 Proc. 7350 Title 3--The President and mental health providers to collaborate on local solutions to school and youth violence. My proposed budget for fiscal 2001 includes an increase of more than $100 million for this program. I have also called on the Con- gress to allow eligible workers under the Family and Medical Leave Act to take up to 24 hours of additional leave each year to meet family obliga- tions, including school activities such as parent-teacher conferences. Amer- ica is enioying a period of unprecedented economic success today; but we will never be truly successful as a Nation until we ensure that all families have the tools and opportunity they need in order to raise healthy children. To acknowledge the importance of our children's health, the Congress, by ioint resolution approved May 18, 1928, as amended (36 U.S.C. 105), has called for the designation of the first Monday in October as "Child Health Day" and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM }. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday, October 2, 2000, as Child Health Day. I call upon families, schools, communities, and governments to dedicate themselves to promoting and protecting the health and well- being of all our children. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty- fifth.

CLINTON Proclamation 7350 of October 2, 2000 To Implement the African Growth and Opportunity Act and To Designate Eritrea as a Beneficiary Developing Country for Purposes of the Generalized System of Preferences By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1.
