In recognition of the 
 
 PRESIDENTIAL 
 
 DESIGN AWARD 
 
 WINNERS 
 
 THE WHITE HOUSE 
 
 Thursday, October 30, 1997 
 
As the largest producer and consumer of designed 
 goods and services in the world, the United States is 
 committed to the highest standards of design excel- 
 lence. Well-designed products, services, and commu- 
 nications bring economy, safety, ease, and beauty to 
 our everyday lives. Design reaches into every sector of 
 society and can even transform the way government 
 works. 
 
 By recognizing government agencies, federal employ- 
 ees, and private designers, the Presidential Design 
 Awards promote awareness of the many ways design 
 can make government better serve the American peo- 
 ple. I commend the recipients of this year's awards for 
 helping to enhance the quality of life in our nation. 
 Your work exemplifies the ingenuity, creativity, and 
 skill that has always defined the American Spirit.
