REGULATIONS ON DESIGNATING BICENTENNIAL COMMUNITIES The Commission encourages local governing bodies to establish Bicentennial Communities. The term "community" includes all political subdivisions having an elected government, such as a city, county, town, village, municipality, township, borough, any Native American tribe or reservation, or any combination thereof. Unincorporated areas which have an established identity of their own also may apply for designation. A Designated Bicentennial Community is one which (1) has established a Bicentennial Committee broadly representative of the Community; (2) has developed and approved plans for a commemorative program that will educate its residents about the meaning and significance of the Constitution; and, (3) has received an official designation from the federal Commission. To be considered a Designated Bicentennial Community, a community should submit a completed application form to its State Bicentennial Commission. Upon approval by the State Commission, the application with the State Commission's approval noted will be sent to the federal Commission for its review and decision. Notification of approval as a Designated Bicentennial Community then will be forwarded to the local Bicentennial group by the federal Commission.

Nottingham, Mayor Office of* Special Adviser to the President for Consumer Affairs - �a %Vashingnon. D.C. 202111 March 10, 1987 Dear Mayor: April 19 -25, 1987 is the sixth annual National Consumers Week (NCW). It is the week President Reagan sets aside each year to highlight the importance of consumer rights, education and protection and the vital role that consumers play in the economic health of our nation. The President's official 1987 National Consumers Week proclamation set this year's slogan as "Consumers Celebrate the Constitution." We hope you will join in this consumer event by issuing an appropriate proclamation of your own. Building on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution theme, the President cited the Constitution as creating the ". principles of freedom and fairness (that) are the basis for consumer rights in the marketplace: the right to choose among products, services, and suppliers; the right to adequate information about what we buy; the right to expect that products offered for sale will conform to reasonable safety standards; the right to be heard; and the right to consumer education." I am enclosing a copy of the complete proclamation for your reference. Each year businesses, trade associations, schools, government agencies and other organizations across the country conduct hundreds of activities during NCW to promote their consumer programs, introduce new programs; and show their appreciation of loyal customers. I hope we can count on your support for NCW this year. If you do issue your own proclamation, please send a copy to me, so I can include it in my NCW report to the President. If you or your staff need additional information, please call Gina Ley Steiner at (202) 634 -4329. Sincerely, Vir VvIliser s H. Knauer Special to the President for Consumer Affairs r _ x, L � National Consumers Week, 1987 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In the bicentennial year of the Constitution of the United States, it is appropri- ate that we reflect on the cherished freedoms and rights on which our open marketplace is founded. In recognition of the importance of the Constitution to American consumers in assuring us the many blessings we enjoy today, the theme for National Consumers Week 1987 shall be "Consumers Celebrate the Constitution." Two hundred years ago, a group of patriots conceived the Constitution and thereby created the political, economic, and social framework for our Nation. As a result; many precious freedoms have been guaranteed to American citizens. Inherent in these is the freedom to produce, to• sell, and to buy or not to buy. Our competitive marketplace has flourished and become the most productive in the world, providing American consumers with unparalleled choices and opportunities. The goal of the Constitution's framers was to provide a free market in goods and services marked by creativity, by invention, and by the productivity of American workers. We can be thankful today for the wisdom of our Founders. A functioning national market for goods and services with common money, standard weights and measures, reliable legal procedures respecting honest contracts, freedom from oppressive taxation, the encouragement of invention, and a dependable postal system were commonly recognized as needs in the debates of the Constitutional Convention. The resulting document, signed in Philadel- phia in 1787, so effectively addressed those concerns that the same principles guide our modern economy. These principles of freedom and fairness are the basis for consumer rights in the marketplace: the right to choose among products, services, and suppliers; the right to adequate information about what we buy; the right to expect that products offered for sale will conform to reasonable safety standards; the right to be heard; and the right to consumer education. National Consumers Week 1987 is dedicated to reminding us that the exercise of these rights helps to maintain the vigor of our economic system -- creating positive pressure for better products, services, and warranties —and that consumer education is a lifelong process. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, 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 the week beginning April 19, 1987, as National Consumers Week. I urge consumers, businesses, educators, commu- nity organizations, labor unions, the media, and government officials to identify, emphasize, and promote activities during National Consumers Week that draw attention to the consumer's rights under the Constitution. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 19th day of Feb., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty- seven, and of the Independ- ence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh.
