THE OF OF STATES the UNITED
SEEL
National DECA Week, 1985
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
The value of the free enterprise system in America is confirmed when the
products of our research, our industry, and our agriculture improve the quality
of people's lives not only in America, but throughout the world. And the
genius of American business has been to make the wealth of its factories and
farms accessible to all.
For thirty-eight years, the Distributive Education Clubs of America have
introduced high school and college students to the challenges, skills, and
responsibilities of delivering the products of our free enterprise system to
those who use them. Now numbering some 150,000 members in all 50 States,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, the Distributive Education Clubs of
America are helping to prepare a cadre of professionals with the spirit of
enterprise, the civic responsibility, and the complex skills needed to assure
that America's strength in marketing keeps pace with the vast expansion of
technology and the increasingly sophisticated needs of people in all parts of
the world.
To give special recognition to the valuable contribution the Distributive
Education Clubs of America are making to maintaining our Nation's economic
strength and to introducing young Americans to the opportunities and rewards
of free enterprise, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 36, has designated
the week of February 10, 1985, through February 16, 1985, as "National DECA
Week" and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in
observance of that week.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of
America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning February 10 through Febru-
ary 16, 1985, as National DECA Week, and I call upon all government
agencies, interested organizations, community groups, and the people of the
United States to observe this week with appropriate programs, ceremonies,
and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of
February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-five, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and ninth.
Ronald Reagon
