                Proclamation 9661 of October 13, 2017

                
National Forest Products Week, 2017

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During National Forest Products Week, we recognize the 
                invaluable contribution forest products make to our 
                daily lives, the forest products industry's importance 
                to our economy, and the incredible beauty and 
                recreational opportunities provided by our Nation's 
                woodlands. This year, many of our forests and 
                surrounding communities face blazing wildfires, so we 
                also pray for the safety of our people, our first 
                responders, and our forest habitats.

                Our Nation is blessed with millions of acres of 
                forested lands. These lands produce abundant renewable 
                and sustainable natural resources that support our 
                economy. They provide 2.4 million jobs, primarily in 
                rural communities across America, and produce products 
                that help improve our everyday lives. Whether we are 
                writing a note, building a home, or sending a delivery, 
                paper and wood products enable us to do our jobs and 
                live comfortable lives.

                America's thriving forest products market helps protect 
                and preserve our abundant forests for future 
                generations. Demand for forest products encourages 
                landowners to replant and maintain healthy forests, 
                knowing that through proper stewardship and responsible 
                management, our precious forests will continue to 
                contribute to our economic prosperity and quality of 
                life.

                During National Forest Products Week, we acknowledge 
                and celebrate the many uses of our parks, forests, and 
                woodlands, and we honor the dedicated Americans who 
                work to ensure our forests remain productive and 
                magnificent for future generations.

                Recognizing the economic value of the products yielded 
                in our Nation's forests, the Congress, by Public Law 
                86-753 (36 U.S.C. 123), as amended, has designated the 
                week beginning on the third Sunday in October of each 
                year as ``National Forest Products Week'' and has 
                authorized and requested the President to issue a 
                proclamation in observance of this week.

                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 October 15 through 
                October 21, 2017, as National Forest Products Week. I 
                call upon all Americans to observe this week with 
                appropriate ceremonies and activities and to reaffirm 
                our commitment to our Nation's forests.

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