 PROCLAMATION 6286—MAY 1, 1991 105 STAT. 2547 As more and more Americans discover these and other advantages of regular athletic activity, our communities and Nation benefit as well. Because physically fit persons generally have more energy and stamina, greater athletic activity among our population contributes to greater productivity and performance in the workplace. Because an active, healthy life-style can help to prevent coronary disease and other health problems, increased public participation in sports can also help to keep medical costs down.

This document was a resoimding declaration of Poles' desire for liberty and self-government—and it was a bold challenge to the foreign powers that had invaded and partitioned their country less than 20 years before. One of the first written national constitutions in the world, the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791, was modeled after our own. Even through
