# Proclamation 7786

Delivered on 14 May 2004.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Hurricanes are among nature's most powerful forces, bringing destructive winds, tornadoes, and floods from torrential rains and ocean storm surges. Each year, several hurricanes develop off American shores in the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. Some of these strike the United States coastline every year, causing numerous fatalities and costing billions of dollars in damage. Many Americans are vulnerable to the dangers of these storms.
In recent years, advances in how we predict and track these storms have improved preparedness and saved lives, but people living in hurricane-prone areas still must be prepared. The National Hurricane Center within the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recommends developing a family disaster plan, creating a disaster supply kit, and staying aware of current weather situations.
While citizens make preparations to keep themselves safe, the Federal Government is maintaining our commitment to improve forecasts to provide advance warning and to coordinate effective emergency response. The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency is also working on a plan to better position disaster equipment and supplies, so Federal resources to support local emergency services arrive quickly.
While no policy can eliminate the threat that hurricanes pose to lives and property, cooperation among citizens and Federal, State, and local officials can reduce the dangers and provide a more effective response to these storms.
Now, Therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 16 through May 22, 2004, as National Hurricane Preparedness Week. I call upon government agencies, private organizations, schools, news media, and residents in hurricane-prone areas to share information about hurricane preparedness and response, and to implement steps to minimize storm damage and save lives. I also call upon Americans living in the coastal areas of our Nation to use this opportunity to learn more about how to protect themselves against the effects of hurricanes and tropical storms.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-eighth.

# Proclamation 7787

Delivered on 14 May 2004.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
The dedication and entrepreneurial spirit of small business owners are vital to our Nation's economic growth and prosperity. We celebrate Small Business Week to applaud the efforts of America's small business men and women in our communities.
Small businesses are a central part of America's economy. They create approximately 70 percent of new private sector jobs in this country. As our Nation's economy continues to grow stronger, we must encourage their spirit of enterprise.
To help small businesses invest and create more jobs, we have decreased the tax burden. We have given small business men and women a fair chance to bid on government contracts. We have a plan to create more opportunity for America's small businesses and workers by making health care costs more affordable and predictable; streamlining regulations and paperwork requirements; reducing frivolous lawsuits; making America less dependent on foreign sources of energy; and permanently eliminating the death tax.
In this Small Business Week, we salute America's small business owners and entrepreneurs and workers for their contributions to America's prosperity and for making our Nation better and stronger.
Now, Therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 16 through May 22, 2004, as Small Business Week. I call upon all the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs that celebrate the achievements of small business owners and their employees and encourage and foster the development of new small businesses.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-eighth.

# Proclamation 7790

Delivered on 21 May 2004.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Our Nation's many waterways give millions of boating enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and spend time with family and friends. With nearly 13 million recreational boats on our oceans, lakes, and rivers, boating is a popular pastime. However, far too many Americans are hurt or killed each year in boating accidents that are largely preventable.
Each year, of the thousands of boating accidents that occur, many are caused by operators who are careless, reckless, or inexperienced. In most cases, boat operators had received no safety instruction, and many of those who died could have been saved if they had worn life jackets. During National Safe Boating week, we seek to raise awareness to improve safety and reduce accidents on our Nation's waters.
Across the Nation, many groups are working to teach recreational boaters how they can make boating safer through the 2004 North American Safe Boating Campaign. These include the U.S. Coast Guard, the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the National Safe Boating Council, and the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators. These groups recommend that boaters get boat safety checks, ensure that boats are properly maintained, take safe boating classes, be aware of homeland security issues, always wear a life jacket, and never operate a boat under the influence of alcohol or drugs. By learning about boating safety and taking some simple precautions, recreational boaters can reduce the risk of accidents and ensure that they enjoy their time on the water responsibly.
In recognition of the importance of safe boating practices, the Congress, by joint resolution approved June 4, 1958 (36 U.S.C. 131), as amended, has authorized and requested the President to proclaim annually the 7-day period prior to Memorial Day weekend as "National Safe Boating Week."
Now, Therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 22 through May 28, 2004, as National Safe Boating Week. I encourage the Governors of the 50 States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, to join in observing this occasion. I also urge all boaters to learn more about safe boating practices, always wear life jackets, and take advantage of boating safety programs throughout the year.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-eighth.

# Proclamation 7792

Delivered on 5 June 2004.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Sixty years ago, the soldiers, sailors, and airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force invaded Normandy in northern France to open a new front in our war against Nazism and tyranny. The courage of these troops turned the tide of World War II and changed the fate of the world forever. Their extraordinary service in the face of great danger demonstrated the finest qualities of our Nation and of our Allies, and millions around the world today live in freedom because of their sacrifice. By remembering the heroic actions of our Armed Forces at Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword beaches in 1944, we honor a generation who served this country and saved liberty for people everywhere.
Now, Therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 6, 2004, as D-Day National Remembrance Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this occasion with appropriate activities, ceremonies and programs designed to honor those who served and sacrificed to liberate Europe and defend America's freedom and security.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-eighth.

# Proclamation 7794

Delivered on 6 June 2004.
{{center|By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation To the People of the United States:
It is my sad duty to announce officially the death of Ronald Reagan, the fortieth President of the United States, on June 5, 2004.
We are blessed to live in a Nation, and a world, that have been shaped by the will, the leadership, and the vision of Ronald Reagan.
With an unshakable faith in the values of our country and the character of our people, Ronald Reagan renewed America's confidence and restored our Nation. His optimism, strength, and humility epitomized the American spirit. He always told us that for America the best was yet to come.
Ronald Reagan believed that God takes the side of justice and that America has a special calling to oppose tyranny and defend freedom. Through his courage and determination, he enhanced America's security and advanced the spread of peace, liberty, and democracy to millions of people who had lived in darkness and oppression. As America's President, Ronald Reagan helped change the world.
President Reagan has left us, but he has left us stronger and better. We take comfort in the knowledge that he has left us for a better place, the shining city that awaits him.
Now, Therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, in honor and tribute to the memory of Ronald Reagan, and as an expression of public sorrow, do hereby direct that the flag of the United States be displayed at half-staff at the White House and on all buildings, grounds, and Naval vessels of the United States for a period of 30 days from the day of his death. I also direct that for the same length of time, the representatives of the United States in foreign countries shall make similar arrangements for the display of the flag at half-staff over their Embassies, Legations, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and stations.
I hereby order that suitable honors be rendered by units of the Armed Forces under orders of the Secretary of Defense.
I do further appoint Friday, June 11, 2004, as a National Day of Mourning throughout the United States. I call on the American people to assemble on that day in their respective places of worship, there to pay homage to the memory of President Reagan. I invite the people of the world who share our grief to join us in this solemn observance.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-eighth.

# Proclamation 7785

Delivered on 14 May 2004.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Each year, America's transportation system helps many travelers reach their destinations and carries more than 16 billion tons of freight worth almost $12 trillion. In addition, our transportation systems play a critical role in deploying and sustaining our troops and their equipment around the world.
Throughout our history, advances in transportation have been at the forefront of progress. Last December, we celebrated the centennial of the Wright Brothers' first flight in North Carolina. The pioneering work of the Wright Brothers and subsequent improvements in aviation ushered in new eras of freedom and captured the imaginations of people around the world.
Today, our Nation proudly continues this tradition of innovation in all transportation fields. As we observe National Defense Transportation Day and National Transportation Week, we continue to modernize transportation, and we honor transportation professionals who help to keep our transportation systems secure, efficient, and reliable.
To recognize the men and women who work in the transportation industry and who contribute to our Nation's well-being and defense, the Congress, by joint resolution approved May 16, 1957, as amended (36 U.S.C. 120), has designated the third Friday in May of each year as "National Defense Transportation Day," and, by joint resolution approved May 14, 1962, as amended (36 U.S.C. 133), declared that the week during which that Friday falls be designated as "National Transportation Week."
Now, Therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Friday, May 21, 2004, as National Defense Transportation Day and May 16 through May 22, 2004, as National Transportation Week.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-eighth.

# Proclamation 7789

Delivered on 21 May 2004.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
National Maritime Day provides an opportunity to recognize the men and women of the United States Merchant Marine and their contributions to our national security and economic strength.
Since they first offered their ships and services to assist the Continental Navy in our struggle for independence, to their distinguished service in World War II, merchant mariners have courageously sacrificed to protect our country and defend our freedoms. In 1936, America recognized the contributions of these patriots and established the U.S. Merchant Marine "as a naval or military auxiliary in time of war or national emergency." Today, merchant mariners are delivering essential supplies and equipment to our troops in Iraq and bravely serving the cause of liberty. They continue to play an important role in our Nation's efforts to advance democracy, peace, and freedom around the world, and we are grateful for their dedication.
Merchant mariners also contribute significantly to the U.S. maritime transportation system. More than 95 percent of non-North American trade enters our country through our seaports. These ports handle more than $740 billion and 2 billion tons of domestic and international freight each year. Those in the maritime industry, including merchant mariners, enhance waterborne commerce and help promote America's economic growth.
Today, we honor the courage, determination, and service of our Nation's merchant mariners and remember the many who have given their lives in defense of our country. Their work reflects the patriotism and devotion to duty that make America great.
In recognition of the importance of the U.S. Merchant Marine, the Congress, by joint resolution approved on May 20, 1933, as amended, has designated May 22 of each year as "National Maritime Day," and has authorized and requested that the President issue an annual proclamation calling for its appropriate observance.
Now, Therefore, I, George W. Bush, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 22, 2004, as National Maritime Day. I call upon the people of the United States to celebrate this observance and to display the flag of the United States at their homes and in their communities. I also request that all ships sailing under the American flag dress ship on that day.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-eighth.

# Representative women of New England/Mary P. Putnam

​MARY PARKS PUTNAM, M.D., was born April 28, 1841, in Charlestown, N.H., known at the time of its settlement as Township No. 4. She is the eldest of the three daughters of the late David Whipple and Jane (Ellison) Parks, and is of English descent. The ancestral kin on the paternal side includes physicians, lawyers, and teachers, beside several persons who were highly skilled in trades. Her father was a soldier of the Civil War in the sixties of the nineteenth century, and did his full share toward the preservation of the Union.
Having an inherent love for study and investigation. Dr. Putnam's professional career was early foreshadowed. When barely fifteen years of age she became a teacher under the old district-school system in her native town and its vicinity. Such was her success that her services were in constant demand, and she made the record of fifty-three consecutive terms in the same school-room. While pursuing this vocation, she began the study of medicine, reading extensively by herself and then taking a three years' course in a school well-known at that time. Later entering the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Boston, she devoted three more years to study, and was graduated at the age of fifty-three. She immediately opened her office in one of the best residential districts of Boston, where her practice has steadily increased and become firmly established.
Doctor Putnam has always been ready to extend a helping hand to young women and girls. To one she gave the protection of her home and the same education and liberal training that she bestowed upon her own daughter, and to many another has she given encouragement and opportunity to gain higher education and development. She is interested in training-schools for nurses in Boston and elsewhere, also in numerous philanthropic, educational, and charitable movements. Needless to say, she has a large circle of friends. In the progress of modern science she keeps well posted, particularly on all lines relating to her chosen work.
She married during her .service as school-teacher Mr. Wesley D. Putnam, of her native town. For many years Mr. Putnam has been connected with one of the leading manufacturing houses in Massachusetts. He has always given his hearty sympathy and encouragement to his wife in the attainment of her professional ambition, and their home on Commonwealth Avenue has been a happy one, its sole shadow having been the death of their only child, a ​beautiful and accomplished young lady, wife of one of the rising young business men of Boston.
# Representative women of New England/Minnie L. Fenwick

​MINNIE LOUISE FENWICK, of Chelsea, Mass., well known as an educator and for her connection with women's clubs and charitable organizations, was born in Baden-Baden, Germany, but was brought to this country by her parents, Dr. F. William and Louise (Brodtman) Mahl, in infancy. Her father, Dr. F. William Mahl, settled at Sabine, Tex. He died in New Orleans in 1857 of yellow fever, during the epidemic of that disease, he having gone there to the relief of resident physicians. Mrs. Mahl, after the death of her husband, made her home with her two children, William and Minnie Louise, in Louisville, Ky. She died there on Januarv 31, 1859. Mrs. Fenwick's brother, William Mahl, of New York, is now ​MINNIE LOUISE FENWICK

Mrs. Fenwick acquired her early education in Louisville, and completed her preparatory studies in Switzerland, where she was sent to attend school during the Civil War, when Kentucky was in an unsettled condition. In 1866 she was offered a position as teacher in one of the public schools of Louisville, and in the autunm she returned home to begin her duties. In 1871, after five years of teaching, she married Henderson Reno, of Louisville, Ky. He died in 1876, and in the fall of the same year she resumed work as teacher in the public schools of Louisville. She continued thus employed for nine years, and in that time she acquired a comprehensive knowledge of the entire system of school work. Appointed principal of one of the grammar schools in January, 1886, she occupied this position till the summer of 1891. She became the wife of Dr. Joseph Benson Fenwick, of Chelsea, Mass., in July immediately after the close of the school term, and has since made that city her home.
She was elected to the School Board of Chelsea in December, 1892, and has been re-elected after each expired term since. Intelligent and practical as an educator, conversant with the best methods of foreign and American pedagogy, her counsel ha.s been of inestimable value to the instructors and the students of the Chelsea schools.
She has served on all the important committees, such as Course of Study, Text- books, Supplies, High School (being chairman of the High School Conunittee for two years).
She has b(»en an active member of the Chelsea Woman's Club since its organization, and is a member of the Chelsea Fortnightly Club. She holds the office of secretary in the Associated Charities of Chelsea, and is a vice-president of the Rufus S. Frost Hospital Aid Association.
