I am greatly encouraged that Prime Ministers Blair and Ahern have
announced that their intensive talks in Belfast over the past 2 days
have made progress, providing a sound basis for restoring the political
institutions and achieving full implementation of the Good Friday
accord. I urge the parties and paramilitary organizations to seize this
opportunity to realize these goals in order to secure lasting peace for
the people of Northern Ireland. The United States remains prepared to
assist in any way we can.

Proclamation 7304--Global Science and Technology Week, 2000
May 5, 2000
By the President of the United States
of America
A Proclamation
At its core, science is an international endeavor. The fundamental
workings of nature--the function of a gene, the quantum behavior of
matter and energy, the chemistry of the atmosphere--are not the sole
province of any one nation. At the same time, many of the greatest
challenges our Nation faces are of global concern. Issues such as
poverty, disease, pollution, and sustainable energy production transcend
national boundaries, and their solutions require international
collaboration. With the advent of the Internet and the revolution in
communications technology, such cooperation is more achievable--and more
productive--than ever before.
In recent years, America has participated in numerous scientific
endeavors that illustrate the feasibility and the benefits of
international cooperation. For example, as one of 16 participating
nations, we are advancing the frontiers of space exploration through a
partnership to build the International Space Station. Working together
in the unique environment of space, we will strive to solve crucial
problems in medicine and ecology and lay the foundations for developing
space-based commerce.
We are also participating in an international scientific effort to
map and sequence all human chromosomes. With the completion of the Human
Genome Project, we will have unprecedented knowledge about the cause of
such genetic diseases as muscular dystrophy and Alzheimer's and greater
hope of preventing them in the future.
Since the 1980s, under the auspices of the United Nations
Environment Program and the World Meteorological Organization, American
scientists have been working with hundreds of scientists around the
world to identify, understand, and raise public awareness about the
threat to our planet's ozone layer. Our collaborative efforts have led
to an international agreement to eliminate nearly all production of
offending chemicals in industrialized countries and to work to reduce
their production in developing countries.
Our Nation continues to reap rewards from these and other important
international scientific efforts. We benefit enormously from the large
and growing international scientific community within our borders. For
generations, the world's brightest scientists have come to our country
to study and conduct research, and many choose to remain here
permanently. From Albert Einstein to four of this year's Nobel
laureates, foreign-born scientists in America have made
[[Page 1022]]
extraordinary contributions to science and technology and have played a
vital role in the unprecedented prosperity and economic growth we have
experienced in recent years.
The great French scientist Louis Pasteur noted more than a century
ago that ``science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to
humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world.'' During Global
Science and Technology Week, America joins the world community in
celebrating the immeasurable benefits we have enjoyed from international
scientific collaboration and looks forward to a future of even greater
achievements.
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United
States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the
Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 7 to
May 13, 2000, as Global Science and Technology Week. I call upon
students, educators, and all the people of the United States to learn
more about the international nature of science and technology and the
contributions that international scientists have made to our Nation's
progress and prosperity.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of
May, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the Independence of
the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-fourth.
William J. Clinton
[Filed with the Office of the Federal Register, 8:45 a.m., May 10,
2000]
