Minority Enterprise Development Week, 1984
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
America's growth and prosperity depend on the full participation of all its
citizens. If we as a Nation are to remain the world's leader in innovation,
technology and productivity, we must ensure that all Americans are involved
in our economic progress.
The fulfillment of this challenge has become more realistic today, because of
the significant contributions of minority American entrepreneurs to our econ-
omy. The Nation's 600,000 minority-owned businesses reveal the true meaning
of entrepreneurship. They have emerged as a dynamic force in the market-
place, bringing innovative products and services to our economy, and consti-
tuting the principal source for jobs and training for thousands of American
workers.
As we enter an era of greatly expanded opportunities in economic growth and
development, it is appropriate that we encourage minority business owners by
recognizing their tremendous contributions toward the continued economic
development of our Nation.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of
America, do hereby proclaim the week of October 7 through October 13, 1984,
as Minority Enterprise Development Week, and I urge all Americans to join
together with the minority business enterprises of our Nation in appropriate
observances.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of
June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-four, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.
Ronald Reagon
