Small Business Week, 1971
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
The American tradition of independent enterprise is as old as
our society itself. The freemen who tended little stores, ran
coastwise shipping, traded in furs, or made candles helped
this tradition put down deep roots early in our history. “What
most astonishes me,” wrote de Tocqueville as he took the
measure of our young nation in the 1830’s, “is not so much
the marvelous grandeur of some undertakings as the innumer
able multitude of small ones.” From such beginnings, small
business has grown into one of the principal economic forces
in this, the world’s greatest industrial nation.
Today--its name aslde--small business is BIG. Nineteen
United States firms in twenty are small businesses. They do
nearly three-fourths of the total volume of sales and one-third
of all manufacturing.
For the industry and resourcefulness
which millions of Americans invest in them as owners and em
ployees, they return not only profits but also the rich rewards
of self-reliance. They contribute to the wide diversity of our
society and our economy, and they offer members of dis
advantaged minority groups an open door into full partici
pation in the Nation’s prosperity--a door through which black
Americans, Spanish-speaking Americans, Indians, and other
minority enterprisers are now passing in increasing numbers.
But if small business is to realize its full potential in the years
ahead, it needs and deserves wholehearted support from citi
zens and the business community as a whole, as well as the
strong encouragement it already receives from government.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the
United States of America, do hereby designate the week be
ginning May 16, 1971, as Small Business Week. I ask all
Americans and their business organizations to join with me
during this week in paying tribute to the accomplishments of
small business and in helping small business toward continued
strength and success.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
eighth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred
seventy-one, and of the Independence of the United States of
America the one hundred ninety-fifth.

LETTER
T O
EDITOR
LDS Workshop
Editor, The Journal:
Since 1942 Eastern Oregon
has been my home and the
history of its great acres is an
epic saga of rugged pioneering.
The struggle against a long
established wild habitat should
be blazoned on a wall for every
“Johnny-come-lately” to read.
This fair land was reclaimed
by long days of back breaking
labor done by men, women and
children. There were no con
veniences, no abundant foods,
no free doctors. Welfare was
non-existant. Few families had
a well in the yard.
As I sat in that ultra-mo
dern school room, where the
salt of the community were met
in an honest effort to bring
order out of chaos by nomi
nating an elective board to ad
minister migrant affairs, all
about me was the blood of these
same pioneers who had made
this earth’s productivity pos
sible. The very heart beat of
our present security.
We are asking what legal au
thority holds this consensus of
public opinion in contempt? La
bel it not legal? Why may we
be forced to submit to a juris
diction of another state being
administered in a third state?
Does our constitution support
this, or does the whole business
smack of the Boston Tea Party?
Are we to accept a silent part
nership in a movement that
has its loud voice?
We understand the Federal
Government has alloted a goodly
sum of money to finance this
project. What portion of this
will reach our state? Since
when has the proud State of
Oregon needed baby sitters in
an alien state? From what our
friends tell us Boise should have
its hands full keeping their tax
payers smiling. Were we
correct in that a “sugar tit” was
tendered us - “one may apply
for a seat on the board.” This
is akin to asking the holder to
surrender the goose that lays
the golden egg.
Federal funds are used on
our highways and parks. Can
we be sure our state is left
to administer them? Think well
on these matters.
