 Proc. 8105 Title 3--The President and other types of heart disease by exercising regularly, maintaining healthy eating habits and weight, avoiding tobacco use, and monitoring cholesterol and blood pressure levels. All Americans should speak with their doctors about the dangers of this disease and get regular preventive screenings. My Administration continues to help raise awareness of heart disease through initiatives such as "The Heart Truth" campaign, sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. First Lady Laura Bush serves as the National Ambassador of "The Heart Truth" campaign and works with partner organizations as part of her Women's Health and Wellness Initia- tive. The campaign informs women about the dangers of this deadly illness and encourages them to make cardiovascular health a priority. This year marks the fifth anniversary of the campaign, which uses the red dress as a symbol to remind women to protect their heart health and inspire them to take action. New data shows that fewer women are dying from heart dis- ease, and more women are aware heart disease is the number one killer. During American Heart Month, we honor the medical professionals, re- searchers, and all those whose tireless efforts are making a positive dif- ference in the lives of those battling heart disease. By working together, we can continue to help the American people live longer and healthier lives. In acknowledgement of the importance of the ongoing fight against cardio- vascular disease, the Congress, by }oint Resolution approved December 30, 1963, as amended (77 Stat. 843; 36 U.S.C. 101), has requested that the President issue an annual proclamation designating February as "American Heart Month." NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim February 2007 as American Heart Month, and I invite all Americans to participate in National Wear Red Day on Feb- ruary 2, 2007. I also invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, officials of other areas subiect to the iurisdiction of the United States, and the American people to ioin me in recognizing and re- affirming our commitment to fighting cardiovascular disease. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of Feb- ruary, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independ- ence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.
