CC: Ron Geisler 1985 APR -3 FM 3: 03 NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION There is no more important test of a society than how it treats its children. Children are not only a joy to the parents who raise them; they also represent a society's future. It is imperative for American society to protect its children and nurture them. More and more Americans are turning once again to strong and loving families as the best way to provide a nurturing environment for children. This is as it should be, but there are still many indications that we must do more to protect our children and show that we love each and every one of them. One of the most disturbing of these indications is the fact that more than 1.5 million children will be reported to local child protective agencies this year as suspected victims of child abuse or neglect. As a direct result of their maltreatment, many of these children will suffer dimin- ished opportunity to develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially, or to become fully contributing citizens. Their loss is our Nation's loss. In the past decade, our knowledge of how to prevent and treat child abuse has grown substantially. The most important thing we have learned is that the active involvement of neighbors and friends -- indeed of everyone in a community -- is the key to success. Community child protection agencies cannot do the job alone but must rely on neighbors, friends, teachers, relatives, doctors, and volunteers to provide critical support, infor- mation, and guidance to families in which child maltreatment may occur. 2 Beyond these efforts, we should all consider every day the kind of society we want to create. Problems such as child pornography, violence on television, teenage suicide, missing children, and child abuse are all related to the strength or weakness of our society's values. We should resolve to strengthen the fundamental values of family and community on which our Nation was founded and which can alone provide it with a good future for all our children. In recognition of our shared responsibility to reduce the occurrence of child abuse and neglect, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 121, has designated the month of April 1985 as "National Child Abuse Prevention Month," and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this period. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of April 1985 as National Child Abuse Prevention Month. As we observe this time, let us all consider the wholesome and secure development of our children on whom we depend to advance our national character and values. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this day of , 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. NATIONAL CHILD ABUSE PREVENTION MONTH - BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION This year, more than 1.5 million children will bé reported to local child protective services agencies as suspected victims of child abuse or neglect. As a direct result of their maltreatment, many of these children will suffer diminished opportunity to develop physically, intellectually, emotionally and socially, or to become fully contributing citizens. Their loss is the Nation's loss. In the past decade, our knowledge of the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect has grown substantially. We know that the efforts of individuals--neighbors, friends, teachers, relatives, doctors, and volunteers-- may augment the efforts of community child protection agencies to provide critical support, information and guidance to stressed families in which child maltreatment may occur. In recognition of our shared responsibility to reduce the occurrence of child abuse and neglect, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 121, has designated the month of April 1985 as "National Child Abuse Prevention Month," and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this period.

This year's Law Day theme, "Liberty and Justice for All," reaffirms the principles upon which our Republic was founded. The guarantee of liberty and the right to seek justice emerged through law: through the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. As Americans, we continue to preserve these prin- ciples through our lawmaking and judicial systems. Each time we recite the Pledge of Allegiance, we renew our commitment to providing the benefits of liberty and the reality of justice for all. These principles have served and continue to serve as an inspiration to everyone in this great Nation, because they represent a promise, an ideal and an opportunity. It is the promise of liberty and justice for all that has brought millions of immigrants to American shores. It is the ideal of liberty and justice for all that has guided our government in making and enforcing our laws. It is the opportunity for liberty and justice for all that has inspired Americans from all walks of life to participate in and give life to our unique form of government. The fact that we continue to strive to be one Nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all, is a tribute to the memory of the millions of Americans who, throughout our history, have been willing to die to secure or preserve these ideals. The great patriot Patrick Henry's impassioned plea, "Give me liberty or give me death," continues to symbolize today the fervor with which Americans treasure these freedoms. Law Day is an important opportunity for all Americans to improve their understanding and appreciation of the contribu- tion law makes to the preservation of liberty and justice. I 2 urge all Americans to join with me in reexamining and rededicating ourselves to those principles for which so many Americans have sacrificed their lives. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States, do hereby proclaim Wednesday, May 1, 1985, as Law Day U.S.A. I urge the people of the United States to use this occasion to renew their commitment to the rule of law and to reaffirm our dedication to the partnership of law and liberty. I also urge the legal profession, schools, civic, service and fraternal organizations, public bodies, libraries, the courts, the communications media, business, the clergy, and all interested individuals and organizations to join in efforts to focus attention on the need for the rule of law. I also call upon all public officials to display the flag of the United States on all government buildings open on Law Day, May 1, 1985. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this day of , 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.

CC: Ron Geisler 1985 APR -1; PH 2: 24 LOYALTY DAY, 1985 BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION Providence has favored our land, with its abundant resources and industrious people, and the years of adversity in our history have been few. Yet even during the dark hours, the times of conflict or economic hardship, Americans have demonstrated their unwavering devotion to the noble ideals upon which this country was founded. Our faith in the principles of freedom, justice, and opportunity has sustained us. We have prevailed over every challenge and our success shines as a beacon of hope for the world, an enduring reminder that adherence to the fundamental values of liberty will overcome any obstacle. Today these values are enjoying renewed allegiance in America and elsewhere; the advantages of our democratic way of life are winning the United States new admiration and respect around the world. Americans' loyalty to their Nation is especially inspiring because it is freely given by a free people. Nations that seek to compel the love or fidelity of their citizens without tolerance for their unalienable rights are inherently unstable and frequently dangerous to others. Now that the windows of communication and commerce are bringing nations into increasingly close relationships, the truths our forefathers found self-evident are becoming apparent to all: the future belongs to the free -- to peoples who are free to work, to assemble, to vote, to travel and to emigrate, to print and to speak, and to worship as they choose. Today, in this time of peace and prosperity at home, it is fitting that we reflect upon the venerable ideals that symbolize the American spirit. By remaining loyal to these ideals, we will be worthy of the trust a generous God has reposed in us. For this purpose, the Congress, by joint 2 resolution approved July 18, 1958 (72 Stat. 369, 36 U.S.C. 162), has designated May 1 of each year as Loyalty Day, a day to renew our commitment to this grand republic and its democratic institutions. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 1, 1985, as Loyalty Day and call upon all Americans and patriotic, civic, and educational organizations to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies. I also call upon all government officials to display the flag of the United States on all government buildings and grounds on that day. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this day of , 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.

By way of background, the Congress selected May 1 to counterbalance Communist May Day activities. Loyalty Day proclamations have been issued annually since 1959. The proposed proclamation was prepared by the Veterans Administration and has been retyped in this office to reflect minor editorial changes and as to format. Although the observance is for May 1, the Veterans Administration recommends early issuance of the proclamation so as to achieve the widest possible distribution and provide sufficient notice to those who wish to organize ceremonies. The proposed proclamation has the approval of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.

CC: Ron Geisler 1305 APR 10 FM 4:: 35 WORLD TRADE WEEK, 1985 BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATI ON Each year, World Trade Week invites us to celebrate the many ways in which international trade strengthens our country and enriches our lives. Through exporting, American businesses find new opportunities for growth, and American workers find new oppor- tunities for employment. Trade strengthens our economy and fosters that spirit of private initiative inherited from generations of pioneers. Through contact with other societies, we receive new ideas and gain a better understanding of our traditional values. We gain the chance to put those values into practice, exporting goodwill and higher standards of living to our neighbors everywhere. And, not least, we reinforce our ties of amity and peace with other countries through strong bonds of commercial interest and mutual respect. We Americans are used to a role of responsible leadership in world affairs. It is a role we value, and it has won us the respect of other nations. During the hardest days of the recent global recession, other countries depended on our economic strength, took courage from (our confidence, and witnessed our adherence to an ideal o:f free and fair trade. Despite record trade deficits, "tronger competition for world markets, and a growing threat of protectionism abroad, the United States has resisted the terptation to adopt protectionist measures of its own -- proof of our firm belief in free trade. In this same spirit, we have called upon other countries to open their markets to all fair competition, from whatever source. 2 The world is emerging from recession. Exports to America have fueled the economic growth of our trading partners, who can now afford to buy more of our goods and services. I urge them to help us secure a healthier balance of trade and its attendant benefits to all nations. And I urge our exporters to be ready for the new opportunities that are coming. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 19, 1985, as World Trade Week, and I request all Federal, State, and local officials to cooperate in its observance. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this day of , 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.

CC: Ron Geisler 1935 MR 10 III 4: 35 NATIONAL MARITIME DAY, 1985 - - BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION The restructuring of the Nation's maritime policy and regulations to create an environment in which our shipping industry can prosper is of great importance to the United States. The enactment of the Shipping Act of 1984 was a major step toward regaining a prominent position on the world's trade routes. It diminished and streamlined outdated regulations which governed the ocean liner industry, and it will help rekindle the spirit of American maritime enterprise. American-flag liner companies are now in the forefront of developments which are providing shippers with more efficient, extensive, and innovative intermodal services. Our Merchant Marine is being bolstered by the replacement of obsolete ships with new, efficient, and highly competitive vessels. With the cooperation of seafaring labor, these new fleet additions are being operated with small crews which increase their productivity and competitiveness. These healthy trends should be encouraged. We must work to continue to develop the strong American merchant marine to serve our Nation's peacetime trade and support our Armed Forces. In recognition of the importance of the American merchant marine, the Congress, by joint resolution of May 20, 1933, designated May 22 of each year as "National Maritime Day" and authorized and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its appropriate observance. This date was chosen to commemorate the day in 1819 when the SS SAVANNAH departed Savannah, Georgia, on the first transatlantic steamship voyage. 2 NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 22, 1985, as National Maritime Day, and I urge the people of the United States to observe this day by displaying the flag of the United States at their homes and other suitable places, and I request that all ships sailing under the American flag dress ship on that day. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this day of , 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.

CC: Ron Geisler 1985 APR 15 PM 2: 06 VICTIMS OF CRIME WEEK, 1985 BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION The freedom of our Nation rests upon the liberty of our citizens to live safely in their communities. The security of our citizens depends upon the ability of our justice system to protect the law-abiding from the law-breaking. The strength of our justice system depends, in large part, upon the willingness of the innocent victims of crime to cooperate with it. Unless they participate in the judicial process, society cannot punish criminals and prevent them from committing more crimes. While we need the help of innocent victims, they in turn deserve our support. They do not ask for pity. They ask only for our support as they recover from an unexpected, unwanted, and undeserved trauma. They ask that the country move toward a system of justice which is as concerned about them and their legitimate rights as it is about those who have victimized them. They ask that the nature of the crime, and not the relationship of the victim to offender, guide the actions of the justice system. A commitment to victims is not a question of charity; it is a matter of justice. Guided by the recommendations of the President's Task Force on Victims of Crime, my Administration is striving to assure fair treatment for innocent victims. We are working with national organizations, as well as State and local agencies, to help people whose lives have been shattered through no fault of their own. The Victims of Crime Act of 1984 offers unprecedented Federal assistance to States for this purpose. We have examined in particular the plight of people assaulted by those whom they have loved and trusted. We have proposed reforms to assure them the full protection of the law. 2 We may reduce the frequency of violent crime, but we will never eliminate it. Every year millions of our fellow citizens will face it for the first time. Millions more will continue to face the daily challenge of lives forever changed by it. As citizens of a Nation promising justice for all, they must be treated with respect and compassion. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning April 14, 1985, as Victims of Crime Week. I commend those innocent victims who have turned their anguish into action to protect their fellow citizens. I urge officials at all levels of government to give special attention to the burdens crime victims face. I ask that all Americans listen and respond to the needs of crime victims, who urgently require and deserve our support.

Yet each year millions of our citizens face the reality of violent crime, and their lives have been forever changed by these acts. Many are afraid to leave their homes after dark. Others are barricaded inside with multiple locks and steel bars. The strength of our justice system depends, in large part, upon the willingness of the innocent victims of crime to cooperate with it. Unless victims participate in the judicial process, society cannot punish criminals and prevent them from committing more crimes. While we need the help of innocent victims, they in turn deserve our support. They do not ask for pity. They ask only for our support as they recover from an unexpected, unwanted, and undeserved trauma. After decades when most concern was focused on the rights of criminals, the public has recognized that the victims of criminals have rights also. Guided by the recom- mendations of the President's Task Force on Victims of Crime, my Administration is striving to ensure fair treatment for innocent victims. We are working with national organizations, as well as State and local agencies, to help people whose lives have been shattered through no fault of their own. One of the most encouraging developments in this regard was the passage of the Victims of Crime Act of 1984, which offers unprecedented assistance to States to meet some of the needs of the targets of violent behavior. We have examined in particular the plight of people who are assaulted by people 2 they know and trust, and we have proposed reforms to assure them the full protection of the law. It is the nature of the crime, not the relationship of the victim to the offender, which should guide the actions of the justice system. We may reduce the frequency of violent crime, but we will never eliminate it. Every year millions of our fellow citizens will face it for the first time, and millions more will continue to face the daily challenge of lives forever changed by it.
