RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5355 of June 26, 1985

Helen Keller Deaf-Blind Awareness Week, 1985 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The sights and sounds of the world around us are among the gifts we cherish most. But for approximately 40,000 Americans who are both deaf and blind, seeing and hearing exist only as dreams. Through an accident of birth or illness, these men and women may never gaze at the splendor of a spring garden or listen to the voices of their loved ones.
