Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A., 1994

Proclamation 6658 of March 23, 1994

Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A., 1994

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

America's success in the years to come requires a
national commitment to providing excellence in
education. Our ability to seize the opportunities
before us depends on the strength of our scholarship.
We must build an educational system that offers our
country's vast promise to every citizen. Only when we
know that all of our students are receiving the best
care and training possible can we say that we are
prepared for the challenges of the future.

New innovations in teaching methods and curricula,
combined with traditional lessons of ethics and
morality, afford students a comprehensive education
that will serve them well their entire lives. By
sharing our experiences and our beliefs with the next
generation of Americans, we can prepare our Nation for
the awesome responsibilities and opportunities that lie
ahead.

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the leader of the
Lubavitch movement, has contributed a great deal to
this important endeavor, advancing the ideals of
sharing and education over the course of his long and
rich life. As Rabbi Schneerson celebrates his 92nd
birthday, it is fitting and appropriate that the people
of the United States honor his gifts to education and
rededicate themselves to the teaching of ethics and
morality.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, 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 March 23, 1994, as Education
and Sharing Day, U.S.A. I call upon the people of the
United States, Government officials, educators, and
volunteers to observe the day with appropriate
programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
twenty-third day of March, in the year of our Lord
nineteen hundred and ninety-four, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two
hundred and eighteenth.
