or THE UNITED THE STATES. OF
Minority Enterprise Development Week,
1987
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Each year, we set aside a special week to salute the many contributions of
minority business men and women to our Nation's economic well-being and to
celebrate the free market that makes these contributions possible. Our observ-
ance of Minority Enterprise Development Week this year, during the Bicenten-
nial of the Constitution, summons us to reflect on the debt every business man
and woman-and each of us-owes to the fundamental principles of freedom
and justice guaranteed by this great charter.
By creating a limited form of government, our Constitution protects the
inalienable rights of all Americans and ensures equal opportunity for all. Our
free market economy springs from these principles. The equality of opportuni-
ty it creates makes our Nation prosperous, expands our technological prowess,
and keeps our country economically competitive. The more than 840,000
minority American entrepreneurs exemplify the success our economic freedom
offers. These energetic business men and women inspire all Americans as
they create jobs, bring new products and services to the marketplace, and
enhance our quality of life.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the
laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of October 4 through
October 10, 1987, as Minority Enterprise Development Week. I call upon all
Americans to join together with minority business enterprises across our
country in appropriate observances.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day
of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-seven, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.
Ronald Reagan
