The success of minority <br />E' business enterprise demonstrates that hard work and individual determination <br />can serve as a powerful engine for social mobility and economic progress. <br />sq As a Nation, we are indebted to minority entrepreneurs for their contributions <br />icy to our economic well-being. They bring innovative products and services to <br />the marketplace, create jobs, and provide training to thousands of workers. <br />Our challenge today is to enhance the ability of minority Americans to <br />participate more fully in the market economy and to achieve greater economic <br />independence. <br />In my December 17,1982, statement, I promised to designate the first full week <br />in October each year to honor the many valuable contributions minority <br />erbusinessmen and businesswomen make to our society. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, L RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of <br />+e� America, do hereby proclaim the week of October 2 through October 8, 1983, <br />,� as Minority Enterprise Development Week, and I call upon all Americans to <br />join together with minority business enterprises across the country in appro- <br />priate observances. <br />IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 11th day of <br />e� August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the <br />Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. <br />E� <br />:1 <br />01 <br />p <br />CI Q <br />2� <br />ul <br />6i <br />
