OF THE UNITED THE OF
National Employ the Handicapped Week,
1981
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Communities across the land have formed partnerships-between disabled
and non-disabled, labor and industry, employers and employees-to assure
that disabled people might share fully in the American dream. There is a real
need for such partnerships, and for these ties to continue and expand.
Employers throughout the country are opening their doors to qualified dis-
abled workers. This is happening not just because of existing laws, but
because disabled men and women have been establishing such fine work
records. Yet not all employers have opened their doors equally wide. We must
therefore continue our efforts to find more and better jobs for people with
disabilities.
Gains have also been made in education, training, housing, transportation and
accessibility. We need to make the 1980s years in which disabled individuals
achieve the greatest possible access to our society, maximum independence,
and full opportunity to develop and use their capabilities.
The Congress, by joint resolution of August 11, 1945, as amended (36 U.S.C.
155), has called for the designation of the first full week in October each year
as National Employ the Handicapped Week. Recognition of this special week
presents the opportunity to dedicate ourselves to meeting the goal of expand-
ed opportunity for disabled Americans.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of
America, do hereby designate the week beginning October 4, 1981, as National
Employ the Handicapped Week. I urge all Governors, Mayors, other public
officials, leaders in business and labor, and private citizens to help meet the
challenge of the future in which all disabled Americans will participate fully
in our country's many opportunities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of
October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-one, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixth.
Ronald Reagan
