I have reviewed the reports and recommendations presented to me by you and the Secretary of State that recognition be given to the proposed “Expo 2027 Minnesota – Healthy People, Healthy Planet:  Wellness and Well-Being for All,” and find that such recognition will be in the national interest.

I approve granting Federal recognition to the proposed Exposition.

On that basis, please advise the appropriate agencies and organizations that official recognition is hereby granted.

I would also appreciate your taking the appropriate steps to notify the Congress of this action, in accordance with section 2(c) of Public Law 91-269.

JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.
