                As a mark of respect for the memory of Lewis F. Powell, 
                Jr., retired Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of

                of the United States of America, that the flag of the 
                United States shall be flown at half-staff on the day 
                of his interment. On such day the flag shall be flown 
                at half-staff until sunset upon all public buildings 
                and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, 
                and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in 
                the District of Columbia and throughout the United 
                States and its Territories and possessions; and at all 
                United States embassies, legations, consular offices,

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
