 PROCLAMATION 6190—SEPT. 28, 1990 104 STAT. 5403 Minority business men and women have always demonstrated the kind of commitment to excellence that is vital to keeping America strong and competitive. Industrious and deteraiined, these individuals have taken advantage of the opportunities available in our free enterprise system, helping to create jobs and contributing to the development of their communities.
