# Proclamation 5682

Delivered on 20 July 1987.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
For more than three and one-half centuries, Czechs and Czech Americans, through talent, industriousness, and energy, have been compiling a proud record of achievement in our country. All Americans are glad to join our fellow citizens of Czech descent in celebrating this precious and living heritage, as well as the extensive ties between our peoples here and in Europe.
Czechs have long sought liberty and opportunity in the United States, and they have distinguished themselves here in every field of endeavor-in science, religion, literature, the professions, business, labor, and the armed forces, the arts, government, sports, and countless other fields. Among the first North Americans ever canonized was a Czech American, St. John Nepomucene Neumann, a missionary and later a bishop of Philadelphia in the 19th century. In that century hundreds of thousands of Czechs came to America, seeking freedom and economic opportunity. In this century as well, Czechs have sought freedom in this country from Nazi and Soviet oppression-most recently from the brutal Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968.
Connections of Czechs and America flow in both directions. The United States is inextricably linked to the founding of Czechoslovakia. President Woodrow Wilson strongly advocated independence for Czechs and others. The Czechoslovak Declaration of Independence was drafted in Washington, D.C., and the Constitution of the first Czechoslovak Republic was modelled on the United States Constitution, whose bicentennial we observed this year. The great statesman Thomas Masaryk, who married an American, cited the profound influence of the writings of Thomas Jefferson and other American democrats on his own philosophy.
To recognize the contributions of Czech Americans to our country and to encourage the American people to learn more about this legacy, the Congress, by Public Law 100-69, has designated the period beginning July 27, 1987, and ending on August 2, 1987, as "National Czech American Heritage Week" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in its observance.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the period beginning July 27, 1987, and ending August 2, 1987, as National Czech American Heritage Week. I call upon all Americans to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.

# Proclamation 5684

Delivered on 22 July 1987.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Each year, we set aside a special week to salute the many contributions of minority business men and women to our Nation's economic well-being and to celebrate the free market that makes these contributions possible. Our observance of Minority Enterprise Development Week this year, during the Bicentennial of the Constitution, summons us to reflect on the debt every business man and woman-and each of us-owes to the fundamental principles of freedom and justice guaranteed by this great charter.
By creating a limited form of government, our Constitution protects the inalienable rights of all Americans and ensures equal opportunity for all. Our free market economy springs from these principles. The equality of opportunity it creates makes our Nation prosperous, expands our technological prowess, and keeps our country economically competitive. The more than 840,000 minority American entrepreneurs exemplify the success our economic freedom offers. These energetic business men and women inspire all Americans as they create jobs, bring new products and services to the marketplace, and enhance our quality of life.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of October 4 through October 10, 1987, as Minority Enterprise Development Week. I call upon all Americans to join together with minority business enterprises across our country in appropriate observances.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth.

MALACAÑANG MANILA
PROCLAMATION No. 1
Sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanates from them.
On the basis of the people's mandate clearly manifested last February 7, I and Salvador H. Laurel are taking power in the name and by the will of the Filipino people as President and Vice President, respectively.
By the powers vested in me by the people, I ask all those in the civil service to stay in place. Those who have not done anything against the interests of the people have nothing to fear, I ask that they preserve all records with scrupulous care.
The people expect a reorganization of government. Merit will be rewarded. As a first step to restore confidence in public administration, I expect all appointive public officials to submit their courtesy resignation beginning with the members of the Supreme Court.
I pledge to do justice to the numerous victims of human rights violations.
Consistent with the demands of the sovereign people, we pledge a government dedicated to uphold truth and justice, morality and decency in government, freedom and democracy.
To help me run the government, I have issued Executive Order No. 1 dated February 25, 1986 appointing key cabinet ministers and creating certain task forces.
I ask our people not to relax but to be even more vigilant in this one moment of triumph. The Motherland cannot thank them enough. Yet, we all realize that more is required of each and everyone of us to redeem our promises and prove to create a truly just society for our people.
This is just the beginning. The same spirit which animated our campaign, and has led to our triumph, will once more prevail, by the power of the people and by the grace of God.
Done in the City of Manila, this 25th day of February in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and eighty-six.

# Protestant Exiles from France/Volume 2 - Book Third - Chapter 12 - Note

Note.
An interesting reinforcement of French Protestant Refugees arrived after the Peace of Utrecht, and were called French Protestants released from the galleys of France. One among these became an author, namely, Jean Marteille, a native of Bergerac, born in 1684. The dragoons had been let loose upon the Protestants wuh renewed fury after the Peace of Ryswick in 1698. Jean was then aged fourteen; and troopers having been quartered in his father’s house, he fled towards Holland; but, having entered Marienburg, he found himself surrounded by French soldiers, and was arrested and sent to the galleys. It was not till 1714 that he was released and arrived in London. (A Jean Marteille was married in London on 26th December 1711. See my Historical Introduction.) His coming to England was not with the view of settling there, but only on an errand of mercy. His adopted country was Holland, where he died in 1777, aged ninety-three. He published, in 1757, Memoires d’un Protestant condamné aux galères de France pour cause de religion, écrits par lui-même. There is an English translation of this book largely circulated and extensively read. The first translation appeared in 1758, in two volumes, said ​to be “translated by J. Willington;” but it was in fact the work of the poet Goldsmith. The following receipt has been preserved:—
“London, Jan. 7, 11, 1758. — Received of Mr. Edward Dilly, six pounds thirteen shillings and four pence, in full for his third share of my translation of a book entitled ‘Memoirs of a Protestant Condemned to the Galleys for his Religion,’ &c.“Oliver Goldsmith.”

XIII. Rev. Henri de Rocheblave.
De Rocheblave was born in France on the 6th December 1655 [1665?]. At the date of the Revocation he was a student of theology at Schaffhouse, and there he was admitted to the ministry at the age of twenty-one. France being closed against him, he took refuge in England, and arrived at Greenwich, where the Marchioness of Ruvigny made him her domestic chaplain. In 1692 he was one of the ministers of the French Church of Le Quarré, Little Dean Street, Westminster. He thereafter went to Ireland, having received a parochial benefice. This he resigned in a few years, and in 1703 we find his name on the list of ministers of the French Church of Lucy Lane, Dublin. When he was solicited to transfer his services to St. Mary’s, a conformist French congregation patronised by the Archbishop of Dublin, he promised his attached Huguenot people that he would never leave them. He died, after a brief illness, in the prime of life, at Dublin, on the 14th September 1709 (3d Sept., old style). His sermon on the last Sabbath of his ministry, was on Acts xx. 32, being the Apostle Paul’s adieux to the elders of Ephesus; he had not time to finish the sermon, and announced that he would finish it on the following Thursday. This was a displacement of his weekly lecture on the Catechism. Some of his congregation suspected that he meditated a translation to another church, which being reported to him, he was much amused. On the Thursday he kept his promise, being apparently in perfect health; he preached with great energy, and this strengthened the conjecture that he was giving a hint of his having accepted another ministerial appointment. The next day he was seized with what proved to be his last illness, but it seemed to be very slight; he, however, from the first, said calmly and decidedly, “I am ready to go wherever Providence leads me. I have not preached the truth, as it is in Jesus, so long, without making a personal application of it. Whatever be the way God may be pleased to dispose of me, I have no other will but His.”
He appears to have been twice married. His first wife’s maiden name was Elizabeth La Caux. Their son, Pierre, was baptised in Le Quarré French Church on 23d December 1694, and was named after the pasteur, Pierre Desgalenière. His second wife, who survived as his widow, and whose Christian name was Isabeau, had the sad and pleasing duty of superintending the publication of the posthumous volume of his sermons, which she dedicated to the Earl of Galway in 1710. (See the Appendix to my vol. i., where her Dedicatory Epistle is printed.) The son, Pierre de Rocheblave, is probably the person intended in the following notice inserted in the Historical Register:— “1730, Sept. 12. — The Rev. Dr. Rocheblave was sworn in Preacher to the French Chapel Royal at St. James’s, by the Sub-Dean of His Majesty’s Chapel.”
