WILLIAM J. CLINTON Proclamation 6727 of September 27, 1994 Energy Awareness Month, 1994 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation We have become increasingly aware in recent decades that our sources of energy are finite. America's economy continues to expand, generating new jobs, increased production, and an even higher demand for energy. At the same time, the changing needs of our people and the fragile nature of our environment teach us that we must use our resources wisely. The long-term health of our Nation and of our world require that we continually reexamine the ways we produce and consume energy.
