                A Proclamation

                As a mark of respect for the victims of Hurricane 
                Katrina, 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, Tuesday, September 20, 2005. 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 
                fourth day of September, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand five, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and thirtieth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)B
