WILLIAM J. CLINTON Proclamation 6721 of September 16, 1994 National Farm Safety and Health Week, 1994 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation America has long been known as the land of plenty.

They are more prone to accidents and are especially vulnerable to dangerous chemicals. Their energy, optimism, and love are irreplaceable resources. We must all be mindful of the need to provide them proper supervision and guidance. Agricultural workers face many dangers, but their work is among the most rewarding in the world.
