), has designated the second Sunday in May each year as "Moth- er's Day" and has requested the President to call for its appropriate observ- ance. It is my honor to do so. May God bless mothers across our great land on this special day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 8, 2005, as Mother's Day. I encourage 53

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of May, 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 7898 of May 5, 2005 Jewish Heritage Week, 2005 By the President of the United States of Arnerica A Proclamation During }ewish Heritage Week, we celebrate and honor }ewish Americans for their contributions to this country and for helping to shape our national character. The story of the }ewish people reflects the triumph of faith, the importance of family, and the power of hope. Through inspiring stories of personal sac- rifice and survival, the }ewish people have demonstrated unyielding trust in a loving God and enduring faith in human freedom. America is stronger and more hopeful because of the industry, talent, and imagination of }ewish Americans from around the world. Their commit- ment to excellence in science, public service, law, athletics, literature, and countless other fields has enriched our Nation and enhanced our culture. Through strong ties to family and community, }ewish Americans reflect a compassionate spirit and set a positive example for others. We are also grateful for their legacy of selfless service to our country. As our troops defend liberty and justice abroad, we recognize }ewish Ameri- cans who have answered the call to help keep our Nation secure and build a more peaceful world. Their personal courage, love of country, and devo- tion to duty are helping to bring freedom and hope to millions who had previously lived under tyranny. 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 8 through May 15, 2005, as }ewish Heritage Week. I urge all Americans to celebrate the contributions of }ewish Americans to our Nation and observe this week with appropriate programs and activities.

 Proclamations Proc. 7899 Proclamation 7899 of May 10, 2005 National Hurricane Preparedness Week, 2005 By the President of the United States o/America A Proc]amation Each year from June through November, Americans living on the Eastern seaboard and along the Gulf of Mexico face an increased threat of hurri- canes. These powerful storms can create severe flooding, cause power out- ages, and damage homes and businesses with their high winds, tornadoes, storm surges, and heavy rainfall. The effects of these storms can be dev- astating to families and cause lasting economic distress. During National Hurricane Preparedness Week, we call attention to the importance of plan- ning ahead and securing our homes and property in advance of storms. Last year, six hurricanes and three tropical storms hit the United States, causing the loss of dozens of lives and billions of dollars in damage. Across the United States, Americans responded to these natural disasters with ex- traordinary strength, compassion, and generosity. Many volunteers donated their time and talents to help with the cleanup, recovery, and rebuilding of communities devastated by the hurricanes and tropical storms. To prepare for the 2005 hurricane season, I urge all our citizens to become aware of the dangers of hurricanes and tropical storms and to learn how to minimize their destructive effects. Our Nation's weather researchers and forecasters continue to improve the accuracy of hurricane warnings, ena- bling residents and visitors to prepare for storms. By working together, Fed- eral, State, and local agencies, first responders, the news media, and private citizens can help save lives and diminish the damage caused by these nat- ural disasters. 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 15 through May 21, 2005, as National Hurricane Preparedness Week. I call upon government agencies, private organizations, schools, and the news media to share infor- mation about hurricane preparedness and response to help save lives and prevent property damage. I also call upon Americans living in hurricane- prone areas of our Nation to use this opportunity to learn more about pro- tecting themselves against the effects of hurricanes and tropical storms. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of May, 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. 7900 Title 3--The President Proclamation 7900 of May 12, 2005 World Trade Week, 2005 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation Free and fair trade creates lobs, raises living standards, and lowers prices for families throughout America. It also strengthens our relationships with other countries, helping us to forge new partnerships based on a commit- ment to generate new prosperity and a better way of life for people in America and throughout the world. This year, as we mark the tenth anni- versary of the World Trade Organization, World Trade Week provides an opportunity to recognize the many benefits of free and fair trade in strengthening economies and improving lives. Because 95 percent of the world's population resides outside of our bor- ders, trade creates opportunities for American farmers, small businesses, and manufacturers to sell their products to consumers across the world. Trade also raises up the world's poor, bringing hope to those in despair. Millions of American iobs depend on exports, and my Administration is committed to opening markets around the world for American products. Since 2001, we have completed free trade agreements with 12 nations, rep- resenting a combined market of 124 million consumers for American prod- ucts, goods, and services. These agreements will create millions of new consumers for America's farmers, manufacturers, and small business own- ers, and deepen our friendships with countries in other parts of the world. As we open up new markets to trade, we must always ensure that Amer- ican workers are treated fairly. Our workers can compete with anyone, any- where, so long as the rules are fair. My Administration will continue to en- force trade agreements and insist upon a level playing field for America's workers. 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 15 through May 21, 2005, as World Trade Week. I encourage all Americans to observe this week with events, trade shows, and educational programs that celebrate the benefits of trade to our Nation and the global economy. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of May, 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.

 Proclamations Proc. 7901 Proclamation 7901 of May 13, 2005 Peace Officers Memoria] Day and Po]ice Week, 2005 By the President o/the United States o/America A Proclamation Across our Nation, the courageous men and women who protect our com- munities wear the uniform and badge with pride as they safeguard our fam- ilies, homes, and communities. On Peace Officers Memorial Day and Police Week, we honor the memory of those heroes who have fallen in the line of duty and recognize all those who put themselves at risk in the fight against crime, violence, and terrorism. More than 800,000 men and women serve as officers of the law in the United States. They serve in varying capacities, including as U.S. Marshals, county sheriffs, deputies, State patrolmen, municipal police, and Federal agents. They share the fundamental qualities of discipline, integrity, and courage. Since our Nation's founding, peace officers have upheld the rule of law and defended the innocent, and we are grateful to them and their families for all they do to strengthen our communities. On Peace Officers Memorial Day, we pause to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. These brave men and women accepted the re- sponsibilities of a noble calling and were willing to face danger for our safety. By having their names engraved into the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C., and praying for their families, we honor the memory of these fallen heroes and show the respect of a grateful Nation. During Police Week and throughout the year, I urge all Americans to sup- port law enforcement officers in the fight against crime. Every citizen can assist his or her local police force to help make our communities safer. Successful Citizen Corps programs like Neighborhood Watch and Volun- teers in Police Service are making a difference in the lives of others, one heart and one neighborhood at a time. Information about these and other volunteer programs can be obtained by visiting the Citizen Corps website at citizencorps.gov. By working together, we can continue to build a safer America. By a joint resolution approved October 1, 1962, as amended, (76 Stat. 676), the Congress has authorized and requested the President to designate May 15 of each year as "Peace Officers Memorial Day" and the week in which it falls as "Police Week," and by Public Law 103-322, as amended, (36 U.S.C. 136), has directed that the flag be flown at half-staff on Peace Offi- cers Memorial Day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 15, 2005, as Peace Officers Memorial Day and May 15 through May 21, 2005, as Police Week. I call on all Ameri- cans to observe these events with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I also call on Governors of the United States and the Commonwealth of Puer- to Rico, as well as appropriate officials of all units of government, to direct that the flag be flown at half-staff on Peace Officers Memorial Day. I further encourage all Americans to display the flag at half-staff from their homes and businesses on that day. 57

 Proc. 7902 Title 3--The President IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of May, 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 7902 of May 13, 2005 National Defense Transportation Day and National Transportation Week, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation We rely on the men and women of our transportation industry to ensure efficient, secure, and reliable travel for our citizens and to keep our econ- omy growing. On National Defense Transportation Day and during National Transportation Week, we recognize those who maintain and support our transportation system. Our transportation system is vital to our national security. It is used to de- ploy troops around the world and to deliver crucial equipment and sup- plies in the field. Each day Americans also rely on our transportation sys- tem to reach their travel destinations and to transport billions of tons of freight across our country. My Administration has taken important steps to protect our Nation's bridges, tunnels, highways, waterways, rail lines, pipe- lines, and airports to help keep our citizens safe and our economy running smoothly. Transportation professionals keep our country moving and support our citi- zens as they conduct business, tour our great Nation, and reunite with fam- ily and friends. The strong work ethic and professionalism of transportation employees help increase efficiency and production across our Nation and advance American prosperity. Their efforts reflect the values that make our country strong and help ensure that our transportation infrastructure will continue to benefit Americans for generations to come. To recognize the men and women who work in the transportation industry and who contribute to our Nation's well-being and defense, the Congress, by joint resolution approved May 16, 1957, as amended (36 U.S.C. 120), has designated the third Friday in May each year as "National Defense Transportation Day," and, by joint resolution approved May 14, 1962, as amended (36 U.S.C. 133), declared that the week during which that Friday falls be designated as "National Transportation Week." NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Friday, May 20, 2005, as National Defense Transportation Day and May 15 through May 21, 2005, as National Trans- portation Week. I encourage all Americans to learn how our modern trans- portation system contributes to the security of our citizens and the pros- perity of our country and to celebrate these obselwances with appropriate ceremonies and activities. 58

 Proclamations Proc. 7903 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of May, 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 7903 of May 19, 2005 National Safe Boating Week, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Recreational boating has grown into one of our Nation's most popular pas- times, and as the summer approaches, millions of Americans will enjoy our country's beautiful waters. During National Safe Boating Week, we high- light our Nation's commitment to making recreational boating safer. The number of boating fatalities has decreased over the last decade. By pro- moting the use of appropriate safety measures, we can save more lives and further reduce the number of injuries caused by boating accidents. The U.S. Coast Guard and others recommend four guidelines for safe boating: wear properly fitted life jackets; get vessels checked for safety; never boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs; and get proper training about the safe op- eration of boats. By adhering to these simple suggestions, boaters can keep themselves and others safe as they enjoy our Nation's waterways. In recognition of the importance of safe boating practices, the Congress, by joint resolution approved June 4, 1958 (36 U.S.C. 131), as amended, has au- thorized and requested the President to proclaim annually the 7-day period prior to Memorial Day weekend as "National Safe Boating Week." NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 21 through May 27, 2005, as National Safe Boating Week. I encourage the Governors of the 50 States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, to join in observing this week. I also urge all Americans to learn more about safe boating practices, wear life jackets, take advantage of boating safety programs throughout the year, and always engage in proper and responsible conduct while on the water. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of May, 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. 7904 Title 3--The President Proclamation 7904 of May 19, 2005 National Maritime Day, 2005 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation America's merchant mariners make our Nation more secure and our econ- omy stronger. Throughout our history, they have promoted commerce and protected our freedom. On National Maritime Day, we honor the dedicated service of the United States Merchant Marine. Each year, the men and women of the U.S. maritime transportation system move more than 2 billion tons of cargo along our waterways and across the open seas. Many of the raw materials Americans purchase are transported by merchant vessels, and merchant mariners ship agricultural products and finished goods in and out of the United States every day. Merchant mariners have also served in every conflict in our Nation's his- tory. The U.S. Merchant Marine helps provide our Nation's Armed Forces with crucial supplies and equipment. These brave men and women dem- onstrate courage, love of country, and devotion to duty, and we especially honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our Nation. The United States is safer and the world is more peaceful because of the work of our merchant mariners, and we are grateful for their service. In recognition of the importance of the U.S. Merchant Marine, the Con- gress, by joint resolution approved on May 20, 1\36533, as amended, has des- ignated May 22 of each year as "National Maritime Day," and has author- ized and requested that the President issue an annual proclamation calling for its appropriate observance. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 22, 2005, as National Maritime Day. I call upon the people of the United States to celebrate this observance and to display the flag of the United States at their homes and in their commu- nities. I also request that all ships sailing under the American flag dress ship on that day.

 Proclamations Proc. 7905 our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen answered the call of duty and made the ultimate sacrifice for the security of our country and the peace of the world. Throughout our Nation's history, members of the Armed Forces have taken great risks to keep America strong and free. These proud patriots have de- fended the innocent, freed the oppressed, and helped spread the promise of liberty to all corners of the earth. In serving our Nation, they have been unrelenting in battle, unwavering in loyalty, and unmatched in decency. Because of their selfless courage, millions of people who once lived under tyranny now are free, and America is more secure. On Memorial Day, we remember that this history of great achievement has been accompanied by great sacrifice. To secure our freedom, many heroic service members have given their lives. This year we mark the 60th anni- versary of the end of World War II, and we remember the Americans who died on distant shores defending our Nation in that war. On Memorial Day and all year long, we pray for the families of the fallen and show our re- spect for the contributions these men and women have made to the story of freedom. Our grateful Nation honors their selfless service, and we ac- knowledge a debt that is beyond our power to repay. In respect for their devotion to America, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved on May 11, 1950, as amended (64 Stat. 158), has requested the President to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe each Memorial Day as a day of prayer for permanent peace and designating a period on that day when the people of the United States might unite in prayer. The Congress, by Public Law 106-579, has also des- ignated the minute beginning at 3:00 p.m. local time on that day as a time for all Americans to observe the National Moment of Remembrance. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Memorial Day, May 30, 2005, as a day of prayer for permanent peace, and I designate the hour beginning in each lo- cality at 11:00 a.m. of that day as a time to unite in prayer. I also ask all Americans to observe the National Moment of Remembrance beginning at 3:00 p.m. local time on Memorial Day. I urge the media to participate in these observances. I also request the Governors of the United States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the appropriate officials of all units of government, to direct that the flag be flown at half-staff until noon on this Memorial Day on all buildings, grounds, and naval vessels throughout the United States, and in all areas under its jurisdiction and control. I also request the people of the United States to display the flag at half-staff from their homes for the customary forenoon period. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of May, 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. 7906 Title 3--The President Proclamation 7906 of May 25, 2005 National Homeownership Month, 2005 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation For millions of individuals and families, the American Dream starts with owning a home. When families move into a home of their own, they gain independence and confidence, and their faith in the future grows. The spread of ownership and opportunity helps give our citizens a vital stake in the future of America and the chance to realize the great promise of our country. From the earliest days of our Nation, homeownership has embodied the core American values of individual freedom, personal responsibility, and self-reliance. A home provides children with a safe environment in which to grow and learn. A home is also a tangible asset that provides owners with borrowing power and allows our citizens to build wealth that they can pass on to their children and grandchildren. The benefits of homeownership extend to our communities. Families who own their own homes have a strong interest in maintaining the value of their investments, the safety of their neighborhoods, and the quality of their schools. Homeownership is also a bedrock of the American economy, help- ing to increase lobs, boost demand for goods and services, and build pros- perity. More Americans than ever own their own homes, but we must continue to work hard so that every family has an opportunity to realize the Amer- ican Dream. In 2002, I announced a goal to add 5.5 million new minority homeowners by the end of the decade. Since then, we have added 2.3 mil- lion new minority households. My Administration has also set a goal of adding 7 million new affordable homes to the market within the next 10 years. In my FY 2006 budget, I proposed a single family housing tax credit and two mortgage programs--the Zero Downpayment mortgage and the Payment Incentives program--to help more families achieve homeowner- ship. In 2003, I signed the American Dream Downpayment Act, and I have proposed more than $200 million to continue the American Dream Down- payment Initiative to provide downpayment assistance to thousands of American families. By promoting initiatives such as financial literacy, tax incentives for building affordable homes, voucher programs, and Individual Development Accounts, we are strengthening our communities and improv- ing citizens' lives. 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 ]une 2005 as National Home- ownership Month. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies and activities recognizing the im- portance of homeownership. 62

 Proclamations Proc. 7907 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of May, 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 7907 of June 1, 2005 Black Music Month, 2005 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation During Black Music Month, we pay tribute to a rich musical tradition and honor the many contributions African-American musicians, singers, and composers have made to the culture of our Nation and to the world. This powerful, moving, and soulful music speaks to every heart, lifting us in times of sorrow and helping us celebrate in times of joy. Black music's origins are found in the work songs and spirituals that bore witness to the cruelty of bondage and the strength of faith. In the strains of those songs, we hear the voice of hope in the face of injustice. From those roots, black music has grown into a diverse collection of styles, and it continues to evolve today. Black music captures a part of the American spirit and continues to have a profound impact on our country. This month is an opportunity to reflect upon the achievements of African- American artists and to look forward to the future. We remember Robert Johnson, Bessie Smith, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and countless others for their love of music and their pioneering and passionate spirit. We celebrate today's musicians who continue to build upon the rich and vital heritage of black music. 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 2005 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 first day of June, 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. 7908 Title 3--The President Proclamation 7908 of June 1, 2005 Great Outdoors Month, 2005 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation During Great Outdoors Month, we celebrate our Nation's natural heritage, reaffirm our commitment to conserve our environment, and recognize the many volunteers who help maintain our natural spaces. Americans are blessed by our country's expansive landscapes, diverse wildlife, and beautiful public lands. Outdoor recreation provides an oppor- tunity to enjoy the splendor of our Nation's remarkable natural treasures and reminds us of our responsibility to be good stewards of the environ- ment. Across our great Nation, Americans are taking that responsibility seriously and volunteering to help keep our natural areas beautiful for future genera- tions. I commend these citizens for helping to protect our public lands, and I encourage all Americans to do their part. The Department of the Interior's Take Pride in America website and the USA Freedom Corps website offer examples of ways to participate in environmental stewardship proiects. We have an obligation to protect the Earth, and my Administration is pur- suing responsible initiatives to make our air cleaner, our water purer, and our land better protected. In doing so, we are demonstrating the important principle that environmental protection and economic prosperity are both vital parts of being good stewards in the land we call home. Through these and other efforts, we will continue to build a cleaner, safer, and healthier environment 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 ]une 2005 as Great Outdoors Month. I call on all Americans to observe this month with appropriate pro- grams and activities and to enioy safe outdoor recreational activities.

 Proclamations Proc. 7910 values that sustain a free society. By spending time with a young person, adults can help our Nation's youth to make the right choices. On National Child's Day, we underscore our commitment to supporting children and to helping them realize a bright and hopeful future. Family is the most important influence in a child's life. Parents are teach- ers, disciplinarians, advisors, and role models. By providing hope and sta- bility, parents help children to understand the consequences of their ac- tions and to recognize that the decisions they make today can affect the rest of their lives. Through initiatives that promote healthy marriages, respon- sible fatherhood, and adoption and foster care programs, my Administra- tion is helping to ensure that more young people have a foundation of love and support. Teachers also make a real difference in children's lives. America's edu- cators help our students build character and acquire the skills and knowl- edge they need to succeed as adults. My Administration is insisting upon accountability in our public schools. We want every child to have an op- portunity to realize the great promise of our country. By mentoting children and helping them to achieve their dreams, Ameri- cans can fill their own lives with greater purpose and help make our coun- try a better place. Our children benefit from a sense of community, and each of us has the power to make a difference in a child's life. I have intro- duced the Helping America's Youth initiative, led by First Lady Laura Bush, so that every child can grow up with a caring adult in his or her life--whether that adult is a parent, a teacher, a coach, or a mentor. I en- courage all Americans to volunteer their time and talents to benefit our Na- tion's youth. 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 5, 2005, as National Child's Day, and I call upon citizens to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I also urge all Americans to dedicate their time and talents toward helping our Nation's young people so that all children may reach as far as their vision and character can take them.

 Proc. 7910 Title 3--The President and throughout National Flag Week, we celebrate the proud legacy of Old Glory and reflect on this enduring symbol of freedom. On June 14, \177777, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution stating that "the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field." As States have been added to the Union, the flag has been modified to reflect their addition to our Nation. Today, the appearance of our flag is based on Presi- dent Eisenhower's Executive Order of August 2% 1959, to include a star for all 50 States together with \1773 stripes representing the original \1773 Amer- ican colonies. Generations of Americans in uniform have carried the Stars and Stripes into battle so that our citizens can live in freedom. Across the globe, a new generation of Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen has stepped forward to serve under our flag, defending America from our en- emies. We are grateful to them and their families for defending our flag and the values of our great Nation. On this Flag Day, we recall the rich history of Old Glory, and we remember our duty to carry our heritage of freedom into the future. To commemorate the adoption of our flag, the Congress, by ioint 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 ioint resolution approved June 9, \177966, as amended (80 Stat. \17794), that the President issue annually a proclamation designating the week in which June \1774 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, 2005, as Flag Day and the week beginning June \1772, 2005, 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 places. I also call upon the people of the United States to observe with pride and all due ceremony those days from Flag Day through Independ- ence Day, also set aside by the Congress (89 Stat. 2\177), as a time to honor America, to celebrate our heritage in public gatherings and activities, and to publicly recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of June, 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.

 Proclamations Proc. 7911 Proclamation 7911 of June 16, 2005 Father's Day, 2005 By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation Being a father is a great responsibility and a great joy. From the moment their children are born, fathers face the daily tasks of being mentors, pro- tectors, providers, and friends. Fathers take great pride in watching their children take their first steps, learn to read, and attend their first day of school. On Father's Day, our Nation honors fathers across America, and we express our deep gratitude for their selfless love and sacrifices. Caring, decent, and hardworking fathers give much of themselves. By offer- ing unconditional love and providing guidance and discipline, a father is a source of stability and one of the most important influences on his chil- dren. A father's example helps shape the character and values that his chil- dren will carry with them into adulthood, and the lessons he teaches re- main with them for a lifetime. By encouraging his sons and daughters to set high standards, work hard, and make good decisions, a father shows his children that they can meet life's challenges and be good citizens. Responsible fatherhood is essential to a compassionate society in which all children are surrounded by love and taught the importance of respect, hon- esty, and integrity. My Administration commends all those who are work- ing to strengthen the bonds between fathers and their children. On Father's Day and all year long, we honor our Nation's fathers and ex- press our love and appreciation for them. We also honor the many proud fathers who are serving our country on the front lines of freedom. We are grateful for their service and sacrifice, and we pray for them and their fami- lies. These men have answered a great call, and they set an example of duty and honor for all Americans. 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, 1972, as amended (36 U.S.C. 109), do hereby proclaim June \1779, 2005, as Father's Day. 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 observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of June, 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. 7912 Title 3--The President Proclamation 7912 of }une 29, 2005 To Modify Duty-Free Treatment Under the Generalized System of Preferences and Certain Rules of Ori\365in Under the North American Free Trade A\365reement, and for Other Purposes By the President of the United States o/America A Proclamation 1. Pursuant to section 502(a)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (the "1974 Act") (19 U.S.C. 2462(a)(1)), the President is authorized to designate countries as beneficiary developing countries for purposes of the General- ized System of Preferences (GSP). 2. In Proclamation 6425 of April 29, 1992, the President suspended duty- free treatment for certain eligible articles imported from India after consid- ering the factors set forth in sections 501 and 502(c) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2461, 2462(c)), in particular section 502(c)(5) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2462(c)(5)) on the extent to which India provides adequate and ef- fective protection of intellectual property rights. 3. In Proclamation 6942 of October 17, 1996, the President suspended duty- free treatment for certain eligible articles imported from Pakistan because of insufficient progress on affording workers in that country internationally recognized worker rights. 4. Pursuant to sections 501 and 503(a)(1)(A) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(a)(1)(A)), the President may designate articles as eligible for pref- erential tariff treatment under the GSP. 5. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(A) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(A)), beneficiary developing countries, except those designated as least-developed beneficiary developing countries or beneficiary sub-Saha- ran African countries as provided in section 503(c)(2)(D) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(D)), are subiect to competitive need limitations on the preferential treatment afforded under the GSP to eligible articles. 6. Section 503(c)(2)(C) of the 1974 Act (19 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 1974 Act during the preceding calendar year. 7. Section 503(c)(2)(F)(i) of the 1974 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) (19 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) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(c)(2)(F)(ii)). 8. Pursuant to section 503(d)(1) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(d)(1)) and after giving great weight to the considerations in section 503(d)(2) of the 68

 Proclamations Proc. 7912 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(d)(2)), the President may, subject to the limita- tions set out in section 503(d)(4) (19 U.S.C. 2463(d)(4)), waive the applica- tion of the competitive need limitations in section 503(c)(2)(A) of the 1974 Act with respect to any eligible article from any beneficiary developing country, if after receiving advice from the United States International Trade Commission (USITC), he determines that such waiver is in the national economic interest of the United States. 9. Section 507(2) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2467(2)) provides that in the case of an association of countries that is a free trade area or customs union, or that is contributing to a comprehensive regional economic inte- gration among its members through appropriate means, the President may provide that all members of such association other than members that are barred from designation under section 502(b) of the 1974 Act (\1779 U.S.C. 2462(b)) shall be treated as one country for purposes of the GSP. 10. Pursuant to section 502 of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2462) and taking into account the factors set forth in section 502(c) of the 1974 Act, I have decided to designate Serbia and Montenegro as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of the GSP. \177. After a review of the current situation in India and taking into account the factors set out in section 502 of the 1974 Act, in particular section 502(c)(5), I have determined that India has made progress in providing ade- quate and effective protection of intellectual property rights. Accordingly, I have determined to terminate the suspension of India's duty-free treat- ment for certain articles under the GSP. \1772. After a review of the current situation in Pakistan, I have determined that Pakistan has taken or is taking steps to afford workers in that country internationally recognized worker rights as provided in section 502(c)(7) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2462(c)(7)). Accordingly, I have determined to re- store Pakistan's eligibility for certain articles for preferential treatment under the GSP. 13. Pursuant to sections 501 and 503(a)(1)(A) of the 1974 Act, and after re- ceiving advice from the USITC in accordance with section 503(e) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(e)), I have determined to designate certain arti- cles, some of which were previously designated under section 503(a)(1)(t\177) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2463(a)(1)(t\177)), as eligible articles. In order to do so for certain articles, it is necessary to subdivide and amend the nomen- clature of certain existing subheadings of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS). 14. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(A) of the 1974 Act, I have determined that certain beneficiary countries have exported certain eligible articles in quan- tities exceeding the applicable competitive need limitation in 2004, and I therefore terminate the duty-free treatment for such articles from such ben- eficiary developing countries. 15. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(C) of the 1974 Act, and subiect to the con- siderations set forth in sections 50\177 and 502 of the \177974 Act, I 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 1974 Act. 16. Pursuant to section 503(c)(2)(F)(i) of the 1974 Act, I have determined that the competitive need limitation provided in section 503(c)(2)(A)(i)(II) 69

 Proc. 7912 Title 3--The President of the 1974 Act should be disregarded with respect to certain eligible arti- cles from certain beneficiary developing countries. 17. Pursuant to section 503(d)(1) of the 1974 Act, I have received the ad- vice of the USITC on whether any industries in the United States are likely to be adversely affected by such waivers, and I have determined, based on that advice and on the considerations described in sections 501 and 502(c) of the 1974 Act, and after giving great weight to the considerations in sec- tion 503(d)(2) of the 1974 Act, that such waivers are in the national eco- nomic interest of the United States. Accordingly, I have determined that the competitive need limitations of section 503(c)(2)(A) should be waived with respect to certain eligible articles from certain beneficiary developing countries. 18. Pursuant to section 507(2) of the 1974 Act, I have determined that cur- rently qualifying members of the South Asian Association for Regional Co- operation (SAARC) should be treated as one country for purposes of the GSP. 19. Presidential Proclamation 6641 of December 15, 1993, implemented the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with respect to the United States and, pursuant to the North American Free Trade Agreement Imple- mentation Act (Public Law 103-182) (the "NAFTA Implementation Act") incorporated in the HTS the tariff modifications and rules of origin nec- essary or appropriate to carry out the NAFTA. 20. Section 202 of the NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 3332) pro- vides rules for determining whether goods imported into the United States originate in the territory of a NAFTA Party and thus are eligible for the tar- iff and other treatment contemplated under the NAFTA. Section 202(q) of the NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 3332(q)) authorizes the Presi- dent to proclaim, as a part of the HTS, the rules of origin set out in the NAFTA and to proclaim modifications to such previously proclaimed rules of origin, subject to the consultation and layover requirements of section 103(a) of the NAFTA Implementation Act (19 U.S.C. 3313(a)). 21. The United States and Canada have agreed to modifications to certain NAFTA rules of origin. Modifications to the NAFTA rules of origin set out in Proclamation 6641 are therefore necessary. 22. Section 1558 of the Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Corrections Act of 2004 (Public Law 108-429) (the "Miscellaneous Trade Act") amended section 213(b) of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (CBERA) (19 U.S.C. 2703(b)) to exclude certain footwear from duty-free treatment under the CBERA and to provide duty-free treatment for certain other footwear that is the product of a designated beneficiary Caribbean Basin Trade Part- nership Act country. 23. In order to implement the tariff treatment provided under section 1558 of the Miscellaneous Trade Act, it is necessary to modify the HTS. 24. Section 7(c) of the AGOA Acceleration Act of 2004 (Public Law 108- 274) (the "AGOA Acceleration Act") amended section 112(b)(6) of the of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (title I of Public Law 106-200) (AGOA) (19 U.S.C. 3721(b)(6)) by adding ethnic printed fabrics to the list of textile and apparel goods of beneficiary sub-Saharan African countries that may be eligible for the preferential treatment described in section 112(a) of the AGOA (19 U.S.C. 3721(a)). 70
