PROCLAMATION 5150—FEB. 13, 1984
98 STAT. 3551
Proclamation 5149 of February 1, 1984
National Tourism Week, 1984 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The tourism industry is extremely important to the United States, contributing to our employment, economic prosperity, and international trade and understanding. Each of us benefits from the effects of tourism. It substantially enhances our personal growth and education. Tourism also promotes intercultural understanding and appreciation of the geography, history and people of the United States. Now that inflation has been reduced and the economy is growing, personal incomes and leisure time will increase more rapidly. Tourism therefore can be expected to play an even greater role in the lives of the American people. In recognition of the significance of the tourism industry to the enhancement of international trade, understanding and goodwill, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 168, has designated the week beginning May 27, 1984, as "National Tourism Week" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 27, 1984, as National Tourism Week, and I call upon the people of the United States to observe such week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 1st day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Editorial note: For the President's remarks of Feb. 1, 1984, on signing Proclamation 5149, see the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents [vol. 20, p. 146)
Proclamation 5150 of February 13, 1984
Save Your Vision Week, 1984 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Every day we rely on vision to provide us with a clear, vivid picture of our surroundings and the people we care about. Although we use our eyesight in virtually all activities, we often take it for granted until it is endangered by disease or injury. This is unfortunate because there are steps we can take to protect our eyes and to safeguard the precious gift of sight.
