The text of the proclamation is below.
PROCLAMATION
In his life and work, Steve Jobs embodied the California dream. To call him influential would be an understatement. His innovations transformed an industry, and the products he conceived and shepherded to market have changed the way the entire world communicates. Most importantly, his vision helped put powerful technologies, once the exclusive domain of big business and government, in the hands of ordinary consumers. We have only just begun to see the outpouring of creativity and invention that this democratization of technology has made possible.
It is fitting that we mark this day to honor his life and achievements as a uniquely Californian visionary. He epitomized the spirit of a state that an eager world watches to see what will come next.
NOW THEREFORE I, EDMUND G. BROWN JR., Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim October 16, 2011, as “Steve Jobs Day.”
IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this 16th day of October 2011.

These export assistance programs aid companies in entering foreign markets and financing overseas promotional activities, as well as expanding commercial export markets for U.S. agricultural products.
“California has a significant role in the world economy – providing a wide variety of food and agricultural products to foreign markets which helps to meet global food demands,” said CDFA Secretary Karen Ross. “I encourage companies to access these important programs to assist in developing export markets for their products.”
In 2009, California exported $12.4 billion in agricultural products to more than 150 countries. Leading export products included almonds, rice, wine, pistachios and walnuts.
The top destinations for California agricultural products included Canada, the European Union, Japan, China/Hong Kong and Mexico.
On average, California farmers and ranchers export 22 percent of the products that they produce.
Opportunities for California agriculture exporters include the following.
2012 Branded Program
The Western United States Agricultural Trade Association (WUSATA) has announced the availability of applications for the 2012 Branded Program.
