If the Secretary determines that carryover stocks are excessive or an increase in stocks is needed to assure a desirable carryover, he may adjust the allotment by the amount he determines will accomplish the desired decrease or increase in carryover stocks.

81 Stat. 445.

22 USC 2151.

 In section 102— (A) insert “(a)” immediately after “Statement of Policy.—”; and (B) add at the end thereof the following: “(b) The Congress further finds and declares that, with the help of United States economic assistance, progress has been made in creating a base for the economic progress of the less developed countries. At the same time, the conditions which shaped the United States foreign assistance program in the past have changed. While the United States must continue to seek increased cooperation and mutually beneficial relations with other nations, our relations with the less developed countries must be revised to reflect the new realities. In restructuring our relationships with these countries, the President should place appropriate emphasis on the following criteria: “(1) Bilateral development aid should concentrate increasingly on sharing American technical expertise, farm commodities, and industrial goods to meet critical development problems, and less on large-scale capital transfers, which when made should be in association with contributions from other industrialized countries working together in a multilateral framework. “(2) Future United States bilateral support for development should focus on critical problems in those functional sectors which affect the lives of the majority of the people in the developing countries: food production; rural development and nutrition; population planning and health; and education, public administration, and human resource development. “(3) United States cooperation in development should be carried out to the maximum extent possible through the private sector, including those institutions which already have ties in the developing areas, such as educational institutions, cooperatives, credit unions, and voluntary agencies. “(4) Development planning must be the responsibility of each sovereign country. United States assistance should be administered in a collaborative style to support the development goals chosen by each country receiving assistance. “(6) United States bilateral development assistance should give the highest priority to undertakings submitted by host governments which directly improve the lives of the poorest of their people and their capacity to participate in the development of their countries. “(6) The economic and social development programs to which the United States lends support should reflect, to the maximum extent practicable, the role of United States private investment in such economic and social development programs. 87 Stat. 715 “(7) Under the policy guidance of the Secretary of State, the agency primarily responsible for administering this part should have the responsibility for coordinating all United States development-related activities.” (3) At the end thereof, add the following new sections:

(e) Similarity of Appearance Cases.—The Secretary may, by regulation, and to the extent he deems advisable, treat any species as an endangered species or threatened species even though it is not listed pursuant to section 4 of this Act if he finds that— (A) such species so closely resembles hi appearance, at the point in question, a species which has been listed pursuant to such section that enforcement personnel would have substantial difficulty in attempting to differentiate between the listed and unlisted species; (B) the effect of this substantial difficulty is an additional threat to an endangered or threatened species; and (C) such treatment of an unlisted species will substantially facilitate the enforcement and further the policy of this Act. (f) Regulations.— (1) Except as provided in paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subsection and subsection (b) of this section, the pro-visions of section 553 of title 5, United States Code (relating to rule-making procedures), shall apply to any regulation promulgated to carry out the purposes of this Act.

78 Stat. 701.

715s). (c) Cooperative Agreements.—In furtherance of the purposes of tins Act, the Secretary is authorized to enter into a cooperative agreement in accordance with this section with any State which establishes and maintains an adequate and active program for the conservation of endangered species and threatened species. Within one hundred and twenty days after the Secretary receives a certified copy of such a pro-posed State program, he shall make a determination whether such program is in accordance with this Act. Unless he determines, pursuant to this subsection, that the State program is not in accordance with this Act, he shall enter into a cooperative agreement with the State for the purpose of assisting in implementation of the State program. In order for a State program to be deemed an adequate and active program for the conservation of endangered species and threatened species, the Secretary must find, and annually thereafter reconfirm such finding, that under the State program— (1) authority resides in the State agency to conserve resident species of fish or wildlife determined by the State agency or the Secretary to be endangered or threatened; (2) the State agency has established acceptable conservation programs, consistent with the purposes and policies of this Act, for all resident species of fish or wildlife in the State which are deemed by the Secretary to be endangered or threatened, and has furnished a copy of such plan and program together with all pertinent details, information, and data requested to the Secretary; (3) the State agency is authorized to conduct investigations to determine the status and requirements for survival of resident species of fish and wildlife; (4) the State agency is authorized to establish programs, including the acquisition of land or aquatic habitat or interests therein, for the conservation of resident endangered species or threatened species; and (5) provision is made for public participation in designating resident species of fish or wildlife as endangered or threatened. (e) Allocation of Funds.— (1) The Secretary is authorized to provide financial assistance to any State, through its respective State agency, which has entered into a cooperative agreement pursuant to subsection (c) of this section to assist in development of programs for the conservation of endangered and threatened species. The Secretary shall make an allocation of appropriated funds to such States based on consideration of— (A) the international commitments of the United States to protect endangered species or threatened species; (B) the readiness of a State to proceed with a conservation program consistent with the objectives and purposes of this Act; (C) the number of endangered species and threatened species within a State; (D) the potential for restoring endangered species and threatened species within a State; and (E) the relative urgency to initiate a program to restore and protect an endangered species or threatened species in terms of survival of the species. So much of any appropriated funds allocated for obligation to any State for any fiscal year as remains unobligated at the close thereof is 87 Stat. 891authorized to be made available to that State until the close of the succeeding fiscal year. Any amount allocated to any State which is unobligated at the end of the period during which it is available for expenditure is authorized to lie made available for expenditure by the Secretary in conducting programs under this section. (2) Such cooperative agreements shall provide for (A) the actions to be taken by the Secretary and the States; (B) the benefits that are expected to be derived in connection with the conservation of endangered or threatened species; (C) the estimated cost of these actions; and (T9) the share of such costs to be borne by the Federal Government and by the States: except that— (i) the Federal share of such program costs shall not exceed 66% per centum of the estimated program cost stated in the agreement; and (ii) the Federal share may be increased to 75 per centum when-ever two or more States having a common interest in one or more endangered or threatened species, the conservation of which may be enhanced by cooperation of such States, enter jointly into an agreement with the Secretary. The Secretary may, in his discretion, and under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe, advance funds to the State for financing the United States pro rata share agreed upon in the cooperative agreement. For the purposes of this section, the non-Federal share may, in the discretion of the Secretary, be in the form of money or real property, the value of which will be determined by the Secretary, whose decision shall be final. (e) Review of State Programs.—Any action taken by the Secretary under this section shall be subject to his periodic review at no greater than annual intervals. (f) Conflicts Between Federal and State Laws.—Any State law or regulation which applies with respect to the importation or exportation of, or interstate or foreign commerce in, endangered species or threatened species is void to the extent that it may effectively (1) permit what is prohibited by this Act or by any regulation which implements this Act, or (2) prohibit what is authorized pursuant to an exemption or permit provided for in this Act or in any regulation which implements this Act. This Act shall not otherwise be construed to void any State law or regulation which is intended to conserve migratory, resident, or introduced fish or wildlife, or to permit or prohibit sale of such fish or wildlife. Any State law or regulation respecting the taking of an endangered species or threatened species may be more restrictive than the exemptions or permits provided for in this Act or in any regulation which implements this Act but not less restrictive than the prohibitions so defined.

The Secretary’s finding and publication may be made without regard to the public hearing or comment provisions of section 553

80 Stat. 383.

of title 5, United States Code, or any other provision of this Act; but such prohibition shall expire 90 days after the date of its imposition unless the Secretary further extends such prohibition by publishing notice and a statement of justification of such extension.

December 31, 1973

[H. R. 8449]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That this Act may

Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973.

be cited as the “Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973”.
findings and declaration of purpose Sec. 2. (a) The Congress finds that— (1) annual losses throughout the Nation from floods and mud-slides are increasing at an alarming rate, largely as a result of the accelerating development of, and concentration of population in, areas of flood and mudslide hazards; (2) the availability of Federal loans, grants, guaranties, insurance, and other forms of financial assistance are often determining factors in the utilization of land and the location and construction of public and of private industrial, commercial, and residential facilities; (3) property acquired or constructed with grants or other Federal assistance may be exposed to risk of loss through floods, thus frustrating the purpose for which such assistance was extended; (4) Federal instrumentalities insure or otherwise provide financial protection to banking and credit institutions whose assets include a substantial number of mortgage loans and other indebtedness secured by property exposed to loss and damage from floods and mudslides; 87 Stat. 976 (5) the Nation cannot afford the tragic losses of life caused annually by flood occurrences, nor the increasing losses of property suffered by flood victims, most of whom are still inadequately compensated despite the provision of costly disaster relief benefits; and (6) it is in the public interest for persons already living in flood-prone areas to have both an opportunity to purchase flood insurance and access to more adequate limits of coverage, so that they will be indemnified for their losses in the event of future flood disasters. (b) The purpose of this Act, therefore, is to— (1) substantially increase the limits of coverage authorized under the national flood insurance program; (2) provide for the expeditious identification of, and the dissemination of information concerning, flood-prone areas; (3) require States or local communities, as a condition of future Federal financial assistance, to participate in the flood insurance program and to adopt adequate flood plain ordinances with effective enforcement provisions consistent with Federal standards to reduce or avoid future flood losses; and (4) require the purchase of flood insurance by property owners who are being assisted by Federal programs or by federally supervised, regulated, or insured agencies or institutions in the acquisition or improvement of land or facilities located or to be located in identified areas having special flood hazards.
definitions Sec. 3. (a) As used in this Act, unless the context otherwise requires, the term— (1) “community” means a State or a political subdivision thereof which has zoning and building code jurisdiction over a particular area having special flood hazards; (2) “Federal agency” means any department, agency, corporation, or other entity or instrumentality of the executive branch of the Federal Government, and includes the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation; (3) “financial assistance” means any form of loan, grant, guaranty, insurance, payment, rebate, subsidy, disaster assistance loan or grant, or any other form of direct or indirect Federal assistance, other than general or special revenue sharing or formula grants made to States; 87 Stat. 977 (4) “financial assistance for acquisition or construction purposes” means any form of financial assistance which is intended in whole or in part for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction. repair, or improvement of any publicly or privately owned building or mobile home, and for any machinery, equipment, fixtures, and furnishings contained or to be contained therein, and shall include the purchase or subsidization of mortgages or mortgage loans but shall exclude assistance for emergency work essential for the protection and preservation of life and property performed pursuant to the Disaster Relief Act of 1970 or any

84 Stat. 1744.

42 USC 4401 note.

subsequent Act of Congress which supersedes or modifies the Disaster Relief Act of 1970; (5) “Federal instrumentality responsible for the supervision, approval, regulation, or insuring of banks, savings and loan associations. or similar institutions” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Home Loan Bank Board, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, and the National Credit Union Administration; and (6) “Secretary” means the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, (b) The Secretary is authorized to define or redefine, by rules and regulations, any scientific or technical term used in this Act insofar as such definition is not inconsistent with the purposes of this Act.

87 Stat. 986
declaration of policy Sec. 101. (a) Findings.— The Congress finds and declares that— (1) Essential rail service in the midwest and northeast region of the United States is provided by railroads which are today insolvent and attempting to undergo reorganization under the

30 Stat. 544.

11 USC 1 note.

 Bankruptcy Act. (2) This essential rail service is threatened with cessation or significant curtailment because of the inability of the trustees of such railroads to formulate acceptable plans of reorganization. This rail service is operated over rail properties which were acquired for a public use, but which have been permitted to deteriorate and now require extensive rehabilitation and modernization. (3) The public convenience and necessity require adequate and efficient rail service in this region and throughout the Nation to meet the needs of commerce, the national defense, the environment, and the service requirements of passengers, United States mail, shippers, States and their political subdivisions, and consumers. (4) Continuation and improvement of essential rail service in this region is also necessary’ to preserve and maintain adequate national rail services and an efficient national rail transportation system. (5) Rail service and rail transportation offer economic and environmental advantages with respect to land use, air pollution, noise levels, energy efficiency and conservation, resource allocation, safety, and cost per ton-mile of movement to such extent that the preservation and maintenance of adequate and efficient rail service is in the national interest. (6) These needs cannot be met without substantial action by the Federal Government. (b) Purposes.— It is therefore declared to be the purpose of Congress in this Act to provide for— (1) the identification of a rail service system in the midwest and northeast region which is adequate to meet the needs and service requirements of this region and of the national rail transportation system; (2) the reorganization of railroads in this region into an economically viable system capable of providing adequate and efficient rail service to the region; (3) the establishment of the United States Railway Association, with enumerated powers and responsibilities; (4) the establishment of the Consolidated Rail Corporation, with enumerated powers and responsibilities; (5) assistance to States and local and regional transportation authorities for continuation of local rail services threatened with cessation; and . (6) necessary Federal financial assistance at the lowest possible cost to the general taxpayer.

D.C. Board of Public Welfare.

Adoption of children.

 11 of the Act entitled “An Act to establish a Board of Public Welfare in and for the District, of Columbia, to determine its functions, and for other purposes”, approved March 16, 1926 (D.C. Code, sec. 3–114), is amended to read as follows:

44 Stat. 210

 87 Stat. 1058
“Sec. 11. The Commissioner of the District of Columbia (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Commissioner’) may— “(1) make temporary provision for the care of children pending investigation of their status; “(2) have the care and legal guardianship, including the power to consent to or arrange for adoption in appropriate eases, of— “(A) children who may be committed to the Commissioner as wards of the District of Columbia by courts of competent jurisdiction; and “(B) children who are relinquished by their parents to the Commissioner or whose relinquishment is transferred to the Commissioner by a licensed child-placing agency under section 6 of the Act entitled ‘An Act to regulate the placing of children in family homes, and for other purposes’,

58 Stat. 194; 84 Stat. 578.

 approved April 22, 1944 (D.C. Code, sec. 32–786); and “(3) make such provision for the care and maintenance of such children in private homes, under contract, including adoption subsidy pursuant to section 3 of the Act of July 26, 1892 (D.C. Code,

27 Stat. 269.

 sec. 3–115), or in public or private institutions, as the welfare of such children may require; and “(4) provide care and maintenance for substantially retarded children who may be received upon application or upon court commitment, in institutions or homes or other facilities equipped to receive them, within or without the District of Columbia. The Commissioner shall cause the wards of the District of Columbia placed out under temporary rare to be visited as often as may be required to safeguard their welfare.
(2) Section 3 of the Act of July 26, 1892 (D.C. Code, sec. 3–115), is amended to read as follows:
“Sec. 3. (a) Except as provided in subsection (f), the Commissioner may conclude arrangements with persons or institutions at such rates as may be agreed upon. “(b)

Adoption subsidy payments.

 (1) The Commissioner may make adoption subsidy payments to an adoptive family (irrespective of the State of residence of the family), as needed, on behalf of a child with special needs, where such child would in all likelihood go without adoption except, for the acceptance of the child as a member of the adoptive family, and where the. adoptive family has the capability of providing the permanent family relationships needed by such child in all areas except financial, as determined by the Commissioner. Subsidy payments may be made under this section only pursuant to a subsidy payment agreement entered into by the Commissioner and the adoptive parents concerned prior to completion of the adoptive process, but subsidy payments may be made before such adoption becomes final. “(2) For the purposes of this subsection— “(A)

“Child with special needs.”

 The term ‘child with special needs’ includes any child who is difficult to place in adoption because of age, race, or ethnic87 Stat. 1059 background, physical or mental condition, or membership in a sibling group winch should be. placed together. A child for whom an adoptive placement ‘has not. been made within six months after he is legally available for adoptive placement shall be considered a child with special needs within the meaning of this section. “(B) The term ‘adoptive family’ includes single persons.

“Adoptive family.”

 “(c) Any public agency or licensed child-placing agency, having a child with special needs in foster care or institutional care, or any foster parent having such a child in his home may recommend to the Commissioner a subsidy for the adoption of such child, and may include in the recommendation advice as to the appropriate level of payments and any other information likely to assist the Commissioner in carrying out the provisions of this section. The Commissioner shall make the determination as to whether or not an appropriate adoptive home exists for the child, but in so doing the Commissioner shall refer to the recommendations of the referring agency. If the Commissioner concludes that the child referred is a child with special needs within the meaning of this section, and that an appropriate adoptive home exists for the child, the Commissioner is authorized to enter into a tentative adoption subsidy agreement with the prospective adoptive family, and upon entering into such an agreement, the Commissioner may accept a transfer of relinquishment of parental rights from the referring agency pursuant to section 6 of the Act entitled ‘An Act to regulate the placing of children in family homes, and for other purposes’, approved April 22, 1944 (D.C. Code, sec. 32–786).

58 Stat. 194; 84 Stat. 578.

 “(d) If a child in the custody of the Commissioner or a licensed child-placing agency has been in foster care or institutional care for at least six months after the child is considered legally available for adoptive placement, the Commissioner or agency shall inform the family or institution providing care of the possibility of financial aid for adoption under this section. If the family caring for the prospective adoptee applies to the Commissioner for adoption of the child, and if it appears to the Commissioner after study that the family would be an appropriate adoptive family for the child but for the family’s economic inability to meet the child’s needs, the Commissioner shall enter into a tentative agreement with the family concerning the amount and duration of a proposed subsidy in the event the child is placed for adoption with that family. Thereafter the Commissioner may accept a transfer of relinquishment of parental rights from the referring agency in appropriate cases. The Commissioner shall in all cases take all steps necessary to assist the family in completing the legal and procedural requirements necessary to effectuate the adoption, including payment for legal fees and court costs. “(e) The amount and duration of adoption subsidy payments may

Payments, amount and duration.

 vary according to the special needs of the child, and may include, maintenance costs, medical, dental, and surgical expenses, psychiatric and psychological expenses, and other costs necessary for his care and well-being. A subsidy may be paid on a long-term basis to help a family whose income is limited and is likely to remain so; on a time-limited basis to help a family meet the cost of integrating a child into the. family over a specified period of time; or on a special services basis to help a family meet a specific anticipated expense or expenses when no other resource appears to be available. Eligibility for payments shall continue until the child reaches eighteen years of age. “(f) The Commissioner is authorized to make payments under this

Authorization.

 section from appropriations for the care of children in foster homes and institutions, and to seek and accept funds from other sources including Federal, private, and other public funding sources, to carry87 Stat. 1060 out the purposes of this section. The amount expended by the Commissioner for any subsidy may not exceed the highest amount the Commissioner would be authorized to spend in providing or securing support and special services for the child if the child were in the legal custody of the Commissioner. There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as are necessary to carry out the purposes of this section. “(g) No adoption subsidy payment shall be made on behalf of any child with respect, to whom an adoption decree has been entered by the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, pursuant to chapter 3 of

D.C. Code 16–301.

 title 16 of the District of Columbia Code, prior to the effective date of this section. “(h) Once dining each calendar year the Commissioner shall review the need for continuing each family’s subsidy. At the time of such review and at other times dining the year when changed conditions, including variations in medical opinions, prognosis, and costs are deemed by the Commissioner to warrant such action, appropriate adjustments in payments shall be made based upon changes in the needs of the child. Any parent who is a party to a subsidy agreement may at any time in writing request, for reasons set forth in the request, a review of the amount of any payment or the level of continuing payments. Such review shall be begun not later than thirty days from the receipt, of the request. Any adjustment may be made retroactive to the date the request was received by the Commissioner. If the request is not acted on within thirty days after it has been received by the Commissioner, or if the Commissioner modifies or terminates an agreement without the concurrence of all parties, any party to the agreement shall be entitled to a hearing under the applicable provisions of the District of Columbia Administrative

82 Stat. 1204.

Recordkeeping.

 Procedure Act (D.C. Code, sees. 1–15111–1–1510). “(i) The Commissioner shall keep such records as are necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of adoption subsidy as a means of encouraging and promoting the adoption of children with special needs.

Information availability.

 The Commissioner shall make an annual progress report which shall be open to public inspection. The report shall include, but not be limited to— “(1) the, number of children placed in adoptive homes under subsidy agreements during the year preceding the annual report and the major characteristics of the children placed; and “(2) the member of children currently in foster care with the Commissioner for six months or more, and the legal status of those children. The Commissioner shall disseminate information to prospective adoptive families as to the availability of adoptable children mid of the existence of aid to families who qualify for a subsidy under this section. “(j) All rules and regulations adopted by the Commissioner pursuant to this Act shall be published in the District of Columbia Register as required by section 6 of the District of Columbia

“Sec. 5. The Commissioner may— “(1) accept for care, custody, and guardianship dependent or neglected children whose custody or parental control has been transferred to the Commissioner, and to provide for the care and support of such children during their minority or during the term of their commitment, including the initiation of adoption proceedings and the provision of subsidy in appropriate cases under

Code, sec. 32–786).”.

 Whereas the position of the United States in world fisheries has declined from first to sixth place among the major fishing nations; Whereas there has been a continuing decline in domestic production of food fish and shellfish for the last five years; Whereas our domestic fishing fleet in many areas has become obsolete and inefficient: Whereas intensive foreign fishing along our coasts has brought about declines in stocks of a number of species with resulting economic hardship to local domestic fishermen dependent upon such stocks; Whereas rising costs and extremely high insurance notes have made filling uneconomic in some areas even when stocks of fish and shell-fish are at normal levels; Whereas assistance to fishermen is very limited as contrasted to Federal aid to industrial, commercial, and agricultural interests; Whereas United States fishermen cannot successfully compete against imported fish products in the market because a number of foreign fishing countries subsidize their fishing industry to a greater extent; Whereas some 60 per centum of the seafood requirements of the United States is being supplied by imports: Whereas the United States fisheries and fishing industry is a valuable natural resource supplying employment and income to thousands of people in all of our coastal States;87 Stat. 1135 Whereas international negotiations so far have proved incapable of obtaining timely agreement on the protection of threatened species of fish ; Whereas our fisheries are beset with almost unsurmountable production and economic problems: and Whereas certain of our coastal stocks of fish an: being decimated by foreign fishing fleets: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate ( the House of Representatives concurring),
That it is the policy of the Congress that our fishing industry be afforded all support necessary to have it strengthened, and all steps be taken to provide adequate protection for our coastal fisheries against excessive foreign fishing, and further that the Congress is fully prepared to act immediately to provide interim measures to conserve overfished stocks and to protect our domestic fishing industry.
Sec. 2. The Congress also recognizes, encourages, and intends to support the key responsibilities of the several States for conservation and scientific management of fisheries resources within United States territorial waters: and in this context the Congress particularly commends Federal programs designed to improve coordinated protection, enhancement, and scientific management of all United States fisheries, including coastal, anadromous and highly migratory species, under such presently successful Federal aid programs under the Commercial Fisheries, Research and Development Act of 1964, and the

Thanksgiving Day, 1972 By the President of the United States of America

November 17, 1972

 A Proclamation

When the first settlers gathered to offer their thanks to the God who had protected them on the edge of a wilderness, they established anew on American shores a thanksgiving tradition as old as Western man himself.

From Moses at the Red Sea to Jesus preparing to feed the multitudes, the Scriptures summon us to words and deeds of gratitude, even before divine blessings are fully perceived. From Washington kneeling at Valley Forge to the prayer of an astronaut circling the moon, our own history repeats that summons and proves its practicality.

Today, in an age of too much fashionable despair, the world more than ever needs to hear America’s perennial harvest message: “Take heart! Give thanks! To see clearly about us is to rejoice; and to rejoice is to worship the Father; and to worship Him is to receive more blessings still.”

At this Thanksgiving time our country can look back with special gratitude across the events of a year which has brought more progress toward lasting peace than any other year for a generation past; and we can look forward with trust in Divine Providence toward the opportunities which peace will bring.

Truly our cup runs over with the bounty of God—our lives, our liberties, and our loved ones; our worldly goods and our spiritual heritage; the beauty of our land, the breadth of our horizons, and the promise of peace that crowns it all. For all of this, let us now humbly give thanks.

1139 87 Stat. 1140

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in consonance with Section 6103 of Title 5 of

80 Stat. 515; 82 Stat. 250.

the United States Code designating the fourth Thursday of November in each year as Thanksgiving Day, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 23, 1972, as a day of national thanksgiving. I call upon all Americans to assemble in homes and places of worship on this day, to join in offering gratitude for the countless blessings our people enjoy, and to embrace the elderly and less fortunate as special celebrants in the day’s events, loving them as we have been loved.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

National Farm-City Week, 1972

November 17, 1972

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The breadwinners of our national family—those whose hard work helps to provide the rest of us with food to eat and clothes to wear—are America’s nearly 3 million farmers.

American agriculture leads our own economy and the world in productivity. The bounty of our farms is an indispensable element in the steadily rising standard of living for our cities—indeed for every American community large or small. This is the strong bond of interdependence and mutual benefit which links farm people to city people throughout this country, and to peoples in other countries all over the globe, wherever the agricultural exports of our heartland alleviate hunger and so promote the cause of peace.

National Farm-City Week is an occasion for wider recognition of this interdependence and for new efforts to increase cooperation between farm and city people. It is a time for renewal of our commitment to balanced national growth and to assuring the farmer of a fair share in the national prosperity to which he contributes so much.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of November 17 through November 23, 1972, as National Farm-City Week. I encourage all citizens, especially leaders of agricultural organizations, 87 Stat. 1141business groups, labor unions, youth and women’s clubs, schools, and other interested groups, to participate in this observance. I urge the Department of Agriculture, land-grant educational institutions, and all appropriate organizations and Government officials to mark the significance of National Farm-City Week with special events and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

National Family Week By the President of the United States of America

November 18, 1972

 A Proclamation

As prospects brighten for a lasting peace in the world, we can hope to approach more closely the age-old ideal of a single, harmonious family of man.

As we work toward that great goal, however, we must never forget that our starting point—the center of our affections and the wellspring of our self-renewal—must be the basic family circle. Parent and child, husband and wife, brother and sister, all truly mean “home” to every human being.

No institution can ever take the family’s place in giving meaning to human life and a stable structure to society; indeed, as a wise philosopher observed thousands of years ago, “the root of the state is in the family.” The pressures of our modern age make this a time of challenge for families in America, but every community has its inspiring examples of families which have risen to the demand and made the time of challenge a time of glory.

Our long-cherished American observances of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are fittingly complemented by this new idea of a National Family Week, which this year will coincide with the Thanksgiving holiday—a time when families traditionally reunite, and when the family unit itself should stand high on that list of blessings for which we offer our thanks to God.

87 Stat. 1142

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in consonance with House Joint Resolution

86 Stat. 757.

Bill of Rights Day and Human Rights Day and Week

December 9, 1972

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The ink was barely dry on the Constitution of the United States of America in the autumn of 1787 when leading patriots and statesmen of the young Republic took up the cry for amendments affording written guarantees of basic human freedoms under the proposed national government. “A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth. . .” Thomas Jefferson wrote, “and what no just government should refuse or rest on inference.”

The idea that every individual was endowed by his Creator with rights no sovereign or majority could take away was thought dangerous and radical over much of the globe in those days, but it ran deep in the American grain even then. The very first Congress proposed a Bill

USC prec. title 1.

of Rights, and by 1791 its proposals had become the first ten amendments to our Constitution.

Since that time, exactly as James Madison predicted to Jefferson that they would do, “the political truths declared in that solemn manner (have acquired) by degrees the character of fundamental maxims of free government.” They have inspired our own Nation’s accelerating efforts to assure every American full equality and dignity before the 87 Stat. 1143law, and they have shone as a beacon for the rising aspirations of peoples around the world.

Finally in 1948, a little more than a century and a half after American freedoms were enshrined in the supreme law of this land, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was approved by the United Nations General Assembly to assert the inalienable liberties of all men and women in every land.

Symbolic of the common principles and shared spirit which link these two great charters is the fact that the anniversaries of their adoption occur less than one week apart each December. As we observe those anniversaries once again this year, let us gratefully take stock of the progress made in realizing the full promise of freedom for America and the world, and let us renew our commitment to continuing that progress during 1973.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim December 15, 1972, as Bill of Rights Day, and December 10, 1972, as Human Rights Day, and I call upon the American people to observe the week beginning December 10, 1972, as Human Rights Week. I ask every American to make this observance a time of rededication to the cherished values embodied in our Bill of Rights and in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Wright Brothers Day, 1972 By the President of the United States of America

December 9, 1972

 A Proclamation

In the spring of 1900, a bicycle maker named Wilbur Wright wrote to a friend: “For some years I have been afflicted with the belief that flight is possible for man. My disease has increased in severity and I feel that it will soon cost me an increased amount of money if not my life.”

Orville and Wilbur Wright followed their belief “that flight is possible for man”, in spite of ridicule, danger, hardship, and failure, to a thin 87 Stat. 1144strip of sand on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, There, on December 17, 1903, Wilbur tossed a coin with his brother, lost the toss, and watched as Orville made the first successful flight in a mechanically-propelled airplane. Through the courage, the genius, and the tenacity of the Wright brothers, man was no longer earth-bound.

That epic flight sixty-nine years ago made the world a smaller place, brought men and nations into closer proximity through trade and travel, and opened the doors to the Universe.

To commemorate the historic achievements of the Wright brothers,

36 USC 169.

the Congress, by a joint resolution of December 17, 1963 (77 Stat. 402), designated the seventeenth day of December of each year as Wright Brothers Day and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of this Nation, and the local and national government officials, to observe Wright Brothers Day, December 17, 1972, with appropriate ceremonies and activities, both to recall the accomplishments of the Wright brothers and to provide a stimulus to aviation in this country and throughout the world.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

The Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has under consideration a number of substantial proposals relating to the management of the oil import 87 Stat. 1145program under Proclamation No. 3279, as amended. Pending final

Post, p. 1183.

decisions and announcements on those proposals, he has recommended that the Secretary of the Interior be delegated authority to provide interim allocations for the allocation period commencing January I, 1973, and for succeeding allocation periods.

The Director, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has also recommended that occasional shortages of certain finished petroleum products important to the national security should be relieved by delegating authority to the Secretary of the Interior to permit additional imports from the United States Virgin Islands. Such delegated authority then could be used with the Director’s existing authorities relating to Puerto Rico and the use of Western Hemisphere crude oil in the development of programs to assist in meeting these shortages.

The Director, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has found that such changes would not adversely affect the national security.

I agree with the findings and recommendations of the Director and deem it necessary and consistent with the security objectives of Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, to adjust the imports of petroleum and petroleum products, and to improve the administration of the program, as hereinafter provided.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, do hereby proclaim

adding the following sentence at the end thereof:

“Whenever the Secretary, upon recommendation of the Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, finds that there may be shortages in the supply of any finished product or products in Districts I–IV, which products are deemed by the Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness to be important to the national security, the Secretary may allocate imports of any such product or products manufactured in the Virgin Islands in excess of the limitation in the preceding sentence for such product or products, for such time and under such conditions as he may deem consistent with the purposes of this proclamation.”

 2. Section 3 A is amended to read as follows:

84 Stat. 2268.

19 USC 1862 note.

“Commencing with the allocation period January 1, 1973, through December 31, 1973, the Secretary, with the concurrence of the Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, is authorized to make an interim allocation for any allocation period or portion thereof to any person who held an allocation of imports of crude oil and unfinished oils 87 Stat. 1146or of No. 2 fuel oil during the preceding allocation period. No such interim allocation shall exceed the like allocation held in such preceding allocation period by such person. However, the Secretary may adjust the allocation to any person limited by the previous sentence if such person would have been eligible for a larger allocation in 1973 under the regulations applicable during the allocation period commencing January 1, 1972. Any license issued under such interim allocation may be utilized for imports hereafter entering the United States prior to December 31, 1972, if authorized by the Secretary. Any allocation subsequently made to any person who receives an interim allocation pursuant to this section, shall be reduced by an amount equal to the interim allocation made pursuant to this section.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-two and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Announcing the Death of Harry S Truman

December 26, 1972

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES:

It is my sad duty to announce officially the death of Harry S Truman, thirty-third President of the United States, on December 26, 1972.

Throughout his long career in public service, Harry S Truman was known as a man of forthrightness and integrity. He served with distinction in the United States Senate; and when the death of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt thrust him suddenly into the Presidency in April of 1945 at one of the most critical moments of our history, he met 87 Stat. 1147that moment with courage and vision. His far-sighted leadership in the postwar era has helped ever since to preserve peace and freedom in the world.

Confronted during his Presidency with a momentous series of challenges, his strength and spirit proved equal to them all. His fortitude never wavered, and his faith in America never flagged.

President Truman had a deep respect for the office he held and for the people he served. He gave himself unstintingly to the duties of the Presidency while he held it, and in the years afterward he honorably supported and wisely counseled each of his successors.

The Nation to which he gave so much will honor his memory in admiration and respect, and the other countries for which he helped keep freedom alive will remember his name with gratitude.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in tribute to the memory of President Truman, and as an expression of public sorrow, do hereby direct that the flag of the United States be displayed at half-staff at the White House and on all buildings, grounds, and Naval vessels of the United States for a period of thirty days from the day of his death. I also direct that for the same length of time the representatives of the United States in foreign countries shall make similar arrangements for the display of the flag at half-staff over their Embassies, Legations, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and stations.

I hereby order that suitable honors be rendered by units of the Armed Forces under orders of the Secretary of Defense on the day of the funeral.

I do further appoint December 28, 1972 to be a National Day of Mourning throughout the United States. I recommend that the people assemble on that day in their respective places of worship, there to pay homage to the memory of President Truman and to seek God’s continued blessing on our land and on this His servant. I invite the people of the world who share our grief to join us in this solemn observance.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 26th day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Modifying Proclamation No. 3279, Relating to Imports of Petroleum and Petroleum Products

January 17, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has found that increases in domestic production in 1973 will not be sufficient to supply the expanded demand for petroleum and petroleum products during the year. He has therefore recommended an increase of 915,000 barrels per day in licensed imports into Districts I–IV, including the Canadian component of those imports.

The Director, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has also found that there may be a threat of temporary shortage of No. 2 fuel oil in the current season and has recommended that the requirement for allocations of such fuel oil be suspended for the period January 1, 1973, through April 30, 1973. He has also recommended certain technical

Post, p. 1187.

amendments to Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, relating to foreign trade zones, gilsonite, oil shale and liquefied gases.

In each instance above, the Director has found that his recommended changes would not adversely affect the national security.

The Director, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has taken into account the estimates of the Secretary of the Interior of the quantity of crude oil and natural gas liquids that will be produced in Districts I—IV, adjusted to reflect other national security determinations, and has recommended that Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, be further amended to adjust imports in conformity with these findings.

I agree with the findings and recommendations of the Director and deem it necessary and consistent with the security objectives of Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, to adjust the imports of petroleum and 87 Stat. 1151petroleum products, and to improve the administration of the program, as hereinafter provided.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in my by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, do hereby proclaim that,

National Jaycee Week, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

January 21, 1973

 A Proclamation

The Jaycee idea began with a handful of young men in St. Louis 53 years ago. Today, it embraces some 325,000 members in the more than 6,000 American communities, that have chapters of the United States Jaycees, and it enriches the lives of communities in 80 countries around the world through the affiliates of Junior Chamber International.

Yet even in its maturity the Jaycees organization retains a youthful outlook, and even with its global scope it continues to build on the individual member—first helping him be the best man he can be, then helping him help his fellow man in need, one to one.

The Jaycee cares about people, and he shows it. He cares about progress, and he does something about it. He lives by the creed that “Service to humanity is the best work of life,” and he throws himself into that work both as a vocation and as an avocation.

He is the kind of young man this country will need in great numbers to help meet the challenges of our Bicentennial Era and our coming third century. It is fitting that we should annually give special recognition and encouragement to him and to his organization.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning January 21, 1973, as National Jaycee Week—a time for the expression of America’s gratitude for the many significant contributions of the U.S. Jaycees.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Announcing the Death of Lyndon Baines Johnson

January 23, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES:

It is my sad duty to announce officially the death of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the thirty-sixth President of the United States, on January 22, 1973.

President Johnson served his country for more than thirty years as Congressman, Senator, Vice President and President. Yet it can be said of Lyndon Johnson that he served his country all his life, for his was a complete and wholehearted love of our Nation. From his early days as a teacher, to his last days as a distinguished elder statesman, he did his best to make the promise and the wonder of America become as real in the lives of all his countrymen as It was in his own.

He once said that he was a free man, an American, a United States Senator, and a Democrat, in that order. He was also a great patriot.

Although he will no longer walk among us, Lyndon Johnson’s influence on our times, which often seemed so much larger than life, cannot be stolen from us by death. Not only the things that he did, but also the spirit with which he did them, will be remembered long after time heals our sorrow at his leaving.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in tribute to the memory of President Johnson, and as an expression of public sorrow, do hereby direct that the flag of the United States be displayed at half-staff at the White House and on all buildings, grounds, and Naval vessels of the United States for a period of thirty days from the day of his death. I also direct that for the same length of time the representatives of the United States in foreign countries shall make similar arrangements for the display of the flag at half-staff over their Embassies, Legations, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and stations.

I hereby order that suitable honors be rendered by units of the Armed Forces under orders of the Secretary of Defense on the day of the funeral.

I do further appoint Thursday, January 25, 1973 to be a National Day of Mourning throughout the United States. I recommend that the people assemble on that day in their respective places of worship, there to pay 87 Stat. 1155homage to the memory of President Johnson. I invite the people of the world who share our grief to join us in this solemn observance.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-third day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

A long and trying ordeal for America has ended. Our Nation has achieved its goal of peace with honor in Vietnam.

As a people with a deep and abiding faith, we know that no great work can be accomplished without the aid and inspiration of Almighty God. No time could be more fitting for grateful prayer and meditation than the opening moment of the peace we have achieved with His help.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, as requested by the Congress, do hereby designate 7:00 p.m., e.s.t., January 27, 1973 as a National Moment of Prayer and Thanksgiving, and the 24-hour period beginning then as a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving.

I urge all men and women of goodwill to join the prayerful hope that this moment marks not only the end of the war in Vietnam, but the beginning of a new era of world peace and understanding for all mankind. I authorize the flying of the American flag at the appointed hour, and I call on all the people of the United States to observe this moment with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

International Clergy Week in the United States

January 27, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Mediators between God and man and healers among people, clergymen are the custodians of the sacred.

To be a clergyman is a lofty calling which often entails difficulty and continuing sacrifice. Clergy serve their fellow men in parishes, hospitals, war zones, classrooms, orphanages, prisons, soup kitchens. In developing countries they assist in forming cooperatives, running playgrounds, relieving the hungry, sick and homeless.

Clergymen of the world contribute vastly to the cohesion, stability and growth of civilization. They urge respect for law, minister to humanitarian needs, counsel the afflicted, exhort to a higher morality, preserve and transmit the religious traditions of the ages.

To encourage all Americans to pay tribute to the clergymen of the

world, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 163, has requested the President to proclaim the week commencing January 28, 1973, as International Clergy Week in the United States.

It is therefore in this spirit of appreciation for the world’s clergy and in recognition of their singular contribution to the spiritual, social and cultural evolution of society, that I, Richard Nixon, President of the United States of America, proclaim the week beginning January 28, 1973, as International Clergy Week in the United States. I call upon all Americans to honor clergymen of all faiths, in this country and abroad, by appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of January in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred seventy-three and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Save Your Vision Week, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

January 29, 1973

 A Proclamation

Like many precious possessions, eyesight is usually taken for granted until it is lost. Yet the preservation of vision—one of life’s greatest blessings—need not be left to chance. There are steps all of us can take to help keep our eyes healthy for a lifetime of useful service.

Simple safety precautions can substantially reduce the number of accidents which cause loss of vision. Potential sources of eye injury in the home, at work, and at school can be sought out and eliminated.

However, most blindness in the United States is the result not of injury, but of disease. Proper attention to hygiene, good nutrition, and, most important, regular professional eye examinations can minimize the risk of visual disability.

Glaucoma, one of the most common eye diseases, can be detected through a simple and painless test and, if detected early, can usually be arrested and controlled.

Many elderly Americans are unnecessarily blind because of cataracts. It is tragic that unwarranted fear of cataract surgery—successful in 95 percent of the cases—keeps many of our older citizens from regaining their sight.

For visual loss that can now neither be prevented nor cured, research such as that conducted by the Federal Government through the National Eye Institute offers new hope.

To encourage greater awareness of the importance of preserving sight, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved December 30, 1963 (77 Stat. 629), requested the President to proclaim the first week in March

36 USC 169a.

of each year as Save Your Vision Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of March 4, 1973, as Save Your Vision Week. I invite the Governors of the States and appropriate local government officials to issue similar proclamations, and I call upon the Nation’s mass communications media to join in bringing to the attention of all Americans the importance of preventive vision care.

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

As more and more Americans in all parts of our Nation turn to boating as a leisure time activity, we need to give increasing attention to the safety requirements of the millions who participate in this healthy, challenging outdoor sport.

Aware of this need, the Congress approved a joint resolution on

36 USC 161.

June 4, 1958 (72 Stat. 179) requesting that the President proclaim an annual National Safe Boating week during the week including July 4th of each year.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning July 1, 1973, as National Safe Boating Week.

I urge all Americans who use our waterways to take advantage of the numerous boating safety courses offered by governmental and private organizations to help make their stay afloat as safe as it is enjoyable. These courses, sponsored by the United States Coast Guard, the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the United States Power Squadrons, the American Red Cross and various State agencies, provide the average citizen with the information needed for the safe operation of recreational boats. I particularly urge the novice and the occasional boatman, the one who operates a small boat on only a few weekends of the year, to consider his own and his family’s safety and to be prepared for the unexpected by taking advantage of the sound safety information such courses offer.

I also invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa, and the Commissioner of the District of Columbia to provide for the observance of this week.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred 87 Stat. 1161seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Diseases of the heart and blood vessels impose an intolerable burden on the American people. They afflict one-eighth of our population—more than 27 million citizens. With every 30 seconds that pass, cardiovascular diseases claim another American life. The toll for 1973 will be staggering: more than one million lives, more than 200 million man-years lost from work and some $30 billion in lost income and the cost of medical care.

In 1948, the National Heart Act launched a nationwide effort to help

42 USC 287 note.

alleviate this burden. This landmark bill created the Federal Government’s National Heart Institute, bringing the public sector into a close alliance with the private sector, as exemplified by the American Heart Association, a national voluntary health agency.

In the nearly twenty-five years that have followed, science and medicine have made dramatic advances against this dread enemy. As cardiovascular medicine and surgery have undergone sweeping changes, new hope has been given to thousands of heart patients. Still heart and blood vessel diseases remain our Nation’s deadliest health threat, and our cardiovascular disease rate is the second highest in the world.

June of this year will mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the National Heart Act. On September 19, 1972, I signed into law a greatly expanded version of this authorization—the National Heart, Blood Vessel, Lung, and Blood Act of 1972—calling for significant increases in cardiovascular

To encourage a continuing effective attack on cardiovascular diseases, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved December 30, 1963 (77 Stat. 843), requested the President to issue annually a proclamation

36 USC 169b.

designating February as American Heart Month.

87 Stat. 1162

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of February, 1973, as American Heart Month. I invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to issue similar proclamations.

I urge the people of the United States to consider fully the nationwide problem of cardiovascular diseases, and to support programs essential to bring about its solution.

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In 1646, the Massachusetts General Court granted an immigrant ironworker named Joseph Jenks the first patent for machinery issued in what was then British North America—a 14 year monopoly on water-mills for the “speedy dispatch of much worke with few hands.” That was the beginning of what has become a long and proud tradition in this country.

The creators of our Republic, themselves the inventors of a new form of government, recognized the important role which inventors would play in achieving national progress and, accordingly, gave the Congress the Constitutional authority to grant inventors, for limited times, the exclusive rights to their discoveries. In 1790, Congress did that by establishing the United States Patent System and granting Samuel Hopkins the first patent.

History is filled with evidence of the success of this system. The names of Whitney, McCormick, Morse, Bell, and Edison and the cotton gin, the reaper, the telegraph and telephone, the light bulb, the airplane, transistor, television, are familiar examples of American inventiveness.

87 Stat. 1163

Ours is a proud history of technological achievement, but, as I noted in my message to the Congress on Science and Technology last March, it is not enough to take pride in the achievements of the past. Great and complex challenges at home and abroad demand further progress and new technology. Today, as in our past, the inventor must play a crucial role in determining whether we meet these challenges.

In honor of the important role played by inventors in promoting progress in the useful arts and in recognition of the invaluable contribution of inventors to the welfare of our people, the Congress has by Public Law 92–457 designated February 11, 1973 as National Inventors’ Day.

86 Stat. 763.

It is particularly appropriate to have chosen February 11 as the day on which to honor all inventors in this manner, since it is the birthday of one of our Nation’s most outstanding inventors, Thomas Alva Edison, to whom more than 1,000 patents were issued for his various inventions.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, as authorized and requested by the Congress, call upon the people of the United States to join in celebrating National Inventors’ Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities honoring the important role played by inventors in promoting progress in useful arts and in recognition of their invaluable contribution to our welfare.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Display of the Flag in Honor of Vietnam Prisoners of War By the President of the United States of America

February 13, 1973

 A Proclamation

The death on January 22, 1973, of Lyndon Baines Johnson, a man dedicated to the cause of peace with honor in Vietnam, prevented 87 Stat. 1164him by only a matter of hours from witnessing the attainment of that peace, and by only days from sharing in our rejoicing at the return of the first American prisoners of war.

Although the thirty-day mourning period which is traditional upon the passing of a President does not conclude for President Johnson until February 21, Mrs. Johnson has expressed to me her feeling that the most fitting tribute both to her husband’s memory and to the heroism of the returning prisoners would be to return the flag of the United States from half-staff to full staff on the day the prisoners come home.

Lyndon Johnson gave himself completely in the service of his country. As Commander in Chief, he had the highest respect and affection for the men in uniform who gave so much on the battlefields and in the prison camps. On the night that he renounced his candidacy for re-election in order to seek an end to the war, he said of those brave men: “The peace that will bring them home someday will come.” Now that peace with honor has come, and now that the men who made that peace possible are coming home, he would surely want the flag to be flying high.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in expression of the Nation’s gratitude for the service rendered and the sacrifices made by those Americans who have been prisoners of war in Indochina, those still missing, those who gave their lives, and their families and loved ones, do hereby direct

68 Stat. C32; 83 Stat. 974.

36 USC 175 note.

Ante, p. 1154.

that the provisions of Proclamation 3044 of March 1, 1954, and of Proclamation 4180 of January 23, 1973, with respect to display of the flag of the United States at half-staff be suspended effective on the day of return of the first prisoners to the United States, and that commencing on that day the flag once again be displayed at full staff.

I urge all Americans to join in this observance by displaying the flag at their homes, places of business, and public buildings on the day of return; but I also request that the expression of public sorrow in tribute to the memory of President Lyndon B. Johnson as proclaimed in Proclamation 4180 shall not be diminished.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes, including sections 201 (a) (2) and 351 (c)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act, and in accordance with section

National Poison Prevention Week, 1973

February 28, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In recent years, there has been a significant reduction among our Nation’s children in the number of deaths due to poisoning.

All Americans can be grateful to the many private and public groups who have worked so hard to prevent accidental poisonings through pro-87 Stat. 1167grams of education, product labeling, dosage limitations, and special packaging. We can be grateful, too, that thanks to the Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970, many products previously responsible for accidental

84 Stat. 1670.

15 USC 1471 note.

poisonings among children are now being sold in special “childproof” packaging.

But much still remains to be done. The accidental poisonings that continue to occur must still be a matter of grave concern. The natural curiosity of our children, their limitless ingenuity, their inclination to imitate adults, and their desire to taste whatever can be reached sometimes may lead them into dangers that are difficult to control by safety measures of any sort. All of us, therefore, must be constantly alert to the potential hazards of medicines and household products and must exercise every precaution in using and storing such substances.

To encourage such preventive measures, the Congress, in a joint resolution approved September 26, 1961 (75 Stat. 681), requested the

36 USC 165.

President to issue annually a proclamation designating the third week in March as National Poison Prevention Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning March 18, 1973, as National Poison Prevention Week.

I direct all appropriate agencies of the Federal Government to participate actively in programs designed to promote maximum protection of our people against accidental poisonings, particularly among children. Further, I invite all State and local governments and private organizations and individuals to share in this national effort.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 28th day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Red Cross Month, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

March 3, 1973

 A Proclamation

Each year, in the spirit of good neighborliness, millions of Americans pool their resources and efforts under the Red Cross banner to help others in distress or need.

87 Stat. 1168

The services of the Red Cross assist many kinds of people. They help provide lifesaving blood for the ill and injured; help restore the shattered lives of disaster victims; help our servicemen, veterans, and their families in periods of emergency; and help save lives and lessen suffering through training in first aid, water safety, and simple nursing skills.

While these could be called the basic purposes of the Red Cross, the organization also seeks out new areas of concern in American life. The Red Cross has helped the elderly to obtain government food assistance, the veteran to readjust to civilian life, the drug abuser to seek help, the migrant worker to better his living standards, and the student to obtain tutoring assistance.

Although the Red Cross receives the cooperation of many Federal, State, and local agencies, it derives its major financial support from the voluntary contributions of the American people. During the past year the Red Cross has been operating under an especially heavy financial burden because of outlays for disaster relief following the flood in Rapid City, South Dakota, and the Hurricane Agnes tragedy. I urge every American to help ensure that the Red Cross has the funds and volunteer manpower to fulfill its responsibilities during the year ahead. Helping the Red Cross—the Good Neighbor—continue its wide range of assistance programs is one way in which each of us can help our communities and our country.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America and Honorary Chairman of the American National Red Cross, do hereby designate March 1973 as Red Cross Month, a month when every citizen is asked to join, serve, and contribute.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this third day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Nearly 150,000 young Americans in junior and senior high schools throughout the country live by the Beta Club motto: “Let us lead by serving others.” By striving for high standards of honesty, accomplish-87 Stat. 1169ment, leadership, and service to others, Beta Club members are preparing themselves in the finest possible way for the responsibilities of citizenship and leadership which will be theirs in the years ahead.

To call public attention to the commendable activities and positive achievements of the Beta Club, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved October 19, 1972 (86 Stat. 917) has requested the President to designate the week which begins on the first Sunday in March, 1973 as National Beta Club Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of March 4 through March 10, 1973, as National Beta Club Week, in recognition of the significant contributions being made by Beta Club members to the well-being of our country.

Law Day, U.S.A., 1973 By the President of the United States of America

March 8, 1973

 A Proclamation

Nearly 190 years ago, Alexander Hamilton wrote in The Federalist Papers that an independent judicial system is “the best expedient which can be devised in any government, to secure a steady, upright, and impartial administration of the laws.”

The theme of the sixteenth annual observance of Law Day, U.S.A., “Help Your Courts—Assure Justice,” makes Hamilton’s words particularly timely. For it is in our courts that our Constitution and all our laws take on their practical meaning.

The judicial system is the final arbiter of American justice—and the final guarantor of American democracy. The first principle of the judiciary must always be to interpret the law fairly and without prejudice—the rights of the weak must be equally protected with those of the strong, the rights of the poor with those of the rich, the rights of the guilty with those of the innocent.

87 Stat. 1170

We honor the law because it preserves civilized society. We revere the law because it protects the dignity of the individual. And we respect our courts because without them the words of law would be words without meaning.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby request the observance of Tuesday, May 1, 1973, as Law Day in the United States of America.

As requested by the Congress, I urge that our people observe Law Day with appropriate public ceremonies, through public bodies and private organizations, in schools, colleges and universities, and in other suitable places. I especially request that the courts, the legal profession, and all media of public information take the lead in such observances so that public understanding of the role of the courts in our society can be broadened. I call upon public officials to display the Nation’s flag on public buildings on that day.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Earth Week, 1973

March 12, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The first Earth Week in 1971 marked an important milestone for the cause of environmental protection. It also provided an important opportunity for all Americans to pay tribute to the qualities which have made our country great—individual initiative, voluntary action, and a deep sense of responsibility for the gifts of nature and the welfare of the community.

Our environment is the source of life upon which we all depend; its preservation has brought out the best in the American character. In thousands of communities, citizens have joined to improve the quality of their lives and those of their neighbors.

Our environmental problems have not been resolved since that first Earth Week, but we have done much and we will do more. While our 87 Stat. 1171new awareness has taught us that our natural resources are exhaustible, we know that our most important resource, the American spirit, is not.

We can never rest in the effort to preserve and improve our good earth. Earth Week, 1973 gives us the chance to affirm our dedication to that high calling.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning April 8, 1973, as Earth Week. I call upon Federal, State and local officials to foster the purposes of Earth Week and to arrange for its proper observance, I ask that special attention be given to personal voluntary activities and educational efforts directed toward protecting and enhancing our life-giving environment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 12th day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Small Business Week, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

March 12, 1973

 A Proclamation

In no facet of our national life is the American genius for independence, innovation and self-improvement better displayed than in the small business community.

The instinct to create, sustain and expand an independent enterprise is as old as America herself—an impulse that brought the earliest settlers to our shores and motivated generation after generation of our citizens in their onward, upward march. Nowhere is it more clearly evident today than among our Nation’s 8 million small businesses.

In the past year alone, more than 70 thousand new companies were started. Nineteen out of every twenty firms are considered small business, and they provide approximately 35 million jobs, and contribute more than $420 billion to the gross national product.

They also provide a ladder of opportunity to hard working, ambitious Americans of all races and creeds—the chance to harness individual 87 Stat. 1172initiative and ability to the mighty potentials of the free enterprise system. As long as America remains true to her heritage, the small businessman will continue as a mainstay of our economy and our society.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning May 13, 1973, as Small Business Week. I ask all Americans to share with me during this week a deep pride in the many accomplishments of our Nation’s small businessmen and women, and in the invaluable contribution they have made to our free way of life.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 12th day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

National Defense Transportation Day and National Transportation Week, 1973

March 13, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Transportation has always been a central factor in the growth of our country. Our ability to meet economic needs, overcome geographic barriers, and respond rapidly to emergencies—foreign or domestic—rests largely on a modern and efficient transportation system.

From our earliest days, the Federal government has worked in partnership with the private sector to achieve better transportation systems. That partnership continues today—but the challenges it faces are changing. The need today is for initiatives which can help us to reconcile our transportation needs with our energy resources, to encourage mobility without impairing safety and security, to upgrade our transportation capabilities without damaging the environment.

Because of the great importance of transportation to our daily lives and in tribute to the men and women who move goods and people throughout America, the Congress by a joint resolution approved

71 Stat. 30.

36 USC 160.

May 16, 1957, requested the President to proclaim annually the third 87 Stat. 1173Friday in May of each year as National Defense Transportation Day and by a joint resolution approved May 14, 1962, requested the President

76 Stat. 59.

36 USC 166.

to proclaim annually the week of May in which that Friday falls as National Transportation Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Friday, May 18, 1973, as National Defense Transportation Day, and the week beginning May 13, 1973, as National Transportation Week.

I ask the people of our Nation to join with the Department of Transportation and with appropriate State and local agencies in reaffirming our commitment to a progressive and balanced transportation system for America.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 13th day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

National Farm Safety Week By the President of the United States of America

March 13, 1973

 A Proclamation

The unfailing supply of food and fiber provided by the Nation’s largest industry, agriculture, has been a foundation of American prosperity since our country’s beginnings. Abundance on the farm, in turn, has been stimulated by constant technological progress. But the blessings of technology have sometimes been mixed, as each advance has also brought a new potential for injury.

Each year, many thousands of farm and ranch residents are killed or seriously injured in work, home, recreation and highway mishaps. For the most part, these accidents could be prevented if basic safety precautions were observed.

The dollar cost of rural accidents is high, but there is no higher price than the human suffering. This waste of precious human and economic resources must be reduced and can be reduced. The same energies and talents which have made agriculture so highly productive should also be turned to the task of making it safer.

87 Stat. 1174

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning July 25, 1973, as National Farm Safety Week. I urge all persons engaged in farming and ranching to consider ways in which they can promote safer practices in work, home, and recreational activities, and can exercise greater caution when traveling on public roads. Further, I call upon community leaders, private organizations, and the communications media to assist in providing safety information so that we can be as effective in promoting safety on the farm as we have been in promoting abundance on the farm.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

March 14, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In today’s rapidly changing, highly mobile society, more children than ever find themselves temporarily, or even permanently, separated from their parents. Such children may carry lasting emotional scars unless they can be placed in a stable family environment where they can feel loved and secure.

In the past year alone, more than 300,000 American children were living in foster homes. It is gratifying that so many Americans are working to help foster children. They include not only professionals in the child welfare field but hundreds of volunteers—businessmen, church and community leaders, and members of civic groups—all dedicated to the principle that none of our children should be deprived or neglected.

In recognition of these efforts, I am asking the Nation to set aside a week during which we can assess the needs of foster children, encourage States and communities to plan activities which will help meet those needs, and renew our determination to assure foster children that we Care about them and their well-being.

87 Stat. 1175

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of April 8 through April 14, 1973, as National Action for Foster Children Week, 1973.

I urge Governors and Mayors to join me in proclaiming this observance, and I earnestly call upon citizens everywhere to volunteer their talents, energies and compassion in behalf of foster children, so that they may enjoy the sound development that comes from a full and happy family life.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

National Employ the Older Worker Week By the President of the United States of America

March 15, 1973

 A Proclamation

The employment of men and women who are 45 years of age and over is an important objective—not only for those directly involved, but for our entire country. For their energies, their talents, and their experience are a national resource of tremendous value which is not now being fully utilized.

There are many barriers hampering middle-aged and older Americans in continuing as productive and useful participants in the society and in the work force. This Administration is committed to overcoming these barriers.

In an expanding economy such as ours the single most effective response to the employment problems of older workers will come from the understanding and voluntary cooperation of employers in both the private and public sectors.

To encourage such cooperative efforts, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 334, has requested the President to issue a proclamation

Ante, p. 8.

designating the second full calendar week in March of 1973 as National Employ the Older Worker Week.

87 Stat. 1176

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning March 11, 1973, as National Employ the Older Worker Week. I am pleased to join with the Congress in urging all employers to consider the skills and qualifications of those men and women 45 years of age and older who are unemployed or underemployed and who are able and willing to work.

I am also asking the Secretary of Labor to see to it that those public officials at national, State, and local levels who provide job placement, counseling, training, and retraining services accelerate their efforts to help older workers to find suitable jobs and training opportunities. We must not only concentrate on these efforts during this week but sustain them at high level throughout the year.

National Wildlife Week

March 16, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Americans carved a nation out of the wilderness. Now we must preserve the wilderness for the Nation.

The theme of this year’s National Wildlife Week is: “Discover Wildlife—It’s Too Good To Miss.” In a greater sense, Americans are rediscovering the natural animal world around them. Our concern for the fate of wild animals has increased. We have come to realize that the development of the human habitat has occurred at great cost to another kind of habitat. And we are seeking more effective ways to prevent and enhance our wilderness areas.

All men need refuges for their spirit. The wilderness invokes contemplation and provides recreation, and the animal wildlife of America provides a fascinating dimension to our natural heritage which we know must be preserved for future generations to enjoy.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning March 18, 1973, as National Wildlife Week.

87 Stat. 1177

I ask all citizens to renew their efforts to preserve and enhance our natural environment, especially those areas now inhabited by our natural wildlife. Because the need is still great for better tools with which to do the job, I also urge the Congress once again to act promptly on my proposal to strengthen protection for hundreds of endangered species.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Loyalty Day, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

March 23, 1973

 A Proclamation

The meaning of America is rooted deep in the brains and bones of men and women who once cherished a dream that mankind might live in freedom somehow, somewhere on this earth. The dream became an idea, the idea an ideal, and the ideal a reality here in this land. Brighter than the sun, the meaning of America shines across the world, warming those to whom the dignity of living in liberty is still a dream.

Generations of men and women “who more than self their country loved” have given all that liberty demanded to keep the meaning of America alive, both in our land and in the hearts of others abroad. This willingness to give is the measure of our loyalty—it is reflected in how we live our liberty, and how we love our country’.

On this Loyalty Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to the great work which began long ago, but which is still unfinished as our Nation is unfinished—to make whole and perfect the meaning of America: “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in accordance with the joint resolution of the Congress of July 18, 1958, do call upon the people of the United States,

72 Stat. 369.

36 USC 162.

and upon all patriotic, civic and educational organizations to observe Tuesday, May 1, 1973 as Loyalty Day, with appropriate ceremonies in which all may join.

I call also upon appropriate officials of the Government to display the 87 Stat. 1178flag of the United States on all Government buildings on that day as an expression of our loyalty to the Nation symbolized by that flag.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-third day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

4203 March 26, 1973 Senior Citizens Month, 1973 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation 87 Stat. 1180 PROCLAMATION 4203
Senior Citizens Month, 1973

March 26, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Today more than 20 million Americans have six and a half decades or more of life behind them, and rich years of promise still before them. This distinguished generation grew up with the twentieth century, and they came to the fullness of their maturity at the same time America did. They have stood in the forefront of this country’s rise to unprecedented national well-being and to the world leadership role which is ours today.

Our older citizens have given their best to America. Now they deserve the best from America.

Senior Citizens Month each year is a time for all our people to renew the recognition, the respect, and the active concern which properly belong to older Americans.

The theme of this year’s observance is OLDER AMERICANS IN ACTION. It points our attention to the basic fact that most older people are not mere onlookers in our society—nor are they society’s wards. They remain vital, versatile, and highly valued contributors to the quality of American life.

Government’s actions on behalf of older Americans must never become mere caretaking. Rather they must be designed to free and assist senior citizens so that they can remain active and involved, in ways of their own choosing. This principle has guided us as Federal spending to help older Americans has increased by almost three-fourths during the past four years.

But Senior Citizens Month 1973 must be something more than a time for renewing our commitment to Government efforts concerning older Americans—important as these efforts are. It must also be a time for strengthening those human bonds which will ensure older Americans an active and honored place in our families, our communities, and our Nation.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the month of May, 1973, as Senior Citizens Month.

I invite the officials of the Federal, State, and local governments, leaders of voluntary and private organizations, and all Americans every-87 Stat. 1181where to join in appropriate recognition of OLDER AMERICANS IN ACTION during this month and throughout the coming year.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Cancer Control Month, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

March 28, 1973

 A Proclamation

The forces fighting cancer in America are being mobilized as never before in our history.

Under the National Cancer Program, authorized by the National Cancer Act of 1971, public and private resources are being marshaled in the most intensive campaign ever waged against malignant disease.

I have on numerous occasions expressed my strong, personal commitment to the attack on cancer. Cancer is now killing Americans at the rate of 350,000 a year and causing untold suffering for many others. Everything that can effectively be done to find better ways of detecting, treating, and ultimately preventing cancer must be done so that we can substantially reduce its impact.

As a means of giving continued emphasis to the cancer problem, the Congress, by a joint resolution of March 28, 1938 (52 Stat. 148),

36 USC 150.

requested the President to issue annually a proclamation setting aside the month of April as Cancer Control Month.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of April, 1973, as Cancer Control Month, and I invite the Governors of the States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the appropriate officials of all other areas under the United States flag to issue similar proclamations.

To give new emphasis to this serious problem, and to encourage the determination of the American people to meet it, I also ask the medical and health professions, the communications industries, and all other interested persons and groups to unite during this appointed time in 87 Stat. 1182public reaffirmation of our Nation’s strong commitment to control cancer.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Eighty-three years ago the International Union of American Republics was established, the forerunner of the Organization of American

2 UST 2394; 21 UST 607.

States. There have been differences among the member nations in those eighty-three years, and some of these differences continue today. But far more significant is the fact that, despite dramatic changes and our great cultural and political diversity, the members of the hemispheric community have maintained and strengthened our common forum in a general climate of friendship and understanding.

It is an intangible force which forms the basis of solidarity among the Americas—a combination of idealism and realism and a capacity to grow and adjust with the times. The Organization of American States is the focal point of this force, a place where cooperation rather than confrontation strengthens the common ties shared by the nations of the hemisphere.

This unity of the Americas is based on respect for the historic personality of each of the countries of the Americas and demands a mutual understanding and respect for each country.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Saturday, April 14, 1973, as Pan American Day, and the week beginning April 8 and ending April 14 as Pan American Week, and I call upon the Governors of the fifty States, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and appropriate officials of all other areas under the flag of the United States to issue similar proclamations.

Nicolaus Copernicus Week By the President of the United States of America

April 10, 1973

 A Proclamation

Nineteen hundred seventy-three marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of Nicolaus Copernicus (Mikolaj Kopernik). This brilliant son of Poland distinguished himself as an economist, physician, mathematician, theologian, soldier, and statesman. But above all, it was his inspired work in astronomy and his theories about the place of the earth in the universe that marked him for greatness and precipitated the flowering of modern science.

In a world of darkness, his only weapons were the light of learning and devotion to truth. The daring, imagination, reason, discipline, and versatility of Copernicus led mankind to a brighter age. It is fitting that we pay tribute to him on the anniversary of his birth, and that we remind ourselves how much a single man, dedicated and unafraid, can do to extend knowledge and enrich human consciousness. This anniversary should also serve to remind us that the study of science is one of man’s noblest pursuits.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in consonance with House Joint Resolution 5,

Ante, p. 12.

do hereby designate the week of April 23, 1973, as Nicolaus Copernicus Week, and I call upon the people of the United States to join with the Nation’s scientific community, as well as that of Poland and other nations, in observing that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

National Maritime Day, 1973

April 11, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The first transatlantic voyage by a steamship was made by an American vessel, the “Savannah”, on May 22, 1819, from its namesake port in Georgia to Liverpool, England. To commemorate that event, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved four decades ago, designated May 22 of each year as National Maritime Day, and requested the President to issue a proclamation annually calling for its observance.

In welcome contrast to those of the past twelve years, National Maritime Day, 1973, finds this Nation at peace. Our merchant marine, which so effectively served as the logistic lifeline to our Armed Forces and allies in Southeast Asia, can now concentrate its full attention on the movement of cargoes which link the United States and its trading partners in peaceful enterprise.

International trade is an important and constructive force in forging concord between nations, and we have assigned high priorities to the improvement and expansion of our trade relations with the rest of the world.

I am confident that the American merchant marine, which is being

84 Stat. 1018.

46 USC 1101 note.

restructured and revitalized under the Merchant Marine Act of 1970, will contribute in large measure to the success of these endeavors.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby urge the people of the United States to honor our American merchant marine on May 22, 1973, by displaying the flag of the United States at their homes and other suitable places, and I request that all ships sailing under the American flag observe “dress ship” procedures on that day.

 A Proclamation

Clean water can mean many things—a sparkling stream, a refreshing drink, an industrial essential, or a beleaguered resource.

The need for clean water always exists. Agencies of government, researchers in universities, and concerned citizens individually and through organizations are working to assure a reliable and plentiful supply. Our heightened awareness of its importance in our lives and in our national life is a safeguard for its protection and enhancement. It is appropriate that we recognize the efforts of all those who are seeking to preserve our clean water supplies and encourage them and all our citizens to continue their quest.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in concurrence with H.J. Res. 437, do hereby

Ante, p. 22.

designate the week beginning April 15, 1973, as National Clean Water Week. I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to support National Clean Water Week and to arrange for its proper observance. I also ask that special attention be given to personal voluntary activities and education efforts directed toward recognizing the need for clean water and protecting the supply.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Jim Thorpe Day

April 16, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In the early years of this century when Americans of racial and ethnic minority backgrounds were reaching for greater dignity and opportunity among their fellow-citizens, and when excellence in sport commanded increasing admiration across the country, one magnificent athlete from the Oklahoma frontier came to world renown as a pioneer in both of these developing trends.

His name was James Francis Thorpe; his roots were in the Potowatomi/Sac and Fox Tribe of the American Indians; and his prowess on playing fields from Carlisle Institute to the Stockholm Olympics remains legendary in this, the 85th anniversary year of his birth.

The history of college and professional football, world decathlon and pentathlon competition, and major league baseball is permanently enriched by the contributions of this noble American who has been acclaimed by some as the greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th century. And millions of young people who aspire to achievements transcending a disadvantaged background continue to take heart from Jim Thorpe’s example.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the

April 18, 1973

 A Proclamation

The Chairman of the Oil Policy Committee maintains a constant surveillance of imports of petroleum and its primary derivatives in respect to the national security.

He informs me that, in the course of his surveillance, he has reviewed the status of imports under Proclamation 3279, as amended, of petroleum

73 Stat. C25.

19 USC 1862 note.

and its primary derivatives in their relation to the national security and that further Presidential action under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, is required.

76 Stat. 877.

19 USC 1862.

He recommends, after consultation with the Oil Policy Committee, that the method of adjusting imports of petroleum and petroleum products be modified by immediately suspending tariffs on imports of petroleum and petroleum products and by shifting to a system whereby 87 Stat. 1188fees for licenses covering such imports shall be charged and whereby such fees may be adjusted from time to time, as required in order to discourage the importation into the United States of petroleum and petroleum products in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security; to create conditions favorable, in the long range, to domestic production needed for projected national security requirements; to increase the capacity of domestic refineries and petrochemical plants to meet such requirements; and to encourage investment, exploration, and development necessary to assure such growth.

The Chairman informs me further, that the levels of imports heretofore fixed in calendar year 1973, with respect to Districts I–IV, District V, and Puerto Rico, reflect application of the established policy that for each such area the maximum level of imports shall be the difference between estimated supply and estimated demand, and that he finds that such levels of imports should be continued to be permitted without payment of the fees otherwise provided for in this proclamation.

I agree with the recommendations of the Chairman, and I deem it necessary and consistent with the national security objectives of the Trade

76 Stat. 872.

19 USC 1801 note.

Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, that provision be made for a gradual transition from the existing quota method of adjusting imports of petroleum and petroleum products to a long-term program for adjustment of imports of petroleum and petroleum products through the suspension of existing tariffs and the institution of a system of fees applicable to imports of crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products, which fees may be adjusted from time to time.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority

USC prec. title 1.

76 Stat. 877.

19 USC 1862.

vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, do hereby proclaim that, effective as of this date, that portion of Proclamation 3279, as

73 Stat. C25.

19 USC 1862 note.

amended, beginning with section 1 thereof, is hereby amended to read as follows:

“Sec. 1(a) In Districts I–IV, in District V, and in Puerto Rico, no crude oil, unfinished oils, or finished products may be entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, except (1) by or for the account of a person to whom a license has been issued by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to an allocation made to such person by the Secretary in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary, and such entries or withdrawals may be made only in accordance with the terms of such license, or (2) as authorized by the Secretary pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section, or (3) as to finished products, by or for the account of a department, establishment, or agency of the United States, which shall not be required to have such a license 87 Stat. 1189but which shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) of this section, or (4) as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, or (5) as otherwise provided in this proclamation. (b) The Secretary of the Interior may, in his discretion, authorize entries, without allocation or license, of small quantities of crude oil, unfinished oils, or finished products. (c) In Districts I–IV, District V, and in Puerto Rico, no department, establishment, or agency of the United States shall without prior payment of the fees provided for in this proclamation, import finished products in excess of the respective allocations made to them by the Secretary of the Interior. Such allocations shall, except as otherwise provided in this proclamation, be within the maximum levels of imports established in section 2 of this proclamation. (d) The Secretary may, by regulation, provide that no allocation or license shall be required in connection with the transportation to the United States by pipeline through a foreign country’ of crude oil, unfinished oils, or finished products produced in the customs territory of the United States or, in the event of commingling with foreign oils of like kind and qualities incidental to such transportation, of quantities equivalent to the quantities produced in and shipped from such customs territory.”
“Sec. 2(a) Except as otherwise provided in this proclamation, the maximum level of imports, from sources other than Canada and Mexico which may be made without prior payment of the fees provided in this proclamation, of crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products (other than residual fuel oil to be used as fuel) shall be: (1) for Districts I–IV, 1,992,000 average barrels per day per calendar year: Provided, That, in addition to the foregoing, there may be imported into District I an average of 50,000 barrels per day of No. 2 fuel oil, manufactured in the Western Hemisphere from crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere under allocations made by the Secretary, pursuant to regulations of the Secretary, to deepwater terminal operators currently receiving allocations and who do not have crude oil import allocations into Districts I–IV; Provided Further, That, whenever the Chairman of the Oil Policy Committee finds that, because of supply, price, or other considerations, the requirement that No. 2 fuel oil be manufactured in the Western Hemisphere from crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere is unduly restricting the availability of such oil for importation into District I and is not required for the national security, he shall so advise the Secretary who shall then suspend such requirement by appropriate regulation. No such suspension shall be renewed except upon a new finding by the Chairman as required by the preceding sentence; Provided Further, That, the Secretary may, by regulation, provide that a holder of an allocation for the importation of 87 Stat. 1190No. 2 fuel oil may import crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere in lieu of No. 2 fuel oil, barrel for barrel, and exchange such crude oil for No. 2 fuel oil. (2) for District V, 670,000 average barrels per day per calendar year. (3) for Puerto Rico 227,221 average barrels per day per year commencing April 1, 1973; Provided, That no person who manufactures in Puerto Rico No. 2 fuel oil from crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere shall incur a reduction of an allocation or be deemed to have violated a condition of an allocation by reason of a shipment of such oil to a person who holds an allocation of imports of No. 2 fuel oil into District I and who does not have a crude oil import allocation into District I; Provided Further, That, this limitation shall not apply to long-term allocations of imports into Puerto Rico. (4) for District I, 2,900,000 average barrels per day per year, commencing April 1, 1973, of residual fuel oil to be used as fuel. (5) for Districts II–IV, 42,000 average barrels per day per calendar year of residual fuel oil to be used as fuel. (6) for District V, 75,600 average barrels per day per calendar year of residual fuel oil to be used as fuel.

(c) Crude oil may be imported into District I to be topped for use as burner fuel under such conditions as the Secretary may, by regulation, provide. The quantities of crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products that may be imported into the United States under the provisions of this proclamation shall not be reduced by reason of imports of crude oil used as fuel under this paragraph. (d) (1) Except as otherwise provided in this proclamation, the maximum levels of imports from Canada of crude oil and unfinished oils to which license fees are not applicable shall be: (i) for Districts I–IV, 960,000 average barrels per day per calendar year; Provided, That, the Secretary may, within the limits established by subparagraph (1) of paragraph (a) of this section, increase the quantity of crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products which may be imported from Canada so long as such increase is consonant with the purposes of this proclamation.

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this proclamation, the maximum level of imports from Mexico of crude oil produced in Mexico and unfinished oils and finished products produced in Mexico wholly from Mexican crude oil shall be 32,500 average barrels per day per calendar year. (f) The levels established, and the total demand referred to, in this section do not include free withdrawals by persons pursuant to section 309 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1309), or petroleum

“Sec. 3(a)

Effective May 1, 1973, the Secretary shall, by regulation, establish a system of fees for licenses issued under allocations of imports of crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products, over the above levels of imports established by section 2 of this proclamation. Such regulations shall require, among other appropriate provisions, that such fees shall be:

Provided, That, license fees paid for imports of crude oil or unfinished oils will be refunded to the extent that such crude oils or unfinished oils have been incorporated into petrochemical or finished products subsequently exported or that asphalt as defined in this proclamation was produced from the imported feedstocks.

 (b) Except for allocation and licenses to which the license fee is not applicable, applications for allocations of imports of crude oil, unfinished oils, or finished products shall be accompanied by the applicant’s certified check or a cashier’s check payable to the order of the Treasurer of the United States in the appropriate amount chargeable 87 Stat. 1192pursuant to this section. Applications not accompanied by a certified or cashier’s check in the amount required shall not be considered. (c) (1) All monies received by the Secretary under the terms of paragraph (b) of this section shall be held by the Secretary of the Interior in a suspense account and may be drawn upon by the Secretary for the payment of any refunds of refundable license fees and for payments to Puerto Rico of sums collected by way of license fees for imports into Puerto Rico. Balances remaining in such suspense account not required for payment hereinabove provided shall be deposited at the end of each fiscal year in the Treasury of the United States and credited to miscellaneous receipts. (2) Refunds pursuant to subparagraph (1) of paragraph (c) of this section shall be made without interest.”
“Sec. 4(a) The Secretary of the Interior is hereby authorized to issue regulations for the purpose of implementing this proclamation. (b) (1) With respect to the allocation of imports of crude oil and unfinished oils into Districts I–IV and into District V, such regulations shall provide for a fair and equitable distribution of allocations of imports for which license fees are not applicable among eligible persons having refinery capacity in relation to refinery inputs or in relation to storage capacities of such allocation holders. The Secretary may, by regulation, also provide for the making of allocations of imports for which license fees are not applicable, of crude oil and unfinished oils into Districts I–IV and into District V to persons having petrochemical plants in these districts in relation to the outputs of such plants or in relation to inputs to such plants. Provision may be made in the regulations for the making of such allocations on the basis of graduated scales. Notwithstanding the levels prescribed in section 2 of this proclamation, the Secretary may also by regulation make such provisions as he deems consonant with the objectives of this proclamation for the making of allocations of imports of crude oil and unfinished oils to which the license fee is not applicable into Districts I–IV and into District V to persons who manufacture from crude oil and unfinished oils and who export finished products and petrochemicals, subject to such designations as the Secretary may make.

Thirtieth Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

April 21, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Thirty years ago a remnant of determined Polish Jews launched a resistance of desperation in the Warsaw Ghetto. All who took part knew that death would be the almost certain consequence, yet they readily chose that path in them struggle for freedom.

As we recall the valor of these honored and desperate heroes, we are mindful that the price of freedom is high. The debt we owe the gallant defenders of the Warsaw Ghetto is part of the same obligation all of us who live in freedom owe to those who refuse to capitulate in the face of invasion or violence. The names of these Warsaw Ghetto warriors are an inspiration to free men everywhere.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in accordance with House Joint Resolution

National Arthritis Month, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

April 21, 1973

 A Proclamation

Arthritis and the rheumatic diseases are the Nation’s number one crippling disorders. They afflict some 17 million Americans of all ages, causing their victims untold suffering and cruel limitations of normal activity. Among the chronic illnesses suffered by our people, only heart disease is more widespread. The cost of arthritis and rheumatic diseases to Americans must be counted not only in billions of dollars of lost earnings and medical expenses each year, but also in poignant human terms.

This is a price we need not continue to pay. Year by year the advancement of medical science through private and publicly supported medical research and education permits thousands of arthritis victims to receive more effective treatment and live freer lives. We can and must continue this progress and extend its benefits to all who have been so unjustly sentenced to lives of pain and disability from arthritis and the rheumatic diseases.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of May 1973 as National Arthritis Month. I invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to issue similar proclamations.

I urge individuals and organizations working in the educational, philanthropic, scientific, medical and health care fields to accelerate our national effort to discover the cause and cures of arthritis and rheumatic diseases and to alleviate the suffering of persons struck by these disorders. 87 Stat. 1202And I ask the wholehearted support of all Americans for this vital humanitarian cause.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

World Trade Week, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

May 4, 1973

 A Proclamation

We stand today on the threshold of a new era of peace in the world—a time that opens new and ever-widening opportunities for global cooperation which can bring a greater measure of progress and prosperity for the peoples of all nations. One of the most powerful forces for such progress can be the expansion of world trade.

Our advanced industrial technology, our highly efficient agricultural system, and our increasingly productive labor force have combined to make America the world’s largest exporter of all countries in the world. In the process we have also become the world’s largest marketing country For the products of other countries.

History clearly demonstrates that trade creates more and better-paying jobs for American workers, a wider choice of products for American consumers, enhanced opportunities for the creative and competitive skills of American business, and a higher standard of living for all Americans.

But we also know that expanded trade must be achieved within the context of an international economic system which is fair to all participants. For this reason the United States proposed major reforms in the international monetary field in 1972; marked progress toward their adoption is presently being made. For this same reason, I have recently submitted to the Congress the Trade Reform Act of 1973. Its enactment will enable the United States to enter the international trade negotiations later this year with the tools we need to achieve fair reductions in trade barriers, to help build a new international economic order and to advance our interests within it.

Under such legislation, the United States can continue to work with other nations in building a fair and open trading world.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 20, 1973, as World Trade Week, and I call upon all Americans to cooperate in observing that week by participating with the business community and all levels of Government in activities that emphasize the importance of world trade to the United States economy and to our relations with other nations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and 87 Stat. 1206of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

National Historic Preservation Week

May 5, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

As the pace of change accelerates in the world around us, Americans more than ever before need a lively awareness of our roots and origins in the past on which to base our sense of identity in the present and our directions for the future. “People will not look forward to posterity,” said Burke, “who never look backward to their ancestors.”

America’s history is told not only in books, museums, and monuments, but also across the face of the land itself and along the streets of our cities and towns. Our lives can be immeasurably enriched by preserving as an integral part of modern America some of the settings in which generations before us have lived and worked.

Pressures to sweep away in the name of “progress” such irreplaceable examples of our heritage seem to grow steadily stronger, but the movement to resist those pressures through a farsighted historic preservation effort is gaining strength even faster, with both public and private support. National Historic Preservation Week is an appropriate time to consider what is at stake in this cause, to chart what must be done, and to reaffirm our resolve to do it while there is still time.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the

Ante, p. 65.

United States of America, as requested by Senate Joint Resolution 51, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 6, 1973, as National Historic Preservation Week. I call upon government agencies at all levels, interested private individuals, and concerned citizens to mark this observance with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Mother’s Day, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

May 11, 1973

 A Proclamation

For nearly 60 years, this Nation has set aside one day each year to recognize the enormous responsibility a mother bears for the development of her children and our future citizens. Mother’s Day also provides a special opportunity for a grateful Nation to pay tribute to other contributions that the mothers of America are making to our national life.

Today we are in the midst of a national movement to ensure equal rights for women. This movement has helped bring millions of additional women into the work force, performing highly skilled and challenging jobs—many of them previously filled by men. Great numbers of these women are mothers who are pursuing careers even while they continue to carry out major family responsibilities.

American women have made wide-ranging contributions to our country throughout its history. Pioneer women helped push westward the American frontier. Women have filled countless industrial positions in wartime when men have entered the Armed Forces. In medicine, science, law, education and every other profession, women have helped this country achieve unparalleled successes.

It is appropriate on this Mother’s Day that we honor mothers of every generation:

—Older mothers, many of whom are widowed and living alone. —Mothers in their middle years who began careers after their children were grown. —Younger mothers who devote full time to their family responsibilities. —Mothers who, in addition to their vital role at home, are engaged in volunteer service or employment that is of inestimable value to our economy and the quality of American life.

And particularly, this year, we honor the mothers and wives of those who served in the Vietnam war, especially those whose loved ones lost their lives or were held as prisoners of war.

87 Stat. 1210

36 USC 142.

The Congress, by a joint resolution of May 8, 1914 (38 Stat. 770), designated the second Sunday of May each year as a day on which to honor all mothers for their countless contributions to their families, their communities, and the Nation.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America do hereby request that Sunday, May 13, 1973, be observed as Mother’s Day. I urge Government officials and all citizens to mark that day by displaying the flag of the United States and by participating in appropriate observances.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Prayer for Peace Memorial Day, May 28, 1973

May 25, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

This day of memorial to those who have given their lives to preserve America’s freedom over the centuries has special meaning for us in 1973. The longest and most difficult war in our history is over. The brave men who served so well in that conflict are home again; our valiant prisoners are free at last and reunited with their loved ones—all made possible by the firm resolve of the American people. Thus our prayers for peace this day are also prayers of thanksgiving.

Through our history we have seen despotisms and ideologies come and declare themselves the wave of the future, crushing freedom under foot—but each has passed, and freedom, sure as spring, has pushed up through the ruins again to reaffirm the essential dignity of man.

Americans have been on the side of that dignity in every war we have fought. Today, freedom survives in South Vietnam, and generations hence, the literature of liberty will tell that America demonstrated fully and finally its great commitment to its founding principles by fighting on behalf of just eighteen million people half a world away—and by achieving at last what we fought for.

87 Stat. 1211

Those who stood at Hue and Khe Sanh were the spiritual descendants of the heroes of Chosin, Bastogne, Gettysburg, and Lexington. The patriotic line continues unbroken. America called, and the answer came back yes.

Now those soldiers and sailors and airmen who have kept freedom’s faith look to America—not for thanks, but to know if we have marked their deeds and if, in the way we live our freedom, we are determined to be worthy of those deeds.

Only by working to make war obsolete in the future can we truly redeem the sacrifices of patriots who fell in the wars of the past. The tensions which still exist among nations will yield to negotiation if we are steadfast in our purpose and patient in our endeavor. New relationships are already taking shape, pointing to the creation of a more stable and open world, a world in which hatred and discrimination are replaced by brotherhood and understanding—above all, a world free forever of fear and want and war.

This is the dream for which generations of American fighting men have made the ultimate sacrifice, from the bridge at Concord to the jungles of Vietnam. It can be achieved. Their sacrifices have moved us ever closer to it.

The Congress, by a joint resolution approved May 11, 1950, has

64 Stat. 158.

requested the President to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe each Memorial Day as a day of prayer for permanent peace.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Memorial Day, Monday, May 28, 1973, as a day of prayer for permanent peace, and I designate the hour beginning in each locality at 11 o’clock in the morning of that day as a time to unite in prayer.

I urge the press, radio, television, and all other information media to cooperate in this observance.

As a special mark of respect for those Americans who have given their lives in the war in Vietnam, I direct that the flag of the United States be flown at half-staff all day on Memorial Day on all buildings, grounds, and naval vessels of the Federal Government throughout the United States and all areas under its jurisdiction and control.

I also request the Governors of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the appropriate officials of all local units of government to direct that the flag be flown at half-staff on all public buildings during that entire day, and request the people of the United States to display the flag at half-staff from their homes for the same period.

87 Stat. 1212

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

World Environment Day

June 4, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

As the astronauts of Skylab I orbit the earth in America’s first manned space station, we are mindful once again of the essential unity of mankind—bound together by the finite resources of one small planet. One of the chief concerns of this and subsequent space missions will be the resources of the earth and the quality of its environment. As before, our findings will form the basis for positive contributions to our fellow man.

But we do not have to rely upon the results of space research to improve the earth’s environment. All men and women have a personal role to play in this vital endeavor. The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held last June, with the participation of one hundred and thirteen nations, was a reflection of the increased understanding of all mankind that environmental quality is everybody’s business—superseding any temporary differences which may hamper relations between nations.

In response to a resolution of the Conference on the Human Environment, the United Nations General Assembly last December endorsed a recommendation reading, in part, as follows:

“The General Assembly . . . designates 5 June as World Environment Day and urges Governments and the organizations in the United Nations System to undertake on that day every year worldwide activities reaffirming their concern for the preservation and enhancement of the environment, with a view to deepening environmental awareness and to pursuing the determination expressed at the Conference.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do, in support of the action of the United Nations General Assembly, call on the people of the United States and United States Government agencies to observe June 5 as World Environ-87 Stat. 1213ment Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities emphasizing the concern of Americans for a better environment in which to live.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Flag Day and National Flag Week, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

June 8, 1973

 A Proclamation

The outcome of the American Revolution was far from settled on June 14, 1777, when the Congress resolved that the flag of the United States should have 13 stripes, alternating red and white, and 13 white stars in a field of blue “representing the new constellation.”

The creation of this fresh banner in a New World where European powers long had contended for domination signified the new unity of the American people and their determination to win their independence.

Although the constellation of stars has expanded from 13 to 50 since the 18th century, the flag we revere today has changed very little in the intervening 196 years. It continues to represent our common devotion to the principles of freedom and equality which have sustained Americans ever since those uncertain days when independence was yet to be won.

To commemorate the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as our country’s flag, the Congress, by a joint resolution of August 3, 1949 (63 Stat. 492),

36 USC 157.

designated June 14 of each year as Flag Day and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its observance. The Congress has also requested the President, by a joint resolution of June 9, 1966 (80 Stat. 194), to issue annually a proclamation designating the week in

36 USC 157a.

which June 14 occurs as National Flag Week and calling upon all the citizens of the United States to fly the flag of the United States on the days of that week.

87 Stat. 1214

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning June 10, 1973, as National Flag Week, and I direct the appropriate Government officials to display the flag on all Government buildings during that week.

I urge all Americans to observe Flag Day, June 14, and National Flag Week by flying the Stars and Stripes from their homes and other suitable places.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

American Education Week, 1973

June 11, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

More than physical resources or industrial capacity, this Nation’s greatest asset is its people.

Americans are both a heterogeneous and a homogeneous people, diverse in our multicultural heritage, in our varied talents, in our personal goals. Yet we are also a homogeneous people in our dedication to certain national objectives, among them the goal of broadening and enriching the American experience for our children and their children. One constant theme in our national story from its very beginnings has been our faith in education and our commitment to its advancement.

Educational institutions can be strong and effective only if they receive broad public support and continuing public attention. That is why it is so appropriate that the theme for American Education Week this year is “Get Involved.”

There are many ways for individual Americans to “get involved” in education. For those who hold leadership positions in their communities, getting involved can mean strong support for needed innovation. For those whose profession is education, getting involved can mean subjecting proposed reforms to the most rigorous test of all: Will they benefit students?

87 Stat. 1215

But “getting involved” is appropriate advice for other Americans too. For the businessman who understands the give-and-take of the marketplace, for the oceanographer who understands the mystic cycles of the sea, for the writer who understands the beauty and power of words, getting involved can mean sharing knowledge and enthusiasm with young people struggling to make their own career decisions.

Getting involved can mean taking the time to help a handicapped child learn to read. It can mean raising the aspirations of a disadvantaged child by listening to his hopes and dreams—and by caring about them. It can mean working with gifted young people to help them channel their creativity into productive outlets.

Above all, getting involved means giving support to the dedicated men and women who are entrusted with the education of our children. They are trained professionals who welcome constructive change. They deserve our confidence.

Education should be everyone’s concern, for the knowledge and values imparted to our youth today will determine our future as a people.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of October 21–27, 1973, as American Education Week.

I urge all Americans to join with me during this period in a reaffirmation of faith in our educational system and a new dedication to helping that system meet the challenges that now confront it.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

This year, for the first time in a dozen years, America will be at peace on Independence Day.

For the first time in a generation, none of our young men will be drafted into the armed services.

87 Stat. 1216

Clearly there is much for which we should be thankful. Equally so, we have much upon which to reflect: not only the challenges that still lie ahead but also the qualities of mind and soul that have brought us through the trials of the past and have kept us a great people.

National holidays have traditionally provided us with opportunities for such reflection and celebration. Flag Day, celebrated June 14th, is one Such day; Independence Day is another.

Between the two is a 21-day interval. This year—a year when all of us pray that we may be entering a new era of peace and goodwill among men—it seems particularly fitting that we mark this 21-day period in a very special way.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the period beginning June 14, 1973 and extending through July 4, 1973 as a 21-day salute to our country. “HONOR AMERICA” shall be the theme for this salute. I call on all Americans to join during this period in appropriate public observances and personal activities which will express their love for this country, their respect for its past and their dedication to its future.

This should not be a time in which we ignore our country’s problems. But it should be a time in which we gain renewed appreciation for those physical and spiritual resources which can enable us to meet those problems—and to make our great Nation greater still.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Commemorating the Opening of the Upper Mississippi River

June 14, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Three hundred years ago two French explorers led a small band of men in search of a river the Indians called the Mississippi. It was their 87 Stat. 1217hope that the river would lead to the Pacific Ocean and give access to the riches of the Orient.

Father Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet never reached the Pacific, but their mission was an immense success, for the river they found has brought America wealth beyond measure.

The waters of the Mississippi are the most wide-ranging navigation system in the land; they provide recreational opportunities for millions of Americans; they have been the source of all history and culture that enriches the lives of us all; they nurture our farms and our cities; and they bind our people and the shores of our land from sea to sea.

To commemorate the opening of the upper Mississippi River by Marquette and Jolliet, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 533,

Ante, p. 74.

has asked that June 17, 1973 be designated as a day of commemoration of this event.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate June 17, 1973, as a day of commemoration of the opening of the upper Mississippi River by Jacques Marquette and Louis Jolliet in 1673, and I call upon the people of the United States to join together in acknowledging and appreciating one of our Nation’s greatest natural resources and one of the most significant wellsprings of our cultural heritage.

Father’s Day, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

June 15, 1973

 A Proclamation

Each year, the third Sunday in June is set aside to honor the American father. In a complex and sometimes coldly impersonal age, Father’s Day brings us back to basics.

A basic unit of our society is the family which a father helps to form and hold together. A basic force in our economic life is the work a father does to provide for his wife and children. One of the strongest leadership 87 Stat. 1218influences forming the character of our young people is the example a father sets for his sons and daughters. The very identity through which we know ourselves is rooted in surnames proudly inherited from our fathers and their fathers before them.

All of these things are part of what fatherhood means, yet the whole is also more than the sum of its parts. At its heart is the timeless impulse, commonplace yet wonderfully noble, that moves man to partnership with woman and both to the raising of children, children for whom they strive to build a home and a world a little better than what they themselves have known before.

It is the American father’s glory that he works to make each day of the year his family’s; it is our proper tribute to him, that we should join to make this one day his.

On this Father’s Day we again have the opportunity to pay a justly deserved tribute to the counselors, providers, arbiters, and leaders who are our fathers.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in accordance with a joint resolution of the

86 Stat. 124.

36 USC 142a.

Congress approved April 24, 1972, do hereby request that June 17, 1973, be observed as Father’s Day.

I invite the governments of the States and communities to observe Father’s Day with appropriate ceremonies, and I urge all our people to offer public and private expressions on that day of the abiding love and gratitude which they bear for the fathers of America.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the one hundred ninety-seventh.

National Autistic Children’s Week 1973

June 15, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

One of the most cruel and difficult to understand of all childhood mental disorders is the baffling condition known as childhood autism.

87 Stat. 1219

The autistic child does not develop normal speech, make full contact with the world about him, or learn in the usual way from those who seek to reach him in his seclusion of silence or gibberish.

It is estimated that about four children in every 10,000 are autistic. Without special education and care, nearly all are faced with a life of confinement at home or in an institution for the mentally ill. The human costs are equally disturbing; not only do autistic children lead wasted lives but the lives of their parents are scarred by feelings of frustration as they and others seek to understand the bizarre behavior of the children and try to find help in the community.

Autistic children first received medical recognition as a special group in 1943. Now, thirty years later, the underlying causes of early childhood autism are still unknown, and there is no specific treatment. Furthermore, almost all autistic children continue to be excluded from existing school systems.

The outlook is not without hope, however. Many experts continue to express cautious optimism that somewhere there is a solution to this frustrating mystery—a chemical key, a treatment approach, or a pivotal research discovery that will unlock the autistic child from his forced isolation. To provide greater public recognition of the plight of these children the Congress has, by a Joint Resolution which I approved today,

Ante, p. 74.

called upon me to proclaim the last week of June, 1973, as National Autistic Children’s Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of June 24 through June 30, 1973, as National Autistic Children’s Week. I invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to issue similar proclamations.

I urge the people of the United States and educational, philanthropic, scientific, medical, and health care organizations and professionals to provide the educational and other care services needed by autistic children and to support aggressive research efforts to discover the causes and cure of childhood autism and thus alleviate the suffering of persons struck by this tragic disorder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three and of the Independence of the United States of America, the one hundred ninety-seventh.

White Cane Safety Day, 1973

June 16, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The White Cane has become an emblem that distinguishes more than one million Americans with severe visual disabilities. It is a symbol of their determination to be self-reliant, independent, and productive members of society.

For all its simplicity, the White Cane provides those individuals with the mobility they need to compete in a very complicated world designed by and for people with unimpaired vision. It helps to provide them with almost miraculous ability to walk in strange and sometimes hazardous surroundings without depending on help from others.

Helen Keller—a courageous pioneer in helping her fellow blind—once observed: “* * * of all the senses, sight must be the most delightful.”

Each of us who is blessed with this “delightful” sense, should resolve that while we respect the independence of the visually disabled, we should also make every effort to smooth the path and ease their burden. The first step is to extend every courtesy and care to those who display this badge of courage—the White Cane.

The Congress, as an annual reminder to Americans of the significance of the White Cane, has, by a joint resolution of October 6, 1964 (78

36 USC 169d.

Stat. 1003), authorized the President to proclaim October 15 of each year as White Cane Safety Day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 15, 1973, as White Cane Safety Day.

I urge all Americans to mark this occasion by giving greater consideration for the special needs of the visually handicapped, and particularly by learning to heed the White Cane in order that our visually handicapped may use our streets and public facilities with optimum safety.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

The Chairman has advised me that none of these changes will adversely effect the national security.

I agree with the foregoing recommendations and findings of the Chairman.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including 87 Stat. 1222

Ante, p. 1189.

Subparagraph (1) of paragraph (a) of section 2 thereof is amended to read as follows: “(1) for Districts I–IV, 1,992,000 average barrels per day per calendar year; Provided, That, in addition to the foregoing, there may be imported into District I an average of 50,000 barrels per day of No. 2 fuel oil, manufactured in the Western Hemisphere from crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere under allocations made by the Secretary, pursuant to regulations of the Secretary, to deepwater terminal operators who do not have crude oil import allocations into Districts I–V or Puerto Rico and who, in the allocation period beginning prior to January 1, 1973, had received, from the Secretary, an allocation of imports into District I of No. 2 fuel oil; Provided Further, That the Secretary’ may, by regulation, provide that a holder of an allocation for the importation of No. 2 fuel oil, may import crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere in lieu of No. 2 fuel oil, barrel for barrel, and exchange such crude oil for No. 2 fuel oil. Whenever the Chairman of the Oil Policy Committee, after consultation with the committee, finds that, because of supply, price, or other considerations, the requirement that No. 2 fuel oil be manufactured in the Western Hemisphere from crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere is unduly restricting the availability of such oil for importation into District I and is not required for the national security, he shall so advise the Secretary who shall then suspend such requirement for such period of time as he shall deem compatible with the purposes of this proclamation.” 2.

National Student Government Day By the President of the United States of America

July 2, 1973

 A Proclamation

Fundamental to the American educational ideal is the sense that our schools should be not only centers of learning but also laboratories for democracy. From the primary grades all the way up through the graduate departments of our universities, various forms of self-government and independent decision-making have become an increasingly important factor in the educational process.

Student councils and similar organizations provide students with an opportunity to work together for common purposes, select leaders from among their peers, and deal responsibly with faculty and administrators in their schools. Such opportunities are helping to teach the basic skills of citizenship and to develop the qualities of leadership in the young people who take part. By enhancing the self-respect of students and the mutual respect among groups within a school community, student governments also contribute to that climate of eagerness to learn and grow in which education can best flourish.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 14, 1973, as National Student Government Day. I invite the Governors of the States and of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and other officials at the local level to issue similar proclamations.

87 Stat. 1230

I also urge all educational institutions to join in appropriate activities to highlight the importance of student government and to encourage wider participation in its activities. I further urge all students in our country to acquaint themselves fully with their own student governments, and to play a constructive role in contributing to their success.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Columbus Day, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

August 14, 1973

 A Proclamation

The pages of history teach us that it is the extraordinary man who has shaped our past and thus determined much of what we are today. Such a man was Christopher Columbus, son of Italy and explorer of the New World.

Columbus launched the great age of discovery in the Americas. For five centuries, the spirit of discovery has continued to flourish here. On this Columbus Day, we can usefully reflect on the many ways in which that spirit still lives on, not only in our efforts to expand our physical horizons but in everything we do which helps us broaden our understanding of our world and of ourselves.

In recognizing our debt to the great navigator, we are mindful that his most enduring legacies to us are those qualities of vision, faith, and boldness without which progress can never take place. His determination to seek the truth against great odds continues to inspire our efforts to achieve a better and more peaceful world.

In tribute to the achievement of Columbus, the Congress of the United States, by joint resolution approved April 30, 1934 (48 Stat. 657), as modified by the act of June 28, 1968 (82 Stat. 250), requested

36 USC 146.

5 USC 6103.

the President to proclaim the second Monday in October of each year as Columbus Day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Monday, October 8, 1973, as Columbus Day. I invite the people of this Nation to observe that day in schools, churches, and other suitable places with appropriate ceremonies in honor of the great explorer. I also direct that the flag of the 87 Stat. 1234United States be displayed on all public buildings on the appointed day in memory of Christopher Columbus.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-eighth.

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

On the eleventh day of October, 1973, the people of the United States will honor the 194th anniversary of the death of Casimir Pulaski, a dedicated patriot who fought selflessly and courageously for the cause of freedom both in Poland and America. It was on October 11, 1779 that Pulaski gave his life for the infant American nation, dying in an attempt to free the city of Savannah, Georgia.

Today, in remembrance of his heroic sacrifice, we pay grateful tribute to Casimir Pulaski. As we do, we also pay tribute to all other Americans of Polish ancestry who have contributed to the greatness of America. Their energies and their devotion have been instrumental in the building of our country from our earliest years down to the present day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thursday, October 11, 1973, as General Pulaski’s Memorial Day, and I direct the appropriate officials to display the United States flag on that day on all Government buildings.

I also invite the people of America to set aside this day for appropriate ceremonies in honor of the memory of General Casimir Pulaski and his dedication to the defense of liberty.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-87 Stat. 1235three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.

Leif Erikson Day, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

August 15, 1973

 A Proclamation

Leif Erikson first established ties between the Nordic countries and the New World when he and his companion Norse explorers landed on the North American continent in the 11th century. Their success in the face of formidable odds provides a memorable example of how vision and faith and courage can achieve even the most elusive goals.

From Leif Erikson’s day to ours, the Nordic culture has been a major influence in shaping the American character. As we honor his memory, we also honor the contributions of those who followed later in the path that he first traveled.

It is with these thoughts in mind that I happily comply with the request of the Congress of the United States, in a joint resolution approved September 2, 1964 (78 Stat. 849), that the President proclaim October 9

36 USC 169c.

in each year as Leif Erikson Day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Tuesday, October 9, 1973, as Leif Erikson Day; and I direct the appropriate Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings that day.

I also invite the people of the United States to honor the memory of Leif Erikson on that day by holding appropriate exercises and ceremonies in suitable places across our land.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, 87 Stat. 1236and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-eighth.

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

When we think of our American judicial system we think most often of the judges, lawyers, court reporters, juries, clients, law enforcement officers and others who are a part of the courtroom scene. But often we fail to give proper recognition to the legal secretaries who make it possible for our judicial system to function effectively.

Highly trained and highly skilled legal secretaries make an indispensable contribution to the administration of justice in America. Because they work behind the scenes, however, many of these individuals have little opportunity for exposure to actual courtroom proceedings. Many believe that courtroom exposure of this type would enrich their understanding of their work.

To emphasize the desirability of courtroom experience for legal secretaries, the Congress has enacted House Joint Resolution 466, the

Ante, p. 349.

93rd Congress, which authorizes and requests the President to proclaim the second full week in October of this year as National Legal Secretaries’ Court Observance Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning October 14, 1973, as National Legal Secretaries’ Court Observance Week. I call upon the people of the United States, particularly the legal community, to observe that week with appropriate activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.

National Next Door Neighbor Day, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

August 16, 1973

 A Proclamation

In recent years, our growing ability to travel and communicate across great distances has caused some loosening in those bonds of neighborhood and community which have always been fundamental to the fabric of American life. These ties have not snapped, however; they still exist. And we can contribute a great deal to the quality of our existence and to the vitality of our society by doing all we can to revive and strengthen the place of neighborliness in our daily lives.

We cannot expect to have good neighbors, however, unless we are ready to be good neighbors, to go out of our way to extend friendship and support to those who live near us. Each of us, after all, is our neighbor’s neighbor—and the responsibility for building a happier, livelier, fuller life in each of our communities must rest, in the end, with each of us.

It was with these important thoughts in mind that the Congress enacted Senate Joint Resolution 25, 93rd Congress, which authorizes

Ante, p. 349.

and requests the President to issue a proclamation designating the fourth Sunday of September, 1973, as National Next Door Neighbor Day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the fourth Sunday of September, 1973, as National Next Door Neighbor Day, and do call upon the people of the United States and interested groups and organizations to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-eighth.
4236 August 16, 1973 Women’s Equality Day Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation 87 Stat. 1238 PROCLAMATION 4236
Women’s Equality Day

August 16, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Fifty-three years ago, on August 26, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment

USC prec. title 1.

was certified as part of our Constitution, assuring that “the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.”

The struggle for women’s suffrage, however, was only the first step toward full and equal participation of women in our Nation’s life. In recent years, we have made other giant strides by attacking sex discrimination through our laws and by paving new avenues to equal economic opportunity for women. Today, in virtually every sector of our society, women are making important contributions to the quality of American life.

And yet, much still remains to be done. American women, though they represent a majority of our population, still suffer from myriad forms of discrimination.

In the pursuit of equal rights for women, the Federal Government must take the lead and set the example. As I reminded the heads of executive departments and agencies in 1971, American women represent an important reservoir of ability and dedication which Government must draw upon to a greater degree. I therefore directed at that time that the Government demonstrate its recognition of the equality of women by making greater use of their skills.

Last year, with the enactment of the Equal Employment Opportunity

86 Stat. 103.

42 USC 2000e note.

Act of 1972, a strong new statutory base was provided for furthering equal opportunity for women in the Federal Government. With the help of this new tool, Federal agencies are now carrying out affirmative action plans to guarantee full opportunity for the advancement of women in accordance with their abilities. During the past two years, the number 87 Stat. 1239of women in the middle and higher grade levels of Government employment has significantly increased. And we are determined to do better still.

While we are making great strides to eliminate outright job discrimination because of sex in the Federal Government, we must recognize that people’s attitudes cannot be changed by laws alone. There still exist elusive prejudices born of mores and customs that stand in the way of progress for women. We must do all that we can to overcome these barriers against what is fair and right.

Because I firmly believe that women should not be denied equal protection of the laws of this Nation and equal opportunity to participate fully in our national life, I reaffirm again my support for the Equal Rights Amendment to the Constitution. This amendment can represent

86 Stat. 1523.

a giant step forward in achieving full equality of opportunity for all Americans as we approach the 200th birthday of our Nation. I hope it will be speedily ratified.

The Congress has, by House Joint Resolution 52, 93rd Congress, designated August 26, 1973, as Women’s Equality Day, and authorized

Ante, p 350.

and requested the President to issue a proclamation in commemoration of that day in 1920 on which women of America were first guaranteed the right to vote.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of the United States and interested groups and organizations to observe August 26, 1973, as Women’s Equality Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I further urge all our people to use this occasion to reflect on the importance of achieving equal rights and opportunities for women and to dedicate themselves anew to that great goal. For the cause of equal rights and opportunities for women is inseparable from the cause of human dignity and equal justice for all.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-eighth.

Citizenship Day and Constitution Week

August 23, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

For nearly two centuries, generations of Americans have cherished the blessing of self-government under the Constitution of the United

USC prec. title 1.

States—that great charter which William Gladstone called “the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man.”

Borrowing what seemed best from other representative democracies and devising other elements out of their own genius, the framers of our Constitution erected the balanced and durable system that has weathered so many national crises so well over the decades since. The wise principles they built on—including a federal union of States, a bill of individual rights, and a division of powers among three coequal and independent branches of government—remain as vital today as they were in 1787 for the vigorous pursuit of public purposes and the restraint of arbitrary rule.

Experience has also taught us that constitutional government and democratic citizenship must go hand in hand, for only an informed and active citizenry can breathe life into the institutions of government. It is fitting, then, that the Congress by joint resolutions of February 29,

66 Stat. 9.

36 USC 153.

70 Stat. 932.

36 USC 159.

1952, and August 2, 1956, has ordained that we honor the two together each September, by observing the anniversary of the signing of the Constitution as Citizenship Day and the week following that day as Constitution Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, call upon appropriate Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on Citizenship Day, September 17, 1973. I urge Federal, State, and local officials, as well as leaders of civic, educational and religious organizations to conduct appropriate ceremonies and programs on that day.

I also designate as Constitution Week the period beginning September 17 and ending September 23, 1973. I urge all Americans to observe the week with such commemorative and educational activities as may 87 Stat. 1241foster a better understanding of, and deeper reverence for, the Constitution of the United States.

National Highway Week, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

September 4, 1973

 A Proclamation

Since the United States was established, nearly two centuries ago, highways have been our Nation’s lifelines.

In our early days, the roads—crude as they were—enabled our Nation to expand until the Atlantic was linked to the Pacific. Roads symbolized the adventurous spirit of our ancestors as wagon trains rolled ever westward into new sections of our country.

And as the highway system expanded, so, too, did our Nation’s economy.

Today, highways are a vital connecting link in America’s balanced transportation system. They are essential to the achievement of our economic and social goals. And they continue to manifest the American spirit of independence, enabling us to come and go when and where we please.

At the same time, highway transportation poses new challenges today that can be met only by determined and imaginative effort.

We must work to enhance the efficiency of all transportation so that we can better conserve our fuel supplies and reduce urban congestion. I urge all Americans to join in this effort, to make use of public transportation and carpools wherever possible, and to otherwise save motor fuel.

We must harmonize highway transportation with our environment so that we can more fully enjoy the blessings of nature and the works of man.

All of us must do our very best to prevent highway accidents, reducing the unacceptable price we pay each day in death and suffering on our roadways.

The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1973, which I recently signed into

Ante, p. 250.

law, will provide a major tool in meeting these challenges by giving State 87 Stat. 1244and local officials a broader range of alternative solutions as they address their transportation requirements.

Only by meeting these challenges today can we continue to enjoy the full benefits of our highway system tomorrow.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning September 23, 1973, as National Highway Week. I urge Federal, State, and local government officials, as well as highway industry and other organizations, to hold appropriate observances during that week, recognizing the benefits which highway transportation has provided for our country in the past and reflecting on how we can best continue to realize those benefits in the future.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninty-eighth.

United Nations Day, 1973

September 4, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Each year the peoples of the world celebrate October 24 as United

59 Stat. 1031.

Nations Day, recalling the date in 1945 when the United Nations Charter came into force. This is an appropriate occasion for people everywhere to renew their adherence to the Charter ideals of peace and human rights, and their determination to promote economic and social progress and a greater measure of justice and freedom for all.

This year the anniversary occurs at a time of dramatic change in world affairs. We sense the promise of a more peaceful world and the opportunity for new strides in international cooperation.

As the world climate improves, the prospects will grow for using the United Nations to alleviate political disputes and for broadening its constructive activity in the social, economic and technological fields.

In some areas, international cooperation is already a longstanding tradition—moving the international mails, regulating international 87 Stat. 1245communications and transportation, preventing the worldwide spread of disease, developing international standards of practice in labor, and many others.

More recently, the United Nations and other international agencies have begun to work in other areas—devising safeguards, for example, for the production of nuclear energy and rules concerning man’s use of outer space; extending the rule of law over the exploitation of the oceans; protecting the environment; protecting the rights of refugees and prisoners of war; and inhibiting the international traffic in narcotic drugs. Efforts are also underway to cope with the problems of population growth and with the hijacking of aircraft and other forms of international terrorism.

In the years ahead the growing interdependence of nations will inevitably require international institutions to be even more effective in dealing with this new agenda. We need to create new arrangements to control new technologies for the common good. We must bridge the interests of rich and poor countries on matters of trade and aid. We must facilitate the exchange of technical and scientific knowledge and encourage modes of cooperative behavior which will permit nations to live together in concord.

Within this framework I hope all Americans will continue to appreciate and analyze, soberly and realistically, the benefits they and all peoples gain from international cooperation—within the United Nations and other institutions—to meet the challenges of the modern world.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Wednesday, October 24, 1973, as United Nations Day. I urge the citizens of this Nation to observe that day with community programs which will promote understanding and support for the United Nations and its affiliated agencies.

I have appointed Donald S. MacNaughton to be United States National Chairman for United Nations Day and, through him, I call upon State and local officials to encourage citizens’ groups and agencies of communication—press, radio, television, and motion pictures—to engage in appropriate observances of United Nations Day in cooperation with the United Nations Association of the United States of America and other interested organizations.

National Hispanic Heritage Week, 1973

September 7, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

As America’s bicentennial celebration draws near, it is particularly fitting that we pay tribute to the different ethnic groups that have worked together to build our Nation. Americans of Hispanic origin have played an instrumental role in our country’s history since the days when America was first opened by European explorers, and the lives of all Americans have been enriched by the lasting and diverse contributions of Hispanic culture.

In the fields as varied as music, architecture, language, education, politics, medicine, literature, industry and religion, Hispanic Americans have contributed wisdom, beauty and spiritual strength. American life today would be infinitely poorer without these contributions. With them, Americans continue to work toward the realization of a dream that is as old as the earliest Spanish explorers—the dream of a new world on a new Continent—a world in which men can reach new heights of freedom and achievement.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning; September 10, 1973, and ending September 16, 1973, as National Hispanic Heritage Week. I call upon all Americans, particularly those in the field of education, to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities, and I urge all Americans to extend a cordial welcome to the recently arrived immigrants and visitors among us who represent the rich heritage of Hispanic lands.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.

National Hunting and Fishing Day By the President of the United States of America

September 14, 1973

 A Proclamation

Hunting and fishing appeal to many Americans.

They provide an opportunity for our people to be outdoors, to travel, and to enjoy the blessings of nature. The result is that both the cause of conservation and the spirit of man are benefitted. Through the purchase of licenses and permits, the payment of excise taxes on hunting and fishing equipment, and voluntary contributions, the hunter or fisherman plays a vital role in the betterment of the Nation’s wildlife resources and in support of hunting and boating safety programs.

The American people have been coming to realize in recent years that the environment of man is one with the environment of fish and wildlife—that which harms one harms the other. This is a truth which has always been understood by the Nation’s sportsmen. They have long been active in the effort to protect and renew our environment and we will continue to look to them for leadership in this vital area.

In recognition of the many worthwhile contributions of the American hunter and angler, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 210, has

Ante, p. 24.

requested the President to declare the fourth Saturday of September, 1973 as National Hunting and Fishing Day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Saturday, September 22, 1973, as National Hunting and Fishing Day.

I urge all our citizens to join with outdoor sportsmen in the wise use of our natural resources and in insuring their proper management for the benefit of future generations.

Fire Prevention Week, 1973

September 14, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Scarcely a day passes that we do not read of a tragic fire which has destroyed life or property somewhere in our land. Each year more than 12,000 lives are lost from fires in America and an additional 300,000 people suffer serious injury. Fires also cause a staggering loss in terms of property damage. Each year the cost in property destroyed by fires in this country is more than $3 billion while another $8 billion is spent on additional fire costs.

While this needless waste cannot be halted completely, we know that active fire prevention can do much to reduce these terrible misfortunes. Two years ago, I appointed a National Commission on Fire Prevention and Control which has since reported its findings concerning our Nation’s fire problem. The Commission’s strong emphasis on fire prevention is persuasive and sensible. It encourages us to place a greater priority on the work of preventing fires before they start rather than simply working to put them out after they begin.

Accidents are often acts beyond our control, but careless accidents can be prevented. Every American must recognize his or her responsibility to make fire prevention an effective national commitment.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning October 7, 1973, as Fire Prevention Week.

I urge all our citizens to involve themselves personally in fire prevention activities in their own communities, working with local fire departments and local governments as well as with the National Fire Protection Association. I also request all Federal agencies, in cooperation with the Federal Fire Council, to conduct effective year-round fire prevention programs in order to help reduce the terrible loss of life and property from fires.

September 17, 1973

 A Proclamation

There are few things in life more delightful than the sight of healthy children—enjoying their youth and looking forward to a long and fulfilling life. One of our most important national responsibilities is the assurance of full and healthy development for the children of America.

Parents, of course, have the primary responsibility for the health of their children and the home is the greatest single influence on child development. But the responsibility for child health is also shared by a wide range of the institutions which help meet children’s needs. In a sense, almost everything we do as a people to foster better social, economic and environmental conditions can have an impact for good on the health of the American child.

Each year since 1928, we have set aside one day as Child Health Day to recognize the enormity of our individual and national responsibility and to reaffirm our commitment to child health.

By joint resolution of May 18, 1928, as amended (36 U.S.C. 143),

45 Stat. 617; 73 Stat. 627.

the Congress requested the President to issue annually a proclamation declaring the first Monday in October as Child Health Day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday, October 1, 1973, as Child Health Day. I invite all citizens, agencies and organizations concerned with child health to join in such activities as will help alert all Americans to the vital importance of improving child health.

National Employ the Handicapped Week, 1973

September 18, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

This country was founded upon a promise made to all of its people: that our government would work to assure every citizen a fair and equal start in the race of life. Implicit in this promise is the concept that a person has a right to compete for any job he is able to perform.

This promise has been kept for a great many of our people, but not for all. Too many handicapped persons—particularly young disabled veterans—are unable to find work.

Perhaps the greatest difficulty a handicapped person faces is not his own disability, but rather the attitudes of society concerning that disability. Yet handicapped people are able to perform a wide range of jobs with great skill and efficiency. The employer who hires the handicapped is not only helping them; he is also helping himself and his country.

Let us all work therefore to make good on the promise America has always held out to its people—allowing each person who is willing to work and who is qualified to work a fair chance to work.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in accordance with a joint resolution of the

59 Stat. 530; 84 Stat. 914.

Congress approved August 11, 1945, as amended (36 U.S.C. 155), do hereby proclaim the week of October 7, 1973, as National Employ the Handicapped Week.

I urge the Nation’s Governors, mayors, and all other public officials, as well as leaders in every area of American life, to join with the handicapped themselves in making this observance a time of new awakening in our country to the value and the importance of employing handicapped men and women.

Johnny Horizon ‘76 Clean Up America Month By the President of the United States of America

September 19, 1973

 A Proclamation

While the Federal Government pursues its national responsibility to prevent pollution of our air, water and land resources, no contribution to a better environment can match the exercise of individual responsibility. We must recognize that environmental improvement and protection require the commitment and positive action of each and every American.

We can have clean air, clean water, beautiful, open forests and shores, but all these will not improve our environment if our immediate surroundings are cluttered and degraded. Our most precious environment is the area in which we live—our city streets and rural towns. Environmental awareness goes far beyond the improvement of what we commonly refer to as our natural resources.

The spirit with which we work to enhance our lives must be one of: “I’ll help, too.” To dramatize this spirit, the Congress has by House Joint Resolution 695, 93rd Congress, designated the period of September

Ante, p. 351.

15 to October 15, 1973 as “Johnny Horizon ‘76 Clean Up America Month” and requested the President to issue a proclamation calling for observance of this month.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim “Clean Up America Month,” and ask our Nation’s attention to the Johnny Horizon ‘76 environmental awareness and action program for America’s 200th birthday and related Bicentennial activities. I urge representatives of business, industry, labor, government, civic groups and other citizens to join 87 Stat. 1252together to demonstrate the significant results that can be realized when Americans translate their concerns into affirmative action. I further urge neighborhood and community cleanups, beautification programs, resource recovery and education programs, anti-litter campaigns, energy and wildlife conservation efforts and other worthwhile activities.

We do not truly know America until, in Whitman’s phrase, we “hear America singing”—singing not only the songs of concert stage and night-club, choir loft and schoolroom, but also the earthy, emotion-packed melodies and lyrics that have come to be called “country.”

At one time, that particularly rich and honest strain in the American musical tradition was largely confined to the geographic areas its name implies: the countryside and Western ranges of America’s heartland. But half a century ago, in 1923, Fiddlin’ John Carson broke through with the first widely popular country music recording, and since then records and the broadcast airwaves have been winning new audiences for country and Western music all over America and around the world—so that now the term describes not just a locale but a state of mind and style of taste, as much beloved downtown as on the farm.

Today, no matter where men and women happen to live, country music may be one of the truest voices speaking to and for them. All of us can better understand our Nation’s head and heart by listening to “hear America singing” in that voice.

87 Stat. 1253

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, ask Americans to mark the month of October, 1973, with suitable observances as Country Music Month.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.

National Day of Prayer, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

October 5, 1973

 A Proclamation

America is a nation under God. This is not a consequence of legislative mandate, but of the spiritual commitment of a people. Throughout our history, we have turned to God for guidance, for sustenance, and in gratitude for the blessings of freedom.

When our forbears stood on the rocks at Plymouth, they turned to God in prayer.

When our Founding Fathers created a nation nearly two hundred years ago, they asked God’s blessing upon their endeavor.

When those who shaped our form of government met in 1787, they sought God’s assistance.

When our Nation threatened to tear itself apart a little over a hundred years ago, Abraham Lincoln turned to God for the understanding to keep us together.

We do not assume God’s favor, but we seek it. We do not suppose that our way is God’s way, but we pray for the wisdom to understand God’s way, and the grace to let it be our own. For we know that neither wealth, nor wisdom, nor strength of arms can sustain a nation’s greatness, except that God look with favor on the purposes of that nation and its people.

The challenges of our future are no less grave than those faced and met by the men and women to whose faith we are indebted for the constantly recurring miracle of America. As we act to meet the challenges of the American future, let us do so with the same profound faith in 87 Stat. 1254the God of our fathers, mindful of the words of the Psalms: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Wednesday, October 17, as National Day of Prayer, 1973. I ask that on this day the people of the United States join in reaffirming our dependence on God’s grace, beseeching His blessings on our endeavors and His guidance in the search for peace, reconciliation, and goodwill among all people.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the one hundred and ninety-eighth.

Veterans Day, 1973

October 5, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

As America enjoys the blessings of peace for the first time in more than a dozen years, it is appropriate that we should pay special honor to those whose service helped us to achieve it.

We salute our veterans on a day of their own each year, a day on which we express our pride in them and our awareness of a debt to them which can never fully be repaid.

At no period in our history has there been more reason to call the Nation’s attention to the achievements of its veterans than today. Never before has peace been more welcome nor prospects for its permanence more substantial.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby call on all Americans to join in observing Monday, October 22, 1973, as Veterans Day, I urge both public ceremony and private contemplation in recognition of the precious gifts of freedom and security that are ours because those we honor have stood in our defense.

87 Stat. 1255

Let us give special consideration on that day to those who have died in our Nation’s wars and those who have been disabled. Let this be a day of remembrance for those veterans who are in our hospitals, a day on which our appreciation is expressed tangibly by our visits and our attention.

Further, let this be a day on which all Americans take special cognizance of the needs of those young veterans who are currently readjusting to civilian life; let us give them personal help and encouragement.

I direct the appropriate officials of Government to arrange for the display of the flag of the United States on this day. I request officials of Federal, State and local governments to support its observance and I urge schools, churches, unions, civic and patriotic organizations to participate in appropriate public ceremonies throughout the Nation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.

National School Lunch Week, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

October 12, 1973

 A Proclamation

The National School Lunch Program—now in its twenty-seventh year—works to ensure nutritious and well-balanced meals to young people in our country. Since its inception, the National School Lunch Program, in close partnership with State and local communities, has provided food, funds, and technical assistance in a comprehensive program of child nutrition.

Today, more than 25 million youngsters participate in the program daily. In recent years, a determined and consistent effort has been made to extend the program’s benefits to schools that do not have lunch or other food programs for their students.

Because of the special need for good nutrition among high school students and the challenge of achieving their full participation in the program, innovative efforts to make the program more relevant to the needs and experience of today’s high school students are now under way.

87 Stat. 1256

76 Stat. 779.

36 USC 168.

By a joint resolution approved on October 9, 1962, the Congress designated the week beginning on the second Sunday of October in each year as National School Lunch Week, and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for observance of that week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby urge the people of the United States to observe the week of October 14, 1973, as National School Lunch Week and to give special and deserved recognition to the role of good nutrition in building a strong America through strong American youth.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.

Drug Abuse Prevention Week, 1973

October 17, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

No problem faced by America is more insidious than the problem of drug abuse. It strikes at the heart of our national well-being, destroying lives, breeding crime, dividing families, and shredding the fabric of mutual trust and concern which is the hallmark of a decent society.

In the past four years, I have given the highest priority to the work of eliminating this danger to our Nation. That effort is now bearing fruit.

Improved law enforcement is reducing illicit narcotics supplies. International cooperation has increased the number of seizures of heroin, opium, and other narcotics. Arrests of drug traffickers and pushers are rising, while drug-related crimes in our major cities have begun to decline. Increased resources for the rehabilitation of addicts have resulted in a decrease in narcotics-related deaths. New treatment facilities are providing for addicts an avenue of escape from the tyranny of drugs.

These indices of progress are heartening, for they demonstrate that we can eliminate drug abuse as America’s public enemy number one and that we are on the way to meeting that objective.

87 Stat. 1257

But our recent success should not cause us to slacken on our pace in this battle. Rather, it should inspire us to redouble our efforts with a view to achieving final victory.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of October 21–27, 1973, as Drug Abuse Prevention Week.

Drug Abuse Prevention Week this year will provide the fourth annual observance of our national commitment to remove drug abuse as a threat to our national life. As the family is the keystone of American life, the theme of Drug Abuse Prevention Week 1973 will be The American Family—A Response to Drug Abuse. I hope that our people will give particular emphasis at this time to the role of the family in strengthening our Nation’s moral fiber. And let us remember, too. that lasting success in the battle against drug abuse will come only if all members of our national family work closely together in this historic struggle.

I call upon officials at every level of government, upon educators, medical professionals, and communicators, upon the business community and the civic groups of our Nation, upon the churches and the clergy, and upon all who bear the special trusts of parenthood and care of the young, to rededicate themselves during this week to the total banishment of drug abuse from American life.

I again urge every American to commit himself wholeheartedly, beginning now, to this supremely important humanitarian cause.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.

National Forest Products Week, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

October 18, 1973

 A Proclamation

As a Nation, we have grown increasingly dependent upon the resources of our forest lands, especially wood and wood products. As the 1970’s have brought record worldwide demands for housing, pulp, paper, 87 Stat. 1258building materials, and furniture, Americans have become more keenly aware of the need for careful management and development of our timber resources so as to ensure a continuous supply of timber and other forest products. As Theodore Roosevelt put it many years ago, forest protection does not limit our resources but “on the contrary, gives the assurance of larger and more certain supplies.”

We have also come to recognize the importance of the forest products industry to the vitality of the Nation’s economy and the maintenance of our high standard of living. For example, the thousands of products that are manufactured from wood each year represent one-fifth of the industrial raw materials in the Nation. Forest products industries provide five percent of the Nation’s employment, and five percent of our gross national product originates in timber based activities.

Projections for future demands of wood and wood products, both at home and abroad, indicate that consumers will want and need even more forest products in the 1980’s and beyond. This means that we must give even greater attention to the protection and renewal of our forest resources. We must find better and more efficient ways to use our timber supply, ways which are consistent with our environmental values. And we must improve the technology for reclaiming and recycling forest products.

In order to give further recognition and emphasis to the importance of forest resources and forest products to the Nation, the Congress has

36 USC 163.

by joint resolution of September 13, 1960 (74 Stat. 898) designated the seven-day period beginning on the third Sunday of October in each year as National Forest Products Week and has requested the President to issue an annual proclamation calling for the observance of that week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of the United States to observe the week beginning October 21, 1973, as National Forest Products Week. I ask that public attention be directed through appropriate activities and ceremonies to the importance of forest products m American life and to the responsibility we have for protecting and using them in the most intelligent manner possible.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.

National Farm-City Week, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

November 12, 1973

 A Proclamation

Never before in history has so much of the world looked to the American farmer for its food supply. The ability of less than 3 million farmers to keep Americans the best-fed people in the world, while simultaneously meeting the demands of countless millions overseas, is one of our Nation’s greatest success stories. This success has contributed significantly not only to our own economic well-being but also to the peace and progress of all mankind.

A strong bond of interdependence links America’s farms to America’s cities. We should do everything we can to strengthen that bond. People in rural areas and people in urban areas must become increasingly aware of the needs and aspirations of those who live elsewhere, for neither group can prosper without the other. National Farm-City Week is an excellent vehicle for advancing this purpose.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the period of November 16 through November 22 as National Farm-City Week.

I call on our agricultural organizations, business groups, labor unions, schools, and other interested groups, to participate in this observance. I request the Department of Agriculture, our land-grant educational institutions, and all appropriate organizations and government officials to mark the significance of National Farm-City Week with special events and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.

Thanksgiving Day, 1973

November 16, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In the first Thanksgiving, man affirmed his determination to live in God’s grace and to act in God’s will on the shores of a new land of promise. In this Thanksgiving season we reaffirm that determination.

Time has not dimmed, nor circumstance diminished the need for God’s hand in all that America may justly endeavor. In times of trial and of triumph that single truth reasserts itself, and a people who have never bowed before men go gladly to their knees in submission to divine power, and in thanks for divine sustenance.

On this Thanksgiving Day we mark the 10th anniversary of the tragic death of President John F. Kennedy. As we give thanks for the bounty and goodness of our land, therefore, let us also pause to reflect on President Kennedy’s contributions to the fife of this Nation we love so dearly.

Those who celebrated the first Thanksgiving had endured hardship and loss, but they kept alive their hope and their faith. Throughout our history, each generation has endured hardship and loss, but our faith and trust in God’s providence has remained undiminished. At this first Thanksgiving in twelve years in which the United States will have been at peace, we see that God’s grace also remains undiminished. For this we give thanks.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in accordance with the wish of the Congress

80 Stat. 515; 82 Stat. 250.

as expressed in Section 6103 of Title 5 of the United States Code, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 22, 1973, as a day of national thanksgiving, and concurrently, a day of prayer for the memory of John F. Kennedy. Let all Americans unite on this day, giving thanks for the manifold blessings vouchsafed our people, and inviting all of those less fortunate than ourselves to share in those blessings in God’s name, for His sake, and for our own.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred 87 Stat. 1263seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.

Bill of Rights Day Human Rights Day and Week By the President of the United States of America

December 7, 1973

 A Proclamation

Among the principles undergirding our Declaration of Independence in 1776 was the fundamental conviction that all men are endowed with certain inalienable rights and that the purpose of instituting governments is to secure these rights. The first Congress acted quickly to secure the basic rights of the American people by proposing ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States. These amendments, our Bill of Rights,

USC prec. title 1.

came into effect one hundred eighty-two years ago, on December 15, 1791, and have served ever since as guiding ideals of our democracy. Each generation of Americans has contributed in its own way to realizing the promise of the Bill of Rights, ensuring its responsiveness to the increasingly complex conditions of American society.

The continuing vitality of that promise depends upon our own steadfast dedication to the principles upon which this Republic was founded. Now, in this decade of our Bicentennial, it is especially appropriate for us to commemorate the anniversary of the adoption of the Bill of Rights and to recall with pride the efforts of our predecessors to make its ideals a true guarantee of the rights of all Americans.

It is fitting that we take note at the same time of the progress made by the world community in its recognition of the rights of all members of the human family. This week marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, to proclaim standards of freedom and equality common to all nations and all peoples. Though widely separated by time and authorship, the Bill of Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights share a common commitment to the ideals of equality, dignity, and individual worth.

87 Stat. 1264

Our actions as Americans to strengthen the Bill of Rights are inseparable from our commitment to the ideals of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The strength and success of our efforts to advance these goals here at home will have a positive impact on the cause of human rights throughout the world.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim December 10, 1973, as Human Rights Day and December 15, 1973, as Bill of Rights Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe the week beginning December 10, 1973, as Human Rights Week. Let us make this observance a time for reaffirming the high principles of the Bill of Rights and of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and for making them a living reality in the daily lives of every American. For each of us, through our own example, can do a great deal to strengthen the cause of liberty and justice for all.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.

Wright Brothers Day, 1973

December 15, 1973

 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Seventy years ago, on December 17, 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright, two bicycle makers from Dayton, Ohio, helped to launch mankind on a new and exciting adventure.

Their historic first flight over the sand dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, in a crude machine they had designed and built themselves, lasted only 12 seconds and covered a mere 120 feet. It represented, however, a critical step in a process which has revolutionized modern society.

The airplane’s ability to move people and goods swiftly, safely, and efficiently is unrivaled. The social ramifications of this development, measured in terms of human mobility and global communications, have been boundless. The airplane has brought people closer together, and 87 Stat. 1265thereby has opened hitherto unimagined opportunities for commercial, political, and cultural exchange. While the airplane has worked to shrink our world in physical terms, it has enormously expanded the human potentialities within it.

It is both fitting and proper, therefore, on this 70th anniversary of powered flight, that we should commemorate the achievements of two resourceful and farsighted men who have come to symbolize America’s inventive genius. To this end, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved December 17, 1963 (77 Stat. 402), has designated the seventeenth day

35 USC 169.

of December of each year as Wright Brothers Day and has requested the President to issue a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of this Nation and their local and national government officials to observe Wright Brothers Day, December 17, 1973, with appropriate ceremonies and activities, both to recall the accomplishment of the Wright brothers and to provide a stimulus to the further progress of aviation in this country and throughout the World.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-eighth.

LAWS AFFECTED IN VOLUME 87 EXPLANATION

General.

The following table is designed to serve as a guide to prior laws which are patently amended, repealed, or otherwise affected by the textual provisions of the public laws and proclamations contained in this volume.

This table is arranged chronologically. In preparing the table the “basic act” principle has been followed. Under this principle the key listing of amendatory legislation will be found under the basic act affected, rather than under intervening amendments thereto. Furthermore, all laws included are treated as if tables covering prior volumes of the United States Statutes at Large were in existence. Thus, no attempt is made to give an historical picture of a law, and only the latest amendment in the chain will be reflected. Occasionally, to promote clarity, cross references have been supplied at key points.

Users of the table should, therefore, look under the date, public law number, or statutes volume and page number of the basic act affected, in order to determine whether changes have been made by the public laws and proclamations contained in this volume. Although a given section of any act may have been added at a later date, the section is carried under the date and statutes citation of the basic act. For this reason the page numbers in the column headed “Statutes volume and page” are the numbers of the page on which each act begins.

The “Comment” column describes the nature of the affecting action. These are editorial comments, intended to reflect what is patent in the laws reviewed, and every effort has been made to avoid interpretations.

From time to time the annual tables will be cumulated and made separately available as a convenience to users. The most recent cumulation is the Laws Affected Tables for 1956–1970, Volumes 70–84, United States Statutes at Large.

Caveat.

This table is editorially compiled and presented as a reference guide only. Hence it has no evidentiary status or legal effect. Indirect or implied relationships are not included. These may be found through use of the Subject Index or through research based on the text itself.

Note.

Volumes 71 through 86 of the United States Statutes at Large included additional tables of amendments and other affecting actions for special groups of materials such as Revised Statutes, Internal Revenue Codes, positive law titles of the United States Code, etc. Other tables listed broad repeals of unspecified provisions and prior laws which were simply referred to in the text. Because of their limited usefulness and the existence in some cases of other research aids for these materials, former tables 2–19 have been discontinued.

The Office of the Federal Register invites criticisms or suggestions as to the usefulness of this finding aid.
