National Tennis Week, 1976
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
In slightly more than a decade, the sport of tennis has been transformed from
an entertainment for relatively few to an enthusiasm of millions.
What began in England at the estate of Major Walter Clopton Wingfield in 1873
as the modern game of tennis, has now blossomed in America as the physical fitness
sport of over 20 million Americans.
Last year, Tennis Week was recognized by twenty-seven governors and fifty-four
mayors throughout our Nation.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States
of America, do hereby designate the fourth week in June, 1976, as National Tennis
Week.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day
of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and of the Inde-
pendence of the United States of America the two hundredth.
