From The American Presidency Project, Proclamation 5013— National Inventors’ Day, 1983: (https:// www.presidency.ucsb. edu/documents/proclamation- 5013-nat ional-inventors-day-1983) “Almost two hundred years ago, President George Washington recognized that invention and innovation were fundamental to the welfare and strength of the United States. He successfully urged the First Congress to enact a patent statute as expressly authorized by the U.S. Constitution and wisely advised that ‘there is nothing which can better deserve your patronage than the promotion of science . . .’ In 1790, the first patent statute initiated the transformation of the United States from an importer of technology to a world leader in technological innovation.

I say, let’s knuckle down, quit fretting over what we don’t have and make the most of all the opportunities which abound us right here in good ole Corning, Arkansas.
