                As a mark of respect for the memory of Harry A. 
                Blackmun, retired Associate Justice of the Supreme 
                Court of the United States, I hereby order, by the

                and the laws 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 U.S. 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 
                fourth day of March, 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-
