Proclamation 5560 --
National Housing Week, 1986
By
the President of the
A
Proclamation
The
housing industry has played a major role in our economic prosperity, especially
since World War II. Thanks to our free enterprise system, to the vision of many
entrepreneurs, and to sound government policies, the housing industry has
created millions of jobs, increased demand for goods and services, and
generated billions of dollars for our economy.
Because
of this economic activity, millions of Americans have been able to provide
safe, secure, and affordable housing for their families. Our communities, our
Nation, and the institution of the family itself are much the stronger thereby.
The policies of all levels of government should be committed to continuing this
situation.
It
is most appropriate that Americans recognize the social and economic benefits
the housing industry provides our Nation, and that we remain grateful for the
free market system that provides Americans with affordable housing
opportunities.
The
Congress, by Public Law 99 - 419, has designated the week of October 19 through
October 26, 1986, as ``National Housing Week'' and authorized and requested the
President to issue a proclamation in observance of this occasion.
Now,
Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the
In
Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of October,
in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the
Ronald
Reagan
