 118 STAT. 4196 PROCLAMATION 7832—OCT. 15, 2004 more than the daily recommended serving of fat, and less than 20 per- cent eat the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables. To promote the right choices, the Department of Agriculture’s HealthierUS School Challenge is encouraging schools and local communities to cre- ate an environment that supports healthy lifestyles for our Nation’s children. The success of the National School Lunch Program stems from the hard-working Americans who plan, prepare, and serve meals to mil- lions of children every day. In recognition of the contributions of the National School Lunch Program to the health, education, and well- being of America’s children, the Congress, by joint resolution of Octo- ber 9, 1962 (Public Law 87–780), as amended, has designated the week beginning on the second Sunday of October of each year as ‘‘National School Lunch Week’’; and has requested the President to issue a proc- lamation in observance of this week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 10 through October 16, 2004, as National School Lunch Week. I call upon all Americans to join the dedicated individuals who administer the National School Lunch Program in appropriate activities that support the health and well-being of our Nation’s children. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand four, and of the Inde- pendence of the United States of America the two hundred and twen- ty-ninth. GEORGE W. BUSH Proclamation 7832 of October 15, 2004 National Mammography Day, 2004 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Approximately one in seven women in the United States will develop breast cancer over her lifetime. Mammograms are critical for early de- tection of breast cancer and remain the most effective screening tool available today. Many women who develop breast cancer have no his- tory of the disease in their families, and except for growing older, most have no strong risk factors. Regular mammogram screening, along with a clinical breast exam by a medical professional, can help identify breast cancer in its earliest stages when it is most treatable. On Na- tional Mammography Day, we underscore the importance of this life- saving technology. The National Cancer Institute and the United States Preventive Serv- ices Task Force recommend a mammogram every 1 to 2 years for women age 40 and over. Strict guidelines help to ensure that mammo- grams are administered with the lowest possible doses of radiation by the best-trained medical staff. Scientists continue to study ways to im- prove mammograms and other screening technologies, and this re- search promises to make screening even more accurate and further re- duce the number of breast cancer deaths.
