# Proclamation 6738

Delivered on 8 October 1994.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Sound nutrition plays a vital role in ensuring that children reach their full potential physically, emotionally, and intellectually. Our commitment to the National School Lunch Program reflects the importance of nutrition in our daily lives.
As we celebrate National School Lunch Week this year, we reaffirm our concern for the health of our Nation by continuing to press forward in our comprehensive initiative requiring that school meals meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Through this initiative, we will update the standards for school meals to reflect the most recent scientific consensus calling for low fat, high fiber foods to help reduce the likelihood of such life-threatening illnesses as cancer and heart disease. We also will help to instill eating habits that promote lifelong health and well-being, and we will rededicate ourselves to delivering school meals that meet the highest possible standards for nutritional quality and appeal.
The National School Lunch Program currently operates in more than 95 percent of the Nation's public schools and serves about 25 million lunches daily. Many children receive their only nutritious meal of the day at school. These school means can increase a student's attention span and learning capability. They can improve overall health. And they can help to teach good dietary habits that will last a lifetime. These accomplishments are made possible by the joint efforts of principals, teachers, parents, Federal, State, and local officials, and especially the food service professionals working in more than 92,000 schools and residential child care institutions across the country. We commend all of these individuals for their concern and their dedication in making wholesome meals a reality for our Nation's children.
In recognition of the contributions of the National School Lunch Program to the nutritional well-being of children, the Congress, by joint resolution of October 9, 1962 (Public Law No. 87-780), has designated the week beginning the second Sunday in October of each year as "National School Lunch Week" and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that week.
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 9, 1994, as National School Lunch Week. I call upon all Americans to recognize those individuals whose efforts contribute to the success of this valuable program.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and nineteenth.
William J. Clinton

# Proclamation 6741

Delivered on 14 October 1994.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
At a time when nations around the world are embracing the blessings of democracy, human dignity, and freedom, it is fitting that Americans rededicate ourselves to protecting these rights for our own citizens.
White Cane Safety Day provides a special opportunity to reflect on the many accomplishments and contributions of Americans who are blind and visually impaired and to heighten public awareness of the symbolic strength of the white cane. For blind and visually impaired persons, the white cane represents access, opportunity, mobility, and safety. For everyone in the United States, the white cane reminds us that having a disability does not diminish one's right to take part in any aspect of society. The independence the white cane provides enables wider participation in the work force, in commerce, education, entertainment, and indeed in all aspects of the human experience.
We must remain vigilant in our efforts to ensure full access for blind and visually impaired persons and for others with disabilities. Our continuing efforts to implement fully and to enforce the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1975, and other statutes serve to guarantee access and opportunity.
As we step up to meet the challenges of an increasingly fast-paced global economy, we must strive to foster the creative potential and the active participation of each one of our citizens. Only then will we truly enjoy the intelligence, energy, and initiative of every person. From exclusion to inclusion, from dependence to independence, from paternalism to empowerment-white canes across the country are marking the path toward success for all of us.
To recognize the accomplishments of individuals who are blind and visually impaired and to acknowledge the white cane and its many contributions to our society, the Congress, by joint resolution approved October 6, 1964, designated October 15 of each year as "White Cane Safety Day."
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 15, 1994, as White Cane Safety Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities, as an expression of their support.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and nineteenth.

# Proclamation 6742

Delivered on 14 October 1994.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Country music is a distinctly American treasure, drawing on the deepest cultural roots of our Nation's people. It reflects a storytelling impulse born of mountain balladry and cowboy songs. It combines an exciting instrumental texture of string bands and jazz orchestras, a heartfelt vocal style of religious and blues singing, and a contagious rhythm that inspires dancing in listeners of all ages.
The emotions of the myriad peaks and valleys of life find a vibrant voice in country music. Relating experiences all of us share, these songs boast a long and proud tradition in our national heritage. For the better part of our history, country music's many talented singers and songwriters from across the land have touched the hearts and minds of our citizens-rural and urban, rich and poor, young and old. Today, this wonderful art form is enjoyed and celebrated around the world as a uniquely American gift.
This month, we pause to commend and to appreciate the efforts of singers, songwriters, musicians, and all those in this thriving industry who work to maintain the vitality of the country music legacy.
The Congress, by Public Law 103-107, has designated October 1994 as "Country Music Month" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this month. I urge all Americans to join me in recognizing the rich contributions that country music has made to our cultural heritage.
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 1994 as Country Music Month.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and nineteenth.

# Proclamation 6743

Delivered on 14 October 1994.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Our concern about character and ethics is one of the great strengths of our Nation. In 1994, America celebrates the continuing creation of and support for programs that, by definition, are character-building-from our proud military units and law enforcement groups to our new National Service program, AmeriCorps. As we seek to instill important values in a new generation of Americans, we must redouble our efforts to improve student learning, responsibility, and sense of belonging. We must revitalize the American ideal of community if our schools are to achieve their full potential. Adults, children, teachers-all of us must set an example. All of us can make a new beginning.
Schools need to emphasize the fundamentals: building character and creating a stronger sense of self-worth. The process of building moral values begins with the family, and we must all aid parents by demonstrating to our young people that hard work, honesty, and responsibility are essential in all of our endeavors. Passage of the "Goals 2000: Educate America Act" will, in the years ahead, give parents, teachers, and concerned citizens in every local school district the opportunity to come together to define what they want their schools to achieve for their children, not just through high academic standards, but also through setting high standards of compassion, understanding, and community involvement. New civic standards addressing the entire community, in addition to voluntary national standards, will serve as catalysts in this process, helping to better educate students to be more responsible citizens in the years to come.
To recognize the importance of character and to focus national attention on character building, the Congress, by Public Law 103-301, has designated October 16 through October 22, 1994, as "National Character Counts Week" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this commemoration.
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 16 through October 22, 1994 as National Character Counts Week. I call upon the people of the United States, government officials, educators, and volunteers, to observe this week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and nineteenth.

# Presidential Radio Address - 17 March 2001

Weekly radio address delivered on March 17, 2001.
George W. Bush: Good morning. For several months, economic indicators have pointed toward a slowdown, and now many Americans are beginning to feel its impact in your lives. The stock market is causing worries; high energy prices are straining family budgets; and some American workers and small business people have been directly affected by layoffs and slowing retail sales.
We have been hearing too much troubling economic news. It is time for the United States Congress to give Americans some good economic news: tax relief for everyone who pays income taxes.
This would be good news for families struggling to pay off debt and to save for the future. It would be good news for small businesses that need customers with money to spend. And it would be good news for our broader economy; good news for economic growth and job creation and consumer confidence.
The House of Representatives has already passed a large part of my tax relief plan. Now it is up to the Senate. It is only common sense to give our economy a boost in a slowdown. Yet tax relief is more than common sense; it is a matter of principle. My tax relief plan is also a tax reform plan. It corrects some of the worst, most unfair abuses in our current tax system. And I would be recommending these changes in any economic circumstance.
On principle, our tax code should reward hard work and overtime by men and women struggling to enter the middle class. Right now they face some of the highest marginal rates in the tax code. So we lower those rates to encourage their dreams.
On principle, our tax code should honor family. That's why we double the per-child tax credit and reduce the marriage penalty.
On principle, no one in America should have to pay more than a third of their paycheck to the federal government. So we reduce tax rates for everyone in every bracket.
On principle, every family, every farmer and small business person should be free to pass on their life's work to those they love. So we abolish the death tax.
These are not Republican principles, or Democratic principles. These are principles that are shared by Americans in both parties, and Americans in no party. This is the reason my tax relief plan has so much momentum. Americans want our tax code to be reasonable and simple and fair. These are goals that unite our country, and these are goals that have shaped my plan.
The Senate should act quickly on my plan for two good reasons: First, tax relief is good news for our economy, which needs some good news. Second, my tax reform plan will treat everyone fairly.
If you agree with me, I hope you'll tell your senator that you agree. Together we can help make our nation more prosperous and our tax system more fair.
Thank you for listening.

# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 25 - Medical Men

Layout 2
​Medical Men. — Benjamin Bosanquet, M.D., F.R.S., was the fifth son of Monsieur Bosanquet, the refugee (See Chapter xx.); he was born in London, Queen Street, St. Antholins, in 1708, and was baptized by Rev. Charles Bertheau. He was one of the Council of the Royal Society. He resided at Hatton Gardens, and died in 1755, unmarried.
Philip Du Val, M.D. (probably a son of Rev. Mr. Du Val, pasteur of La Patente, Soho), having studied under Boerhaave, became First Physician to the Princess of Wales, mother of George III. About 1730 he married Marianne (born 1707), daughter of Rev. Israel Antoine Aufrère. His son was Rev. Philip Du Val, D.D., F.R.S., Canon of Windsor and Vicar of Twickenham, who died in London on 14th March 1808, aged seventy-six.
[The reverend Canon’s promotion may have been the result of his letter to the Earl of Bute:—
“My Lord, — Your Lordship was so good as to promise me your powerful protection when the proper opportunity should offer for me to ask some mark of favour on account of my seven years’ Attachment to the Princess. I take the liberty to remind your Lordship of this your gracious promise, and intreat you to obtain of His Majesty for me the Prebend of ​Westminster now vacant by the death of Lord Irwin, or any other preferment which it shall please His Majesty to bestow on my small services. I flatter myself that this importunity will not appear improper from one who depends upon your Lordship’s protection alone, and who will ever be with the most respectful zeal, My Lord, your Lordship’s most devoted, most obedient, and most humble servant,
“Ph. Duval.”
“April y$^e$ 18th 1763.”
John Obadiah Justamon, F.R.S., surgeon, died 27th March 1786. Justamont or Justamon, was a French Protestant surname, occurring in 1611, 1658, and 1674. At the Revocation, Jeremie Justamon of Marsillargues retired to Switzerland.
Charles Edward Bernard, M.D., of Edinburgh University, was a physician of the highest reputation in Clifton from 1812 to 1838. His ancestors were Huguenot refugees, who became proprietors in Jamaica. He died 18th November 1843. (See Gentleman’s Magazine.)
Charles Nicholas De la Cherois Purdon, M.D., is a son of Henry Purdon, M.D., by Anne, daughter of the late Samuel De la Cherois Crommelin of Carrowdore, and aunt of the present proprietor. He is the author of “The Huguenot Colony in Lisburn.” in the Ulster Journal of Archaeology, and of a pamphlet published at Belfast in 1869. “The Huguenots, a Brief History of the circumstances that obliged the Huguenots to leave France, and their settlement in Ireland.”

​Other M.P.’s. — John La Roche (born 1700), M.P. for Bodmyn from 1727 till his death in 1752, was a son of Monsieur Pierre Crothaire of the Province of Bordeaux, who came to England as an attendant upon Prince George of Denmark, and assumed the name of La Roche by that Prince’s desire.
Sir James Laroche was the third son of the above (born 1734). He was elected M.P. for Bodmyn in 1768, and was made a Baronet 24th August 1776. He died in 1805. His sister Catherine, wife of Charles Berners, Esq. of Wolverston Park, Suffolk, died in 1800.
Joshua Mauger was twice elected M.P. for Poole, viz., in 1768 and 1774. He was a Director of the French Hospital in 1769. He often voted in minorities with Colonel Barré, and was sometimes one of the tellers in the divisions.
William Devaynes, an East India Director, and a Director of the French Hospital, was chosen M.P. for Barnstaple in 1774.
# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 25 - Perigal

Layout 2
​Perigal. — This refugee family came to London from Normandy, and I regret that I have not met with a pedigree. As early as 12th October 1690, Jacques Perigal married Esther Le Marcis, in the French Church in the Savoy. Francois Perigal was married in the French Church of Castle Street, Leicester Square, in 1726. We can trace three generations in the Directorate of the French Hospital — John, 24th July 1718, Francis, 12th July 1769, John, 14th July 1784. Perhaps we may claim as a son or grandson of John, Mr. Arthur Perigal, an artist, who was a pupil of Fuseli in the Royal Academy. He removed to Edinburgh, and became a portrait and landscape painter there, and also a teacher of drawing. His portraits and landscapes appeared for the first time in the Scottish Academy Exhibition of 1833. He died on 19th October 1847, and his widow, Louisa Susanah, on 19th April 1861 . His son, the second and best known Arthur Perigal, was born in London in August 1816. He was his father’s pupil, and followed in his father’s steps, but did not paint portraits. He executed fully three hundred landscapes. Mis name first appears in the Academy’s catalogue in 1838; in 1841 he became an Associate; and in 1868 a Royal Scottish Academician. His studies from nature, in which the perspective was most effective, and his water-colour pictures were more successful works of art than his finished paintings in oil. But many of the latter were of undoubted merit, including scenes, obtained by annual tours, in Italy, Switzerland, and Norway, among the mountains of Wales, the Scottish Border, the banks of the Tweed and ​Teviot, the Trossachs, and the North. He was a member of the Edinburgh Angling Club and similar associations. The Illustrated News winds up his career thus:— “Mr. Arthur Perigal, R.S.A., a distinguished painter, especially of Highland scenery, and an enthusiastic angler, died on 5th June 1884, aged sixty-eight.” (See the Scotsman newspaper.)
# Proclamation 7344

Delivered on 22 September 2000.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
America's Armed Forces have stood watch over our freedom for more than two centuries. They have held posts on lonely ridges, spent long days and nights at sea, and faced danger in the skies. They have sacrificed their youth, their time, and even their lives to sustain the foundation on which our country was built and to protect the democratic values that keep our country strong and free.
The mothers of these courageous men and women have also bravely stood watch—in homes once filled with the laughter of children—and waited for word from their loved ones. When the guns of battle fell silent, many mothers' homes were once again filled with the boisterous commotion of their children returning from distant lands. But the homes of Gold Star Mothers remained silent. Their children had made the ultimate sacrifice for our Nation, and Gold Star Mothers were left with the profound sorrow of their heartbreaking loss.
But America's Gold Star Mothers rose above their personal tragedy, and today they continue to stand watch over our Nation. Reaching out to improve the lives of others and to ensure that the noble contributions of their sons and daughters are not forgotten, they are powerful examples of service and sacrifice for us all. With dignity, courage, and compassion, they have worked to promote patriotism, foster peace and goodwill, and extend a helping hand to veterans and those in need. Their generosity of spirit has touched the lives of countless Americans and made certain that the selflessness their children demonstrated in service to our country remains a prominent part of our national character.
For their steadfast devotion to duty and their unwavering commitment to carrying on the proud legacy of their children, we honor these Gold Star Mothers each year. The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 115 of June 23, 1936 (49 Stat. 1895), has designated the last Sunday in September as "Gold Star Mother's Day" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Sunday, September 24, 2000, as Gold Star Mother's Day. I call upon all government officials to display the United States flag over government buildings on this solemn day. I also encourage the American people to display the flag and to hold appropriate meetings in their homes, places of worship, or other suitable places as a public expression of the sympathy and respect that our Nation holds for our Gold Star Mothers.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-fifth.
William J. Clinton
