Honoring the Memory of Pope John Paul II

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                As a mark of respect for His Holiness Pope John Paul 
                II, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me by 
                the Constitution and laws of the United States of 
                America, that the flag of the United States shall be 
                flown at half-staff at the White House and on 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 sunset on the day of his interment. I also direct 
                that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the 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 
                second day of April, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand five, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and twenty-ninth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
