                Proclamation 8127 of April 19, 2007

                
Small Business Week, 2007

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During Small Business Week, we honor small business 
                owners and workers for their important role in ensuring 
                that America remains the economic leader of the world. 
                Every day, our Nation's small businesses help enhance 
                the lives of our citizens and lead the way in an 
                economy distinguished by low unemployment, sustained 
                job creation, and one of the fastest growth rates of 
                any major industrialized nation.

                To help extend our Nation's prosperity, my 
                Administration is committed to continuing the pro-
                growth economic policies that encourage enterprise and 
                make America the best place in the world to do 
                business. Our economy has created more than 7 million 
                new jobs since major tax relief was enacted in 2003, 
                and we are working to keep taxes low to help small 
                businesses continue to expand. We are taking steps to 
                make health care more affordable and available for 
                small business owners and employees by encouraging 
                Health Savings Accounts, supporting Association Health 
                Plans legislation, and proposing a standard tax 
                deduction for health insurance. My Administration is 
                also committed to ensuring that small businesses can 
                compete in the global economy.

                By continuing to expand trade, we can open new markets 
                for American products, lower prices for consumers, and 
                create better American jobs.

                 Small businesses are the lifeblood of cities and towns 
                across the country, and we salute small business 
                owners, entrepreneurs, and employees for enhancing our 
                communities and expanding opportunities for all. The 
                hard work and ingenuity of our Nation's small business 
                men and women are helping to sustain America's economic 
                strength.

                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 April 22 through April 28, 
                2007, as Small Business Week. I call upon the people of 
                the United States to observe this week with appropriate 
                ceremonies, activities, and programs that celebrate the 
                accomplishments of small business owners and their 
                employees and encourage the development of new small 
                businesses.
