PROCLAMATION 5506—JUNE 25, 1986

100 STAT. 4471

American manufacturers are adapting to new economic circumstances by increasing their efficiency, their productivity, and their price-competitiveness. They have retained their share of the gross national product in a dynamic and changing national economy. It is the policy of this Administration to ensure the right of all American industries to compete fairly in world markets by vigorously enforcing our trading rights worldwide. I am convinced that in an environment of free and fair trade, our manufacturing industries can meet any foreign competitors in price, quality, and reliability. In recognition of the many accomplishments of our manufacturing industries, their critical role in our economy, and the many contributions of their employees to our national life, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 346, has designated June 21, 1986 as "National Save American Industry and Jobs Day" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this occasion. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 21, 1986 as National Save American Industry and Jobs Day, and I invite the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and tenth. RONALD REAGAN

Awareness, generosity, and the determination to find solutions to community problems are traits that have long kept our country strong. We have always been a people who give of ourselves to help those less fortunate in a way that no government or institution by itself can. Prevention of homelessness is a complex challenge that faces us today. Although estimates of the exact number of homeless vary widely, innovative approaches to this problem by all elements of our society are needed. And in few other areas has each segment of our society been so involved, with so much dedication and sacrifice. Federal, State, and local governments, national service organizations, corporations, churches, synagogues, and voluntary groups, over the years, have worked together to provide food, shelter, and comfort for the needy. Now, I call upon all Americans to come together in partnership and resolve to invigorate their commitment to reach out to their fellow Americans in need. Let us all experience the blessings of compassion and goodwill that come from the joy of helping others. To increase public awareness of the problem of homelessness, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 347, has designated the week beginning
