                Proclamation 7167 of February 7, 1999

                
Death of King Hussein

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                Today the world mourns one of its great leaders. A man 
                of principle, a powerful force for good, His Majesty 
                King Hussein was the embodiment of courage, dignity, 
                and wisdom. Steadfast in his support for Middle East 
                peace, he was admired by Americans and beloved by his 
                country. King Hussein was an extraordinary statesman 
                and a true friend of the United States.

                As a mark of respect for the memory of King Hussein, I 
                hereby order, by the authority vested in me as 
                President by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States of America, that the flag of the United 
                States shall be flown at half-staff 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 
                until his interment. I also direct that the flag shall 
                be flown at half-staff during this same period at all 
                United States embassies, legations, consular offices, 
                and other facilities abroad, including all military 
                facilities and naval vessels and stations.

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

                    (Presidential Sig.)
