                Proclamation 9783 of September 13, 2018

                
National Hispanic Heritage Month, 2018

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During National Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor all 
                American citizens of Hispanic descent and celebrate 
                their rich and vibrant traditions of faith, family, 
                hard work, and patriotism. We are grateful for the 
                innumerable contributions they make to our society, 
                which are vital to our thriving Nation. We are 
                especially grateful for the 1.2 million Hispanic-
                American men and women who have answered the call to 
                serve in our Armed Forces, demonstrating remarkable 
                loyalty, bravery, and dedication to duty.

                My Administration is continuing to create an 
                environment in which all our citizens have the 
                opportunity to achieve the American Dream. We have 
                enacted massive tax cuts for families and businesses, 
                which means more jobs and better pay. We are 
                eliminating unnecessary and burdensome regulations that 
                constrain our entrepreneurial spirit. We are finally 
                fixing our Nation's broken trade deals so that we have 
                free, fair, and reciprocal trade. As a result of our 
                efforts, our Nation's unemployment rate has reached its 
                lowest level in 50 years, and the Hispanic-American 
                unemployment and poverty rates have dropped to their 
                lowest rates on record.

                Hispanic Americans help reinforce our relationship with 
                our Latin American neighbors as we work to bolster 
                liberty in the region and achieve free and fair trade 
                with our regional partners. In April, Vice President 
                Mike Pence joined leaders from the Pan-American region 
                at the Summit of the Americas to affirm our collective 
                commitment to liberty and government accountability and 
                to confronting threats to freedom in places such as 
                Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua. We will continue to 
                collaborate with Latin American and Caribbean countries 
                to strengthen our trade relationships and to ensure a 
                freer and more secure hemisphere.

                For generations, Hispanic Americans have played a 
                pivotal role in our country's strength and prosperity. 
                Their spirit, energy, and leadership are woven into the 
                culture of America, and enrich all our lives. To honor 
                the achievements of Hispanic Americans, the Congress, 
                by Public Law 100-402, as amended, has authorized and 
                requested the President to issue annually a 
                proclamation designating September 15 through October 
                15 as ``National Hispanic Heritage Month.''

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim September 15 through 
                October 15, 2018, as National Hispanic Heritage Month. 
                I call upon public officials, educators, librarians, 
                and all Americans to observe this month with 
                appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                thirteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord 
                two thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                third.
