National Disability Employment Awareness Month, 2007 

A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America 

National Disability Employment Awareness Month is an opportunity to
recognize the contributions and accomplishments of Americans with

disabilities and to underscore our Nation's commitment to advancing
employment opportunities for all our citizens. 

Americans with disabilities strengthen our country's workforce, and
their achievements help keep our Nation the world's economic leader.
Landmark 

reforms such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 have helped
to ensure that individuals with disabilities are better able to engage
in

productive work and participate fully in the life of our Nation. It is
important that we continue to expand on these opportunities for
Americans

with disabilities by eliminating the barriers and false perceptions that
hinder them from joining the workforce. By enhancing the workplace

environment for people with disabilities, employers can help provide
access to jobs that allow these individuals to demonstrate their
potential and

realize their dreams.

Since 2001, my New Freedom Initiative has helped promote the full
participation of people with disabilities in all areas of society,
including

education, training, and employment. Programs such as "Ticket to Work"
and services at One-Stop Career Centers have helped improve access to
employment

training and placement services for individuals who want to work.
Throughout the Federal Government, we have worked to improve access to
jobs for

individuals with disabilities and to promote greater inclusiveness in
the workforce. Individuals and employers can learn more about the
Federal

Government's disability-related programs by visiting
www.DisabilityInfo.gov <http://www.disabilityinfo.gov/> . We will
continue to build on the progress that has been made for individuals

with disabilities and will work to ensure that our Nation remains a
place of opportunity for all Americans. 

To recognize the contributions of Americans with disabilities and to
encourage all citizens to ensure equal opportunity in the workforce, the

Congress (36 U.S.C. 121) has designated October of each year as
"National Disability Employment Awareness Month." 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of
America, do hereby proclaim October 2007 as National Disability
Employment

Awareness Month. I call upon Government officials, labor leaders,
employers, and the people of the United States to observe this month
with appropriate

programs, ceremonies, and activities. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day
of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the

Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and
thirty-second. 

GEORGE W. BUSH
