Death of Senator Robert C. Byrd, President Pro 
                Tempore of the Senate

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                As a mark of respect for the memory and longstanding 
                service of Senator Robert C. Byrd, President pro 
                tempore of the Senate, I hereby order, by the authority 
                vested in me 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 at the White House 
                and 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 sunset on the day of 
                his interment. I further 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.

                I also direct, that in honor and tribute to this great 
                patriot, that the flag of the United States shall be 
                displayed at full-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 
                on Independence Day, July 4, 2010. I further direct 
                that on that same date, that the flag of the United 
                States shall be flown at full-staff 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 
                thirtieth day of June, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand ten, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
