                Proclamation 9769 of July 25, 2018

                
Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities 
                Act, 2018

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                On the 28th anniversary of the Americans with 
                Disabilities Act (ADA), we celebrate this historic 
                legislation, which echoed our Nation's founding promise 
                to recognize and secure the equal rights of all men and 
                women. Today, we reaffirm our commitment to cultivate 
                further opportunities for all Americans to live full 
                and independent lives, and recognize the many 
                contributions enabled by expanded participation of 
                Americans with disabilities in our society.

                President George H.W. Bush signed the ADA into law on 
                July 26, 1990. It has transformed the lives of millions 
                of Americans living with disabilities by promoting 
                their equal access to employment, government services, 
                public accommodations, commercial facilities, and 
                public transportation. Today, people of all ages with 
                disabilities are better able to thrive in the 
                community, pursue careers, contribute to our economy, 
                and fully participate in American society.

                Our Nation must continue to build upon this foundation 
                and continue to further the participation of the more 
                than 56 million Americans living with disabilities. My 
                Administration continues to encourage research that 
                will lead to advancements in technology, medicine, and 
                other fields and better enable independent living. We 
                are also expanding and promoting equal education and 
                employment opportunities for Americans with 
                disabilities to live and work. In this regard, in June 
                of last year, I signed an Executive Order to develop 
                more apprenticeship programs for all people, including 
                those with disabilities. Additional training will 
                encourage better involvement from businesses and allow 
                people with disabilities to contribute meaningfully to 
                a wide variety of industries.

                As we commemorate the anniversary of the ADA, we 
                recommit ourselves to fostering an environment in which 
                all Americans have the opportunity to pursue the 
                American Dream.

                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 July 26, 2018, as a 
                day in celebration of the 28th Anniversary of the 
                Americans with Disabilities Act. I call upon all 
                Americans to observe this day with appropriate 
                ceremonies and activities that celebrate the 
                contributions of Americans with disabilities and to 
                renew our commitment to achieving the promise of our 
                freedom for all Americans.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

                thousand eighteen, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
