SMALL BUSINESS WEEK, 1986
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
The business of America begins with small business --
millions of men and women, bold and imaginative self-starters,
seizing opportunities and providing the jobs that help to
ensure that our Nation will remain economically strong and
free.
The flexibility of small business people is exemplified
by their willingness to adapt to change, their determination
to test untapped markets for new products and services, and
their ability to contribute to the competitive marketplace in
such a way as to improve efficiency, thus benefitting the
consumer and spurring economic growth. Nothing characterizes
the American economy better than our 14 million small
businesses. They should be a source of pride for all
Americans.
It is especially gratifying that in recent years greater
numbers of young Americans are preparing for careers in
independent business. Their innovative entrepreneurial spirit
has brought a new excitement to the campus and to the market-
place. All Americans can take hope from their optimism, their
creativity, and their impressive achievements.
This year, thousands of business owners will express
their views at state preparatory sessions for the White House
Conference on Small Business -- an example of participatory
democracy at its best. The recommendations prepared by the
delegates to the National White House Conference in August
will help us in formulating a small business agenda designed
to make sure that our economy continues to grow and to
prosper. All Americans benefit when small business is the
force behind a vigorous and expanding economy.
2
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the
United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of
May 18 through May 24, 1986, as Small Business Week and ask
that all Americans join with me in saluting our small business
men and women by observing that week with appropriate
activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
day of

nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of
the United States of America the two hundred and tenth.

HUGO LAFAYETTE BLACK DAY, 1986
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
February 27, 1986 marks the one hundredth anniversary of
the birth of Hugo Lafayette Black, one of the most respected
and influential Justices to serve on the Supreme Court in this
century.
Hugo Black's tenure on the Supreme Court lasted for
34 years, from 1937 to 1971, from the days in which America
was struggling to free itself from the effects of the
Depression, through World War II and its aftermath, and
through the turbulent decade of the 1960s. At the time of his
appointment to the Court, Hugo Black was serving as a Senator
from Alabama. Although he had once been a member of the Ku
Klux Klan, and although he was bitterly attacked in the press
during the confirmation process, on the bench Justice Black
became one of the strongest defenders of racial equality and
freedom of the press.
Justice Black was a strong believer in a written
Constitution, as an instrument to assure control of the
government by the people, by virtue of restraints specifically
embodied in the document to limit governmental power and
protect minorities of whatever race, creed, or ideological
persuasion. He once called the Constitution his "legal
bible." He cherished every word of it, he said, because it is
our surest guarantee that this Nation will endure "strong and
great through countless ages."
Throughout his tenure, Justice Black fought to maintain
the vital principle of separation of powers. He strongly
resisted what he regarded as unauthorized efforts of judges to
supersede the judgment of the elected representatives of the
people and to substitute their own views of appropriate social
and economic policy.
2
This proud Son of the South played a leading role in the
Supreme Court's effort to eliminate racial segregation from
our society and ensure equal rights for all persons.
Justice Black's long and distinguished career also was
marked by his commitment to the Bill of Rights, including most
notably a strong belief in freedom of speech, and the
importance of a free press to the governance of a democracy.
He also was a strong believer in unhindered access to the
political process for all persons and to the core procedural
protections afforded by the Constitution.
Hugo Black's formal accomplishments as Senator and
Justice and his contributions to American jurisprudence cannot
overshadow his warmth as a human being, the intimate collegial
relationships he developed with colleagues, and remarkable
gift for friendship that helped the Supreme Court function
effectively through some of the most turbulent episodes in its
history.
In order to honor Hugo Lafayette Black as a defender of
freedom and dedicated public servant, the Congress of the
United States, by Senate Joint Resolution 59, has designated
February 27, 1986 as "Hugo Lafayette Black Day" and authorized
and requested the President to issue a proclamation in
observance of the one hundredth anniversary of his birth.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the
United States of America, do hereby proclaim February 27, 1986
as Hugo Lafayette Black Day, and I call upon the people of the
United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies
and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of
the United States of America the two hundred and tenth.

RED CROSS MONTH, 1986
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
In cities, towns, and rural communities across our
Nation, Americans have turned time and again to the American
Red Cross for help. And they have not been disappointed.
Acting as a conduit for the generous outpouring of time,
money, and voluntarily donated blood, the Red Cross has been
there whenever needed throughout the past year.
During 1985, an unprecedented series of violent storms,
including hurricanes and tornadoes, smashed across our Nation,
and the Red Cross responded by providing immediate emergency
assistance to more than four million Americans displaced by
these storms. In small towns and large cities, Red Cross
responded on more than 60,000 occasions to Americans in need,
and to families whose homes were damaged or destroyed by fire,
flood, and storm. Due to the unprecedented demand for
assistance to disaster victims here in our Nation, the funds
available to Red Cross for such vital work have been totally
depleted, and yet that magnificent organization continues to
provide emergency assistance to individuals and families in
need all across America.
The Red Cross also played an active role in the harrowing
drama of the American travelers hijacked in Beirut, relaying
messages from the prisoners to families back home and insuring
their safe conduct out of Lebanon. The Red Cross quickly and
efficiently mobilized support for the victims of the terrible
Mexico City earthquake and the Colombian volcano eruption,
while continuing the vital work of feeding and providing
medical care for millions of victims of drought and famine in
Africa.
As the collector, processor, and distributor of more than

For Immediate Release
RED CROSS MONTH, 1986
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
In cities, towns, and rural communities across our
Nation, Americans have turned time and again to the American
Red Cross for help. And they have not been disappointed.
Acting as a conduit for the generous outpouring of time,
money, and voluntarily donated blood, the Red Cross has been
there whenever needed throughout the past year.
During 1985, an unprecedented series of violent storms,
including hurricanes and tornadoes, smashed across our Nation,
and the Red Cross responded by providing immediate emergency
assistance to more than four million Americans displaced by
these storms. In small towns and large cities, Red Cross
responded on more than 60,000 occasions to Americans in need,
and to families whose homes were damaged or destroyed by fire,
flood, and storm. Due to the unprecedented demand for
assistance to disaster victims here in our Nation, the funds
available to Red Cross for such vital work have been totally
depleted, and yet that magnificent organization continues to
provide emergency assistance to individuals and families in
need all across America.
The Red Cross also played an active role in the harrowing
drama of the American travelers hijacked in Beirut, relaying
messages from the prisoners to families back home and insuring
their safe conduct out of Lebanon. The Red Cross quickly and
efficiently mobilized support for the victims of the terrible
Mexico City earthquake and the Colombian volcano eruption,
while continuing the vital work of feeding and providing
medical care for millions of victims of drought and famine in
Africa.
As the collector, processor, and distributor of more than
half of the Nation's voluntarily donated blood, the Red Cross
took the lead in implementing HTLV-III antibody testing,
adding significantly to the effectiveness of recruitment and
screening practices already in effect that protect more than
one-and-a-half-million recipients of blood and blood products
from exposure to the deadly AIDS virus.
All of this was accomplished without Red Cross cutting
back on any of its continuing heavy responsibilities.
Millions of our fellow citizens were taught lifesaving
techniques in CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation), first
aid, water safety, and small craft operation. More than
half-a-million emergency messages were relayed worldwide
