                Proclamation 9577 of March 6, 2017

                
National Consumer Protection Week, 2017

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                The economic strength and vitality of our Nation is 
                directly linked to our consumers' confidence in the 
                integrity and security of their personal information 
                and the robust protection of their privacy. As an 
                increasing number of transactions and activities occur 
                online, the safety of vital consumer information is 
                increasingly at risk. The American people deserve 
                freedom from unscrupulous actors who perpetrate 
                identity theft, abuse personal information, or engage 
                in fraud.

                Cyber crimes, which defraud hard-working Americans, 
                cost our families billions of dollars each year and 
                result in tremendous stress, loss of time, and 
                hardship. Americans must have access to the tools 
                necessary to protect their personal information and 
                privacy and know how to use them to improve their 
                online security. Our first defense against fraudulent 
                cyber transactions and the misuse of personal 
                information will always be a well-informed consumer.

                National Consumer Protection Week reminds us of the 
                importance of empowering consumers by helping them to 
                more capably identify and report cyber scams, monitor 
                their online privacy and security, and make well-
                informed decisions. The Federal Government, in 
                conjunction with a network of national organizations 
                and State and local partners, provides consumer 
                education resources to help Americans protect their 
                personal information. These resources assist military 
                service members and their families, identity-theft 
                victims, and all potentially vulnerable consumers. Our 
                work to protect consumers from identity theft, abuse of 
                personal information, and fraud, and to improve the 
                integrity and security of our marketplaces, enhances 
                the prosperity of our great country.

                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 March 5 through March 
                11, 2017, as National Consumer Protection Week. I call 
                upon government officials, industry leaders, and 
                advocates to educate our citizens about the protection 
                of personal information and identity theft through 
                consumer education activities in communities across the 
                country.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                sixth day of March, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand seventeen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                first.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
