SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

29 USC 2601.

 (a) Findings.—Congress finds that— (1) the number of single-parent households and two-parent households in which the single parent or both parents work is increasing significantly; 107 STAT. 7 (2) it is important for the development of children and the family unit that fathers and mothers be able to participate in early childrearing and the care of family members who have serious health conditions; (3) the lack of employment policies to accommodate working parents can force individuals to choose between job security and parenting; (4) there is inadequate job security for employees who have serious health conditions that prevent them from working for temporary periods; (5) due to the nature of the roles of men and women in our society, the primary responsibility for family caretaking often falls on women, and such responsibility affects the working lives of women more than it affects the working lives of men; and (6) employment standards that apply to one gender only have serious potential for encouraging employers to discriminate against employees and applicants for employment who are of that gender. (b) Purposes.—It is the purpose of this Act— (1) to balance the demands of the workplace with the needs of families, to promote the stability and economic security of families, and to promote national interests in preserving family integrity; (2) to entitle employees to take reasonable leave for medical reasons, for the birth or adoption of a child, and for the care of a child, spouse, or parent who has a serious health condition; (3) to accomplish the purposes described in paragraphs (1) and (2) in a manner that accommodates the legitimate interests of employers; (4) to accomplish the purposes described in paragraphs (1) and (2) in a manner that, consistent with the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, minimizes the potential for employment discrimination on the basis of sex by ensuring generally that leave is available for eligible medical reasons (including maternity-related disability) and for compelling family reasons, on a gender-neutral basis; and (5) to promote the goal of equal employment opportunity for women and men, pursuant to such clause.

 Whereas the Congress recognizes that ethical teachings and values have played a prominent role in the foundation of civilization and in the history of our great Nation; Whereas President William J.

Joint Resolution Concerning the dedication of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Apr. 12, 1993

[H.J. Res. 156]

 Whereas, in 1980, the Congress of the United States established the United States Holocaust Memorial Council (Public Law 96–388, dated October 7, 1980) by unanimous vote and mandated it with the creation of a permanent living memorial museum to the victims of the Holocaust; Whereas, through the great generosity and unstinting efforts of thousands of individuals from all walks of life, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum has now been built on Federal land with private contributions and will be officially dedicated on April 22,1993; Whereas, this institution will underscore the ideals of human rights and individual liberty this Nation was founded upon, as expressed by President George Washington in 1790, when he declared that the United States had created “a government which to bigotry gives no sanction, to persecution no assistance”; Whereas, four administrations and every Congress since 1980, and especially Members of Congress and individuals who have served on the Council and officials of the United States Departments of State, the Interior, and Education, have joined with the American public in bringing this institution to life; and Whereas, this museum signifies national dedication to remembering the Holocaust, and will serve as the Nation’s leading educational facility to teach current and future generations of Americans about this tragic period of human history and its implications for our lives and the choices we make as individuals and societies against crimes based on hate and prejudice regarding race, religion, and sexual preference: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

That the One Hundred Third Congress officially commemorates the opening and recognizes the historic importance of this unique institution as it takes its place among the other great memorials and museums in our Nation’s Capital that honor the democratic precepts this Nation is based upon: and be it further

Resolved,

That Congress encourages all citizens of the United States, and all who come to Washington, District of Columbia, to visit the Museum and avail themselves of the opportunities presented within its walls to learn about the past and to contemplate the moral responsibilities of citizenship; and be it further

Resolved,

That, in remembrance of those who perished in the Holocaust; in tribute to the survivors who came to the United States to build a new life, and who, with their families, have 107 STAT. 48contributed so much to the fabric of our diverse society; in recognition of heroic American soldiers who liberated prisoners of Nazi camps; in recognition of the anonymous bravery of rescuers from many lands who had the courage to care and placed their own lives in peril to help others in need; and in hope that Americans will learn from this museum the need to remain vigilant against bigotry and oppression; we welcome the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum to the center of our American heritage and state now, in recognition of the Museum’s motto, that for the dead and the living and those yet to be born, we do bear witness.

Joint Resolution Designating March 1993 and March 1994 both as “Women’s History Month”.

Apr. 12, 1993

[S.J. Res. 53]

 Whereas American women of every race, class, and ethnic background have made historical contributions to the growth and strength of our Nation in countless recorded and unrecorded ways; Whereas American women have played and continue to play a critical economic, cultural, and social role in every sphere of the life of the Nation by constituting a significant portion of the labor force working inside and outside of the home; Whereas American women have played a unique role throughout the history of the Nation by providing the majority of the volunteer labor force of the Nation; Whereas American women were particularly important in the establishment of early charitable, philanthropic, and cultural institutions in our Nation; Whereas American women of every race, class, and ethnic background served as early leaders in the forefront of every major progressive social change movement; Whereas American women have been leaders not only in securing their own rights of suffrage and equal opportunity, but also in the abolitionist movement, the emancipation movement, the industrial labor movement, the civil rights movement, and other movements, especially the peace movement, which create a more fair and just society for all; and Whereas despite these contributions, the role of American women in history has been consistently overlooked and undervalued in the literature, teaching, and study of American history: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That March 107 STAT. 591993 and March 1994 are designated both as “Women’s History Month”, and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe that month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

The notice shall be in such form as the Secretary shall prescribe. The notice shall contain the name and mailing address of the person filing 107 STAT. 61the notice and a legal description of the lands to which the notice applies. The legal description shall be based on the public land survey or on such other description as is sufficient to permit the Secretary to record the notice on the land status records of the Secretary. Whenever any person has filed a notice under this paragraph with respect to any lands, during the 90-day period following the date of such Bling, or any extension thereof pursuant to this paragraph, no other person (including the surface owner) may— “(A) file such a notice with respect to any portions of such lands; “(B) explore for minerals or locate a mining claim on any portion of such lands; or “(C) file an application to acquire any interest in any portion of such lands pursuant to section 209 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1719). If, within such 90-day period, the person who filed a notice under this paragraph files a plan of operations with the Secretary pursuant to subsection (f), such 90-day period shall be extended until the approval or disapproval of the plan by the Secretaiy pursuant to subsection (f). “(3) Notice to surface owner.— Any person who has filed a notice of intention to locate a mining claim under paragraph (2) for any lands subject to this Act shall provide written notice of such filing, by registered or certified mail with return receipt, to the surface owner (as evidenced by local tax records) of the lands covered by the notice under paragraph (2).

For purposes of this paragraph, the term ‘affiliate’ means, with respect to any person, any other person which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such person. “(c) Consent.—Notwithstanding subsection (a) and any other provision of law, after the effective date of this subsection no person may engage in the conduct of mineral activities (other than those relating to exploration referred to in subsection (b)(1)(B)) on a mining claim located on lands subject to this Act without the written consent of the surface owner thereof unless the Secretary has authorized the conduct of such activities under subsection (d). “(d) Authorized Mineral Activities.—The Secretary shall authorize a person to conduct mineral activities (other than those relating to exploration referred to in subsection (b)(1)(B)) on lands subject to this Act without the consent of the surface owner thereof 107 STAT. 62 if such person complies with the requirements of subsections (e) and (f). “(e) Bond.—(1) Before the Secretary may authorize any person to conduct mineral activities the Secretary shall require such person to post a bond or other financial guarantee in an amount to insure the completion of reclamation pursuant to this Act.

Such plan shall include procedures for— “(A) the minimization of damages to crops and tangible improvements of the surface owner; “(B) the minimization of disruption to grazing or other uses of the land by the surface owner; and “(C) payment of a fee for the use of surface during mineral activities equivalent to the loss of income to the ranch operation as established pursuant to subsection (g). “(2) The Secretary shall provide a copy of the proposed plan of operations to the surface owner at least 45 days prior to the date the Secretary makes a determination as to whether such plan complies with the requirements of this subsection. During such 45-day period the surface owner may submit comments and recommend modifications to the proposed plan of operations to the Secretary. “(3)(A) The Secretaiy shall, within 60 days of receipt of the plan, approve the plan of operations if it complies with the requirements of this Act, including each of the following: “(i) The proposed plan of operations is complete and accurate. “(ii) The person submitting the proposed plan of operations has demonstrated that all other applicable Federal and State requirements have been met. “(B) The Secretary shall notify the person submitting a plan of operations of any modifications to such plan required to bring it into compliance with the requirements of this Act. If the person submitting the plan agrees to modify such plan in a manner acceptable to the Secretary, the Secretary shall approve the plan as modified.

Reclamation shall proceed as contemporaneously as practicable with the conduct of mineral activities. “(i) State Law.—(1) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as affecting any reclamation, bonding, inspection, enforcement, air or water quality standard or requirement of any State law or regulation which may be applicable to mineral activities on lands subject to this Act to the extent that such law or regulation is not inconsistent with this title. “(2) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as affecting in any way the right of any person to enforce or protect, under applicable law, the interest of such person in water resources affected by mineral activities. “(j) Inspections.—Should any surface owner of land subject to this Act have reason to believe that they are or may be adversely affected by mineral activities due to any violation of the terms and conditions of a plan of operations approved under subsection (f), such surface owner may request an inspection of such lands. The Secretary shall determine within 10 days of the receipt of the request whether the request states a reason to believe that a violation exists, except in the event the surface owner alleges and provides reason to believe that an imminent danger exists, the 10-day period shall be waived and the inspection conducted immediately. When an inspection is conducted under this para-107 STAT. 64graph, the Secretary shall notify the surface owner and such surface owner shall be allowed to accompany the inspector on the inspection. “(k) Damages for Failure To Comply.—(1) Whenever the surface owner of any land subject to this Act has suffered any permanent damages to crops or tangible improvements of the surface owner, or any permanent loss of income due to loss or impairment of grazing, or other uses of the land by the surface owner, if such damages or loss result from— “(A) any mineral activity undertaken without the consent of the surface owner under subsection (c) or an authorization by the Secretary under subsection (d); or “(B) the failure of the person conducting mineral activities to remedy to the satisfaction of the Secretary any substantial noncompliance with the terms and conditions of a plan under subsection (f); the surface owner may bring an action in the appropriate United States district court for, and the court may award, double damages plus costs for willful misconduct or gross negligence. “(2) The surface owner of any land subject to this Act may also bring an action in the appropriate United States district court for double damages plus costs for willful misconduct or gross negligence against any person undertaking any mineral activities on lands subject to this Act in violation of any requirement of subsection (b). “(3) Any double damages plus costs awarded by the court under this subsection shall be reduced by the amount of any compensation which the surface owner has received (or is eligible to receive) pursuant to the bond or financial guarantee required under subsection (e). “(l) Payment of Financial Guarantee.—The surface owner of any land subject to this Act may petition the Secretary for payment of all or any portion of a bond or other financial guarantee required under subsection (e) as compensation for any permanent damages to crops and tangible improvements of the surface owner, or any permanent loss of income due to loss or impairment of grazing, or other uses of the land by the surface owner.

[H.J. Res. 80]

 Whereas the brave men and women of the United States of America made tremendous sacrifices during World War II to save the world from tyranny and aggression; Whereas the winds of freedom and democracy sweeping the globe today spring from the principles for which over four hundred thousand Americans gave their lives in World War II; Whereas World War II and the events that led up to that war must be understood in order that we may better understand our own times, and more fully appreciate the reasons why eternal vigilance against any form of tyranny is so important; Whereas the World War II era, as reflected in its family life, industry, and entertainment, was a unique period in American history, and epitomized our Nation’s philosophy of hard work, courage, and tenacity in the face of adversity ; Whereas, between 1991 and 1995, over nine million American veterans of World War II will be holding reunions and conferences and otherwise commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of various events relating to World War II; and Whereas June 4, 1993, marks the Battle of Midway, and June 6, 1993, marks the anniversary of D-Day: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That May 30, 107 STAT. 961993, through June 7, 1993, is designated as a “Time for the National Observance of the Fiftieth Anniversary of World War II”, and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe that period with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

 Whereas emergency medical services is a vital public service; Whereas access to quality emergency care dramatically improves the survival and recovery rate of those who experience sudden illness or injury; Whereas efforts to establish emergency medicine as a medical specialty began 25 years ago with the founding of the American College of Emergency Physicians in 1968; Whereas the members of emergency medical services teams are ready to provide lifesaving care to those in need 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; Whereas emergency medical services teams consist of emergency physicians, emergency nurses, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, firefighters, educators, administrators, and others; Whereas approximately % of all emergency medical services providers are volunteers; Whereas the members of emergency medical services teams, whether career or volunteer, engage in thousands of hours of speciahzed training and continuing education to enhance their lifesaving skills; Whereas Americans benefit daily from the knowledge and skills of these highly trained individuals; Whereas it is appropriate to recognize the value and the accomplishments of emergency medical services providers by designating Emergency Medical Services Week; and Whereas the designation of Emergency Medical Services Week will serve to educate all Americans about injury prevention and how to respond to a medical emergency: Now, therefore, be it 107 STAT. 109 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

 Whereas more than 9,000,000 individuals in the United States suffer traumatic injury each year; Whereas traumatic injury is the leading cause of death for individuals under 44 years of age in the United States; Whereas every individual is a potential victim of traumatic injury; Whereas traumatic injury often occurs without warning; Whereas traumatic injury frequently renders its victims incapable of caring for themselves; Whereas past inattention to the causes and effects of trauma has led to trie inclusion of trauma among the most neglected medical conditions in the United States; Whereas it is estimated that the people of the United States will spend more than $175,000,000,000 this year on the problem of trauma; Whereas trauma is preventable and increased efforts to prevent trauma would reduce or eliminate deaths and disability due to trauma; Whereas the problem of trauma can be remedied only by prevention and treatment through emergency medical services and trauma systems; and Whereas the people of the United States must be educated in the prevention and treatment of trauma and in the proper and effective use of emergency medical systems: Now, therefore, be it 107 STAT. 111 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

[S.J. Res. 43]

 Whereas Lyme disease (borreliosis) is spread primarily by the bite of four types of ticks infected with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi; Whereas Lyme disease-carrying ticks can be found across the country—in woods, mountains, beaches, even in our yards, and no effective tick control measures currently exist; Whereas infected ticks can be carried by animals such as cats, dogs, horses, cows, goats, birds, and transferred to humans; Whereas our pets and livestock can be infected with Lyme disease by ticks; Whereas Lyme disease was first discovered in Europe in 1883 and scientists have recently proven its presence on Long Island as early as the 1940’s; Whereas Lyme disease was first found in Wisconsin in 1969, and derives its name from the diagnosis of a cluster of cases in the mid-1970’s in Lyme, Connecticut; Whereas forty-nine states reported more than forty thousand cases of Lyme disease from 1982 through 1991; Whereas Lyme disease knows no season—the peak west coast and southern season is November to June, the peak east coast and northern season is April to October, and victims suffer all year round; Whereas Lyme disease, easily treated soon after the bite with oral antibiotics, can be difficult to treat (by painful intravenous injections) if not discovered in time, and for some may be incurable; Whereas Lyme disease is difficult to diagnose because there is no reliable test that can directly detect when the infection is present; Whereas the early symptoms of Lyme disease may include rashes, severe headaches, fever, fatigue, and swollen glands; Whereas if left untreated Lyme disease can affect every body system causing severe damage to the heart, brain, eyes, joints, lungs, liver, spleen, blood vessels, and kidneys; Whereas the bacteria can cross the placenta and affect fetal development; Whereas our children are the most vulnerable and most widely affected group; Whereas the best cure for Lyme disease is prevention; Whereas prevention of Lyme disease depends upon public awareness; and 107 STAT. 116 Whereas education is essential to making the general public, health care professionals, employers, and insurers more knowledgeable about Lyme disease and its debilitating side effects: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the week beginning June 6, 1993, and June 5, 1994, is designated as “Lyme Disease Awareness Week”, and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

15 USC 4301 note.

 This Act may be cited as the “National Cooperative Production Amendments of 1993”.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. (a) Findings.— The Congress finds that— (1) technological innovation and its profitable commercialization are critical components of the ability of the United States to raise the living standards of Americans and to compete in world markets; (2) cooperative arrangements among nonaffiliated businesses in the private sector are often essential for successful technological innovation; and (3) the antitrust laws may have been mistakenly perceived to inhibit procompetitive cooperative innovation arrangements, and so clarification serves a useful purpose in helping to promote such arrangements. (b) Purpose.— It is the purpose of this Act to promote innovation, facilitate trade, and strengthen the competitiveness of the United States in world markets by clarifying the applicability of the rule of reason standard and establishing a procedure under which businesses may notify the Department of Justice and Federal Trade Commission of their cooperative ventures and thereby qualify for a single-damages limitation on civil antitrust liability.

[S.J. Res. 88]

 Whereas the National Youth Sports Program (hereafter referred to as “NYSF”) is a highly effective and comprehensive youth sports and educational instruction program in the United States for economically disadvantaged youth, ages 10 to 16 years old; Whereas over 69,000 economically disadvantaged young people participated in NYSP last year at United States colleges and universities in 153 cities, 44 States, and the District of Columbia; Whereas NYSP provides over 70,000 medical and follow-up examinations as well as health instruction by medical professionals to enrolled youth; Whereas NYSP provides hot United States Department of Agriculture-approved meals and snacks daily to all participating youth; Whereas the NYSP staff includes professional instructors with undergraduate degrees who offer educational instruction in drug education, AIDS, higher education, nutrition and health, and math and science, and who offer counseling on such topics as career opportunities, teen pregnancy, anti-gang strategies, and suicide prevention in an effort to promote personal responsibility; Whereas NYSP is administered by an advisory committee composed of community leaders and college and university personnel, and collaborates with local community action agencies and mayors’ offices; Whereas the NYSP partnership between the public and private sectors ensures that Federal funds are used to provide direct services for youth, that institutions of higher education contribute facilities and personnel and pay the indirect costs of the program, and that public and private businesses donate equipment and supplies; and Whereas 1993 marks the 25th year that NYSP has provided economically disadvantaged youth with the opportunity to participate in healthy sports activities in order to encourage these youth to build good habits, to direct the competitive urge toward constructive ends, to stimulate the imagination to reach new goals, and to satisfy the human desire to belong: Now, therefore, be it 107 STAT. 233 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

July 2, 1993

[H.R. 765]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. (a) Findings.— Congress finds the following: (1) Pursuant to the invitation and requirements contained in the 15th paragraph under the heading “Surveying the Public Lands” in the Act of June 4, 1897 (30 Stat. 11, 36), as amended or supplemented by the Acts of June 6, 1900 (31 Stat, 588, 614), March 4, 1901 (31 Stat. 1010, 1037), and September 22, 1922 (42 Stat. 1067), certain landowners or entrymen within forest reserves acted to transfer their lands to the United States as the basis for an in lieu selection of other Federal lands (hereafter in this Act referred to as “lieu lands”) in exchange for such lands within such reserves (hereafter in this Act referred to as “base lands”). (2) By the Act of March 3, 1905 (33 Stat. 1264), Congress repealed the in lieu selection provisions of the Act of June 4, 1897, as amended, and terminated the right to select lieu lands, but expressly preserved the rights of land owners who had valid pending applications for in lieu selections, most of which have subsequently been granted. (3) Other persons affected by the Acts cited in paragraphs (1) and (2) who acted to transfer base lands, or their successors in interest, have never obtained either (A) a patent to the lieu lands or any other consideration for their relinquishment, or (B) a quitclaim of their base lands, notwithstanding relief legislation enacted in 1922 and 1930. (4) By the Act of July 6, 1960 (74 Stat. 334), Congress established a procedure to compensate persons affected by the Acts cited in paragraphs (1) and (2) who had not received appropriate relief under prior legislation. However, no payments of such compensation were made under that Act. (5) Section 4 of the Act of July 6, 1960, further provided that lands with respect to which compensation under that Act were or could have been made, and not previously disposed of by the United States, shall be a part of any national forest, national park, or other area withdrawn from the public domain wherein they are located. (6) Absent further legislation, lengthy and expensive litigation will be required to resolve existing questions about the title to lands covered by section 4 of the 1960 Act. 107 STAT. 235 (b) Purpose.— The purpose of this Act is to resolve the status of the title to base lands affected by the past legislation cited in subsection (a).
SEC. 2. IDENTIFICATION AND QUITCLAIM OF FEDERAL INTEREST IN BASE LANDS. (a) Quitclaim.— Except as otherwise provided by this Act, and subject to valid existing rights, but notwithstanding any other provision of law, the United States hereby quitclaims to the listed owner or entryman, his heirs, devisees, successors, and assigns, all right, title, and interest of the United States in and to the base lands described on a final list published pursuant to subsection (d)(1), effective on the date of publication of such list. (b) Preparation of Initial Lists.— (1) Not later than 6 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of the Interior, with respect to lands under such Secretary's jurisdiction, and the Secretary of Agriculture with respect to National Forest System lands, shall each prepare an initial list of all parcels of base lands that were relinquished to the United States pursuant to the Act of June 4, 1897 (as amended), and for which selection or other rights under that Act or supplemental legislation were not realized or exercised. (2) The initial lists prepared under paragraph (1) shall be based on information in the actual possession of the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture on the date of enactment of this Act, including information submitted to Congress pursuant to the directive contained in Senate Report No. 98–578, issued for the Fiscal Year 1985 Interior and Related Agencies Appropriation, as revised and updated. The initial lists shall be published and distributed

Public information.

 for public review in accordance with procedures adopted by the Secretary concerned. (3) For a period of 180 days after publication of a list pursuant to paragraph (2), persons asserting that particular parcels omitted from such a list should have been included may request the Secretary concerned to add such parcels to the appropriate list. The Secretary concerned shall add to the list any such parcels which the Secretary determines meet the conditions specified in paragraph (1). (c) Nationally Significant Lands.— (1) During preparation or revision of an initial list under subsection (b), the Secretary concerned shall identify those listed lands which are located wholly or partially within any conservation system unit and all other listed lands which Congress has designated for specific management or which the Secretary concerned decides, in the concerned Secretary's sole discretion, should be retained in order to meet public, resource protection, or administrative needs. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “conservation system unit” means any unit of the National Park System, National Wildlife Refuge System, National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, National Trails System, or National Wilderness Preservation System, a national forest monument, or a national conservation area, a national recreation area, or any lands being studied for possible designation as part of such a system or unit. (2) The provisions of subsection (a) shall not apply to any lands identified by the Secretary concerned pursuant to paragraph (1). The Secretary concerned shall not include any such lands on any list prepared pursuant to subsection (d). Subject to valid exist-107 STAT. 236ing rights arising from factors other than those described in subsection (b)(1), any right, title, and interest in and to lands identified pursuant to paragraph (1) and not previously vested in the United States is hereby vested and confirmed in the United States. (3) In the same manner as the initial list was published and information. distributed pursuant to subsection (b)(2), the Secretary concerned shall publish and distribute an identification of all lands in which right, title, and interest is vested and confirmed in the United States by paragraph (2). (d) Final Lists.— (1) As soon as possible after considering any requests made pursuant to subsection (b)(3) and the identification of lands pursuant to subsection (c), the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture shall each publish a final list, consisting of lands included on each Secretary's initial list not identified pursuant to subsection (c)(1). Unless a Secretary has published a final list on or before the date 24 months after the date of publication, pursuant to subsection (b)(2), of such Secretary's initial list, the initial list prepared by such Secretary shall be deemed on such date to be the final list required to be published by such Secretary, and thereafter no lands included on such initial list shall be excluded from operation of subsection (a) except lands located wholly or partially within a conservation system unit or any other area which Congress has designated for specific management. (2) If after publication of a final list a court makes a final decision that a parcel of land was arbitrarily and capriciously excluded from an initial list as provided by subsection (b), such parcel shall be deemed to have been included on a final list published pursuant to paragraph (1), unless such parcel is located wholly or partially inside a conservation system unit or any other area which Congress has designated for specific management, in which case such parcel shall be subject to the provisions of subsection (c)(2). (e) Issuance of Instruments.— (1) Except as otherwise provided in this Act, no later than 6 months after the date on which the Secretary concerned publishes a final list of lands pursuant to subsection (d), the Secretary concerned shall issue documents of disclaimer of interest confirming the quitclaim made by subsection (a) of this section of all right, title, and interest of the United States in and to the lands included on such final list, subject to valid existing rights arising from factors other than a relinquishment to the United States of the type described in subsection (b). Each such confirmatory document of disclaimer of interest shall operate to estop the United States from making any claim of right, title, or interest of the United States in and to the base lands described in the document of disclaimer of interest, shall be made in the name of the listed owner or entr3nnan, his heirs, devisees, successors, and assigns, and shall be in a form suitable for recordation and shall be filed and recorded by the United States with the recorder of deeds or other like official of the county or counties within which the lands covered by such confirmatory document of disclaimer of interest are located so that the title to such lands may be determined in accordance with applicable State law. (2) The United States shall not adjudicate and, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, does not consent to be sued in any suit instituted to adjudicate the ownership of, or to quiet107 STAT. 237 title to, any base land included in a final list and described in a confirmatory document of disclaimer of interest. (3) Neither the Secretary of the Interior nor the Secretary of Agriculture shall be required to inspect any lands included on a final list nor to inform any member of the public regarding the condition of such lands prior to the issuance of any confirmatory document of disclaimer of interest required by this subsection, and nothing in this Act shall be construed as affecting any valid rights with respect to lands covered by a confirmatory document of disclaimer of interest issued pursuant to this subsection that were in existence on the date of issuance of such confirmatory document of disclaimer of interest. (4) For purposes of this Act, the term “document of disclaimer of interest” means a memorandum or other document, however styled or described, that references the quitclaim made by subsection (a) of this section and that meets the requirements for recordation established by applicable laws of the State in which the lands to which such document refers are located. (f) Waiver of Certain Claims Against the United States.— Any person or entity accepting the benefits of this Act or failing to act to seek such benefits within the time allotted by this Act with respect to any base or other lands shall be deemed to have waived any claims against the United States, its agents or contractors, with respect to such lands, or with respect to any revenues received by the United States from such lands prior to the date of enactment of this Act. All non-Federal, third party rights granted by the United States with respect to base lands shall remain effective subject to the terms and conditions of the authorizing document. The United States may reserve any rights-of-way currently occupied or used for Government purposes.
SEC. 3. OTHER CLAIMS. (a) Jurisdiction and Deadline.— (1) Subject to the requirements and limitations of this section, a party claiming right, title, or interest in or to land vested in the United States by section 2(c)(2) of this Act may file in the United States Claims Court a claim against the United States seeking compensation based on such vesting. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Claims Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over such claim. (2) A claim described in paragraph (1) shall be barred unless the petition thereon is filed within 1 year after the date of publication of a final list pursuant to section 2(d) of this Act. (3) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as authorizing any claim to be brought in any court other than a claim brought in the United States Claims Court based upon the vesting of right, title, and interest in and to the United States made by section 2(c)(2) of this Act. (b) Limitations, Defenses, and Awards.— (1) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as diminishing any existing right, title, or interest of the United States in any lands covered by section 2(c), including but not limited to any such right, title, or interest established by the Act of July 6, 1960 (74 Stat. 334). (2) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as precluding or limiting any defenses or claims (including but not limited to defenses based on applicable statutes of limitations, affirmative defenses relating to fraud or speculative practices, or claims by the United States based on adverse possession) otherwise available to107 STAT. 238 the United States. (3) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as entitling any party to compensation from the United States. However, in the event of a final judgment of the United States Claims Court in favor of a party seeking such compensation, or in the event of a negotiated settlement agreement made between such a party and the Attorney General of the United States, the United States shall pay such compensation from the permanent judgment appropriation established pursuant to section 1304 of title 31, United States Code. (c) Savings Clause.— This Act does not include within its scope selection rights required to be recorded under the Act of August 5, 1955 (69 Stat. 534), regardless of whether compensation authorized by the Act of August 31, 1964 (78 Stat. 751) was or was not received.
SEC. 4. AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS. There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out this Act.

Joint Resolution Designating July 2, 1993 and July 2, 1994 as “National Literacy Day”.

July 16, 1993

[H.J. Res. 213]

 Whereas forty-two million Americans today read at a level which is less than necessary for full survival needs; Whereas there are thirty million adults in the United States who cannot read, whose resources are left untapped, and who are unable to offer their full contribution to society; Whereas illiteracy is growing rapidly, as two million three hundred thousand persons, including one million two hundred thousand legal and illegal immigrants, one million high school dropouts, and one hundred thousand refugees, are added to the pool of illiterates annually; Whereas the annual cost of illiteracy to the United States in terms of welfare expenditures, crime, prison expenses, lost revenues, and industrial and military accidents has been estimated at $225,000,000,000; Whereas the competitiveness of the United States is eroded by the presence in the workplace of millions of Americans who are functionally or technologically illiterate; Whereas there is a direct correlation between the number of illiterate adults unable to perform at the standard necessary for available employment and the money allocated to child welfare and unemployment compensation; Whereas the percentage of illiterates in proportion to population size is higher for blacks and Hispanics, resulting in increased economic and social discrimination against these minorities; Whereas the prison population represents the single highest concentration of adult illiteracy; Whereas one million children in the United States between the ages of twelve and seventeen cannot read above a third grade level, 13 per centum of all seventeen-year-olds are functionally illiterate, and 15 per centum of graduates of urban high schools read at less than a sixth grade level; Whereas 85 per centum of the juveniles who appear in criminal court are functionally illiterate; Whereas the 47 per centum illiteracy rate among black youths is expected to increase; Whereas one-half of all heads of households cannot read past the eighth grade level and one-third of all mothers on welfare are functionally illiterate; Whereas the cycle of illiteracy continues because the children of illiterate parents are often illiterate themselves because of the lack of support they receive from their home environment; 107 STAT. 272 Whereas Federal, State, municipal, and private literacy programs have only been able to reach 5 per centum of the total illiterate population; Whereas it is vital to call attention to the problem of illiteracy, to understand the severity of the problem and its detrimental effects on our society, and to reach those who are illiterate and unaware of the free services and help available to them; and Whereas it is also necessary to recognize and thank the thousands of volunteers who are working to promote literacy and provide support to the millions of illiterates in need of assistance: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That July 2, 1993 and July 2, 1994 are designated as “National Literacy Day”, and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

31 USC 1115 note.

 This Act may be cited as the “Government Performance and Results Act of 1993”.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. (a) Findings.— The Congress finds that— (1) waste and inefficiency in Federal programs undermine the confidence of the American people in the Government and reduces the Federal Government s ability to address adequately vital public needs; (2) Federal managers are seriously disadvantaged in their efforts to improve program efficiency and effectiveness, because of insufficient articulation of program goals and inadequate information on program performance; and (3) congressional policymaking, spending decisions and program oversight are seriously handicapped by insufficient attention to program performance and results. (b) Purposes.— The purposes of this Act are to— (1) improve the confidence of the American people in the capability of the Federal Government, by systematically holding Federal agencies accountable for achieving program results; (2) initiate program performance reform with a series of pilot projects in setting program goals, measuring program performance against those goals, and reporting publicly on their progress; (3) improve Federal program effectiveness and public accountability by promoting a new focus on results, service quality, and customer satisfaction; (4) help Federal managers improve service delivery, by requiring that they plan for meeting program objectives and by providing them with information about program results and service quality; (5) improve congressional decisionmaking by providing more objective information on achieving statutory objectives, and on the relative effectiveness and efficiency of Federal programs and spending; and (6) improve internal management of the Federal Government.

[H.R. 236]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Environmental protection.

Public lands.
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

16 USC 460iii.

 The Congress finds the following: (1) The public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management in the State of Idaho within the Snake River Birds of Prey Area contain one of the densest known nesting populations of eagles, falcons, owls, hawks, and other birds of prey (raptors) in North America. (2) These public lands constitute a valuable national biological and educational resource since birds of prey are important components of the ecosystem and indicators of environmental quality, and contribute significantly to the quality of wildlife and human communities. (3) These public lands also contain important historic and cultural resources (including significant archaeological resources) as well as other resources and values, all of which should be protected and appropriately managed. (4) A military training area within the Snake River Birds of Prey Area, known as the Orchard Training Area, has been used since 1953 by reserve components of the Armed Forces. Military use of this area is currently governed by a Memorandum of Understanding between the Bureau of Land Management and the State of Idaho Military Division, dated May 1985. Operating under this Memorandum of Understanding, the Idaho National Guard has provided valuable assistance to the Bureau of Land Management with respect to fire control and other aspects of management of the Orchard Training Area and the other lands in the Snake River Birds of Prey Area. Military use of the lands within the Orchard Training Area should continue in accordance with such Memorandum of Understanding (or extension or renewal thereof), to the extent consistent with section 4(e) of this Act, because this would be in the best interest of training of the reserve components (an important aspect of national security) and of the local economy. (5) Protection of the conservation area as a home for raptors can best and should be accomplished by the Secretary of the Interior, acting through the Bureau of Land Management, under a management plan that— 107 STAT. 303 (A) emphasizes management, protection, and rehabilitation of habitat for these raptors and of other resources and values of the area; (B) provides for continued military use, consistent with the requirements of section 4(e) of this Act, of the Orchard Training Area by reserve components of the Armed Forces; (C) addresses the need for public educational and interpretive opportunities; (D) allows for diverse appropriate uses of lands in the area to the extent consistent with the maintenance and enhancement of raptor populations and habitats and protection and sound management of other resources and values of the area; and (E) demonstrates management practices and techniques that may be useful to other areas of the public lands and elsewhere. (6) There exists near the conservation area a facility, the World Center for Birds of Prey operated by The Peregrine Fund, Inc., where research, public education, recovery, and reestablishment operations exist for endangered raptor species. There also exists at Boise State University a raptor study program which attracts national and international graduate and undergraduate students. (7) The Bureau of Land Management and Boise State University, together with other State, Federal, and private entities, have formed the Raptor Research and Technical Assistance Center to be housed at Boise State University, which provides a unique adjunct to the conservation area for raptor management, recovery, research, and public visitation, interpretation, and education. (8) Consistent with requirements of sections 202 and 302 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1712 and 1732), the Secretary has developed a comprehensive management plan and, based on such plan, has implemented a management program for the public lands included in the conservation area established by this Act. (9) Additional authority and guidance must be provided to assure that essential raptor habitat remains in public ownership, to facilitate sound and effective planning and management, to provide for effective public interpretation and education, to ensure continued study of the relationship of humans and these raptors, to preserve the unique and irreplaceable habitat of the conservation area, and to conserve and properly manage the other natural resources of the area in concert with maintenance of this habitat. (10) An ongoing research program funded by the Bureau of Land Management and the National Guard is intended to provide information to be used in connection with future decisionmaking concerning management of all uses, including continued military use, of public lands within the Snake River Birds of Prey Area. (11) Public lands in the Snake River Birds of Prey Area have been used for domestic livestock grazing for more than a century, with resultant benefits to community stability and contributions to the local and State economies. It has not been demonstrated that continuation of this use would be incompatible with appropriate protection and sound management of107 STAT. 304 raptor habitat and the other resource values of these lands; therefore, subject to the determination provided for in section 4(f), it is expected that such grazing will continue in accordance with applicable regulations of the Secretary and the management plan for the conservation area. (12) Hydroelectric facilities for the generation and transmission of electricity exist within the Snake River Birds of Prey Area pursuant to a license(s) issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or its predecessor, the Federal Power Commission.

16 USC 460iii-3.

 (a) In General.— (1) (A) Within 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall make any revisions in the existing management plan for the conservation area as necessary to assure its conformance with this Act, and no later than January 1, 1996, shall finalize a new management plan for the conservation area. (B) Thereafter, the Secretary shall review the plan at least once every 5 years and shall make such revisions as may be necessary or appropriate. 107 STAT. 306 (C) In reviewing and revising the plan, the Secretary shall provide for appropriate public participation. (2) Except as otherwise specifically provided in section 3(d) and subsections (d), (e), and (f) of this section, the Secretary shall allow only such uses of lands in the conservation area as the Secretary determines will further the purposes for which the Conservation Area is established. (b) Management Guidance.— After each review pursuant to subsection (a), the Secretary shall make such revisions as may be needed so that the plan and management program to implement the plan include, in addition to any other necessary or appropriate provisions, provisions for— (1) protection for the raptor populations and habitats and the scientific, cultural, and educational resources and values of the public lands in the conservation area; (2) identifying levels of continued military use of the Orchard Training Area compatible with paragraph (1) of this subsection; (3) public use of the conservation area consistent with the purposes of this Act; (4) interpretive and educational opportunities for the public; (5) a program for continued scientific investigation and study to provide information to support sound management in accordance with this Act, to advance knowledge of raptor species and the resources and values of the conservation area, and to provide a process for transferring to other areas of the public lands and elsewhere this knowledge and management experience; (6) such vegetative enhancement and other measures as may be necessary to restore or enhance prey habitat; (7) the identification of levels, types, timing, and terms and conditions for the allowable nonmilitary uses of lands within the conservation area that will be compatible with the protection, maintenance, and enhancement of raptor populations and habitats and the other purposes for which the conservation area is established; and (8) assessing the desirability of imposing appropriate fees for public uses (including, but not limited to, recreational use) of lands in the conservation area, which are not now subject to fees, to be used to further the purposes for which the conservation area is established. (c) Visitors Center.— The Secretary, acting through the Director of the Bureau of Land Management, is authorized to establish, in cooperation with other public or private entities as the Secretary may deem appropriate, a visitors center designed to interpret the history and the geological, ecological, natural, cultural, and other resources of the conservation area and the biology of the raptors and their relationships to man. (d) Visitors Use of Area.— In addition to the Visitors Center, the Secretary may provide for visitor use of the public lands in the conservation area to such extent and in such manner as the Secretary considers consistent with the protection of raptors and raptor habitat, public safety, and the purposes for which the conservation area is established. To the extent practicable, the Secretary shall make available to visitors and other members of the107 STAT. 307 public a map of the conservation area and such other educational and interpretive materials as may be appropriate. (e) National Guard Use of the Area.— (1) Pending completion of the ongoing research concerning military use of lands in the conservation area, or until the date 5 years after the date of enactment of this Act, whichever is the shorter period, the Secretary shall permit continued military use of those portions of the conservation area known as the Orchard Training Area in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding, to the extent consistent with the use levels identified pursuant to subsection (b)(2) of this section. (2) Upon completion of the ongoing research concerning military use of lands in the conservation area, the Secretary shall review the management plan and make such additional revisions therein as may be required to assure that it meets the requirements of this Act.

 use of lands in the conservation area, the Secretary shall submit to the Committees on Natural Resources and Merchant Marine and Fisheries of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate a report of the results 01 such research. (4) Nothing in this Act shall preclude minor adjustment of the boundaries of the Orchard Training Area in accordance with provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding. (5) After completion of the ongoing research concerning military use of lands in the Orchard Training Area or after the date 5 years after the date of enactment of this Act, whichever first occurs, the Secretary shall continue to permit military use of such lands, unless the Secretary, on the basis of such research, determines such use is not compatible with the purposes set forth in section 3(a)(2). Any such use thereafter shall be permitted in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding, which may be extended or renewed by the Secretary so long as such use continues to meet the requirements of subsection (b)(2) of this section. (6) In accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding, the Secretary shall require the State of Idaho Military Division to insure that military units involved maintain a program of decontamination. (7) Nothing in this Act shall be construed as by itself precluding the extension or renewal of the Memorandum of Understanding, or the construction of any improvements or buildings in the Orchard Training Area so long as the requirements of this subsection are met. (f) Livestock Grazing.— (1) So long as the Secretary determines that domestic livestock grazing is compatible with the purposes for which the conservation area is established, the Secretary shall permit such use of public lands within the conservation area, to the extent such use of such lands is compatible with such purposes. Determinations as to compatibility shall be made in connection with the initial revision of management plans for the conservation area and in connection with each plan review required by section 4(a)(1)(B). (2) Any livestock grazing on public lands within the conservation area, and activities the Secretary determines necessary to carry out proper and practical grazing management programs on such lands (such as animal damage control activities) shall be107 STAT. 308 managed in accordance with the Act of June 28, 1934 (43 U.S.C. 315 et seq,; commonly referred to as the “Taylor Grazing Act”), section 402 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1752), other laws applicable to such use and programs on the public lands, and the management plan for the conservation area.

(h) Agricultural Practices.— Nothing in this Act shall be construed as constituting a grant of authority to the Secretary to restrict recognized agricultural practices or other activities on private land adjacent to or within the conservation area boundary. (i) Hydroelectric Facilities.— Notwithstanding any provision of this Act, or regulations and management plans undertaken pursuant to its provisions, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission shall retain its current jurisdiction concerning all aspects of the continued and future operation of hydroelectric facilities, licensed or relicensed under the Federal Power Act (16 U.S.C. 791a et seq.), located within the boundaries of the conservation area.
SEC. 5. ADDITIONS.

16 USC 460iii-4.

 (a) Acquisitions.— (1) The Secretary is authorized to acquire lands and interests therein within the boundaries of the conservation area by donation, purchase with donated or appropriated funds, exchange, or transfer from another Federal agency, except that such lands or interests owned by the State of Idaho or a political subdivision thereof may be acquired only by donation or exchange. (2) Any lands located within the boundaries of the conservation area that are acquired by the United States on or after the date of enactment of this Act shall become a part of the conservation area and shall be subject to this Act. (b) Purchase of Lands.— In addition to the authority in section 318(d) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1748) and notwithstanding section 7(a) of the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of 1964 (16 U.S.C. 4601–9(a)), monies appropriated from the Land and Water Conservation Fund may be used as authorized in section 5(b) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1534(b)), for the purposes of acquiring lands or interests therein within the conservation area for administration as public lands as a part of the conservation area. (c) Land Exchanges.— The Secretary shall, within 4 years sifter the date of enactment of this Act, study, identify, and initiate voluntary land exchanges which would resolve ownership related land use conflicts within the conservation area.
SEC. 6. OTHER LAWS AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS.

16 USC 460iii-5.

 (a) Other Laws.— (1) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to supersede, limit, or otherwise affect administration and enforcement of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) or to limit the applicability of the National Trails System Act to any lands within the conservation area. (2) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Act, nothing in this Act shall be construed as limiting the applicability to lands in the conservation area of laws applicable to public lands generally.107 STAT. 309 including but not limited to the National Historic Preservation Act, the Archaeological Resources Protection Act of 1979, or the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act.

 Whereas Drug Abuse Resistance Education (in this joint resolution referred to as “D.A.R.E.”) is the largest and most effective drug-use prevention education program in the United States, and is now taught to 25,000,000 youths in grades K–12; Whereas D.A.R.E. is taught in more than 250,000 classrooms reaching all 50 States, Australia, New Zealand, American Samoa, Canada, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Costa Rica, Mexico, Brazil, Hungary, and Department of Defense Dependent Schools worldwide; Whereas the D.A.R.E. core curriculum, developed by the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Unified School District, helps prevent substance abuse among school-age children by providing students with accurate information about alcohol and drugs, teaching students decision-making skills, educating students about the consequences of certain behaviors, and building students’ self-esteem while teaching them how to resist peer pressure; Whereas D.AR.E. provides parents with information and guidance to further the development of their children and reinforce the decisions of their children to lead drug-free lives; Whereas D.A.R.E. is taught by street-wise veteran police officers with years of direct experience with people whose lives were ruined by substance abuse, giving them unmatched credibility; Whereas each police officer who teaches D.AR.E. completes 80 hours of specialized training in areas such as child development, classroom management, teaching techniques, and communication skills; Whereas independent research has found that D.A.R.E. substantially impacts students' attitudes toward substance use, contributes to improved study habits, higher grades, decreased vandalism and gang activity, and generates greater respect for police officers; and Whereas 1993 marks the 10th year that D.AR.E. has provided students with the skills they will need as young adults to resist the temptations of drug abuse: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That September 9, 1993, and April 21, 1994, are each designated as “National 107 STAT. 738DA.R.E.

(2) The purpose of this section is to protect the wilderness values of the lands designated as wilderness by this Act by means other than those based on a Federal reserved water right. (3) As used in this section, the term “water resource facility” means irrigation and pumping facilities, reservoirs, water conservation works, aqueducts, canals, ditches, pipelines, wells, hydropower projects, and transmission and other ancillary facilities, and other water diversion, storage, and carriage structures. (b) Restrictions on Rights and Disclaimer of Effect.— (1) Neither the Secretary of Agriculture nor the Secretary of the Interior, nor any other officer, employee, representative, or agent of the United States, nor any other person, shall assert in any court or agency, nor shall any court or agency consider, any claim to or for water or water rights in the State of Colorado, which is based on any construction of any portion of this Act, or the designation of any lands as wilderness by this Act, as constituting an express or implied reservation of water or water rights. (2) (A) Nothing in this Act shall constitute or be construed to constitute either an express or implied reservation of any water or water rights with respect to the Piedra, Roubideau, and Tabeguache areas identified in section 9 of this Act, or the Bowen Gulch Protection Area or the Fossil Ridge Recreation Management Area identified in sections 5 and 6 of this Act.

“SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. “(a) Findings.— The Congress finds the following: “(1) Throughout the United States, there are pressing unmet human, educational, environmental, and public safety needs. “(2) Americans desire to affirm common responsibilities and shared values, and join together in positive experiences, that transcend race, religion, gender, age, disability, region, income, and education. “(3) The rising costs of postsecondary education are putting higher education out of reach for an increasing number of citizens. “(4) Americans of all ages can improve their communities and become better citizens through service to the United States. “(5) Nonprofit organizations, local governments, States, and the Federal Government are already supporting a wide variety of national service programs that deliver needed services in a cost-effective manner. “(6) Residents of low-income communities, especially youth and young adults, can be empowered through their service, and can help provide future community leadership. “(b) Purpose.— It is the purpose of this Act to— “(1) meet the unmet human, educational, environmental, and public safety needs of the United States, without displacing existing workers; “(2) renew the ethic of civic responsibility and the spirit of community throughout the United States; “(3) expand educational opportunity by rewarding individuals who participate in national service with an increased ability to pursue higher education or job training; “(4) encourage citizens of the United States, regardless of age, income, or disability, to engage in full-time or part-time national service; “(5) reinvent government to eliminate duplication, support locally established initiatives, require measurable goals for performance, and offer flexibility in meeting those goals; “(6) expand and strengthen existing service programs with demonstrated experience in providing structured service opportunities with visible benefits to the participants and community; “(7) build on the existing organizational service infrastructure of Federal, State, and local programs and agencies to expand full-time and part-time service opportunities for all citizens; and “(8) provide tangible benefits to the communities in which national service is performed.”.

 URBAN YOUTH CORPS. (a) Findings.— The Congress finds the following: (1) The rehabilitation, reclamation, and beautification of urban public housing, recreational sites, youth and senior centers, and public roads and public works facilities through the efforts of young people in the United States in an Urban Youth Corps can benefit these youths, while also benefiting their communities, by— (A) providing them with education and work opportunities; (B) furthering their understanding and appreciation of the challenges faced by individuals residing in urban communities; and (C) providing them with a means to pay for higher education or to repay indebtedness they have incurred to obtain higher education. (2) A significant number of housing units for low-income individuals in urban areas has become substandard and unsafe and the deterioration of urban roadways, mass transit systems, and transportation facilities in the United States have contributed to the blight encountered in many cities in the United States. (3) As a result, urban housing, public works, and transportation resources are in need of labor intensive rehabilitation, reclamation, and beautification work that has been neglected in the past and cannot be adequately carried out by Federal, State, and local government at existing personnel levels. (4) Urban youth corps have established a good record of rehabilitating, reclaiming, and beautifying these kinds of resources in a cost-efficient manner, especially when they have worked in partnership with government housing, public works, and transportation authorities and agencies. (b) Purpose.— It is the purpose of this section— (1) to perform, in a cost-effective manner, appropriate service projects to rehabilitate, reclaim, beautify, and improve public housing and public works and transportation facilities and resources in urban areas suffering from high rates of poverty where work will not be performed by existing employees; (2) to assist government housing, public works, and transportation authorities and agencies; (3) to expose young people in the United States to public service while furthering their understanding and appreciation of their community; (4) to expand educational opportunity for individuals who participate in the Urban Youth Corps established by this section by providing them with an increased ability to pursue post-secondary education or job training; and (5) to stimulate interest among young people in the United States in lifelong service to their communities and the United States. (c) Definitions.— For purposes of this section: (1) Appropriate service project.— The term “appropriate service project” means any project for the rehabilitation, reclamation, or beautification of urban public housing and public works and transportation resources or facilities. 107 STAT. 855 (2) Corps and urban youth corps.— The term “Corps” and “Urban Youth Corps” mean the Urban Youth Corps established under subsection (d)(1). (3) Qualified urban youth corps.— The term “qualified urban youth corps” means any program established by a State or local government or by a nonprofit organization that— (A) is capable of offering meaningful, full-time, productive work for individuals between the ages of 16 and 25, inclusive, in an urban or public works or transportation setting; (B) gives participants a mix of work experience, basic and life skills, education, training, and support services; and (C) provides participants with the opportunity to develop citizenship values and skills through service to their communities and the United States. (4) Secretary.— The term “Secretary” means the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or the Secretary of Transportation. (5) State.— The term “State” means any State of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands of the United States, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. (d) Establishment of Urban Youth Corps.— (1) Establishment.— There is hereby established in the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Transportation an Urban Youth Corps. The Corps shall consist of individuals between the ages of 16 and 25, inclusive, who are enrolled as participants in the Corps by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and the Secretary of Transportation. To be eligible for enrollment in the Corps, an individual shall satisfy the criteria specified in section 139(b) of the National and Community Service Act of 1990. The Secretaries may enroll such individuals in the Corps without regard to the civil service and classification laws, rules, or regulations of the United States. The Secretaries may establish a preference for the enrollment in the Corps of individuals who are economically, physically, or educationally disadvantaged. (2) Use of qualified urban youth corps.— The Secretaries are authorized to enter into contracts and cooperative agreements with any qualified urban youth corps to perform appropriate service projects described in paragraph (3). As part of the Urban Youth Corps established in the Department of Transportation, the Secretary of Transportation may make grants to States (and through States to local governments) for the purpose of establishing, operating, or supporting qualified urban youth corps that will perform appropriate service projects relating to transportation resources or facilities. (3) Service projects.— The Secretaries may each utilize the Corps or any qualified urban youth corps to carry out appropriate service projects that the Secretary involved is authorized to carry out under other authority of law involving public housing projects or public works resources or facilities. 107 STAT. 856 (4) Preference for certain projects.— In selecting an appropriate service project to be carried out under this section, the Secretaries shall give a preference to those projects which— (A) will provide long-term benefits to the public; (B) will instill in the participant a work ethic and a sense of public service; (C) will be labor intensive; (D) can be planned and initiated promptly; and (E) will provide academic, experiential, or community education opportunities. (5) Consistency.— Each appropriate service project carried out under this section in any public housing project or public works resource or facility shall be consistent with the provisions of law and policies relating to the management and administration of such projects, facilities, or resources, with all other applicable provisions of law, and with all management, operational, and other plans and documents which govern the administration of such projects, facilities, or resources. (e) Living Allowances.— The Secretaries shall provide each participant in the Urban Youth Corps with a living allowance in an amount not to exceed the maximum living allowance authorized by section 140(a)(3) of the National and Community Service Act of 1990 for participants in a national service program assisted under subtitle C of title I of such Act. (f) Terms of Service.— Each participant in the Urban Youth Corps shall agree to participate in the Corps for a term of service established by the Secretary involved, consistent with the terms of service required under section 139(b) of the National and Community Service Act of 1990 for participants in a national service program assisted under subtitle C of title I of such Act.

Sept. 21, 1993

[S.J. Res. 50]

 Whereas the designation of a week as “National Rehabilitation Week” gives the people of this Nation an opportunity to celebrate the victories, courage, and determination of individuals with disabilities in this Nation and recognize dedicated health care professionals who work daily to help such individuals achieve independence; Whereas there are significant areas where the needs of such individuals with disabilities have not been met, such as certain research and educational needs; Whereas half of the people of this Nation will need some form of rehabilitation therapy; Whereas rehabilitation agencies and facilities offer care and treatment for individuals with physical, mental, emotional, and social disabilities; Whereas the goal of the rehabilitative services offered try such agencies and facilities is to help disabled individuals lead active lives at the greatest level of independence possible; and Whereas the majority of the people of this Nation are not aware of the limitless possibilities of invaluable rehabilitative services in this Nation: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That— (1) the week of September 19, 1993, through September 25, 1993, and of September 18, 1994, through September 24, 1994, is designated as “National Rehabilitation Week” and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe such week with appropriate ceremonies and activities, including educational activities to heighten public awareness of the types of rehabilitative services available in this Nation and the manner in which such services improve the quality of life of disabled individuals; and 107 STAT. 925 (2) each State governor, and each chief executive of each political subdivision of each State, is urged to issue proclamation (or other appropriate official statement) calling upon the citizens of such State or political subdivision of a State to observe such week in the manner described in paragraph (1).

Joint Resolution To designate October 1993 as “National Breast Cancer Awareness Month”.

Sept. 21, 1993

[S.J. Res. 95]

 Whereas breast cancer will strike an estimated 182,000 women and 1,000 men in the United States in 1993; Whereas the risk of developing breast cancer increases as a woman grows older; Whereas breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, and will kill an estimated 46,000 women and 300 men in 1993; Whereas the 5-year survival rate for localized breast cancer has risen from 78 percent in the 1940’s to over 90 percent today; Whereas most breast cancers are detected by the woman herself; Whereas educating both the public and health care providers about the importance of early detection will result in reducing breast cancer mortality; Whereas appropriate use of screening mammography, in conjunction with clinical examination and breast self-examination, can result in the detection of many breast cancers early in their development and increase the survival rate to nearly 100 percent; Whereas data from controlled trials dearly demonstrate that deaths from breast cancer are significantly reduced in women who have been screened by mammography; Whereas many women are reluctant to have screening mammograms for a variety of reasons, such as the cost of testing, lack of information, or fear; Whereas access to screening mammography is directly related to socioeconomic status; Whereas increased awareness about the importance of screening mammography will result in the procedure being regularly requested by the patient and recommended by the health care provider; and Whereas it is projected that more women will use this lifesaving test as it becomes increasingly available and affordable: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That October 107 STAT. 9271993 is designated as “National Breast Cancer Awareness Month” and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe the month with appropriate programs and activities.

Sept. 21, 1993

[S.J. Res. 126]

 Whereas the United States has fought in many wars and thousands of Americans who served in those wars were captured by the enemy or listed as missing in action; Whereas many American prisoners of war were subjected to brutal and inhumane treatment by their enemy captors in violation of international codes and customs for the treatment of prisoners of war, and many such prisoners of war died from such treatment; Whereas many of these Americans are still listed as missing and unaccounted for, and the uncertainty surrounding their fates has caused their families to suffer tragic and continuing hardships; Whereas, in Public Law 101–355, the Federal Government officially recognized and designated the National League of Families POW/ MIA flag as the symbol of the Nation’s concern and commitment to accounting as fully as possible for Americans still prisoner, missing in action, or unaccounted for in Southeast Asia; and Whereas the sacrifices of Americans still missing and unaccounted for from all our Nation’s wars and their families are deserving of national recognition and support for continued priority efforts to determine the fate of those missing Americans: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. DESIGNATION OF NATIONAL POW/MIA RECOGNITION DAY. September 10, 1993, is designated as “National POW/MIA Recognition Day”, and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

 Whereas scleroderma is a disease caused by the excess production of collagen, the main fibrous component of connective tissue, causing hardening of the skin or internal organs, or both, such as the esophagus, lungs, kidney, and heart; Whereas approximately 300,000 people in the United States suffer from scleroderma, with women of childbearing age outnumbering men 4 to 1; Whereas scleroderma, a painful, crippling, and disfiguring disease, is most often progressive and can result in premature death; Whereas the symptoms of scleroderma are variable which can complicate and confuse diagnosis; Whereas the cause and cure of scleroderma are unknown; and Whereas scleroderma is an orphan disease that requires intensive research to improve treatment as well as find the cause and cure: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the months of August 1993 and August 1994 are designated as “National Scleroderma Awareness Month”. The President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe each such month with appropriate activities that will enhance awareness of the disease and the need for a cure.

SEC. 11. SENSE OF THE SENATE RELATING TO ASSISTANCE TO NICARAGUA. (a) Findings.— The Senate finds the following: (1) On May 23, 1993, an explosion in Managua, Nicaragua exposed a cache of weapons, including 19 surface-to-air missiles, hundreds of AK-47 assault rifles, machine guns, rocket propelled grenades, tons of ammunition and explosives. (2) Investigations of the explosions have uncovered 310 passports from 21 different countries, including seven United States passports. (3) Documents in the possession of those apprehended in connection with the February 26, 1993, bombing of the World Trade Center have been traced to Nicaragua. (4) The acquisition and storage of these weapons and documents could not have been accomplished without the knowledge and cooperation of the Sandinista National Liberation Front and ministries of the Government of Nicaragua under its control. 107 STAT. 1011 (5) The Sandinista National Liberation Front has a history of subversion and links to international terrorism. (6) The recent discovery demonstrates the inability of the legitimate Government of Nicaragua to control all of its ministries. (7) This lack of authority makes uncertain the ability of the Government of Nicaragua to prevent the export of terrorism by the Sandinista National Liberation Front. (b) Sense of Senate.— It is the sense of the Senate that— (1) no further United States foreign assistance to Nicaragua should be obligated pending investigation by an appropriate international body, with the participation of United States Federal agencies, of the Sandinista National Liberation Front; and (2) such investigation should focus on the relationship of the Sandinista National Liberation Front to acts of terrorism which threaten to undermine the security of the United States and the political stability and economic prosperity of the Western Hemisphere.

Joint Resolution To designate the week of October 3, 1993, through October 9, 1993, as “Mental Illness Awareness Week”.

Oct. 6, 1993

[S.J. Res. 61]

 Whereas mental illness is a problem of grave concern and consequence in the United States and it is widely, but unnecessarily, feared and misunderstood; Whereas on an annual basis 40,000,000 adults in the United States suffer from clearly diagnosable mental disorders, including mental illness, alcohol abuse, and drug abuse, which create significant disabilities with respect to employment, school attendance, and independent living; Whereas more than 11,200,000 United States citizens are diagnosed with schizophrenia, manic depressive disorder, and major depression, and these individuals are often disabled for long periods of time; Whereas 33 percent of homeless persons suffer serious, chronic forms of mental illness; Whereas mental illness, alcohol abuse, and drug abuse affect almost 22 percent of adults in the United States in any 1-year period; Whereas mental illness interferes with the development and maturation of at least 12,000,000 of our children; Whereas a majority of the 30,000 American citizens who commit suicide each year suffer from a mental or an addictive disorder; Whereas our growing population of elderly persons faces many obstacles to care for mental disorders; Whereas 20 to 25 percent of persons with AIDS will develop AIDS-related cognitive dysfunction and as many as two-thirds of persons with AIDS will show neuropsychiatric symptoms before they die; Whereas mental illness, alcohol abuse, and drug abuse result in staggering costs to society, estimated to be in excess of $273,000,000 each year in direct treatment and support and indirect costs to society, including lost productivity; Whereas the Federal research budget committed to the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse, and the National Institute of Drug Abuse represents only about 1 percent of the direct treatment and support costs of caring for persons with mental disorders, alcohol addiction, and drug addiction; Whereas mental illnesses are increasingly treatable disorders with excellent prospects for amelioration when properly recognized; Whereas persons with mental illness and their families have begun to join self-help groups seeking to combat the unfair stigma of mental illness, to support greater national investment in107 STAT. 1017 research, and to advocate an adequate continuum of care from hospital to community; Whereas in recent years there have been unprecedented major research developments bringing new methods and technology to the sophisticated and objective study of the functioning of the brain and its linkages to both normal and abnormal behavior; Whereas research in recent decades has led to a wide array of new and more effective modalities of treatment (somatic, psychosocial, and service delivery) for some of the most incapacitating forms of mental illness, including schizophrenia, major affective disorders, phobias, and phobic disorders; Whereas appropriate treatment of mental illness has been demonstrated to he cost-effective in terms of restored productivity, reduced use of other health services, and lessened social dependence; and Whereas recent and unparalleled growth in scientific knowledge about mental illness has generated the current emergence of a new threshold of opportunity for future research advances and fruitful application to specific clinical problems: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the week of October 3, 1993, through October 9, 1993, is designated as “Mental Illness Awareness Week”. The President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

 Whereas German immigrants first arrived in America at Jamestown, Virginia, in October 1608, and the 400th anniversary of the arrival of these first Germans will be celebrated in 2008; Whereas the first German settlement in America was founded on October 6, 1683 at Germantown, Pennsylvania, and October 6, 1983, was designated as the German-American Tricentennial Celebration by Congressional Resolution and Presidential Proclamation; Whereas the number of American citizens of German ancestry has grown to over 50 million since the first German immigrants arrived in this country; Whereas German-Americans are proud of the existing friendship and cooperation between the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States; Whereas the German-American Friendship Garden in Washington, D.C., is evidence of this cooperation; Whereas German-Americans support expansion of the existing friendship between Germany and the United States, and will continue to contribute to the culture of the United States, support its government and democratic principles, and help ensure the freedom of all people; Whereas German unification stands as a symbol of greater international cooperation and has reemphasized the prominent position of Germany in the European community and between the East and the West; Whereas Congress unanimously passed joint resolutions designating October 6th of 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1991, and 1992, each as “German-American Day”: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That October 6, 1993 and 1994, are each designated as “German-American Day”,107 STAT. 1019 and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe the days with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

That October 16, 1993, and October 16, 1994, are each designated as “World Food Day”, and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe World Food Day with appropriate ceremonies and activities, including worship services, fasting, education endeavors, and the establishment of year-around food and health programs and policies.

[H.J. Res. 265]

 Whereas, according to the American Cancer Society, one hundred eighty-two thousand women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993, and forty-six thousand women will die from this disease; Whereas, in the decade of the 1990’s, it is estimated that about two million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer, resulting in nearly five hundred thousand deaths; Whereas the risk of breast cancer increases with age, with a woman at age seventy having twice as much of a chance of developing the disease than a woman at age fifty; Whereas 80 percent of women who get breast cancer have no family history of the disease; Whereas mammograms, when operated professionally at an accredited facility, can provide a safe and quick diagnosis; Whereas experts agree that mammography is the best method of early detection of breast cancer, and early detection is the key to saving lives; and Whereas mammograms can reveal the presence of small cancers up to two years before regular clinical breast examinations or breast self-examinations (BSE), saving as many as a third more lives: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That October 19, 1993, be designated as “National Mammography Day”, and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate programs and activities.

Catawba Indian Tribe of South Carolina Land Claims Settlement Act of 1993.

25 USC 941 note.

25 USC 941.
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the “Catawba Indian Tribe of South Carolina Land Claims Settlement Act of 1993”.
SEC. 2. DECLARATION OF POUCY, CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. (a) Findings.— The Congress declares and finds that: (1) It is the policy of the United States to promote tribal self-determination and economic self-sufficiency and to support the resolution of disputes over historical claims through settlements mutually agreed to by Indian and non-Indian parties. (2) There is pending before the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina a lawsuit disputing ownership of approximately 140,000 acres of land in the State of South Carolina and other rights of the Catawba Indian Tribe under Federal law. (3) The Catawba Indian Tribe initiated a related lawsuit against the United States in the United States Court of Federal Claims seeking monetary damages. (4) Some of the significant historical events which have led to the present situation include: (A) In treaties with the Crown in 1760 and 1763, the Tribe ceded vast portions of its aboriginal territory in the present States of North and South Carolina in return for guarantees of being quietly settled on a 144,000-acre reservation. (B) The Tribe’s district court suit contended that in 1840 the Tribe and the State entered into an agreement without Federal approval or participation whereby the Tribe ceded its treaty reservation to the State, thereby giving rise to the Tribe’s claim that it was dispossessed of its lands in violation of Federal law. (C) In 1943, the United States entered into an agreement with the Tribe and the State to provide services to the Tribe and its members. The State purchased 3,434 acres of land and conveyed it to the Secretary in trust for the Tribe and the Tribe organized under the Indian Reorganization Act. 107 STAT. 1119 (D) In 1959, when Congress enacted the Catawba Tribe of South Carolina Division of Assets Act (25 U.S.C. 931–938), Federal agents assured the Tribe that if the Tribe would release the Government from its obligation under the 1943 agreement and agree to Federal legislation terminating the Federal trust relationship and liquidating the 1943 reservation, the status of the Tribe’s land claim would not be jeopardized by termination. (E) In 1980, the Tribe initiated Federal court litigation to regain possession of its treaty lands and in 1986, the United States Supreme Court ruled in South Carolina against Catawba Indian Tribe that the 1959 Act resulted in the application of State statutes of limitations to the Tribe’s land claim. Two subsequent decisions of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit have held that some portion of the Tribe’s claim is barred by State statutes of limitations and that some portion is not barred. (5) The pendency of these lawsuits has led to substantial economic and social hardship for a large number of landowners, citizens and communities in the State of South Carolina, including the Catawba Indian Tribe. Congress recognizes that if these claims are not resolved, further litigation against tens of thousands of landowners would be likely; that any final resolution of pending disputes through a process of litigation would take many years and entail great expenses to all parties; continue economically and socially damaging controversies; prolong uncertainty as to the ownership of property; and seriously impair long-term economic planning and development for all parties. (6) The 102d Congress has enacted legislation suspending until October 1, 1993, the running of any unexpired statute of limitation applicable to the Tribe’s land claim in order to provide additional time to negotiate settlement of these claims. (7) It is recognized that both Indian and non-Indian parties enter into this settlement to resolve the disputes raised in these lawsuits and to derive certain benefits. The parties’ Settlement Agreement constitutes a good faith effort to resolve these lawsuits and other claims and requires implementing legislation by the Congress of the United States, the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, and the governing bodies of the South Carolina counties of York and Lancaster. (8) To advance the goals of the Federal policy of Indian self-determination and restoration of terminated Indian Tribes, and in recognition of the United States obligation to the Tribe and the Federal policy of settling historical Indian claims through comprehensive settlement agreements, it is appropriate that the United States participate in the funding and implementation of the Settlement Agreement. (b) Purpose.— It is the purpose of this Act— (1) to approve, ratify, and confirm the Settlement Agreement entered into by the non-Indian settlement parties and the Tribe, except as otherwise provided by this Act; (2) to authorize and direct the Secretary to implement the terms of such Settlement Agreement; (3) to authorize the actions and appropriations necessary to implement the provisions of the Settlement Agreement and this Act; 107 STAT. 1120 (4) to remove the cloud on titles in the State of South Carolina resulting from the Tribe’s land claim; and (5) to restore the trust relationship between the Tribe and the United States.

This subsection shall not apply to loans obligated before the date of enactment of this subsection. Funds are not authorized to be appropriated to carry out this subsection until the funds are appropriated in advance to carry out this subsection.”.

Nov. 8, 1993

[H.J. Res. 205]

 Whereas accurate, timely, and complete medical records and related health information are vital in planning and providing for quality health care for the people of the United States; Whereas such records and information are vital to providing health care to an individual beginning at the birth of the individual and continuing throughout the life of the individual; Whereas public concern about the quality, appropriateness, and effectiveness of health care is escalating; Whereas specific skills in evaluating and reporting the results of health care are required to provide public accountability; Whereas equitable third-party reimbursement for health care is dependent on health information that is collected, analyzed, classified, verified, and disseminated; Whereas public awareness of patient rights, including the right of a patient to access the patient's own medical information, is increasing; Whereas the needs and requirements for health information of the health care industry and the use of the information by the industry are changing rapidly; Whereas the rate of such changes will continue to increase as new health care technology is used and new health care reform policies are promulgated; Whereas the 35,000 members of the American Health Information Management Association are the health information leaders of the United States; and Whereas such members have demonstrated commitment to, and expertise in, health information management: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Nov. 8, 1993

[S.J. Res. 115]

 Whereas the Congress recognizes and supports the Department of Defense policies to recruit, train, equip, retain, and field a military force that is capable of preserving peace and protecting the vital interests of the United States and its allies; Whereas military families shoulder the responsibility of providing emotional support for their service members; Whereas, in times of war and military action, military families have demonstrated their patriotism through their steadfast support and commitment to the Nation; Whereas the emotional and mental readiness of the United States military personnel around the world is tied to the well-being and satisfaction of their families; Whereas the quality of life that the Armed Forces provide to military families is a key factor in the retention of military personnel; Whereas the people of the United States are truly indebted to military families for facing adversities, including extended separations from their service members, frequent household moves due to reassignments, and restrictions on their employment and educational opportunities; Whereas 74 percent of officers and 55 percent of enlisted personnel in the Armed Forces are married; Whereas families of active duty military personnel (including individuals other than spouses and children) comprise more than one-half of the active duty community of the Armed Forces, and spouses and children of members of the reserve component of the Armed Forces in paid status comprise more than one-half of the individuals constituting the reserve component of the Armed Forces community; Whereas hundreds of thousands of spouses, children, and other dependents living abroad with members of the Armed Forces face financial hardship and feelings of cultural isolation; Whereas the significantly reduced global military tensions following the end of the Cold War have resulted in a down-sizing of the national defense and a refocusing of national priorities on strengthening the American economy and increasing competitiveness in the global marketplace; Whereas the Congress is grateful for the sacrifices of military families and is committed to assisting the service members and their families who undergo the transition from active duty to civilian life; and 107 STAT. 1378 Whereas military families are devoted to the overall mission of the Department of Defense and have supported the role of the United States as the military leader and protector of the Free World: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That November 22, 1993 is designated as “National Military Families Recognition Day” in appreciation of the commitment and devotion of present and former military families and the sacrifices that such families have made on behalf of the Nation and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe the day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

fulfill the commitments made on behalf of the United States to the people of Hawaii and to return to the State of Hawaii the Island of Kaho’olawe. Kaho’olawe Island is among Hawaii’s historic lands and has a long, documented history of cultural and natural significance to the people of Hawaii reflected, in part, in the Island’s inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places and in the longstanding interest in the return of the Island to State sovereignty, public access and use. Congress finds that control, disposition, use and management of Kaho’olawe is affected with a Federal interest. It also is in the national interest and an obligation undertaken by Congress and the United States under this and other Acts, and in furtherance of the purposes of Executive Order 10436 (1953), to recognize the cultural and humanitarian value of assuring meaningful, safe use of the Island for appropriate cultural, historical, archaeological and educational purposes as determined by the State of Hawaii and to provide for the clearance or removal of unexploded ordnance and for the environmental restoration of the Island for such purposes. Congress also finds it is in the national interest and an essential element in the Federal Government’s relationship with the State of Hawaii to ensure that the conveyance, clearance or removal of unexploded ordnance, environmental restoration, control of access to the Island and future use of the Island be undertaken in a manner consistent with the enhancement of that relationship, the Department of Defense’s military mission, the Federal interest and applicable provisions of law.</content> </subsection> <subsection class="firstIndent1 fontsize10"> <num value="b">(b) </num> <heading class="inline"><inline class="smallCaps">Conveyance</inline>.—</heading> <content class="inline">Subject to section 10001(e) of this Act, the United States, through the Secretary of the Navy (also, hereinafter, “the Secretary”, shall, notwithstanding section 120(h) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. 9620 (h)) convey and return, without consideration and without conditions other than those set forth in or required by this Act, to the State of Hawaii all right, title and interest of the United States, except that interest set forth in section 10001(d)(2) and section 10001(e) of this Act, in and to that parcel of property consisting of approximately 28,776 acres of land known as Kaho’olawe Island, Hawaii and its surrounding waters.

An Act To protect the free exercise of religion.

Nov. 16, 1993

[H.R. 1308]

 Be enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993.

42 USC 2000bb note.
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the “Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993”.
SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF PURPOSES.

42 USC 2000bb.

 (a) Findings.— The Congress finds that— (1) the framers of the Constitution, recognizing free exercise of religion as an unalienable right, secured its protection in the First Amendment to the Constitution; (2) laws “neutral” toward religion may burden religious exercise as surely as laws intended to interfere with religious exercise; (3) governments should not substantially burden religious exercise without compelling justification; (4) in Employment Division v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990) the Supreme Court virtually eliminated the requirement that the government justify burdens on religious exercise imposed by laws neutral toward religion; and (5) the compelling interest test as set forth in prior Federal court rulings is a workable test for striking sensible balances between religious liberty and competing prior governmental interests. (b) Purposes.— The purposes of this Act are— (1) to restore the compelling interest test as set forth in Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U.S. 398 (1963) and Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U.S. 205 (1972) and to guarantee its application in all cases where free exercise of religion is substantially burdened; and (2) to provide a claim or defense to persons whose religious exercise is substantially burdened by government.
SEC. 3. FREE EXERCISE OF REUGION PROTECTED.

42 USC 2000bb-1.

 (a) In General.— Government shall not substantially burden a person's exercise of religion even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability, except as provided in subsection (b).

El Camino Real Para Los Texas Study Act of 1993.

16 USC 1241 note.
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the “El Camino Real Para Los Texas Study Act of 1993”.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. The Congress finds— (1) El Camino Real Para Los Texas was the Spanish road established to connect a series of missions and posts extending from Monclova, Mexico to the mission and later Presidio Nuestra de Pilar de los Adaes which served as the Spanish capital of the province of Texas from 1722 to 1772; (2) El Camino Real, over time, comprised an approximately 1,000-mile corridor of changing routes from Saltillo through Monclova and Guerrero, Mexico; San Antonio and Nacogdoches, Texas and then easterly to the vicinity of Los Adaes in present day Louisiana; and constituted the only major overland route from the Rio Grande to the Red River Valley during the Spanish Colonial Period; (3) the seventeenth, eighteenth, and early nineteenth century rivalries among the European colonial powers of Spain, France, and England and after their independence, Mexico and the United States, for dominion over lands fronting the Gulf of Mexico were played out along the evolving travel routes across this immense area; and, as well, the future of several American Indian nations were tied to these larger forces and events; (4) El Camino Real and the subsequent San Antonio Road witnessed a competition that helped determine the United States southern and western boundaries; and (5) the San Antonio Road, like El Camino Real, was a series of routes established over the same corridor but was not necessarily the same as El Camino Real; and that from the 1830’s, waves of American immigrants, many using the Natchez Trace, travelled west to Texas via the San Antonio Road, as did Native Americans attempting to relocate away from the pressures of European settlement.

[S.J. 131]

 Whereas geography is the study of people and their planet, offering a framework for understanding ourselves, our interdependence with other peoples, our relationship to the Earth, and world events; Whereas the United States has both worldwide involvements and influence that demand an understanding of geography, different cultures, and foreign languages; Whereas a thorough knowledge of geography, different cultures, and foreign languages is essential to maintain the Nation’s stature in the international community in matters of business, politics, the environment, and global events; Whereas a geographic perspective is needed to understand the relationship between human activity and the condition of our planet in this time of increasing environmental problems; Whereas our Nation’s Governors, in their National Education Goals, explicitly identified geography along with English, mathematics, science, and history as the 5 core subjects in which American students should demonstrate competency; Whereas world standards are being developed as benchmarks for student performance in each of the core subjects identified in the National Education Goals; and Whereas a knowledge of world geography is essential for citizens of the United States to assume a responsible role in the future of an increasingly interconnected and interdependent world: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Nov. 17, 1993

[S.J. 139]

 Whereas the people of the United States should celebrate children as the most valuable asset of the Nation; Whereas children represent the future, hope, and inspiration of the United States; Whereas the children of the United States should not be allowed to feel that their ideas and dreams will be stifled because adults in the United States do not take time to listen; Whereas many children face crises of grave proportions, especially as they enter adolescent years; Whereas it is important for parents to spend time listening to their children on a daily basis; Whereas modern societal and economic demands often pull the family apart; Whereas encouragement should be given to families to set aside a special time for all family members to remain at home; Whereas adults in the United States should have an opportunity to reminisce on their youth to recapture some of the fresh insight, innocence, and dreams that they may have lost through the years; Whereas the designation of a day to commemorate the children of the United States will provide an opportunity to emphasize to children the importance of developing an ability to make the choices necessary to distance themselves from impropriety; Whereas the designation of a day to commemorate the children of the Nation will emphasize to the people of the United States the importance of the role of the child within the family; Whereas the people of the United States should emphasize to children the importance of family life, education, and spiritual qualities; and Whereas parents, teachers, and community and religious leaders should celebrate the children of the United States, whose questions, laughter, and tears are important to the existence or the United States: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the third Sunday in November of 1993 is designated as “National Children’s 107 STAT. 1501Day”, and the President of the United States is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

22 USC 5001 note.

22 USC 5001 note.
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the “South African Democratic Transition Support Act of 1993”.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. The Congress makes the following findings: (1) After decades of apartheid, South Africa has entered a new era which presents a historic opportunity for a transition to a peaceful, stable, and democratic future. (2) The United States policy of economic sanctions toward the apartheid government of South Africa, as expressed in the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act of 1986, helped bring about reforms in that system of government and has facilitated the establishment of a nonracial government. (3) Through broad and open negotiations, the parties in South Africa have reached a landmark agreement on the future of their country. This agreement includes the establishment of a Transitional Executive Council and the setting of a date for nonracial elections. (4) The international community has a vital interest in supporting the transition from apartheid toward nonracial democracy. (5) The success of the transition in South Africa is crucial to the stability and economic development of the southern African region. (6) Nelson Mandela of the African National Congress and other representative leaders in South Africa have declared that the time has come when the international community should lift all economic sanctions against South Africa. (7) In light of recent developments, the continuation of these economic sanctions is detrimental to persons disadvantaged by apartheid. (8) Those calling for the lifting of economic sanctions against South Africa have made clear that they do not seek the immediate termination of the United Nations-sponsored special sanctions relating to arms transfers, nuclear cooperation, and exports of oil. The Ad Hoc Committee on Southern Africa of the Organization of African Unity, for example, has urged that the oil embargo established pursuant to a 1986 General Assembly resolution be lifted after the establishment 107 STAT. 1504and commencement of the work of the Transitional Executive Council.
SEC. 3.

22 USC 5001 note.

 UNITED STATES POLICY. It is the sense of the Congress that— (1) the United States should— (A) strongly support the Transitional Executive Council in South Africa, (B) encourage rapid progress toward the establishment of a nonracial democratic government in South Africa, and (C) support a consolidation of democracy in South Africa through democratic elections for an interim government and a new nonracial constitution; (2) the United States should continue to provide assistance to support the transition to a nonracial democracy in South Africa, and should urge international financial institutions and other donors to also provide such assistance; (3) to the maximum extent practicable, the United States should consult closely with international financial institutions, other donors, and South African entities on a coordinated strategy to support the transition to a nonracial democracy in South Africa; (4) in order to provide ownership and managerial opportunities, professional advancement, training, and employment for disadvantaged South Africans and to respond to the historical inequities created under apartheid, the United States should— (A) promote the expansion of private enterprise and free markets in South Africa, (B) encourage the South African private sector to take a special responsibility and interest in providing such opportunities, advancement, training, and employment for disadvantaged South Africans, (C) encourage United States private sector investment in and trade with South Africa, (D) urge United States investors to develop a working partnership with representative organs of South African civil society, particularly churches and trade unions, in promoting responsible codes of corporate conduct and other measures to address the historical inequities created under apartheid; (5) the United States should urge the Government of South Africa to liberalize its trade and investment policies to facilitate the expansion of the economy, and to shift resources to meet the needs of disadvantaged South Africans; (6) the United States should promote cooperation between South Africa and other countries in the region to foster regional stability and economic growth; and (7) the United States should demonstrate its support for an expedited transition to, and should adopt a long term policy beneficial to the establishment and perpetuation of, a nonracial democracy in South Africa.

Joint Resolution To acknowledge the 100th anniversary of the January 17, 1893 overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, and to offer an apology to Native Hawatians on behalf of the United States for the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii.

Nov. 23, 1993

[S.J. 19]

 Whereas, prior to the arrival of the first Europeans in 1778, the Native Hawaiian people lived in a highly organized, self-sufficient, subsistent social system based on communal land tenure with a sophisticated language, culture, and religion; Whereas a unified monarchical government of the Hawaiian Islands was established in 1810 under Kamehameha I, the first King of Hawaii; Whereas, from 1826 until 1893, the United States recognized the independence of the Kingdom of Hawaii, extended full and complete diplomatic recognition to the Hawaiian Government, and entered into treaties and conventions with the Hawaiian monarchs to govern commerce and navigation in 1826, 1842, 1849, 1875, and 1887; Whereas the Congregational Church (now known as the United Church of Christ), through its American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, sponsored and sent more than 100 missionaries to the Kingdom of Hawaii between 1820 and 1850; Whereas, on January 14, 1893, John L. Stevens (hereafter referred to in this Resolution as the “United States Minister”), the United States Minister assigned to the sovereign and independent Kingdom of Hawaii conspired with a small group of non-Hawaiian residents of the Kingdom of Hawaii, including citizens of the United States, to overthrow the indigenous and lawful Government of Hawaii; Whereas, in pursuance of the conspiracy to overthrow the Government of Hawaii, the United States Minister and the naval representatives of the United States caused armed naval forces of the United States to invade the sovereign Hawaiian nation on January 16, 1893, and to position themselves near the Hawaiian Government buildings and the Iolani Palace to intimidate Queen Liliuokalani and her Government; Whereas, on the afternoon of January 17, 1893, a Committee of Safety that represented the American and European sugar planters, descendents of missionaries, and financiers deposed the Hawaiian monarchy and proclaimed the establishment of a Provisional Government; Whereas the United States Minister thereupon extended diplomatic recognition to the Provisional Government that was formed by the conspirators without the consent of the Native Hawaiian 107 STAT. 1511people or the lawful Government of Hawaii and in violation of treaties between the two nations and of international law;

Whereas, soon thereafter, when informed of the risk of bloodshed with resistance, Queen Liliuokalani issued the following statement yielding her authority to the United States Government rather than to the Provisional Government:

“I Liliuokalani, by the Grace of God and under the Constitution of the Hawaiian Kingdom, Queen, do hereby solemnly protest against any and all acts done against myself and the Constitutional Government of the Hawaiian Kingdom by certain persons claiming to have established a Provisional Government of and for this Kingdom.

“That I yield to the superior force of the United States of America whose Minister Plenipotentiary, His Excellency John L. Stevens, has caused United States troops to be landed at Honolulu and declared that he would support the Provisional Government.

“Now to avoid any collision of armed forces, and perhaps the loss of life, I do this under protest and impelled by said force yield my authority until such time as the Government of the United States shall, upon facts being presented to it, undo the action of its representatives and reinstate me in the authority which I claim as the Constitutional Sovereign of the Hawaiian Islands.”.

Done at Honolulu this 17th day of January, A.D. 1893.;

 Whereas, without the active support and intervention by the United States diplomatic and military representatives, the insurrection against the Government of Queen Liliuokalani would have failed for lack of popular support and insufficient arms; Whereas, on February 1, 1893, the United States Minister raised the American flag and proclaimed Hawaii to be a protectorate of the United States; Whereas the report of a Presidentially established investigation conducted by former Congressman James Blount into the events surrounding the insurrection and overthrow of January 17, 1893, concluded that the United States diplomatic and military representatives had abused their authority and were responsible for the change in government; Whereas, as a result of this investigation, the United States Minister to Hawaii was recalled from his diplomatic post and the military commander of the United States armed forces stationed in Hawaii was disciplined and forced to resign his commission; Whereas, in a message to Congress on December 18, 1893, President Grover Cleveland reported fully and accurately on the illegal acts of the conspirators, described such acts as an “act of war, committed with the participation of a diplomatic representative of the United States and without authority of Congress”, and acknowledged that by such acts the government of a peaceful and friendly people was overthrown; Whereas President Cleveland further concluded that a “substantial wrong has thus been done which a due regard for our national character as well as the rights of the injured people requires we should endeavor to repair” and called for the restoration of the Hawaiian monarchy; Whereas the Provisional Government protested President Cleveland’s call for the restoration of the monarchy and continued to hold state power and pursue annexation to the United States; Whereas the Provisional Government successfully lobbied the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate (hereafter referred 107 STAT. 1512to in this Resolution as the “Committee”) to conduct a new investigation into the events surrounding the overthrow of the monarchy; Whereas the Committee and its chairman, Senator John Morgan, conducted hearings in Washington, D.C., from December 27, 1893, through February 26, 1894, in which members of the Provisional Government justified and condoned the actions of the United States Minister and recommended annexation of Hawaii; Whereas, although the Provisional Government was able to obscure the role of the United States in the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, it was unable to rally the support from two-thirds of the Senate needed to ratify a treaty of annexation: Whereas, on July 4, 1894, the Provisional Government declared itself to be the Republic of Hawaii; Whereas, on January 24, 1895, while imprisoned in Iolani Palace, Queen Liliuokalani was forced by representatives of the Republic of Hawaii to officially abdicate her throne; Whereas, in the 1896 United States Presidential election, William McKinley replaced Grover Cleveland; Whereas, on July 7, 1898, as a consequence of the Spanish-American War, President McKinley signed the Newlands Joint Resolution that provided for the annexation of Hawaii; Whereas, through the Newlands Resolution, the self-declared Republic of Hawaii ceded sovereignty over the Hawaiian Islands to the United States; Whereas the Republic of Hawaii also ceded 1,800,000 acres of crown, government and public lands of the Kingdom of Hawaii, without the consent of or compensation to the Native Hawaiian people of Hawaii or their sovereign government; Whereas the Congress, through the Newlands Resolution, ratified the cession, annexed Hawaii as part of the United States, and vested title to the lands in Hawaii in the United States; Whereas the Newlands Resolution also specified that treaties existing between Hawaii and foreign nations were to immediately cease and be replaced by United States treaties with such nations; Whereas the Newlands Resolution effected the transaction between the Republic of Hawaii and the United States Government; Whereas the indigenous Hawaiian people never directly relinquished their claims to their inherent sovereignty as a people or over their national lands to the United States, either through their monarchy or through a plebiscite or referendum; Whereas, on April 30, 1900, President McKinley signed the Organic Act that provided a government for the territory of Hawaii and defined the political structure and powers of the newly established Territorial Government and its relationship to the United States; Whereas, on August 21, 1959, Hawaii became the 50th State of the United States; Whereas the health and well-being of the Native Hawaiian people is intrinsically tied to their deep feelings and attachment to the land; Whereas the long-range economic and social changes in Hawaii over the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries have been devastating to the population and to the health and well-being of the Hawaiian people; Whereas the Native Hawaiian people are determined to preserve, develop and transmit to future generations their ancestral territory, and their cultural identity in accordance with their own 107 STAT. 1513spiritual and traditional beliefs, customs, practices, language, and social institutions; Whereas, in order to promote racial harmony and cultural understanding, the Legislature of the State of Hawaii has determined that the year 1993 should serve Hawaii as a year of special reflection on the rights and dignities of the Native Hawaiians in the Hawaiian and the American societies; Whereas the Eighteenth General Synod of the United Church of Christ in recognition of the denomination’s historical complicity in the illegal overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893 directed the Office of the President of the United Church of Christ to offer a public apology to the Native Hawaiian people and to initiate the process of reconciliation between the United Church of Christ and the Native Hawaiians; and Whereas it is proper and timely for the Congress on the occasion of the impending one hundredth anniversary of the event, to acknowledge the historic significance of the illegal overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, to express its deep regret to the Native Hawaiian people, and to support the reconciliation efforts of the State of Hawaii and the United Church of Christ with Native Hawaiians: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND APOLOGY. The Congress— (1) on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the illegal overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii on January 17, 1893, acknowledges the historical significance of this event which resulted in the suppression of the inherent sovereignty of the Native Hawaiian people; (2) recognizes and commends efforts of reconciliation initiated by the State of Hawaii and the United Church of Christ with Native Hawaiians; (3) apologizes to Native Hawaiians on behalf of the people of the United States for the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii on January 17, 1893 with the participation of agents and citizens of the United States, and the deprivation of the rights of Native Hawaiians to self-determination; (4) expresses its commitment to acknowledge the ramifications of the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii, in order to provide a proper foundation for reconciliation between the United States and the Native Hawaiian people; and (5) urges the President of the United States to also acknowledge the ramifications of the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii and to support reconciliation efforts between the United States and the Native Hawaiian people.
SEC. 2. DEFINITIONS. As used in this Joint Resolution, the term “Native Hawaiian” means any individual who is a descendent of the aboriginal people who, prior to 1778, occupied and exercised sovereignty in the area that now constitutes the State of Hawaii.

 Whereas organized home care services for the elderly and disabled have existed in the United States since the last quarter of the 18th century; Whereas home care is an effective and economical alternative to unnecessary institutionalization; Whereas caring for the ill and disabled in their homes places an emphasis on the dignity and independence of the individual receiving these services; Whereas since the enactment of the medicare home care program, which provides coverage for skilled nursing services, physical therapy, speech therapy, social services, occupational therapy, and home health aide services, the number of home care agencies in the United States providing these services has increased from fewer than 1,275 to more than 12,000; and Whereas many private and charitable organizations provide these and similar services to millions of individuals each year, preventing, postponing, and limiting the need for them to become institutionalized to receive these services: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the periods commencing on November 28, 1993, and ending on December 4, 1993, and commencing on November 27, 1994, and ending on December 3, 1994, are each designated as “National Home Care Week”, and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe such weeks with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Hundreds of thousands of noncombatant civilians, including children, have been the primary victims. Unlike other military weapons, landmines often remain implanted and undiscovered after conflict has ended, causing massive suffering to civilian populations.</content> </paragraph> <paragraph class="indent1 fontsize10"> <num value="2">(2) </num> <content>Tens of millions of landmines have been strewn in at least 62 countries, often making whole areas uninhabitable. The Department of State estimates that there are more than 10,000,000 landmines in Afghanistan, 9,000,000 in Angola, 4,000,000 in Cambodia, 3,000,000 in Iraqi Kurdistan, and 2,000,000 each in Somalia, Mozambique, and the former Yugoslavia.

However, the United States is not a major exporter of landmines. During the 10 years from 1983 through 1992, the United States approved 10 licenses for the commercial export of anti-personnel landmines with a total value of $980,000 and the sale under the Foreign Military Sales program of 108,852 anti-personnel landmines.</content> </paragraph> <paragraph class="indent1 fontsize10"> <num value="5">(5) </num> <content>The United States signed, but has not ratified, the 1980 Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May Be Deemed To Be Excessively Injurious or To Have Indiscriminate Effects.

Amendments to the Landmine Protocol may be considered at that time. A formal request has been made to the United Nations Secretary General for a review conference. With necessary preparations and consultations among governments, a review conference is not expected to be convened before late 1994 or early 1995.</content> </paragraph> <paragraph class="indent1 fontsize10"> <num value="11">(11) </num> <content>The United States should continue to set an example for other countries in such negotiations by extending the moratorium on sales, transfers, and exports of anti-personnel landmines for an additional three years.

Dec. 1, 1993

[H.R. 2650]

 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. (a) Findings.— The Congress finds that— (1) the Maurice River and its tributaries, Menantico Creek, the Manumuskin River, and Muskee Creek, are eligible for inclusion into the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, the segments and their classifications being as follows— (A) the Maurice River, lower segment, from the United States Geological Survey Station at Shellpile to Route 670 Bridge at Mauricetown, approximately 7.0 miles, as a recreational river; (B) the Maurice River, middle segment, from Route 670 Bridge at Mauricetown to 3.6 miles upstream (at drainage ditch just upstream of Fralinger Farm), approximately 3.8 miles as a scenic river; (C) the Maurice River, middle segment, from the drainage ditch just upstream of Fralinger Farm to one-half mile upstream from the United States Geological Survey Station at Burcham Farm, approximately 3.1 miles, as a recreational river; (D) the Maurice River, upper segment, from one-half mile upstream from the United States Geological Survey Station at Burcham Farm to the south side of the Millville sewage treatment plant, approximately 3.6 miles, as a scenic river; (E) the Menantico Creek, lower segment, from its confluence with the Maurice River to the Route 55 Bridge, approximately 1.4 miles, as a recreational river; (F) the Menantico Creek, upper segment, from the Route 55 Bridge to the base of the Impoundment at Menantico Lake, approximately 6.5 miles, as a scenic river, 107 STAT. 1969 (G) the Manumuskin River, lower segment, from its confluence with the Maurice River to 2.0 miles upstream, as a recreational river, (H) the Manumuskin River, upper segment, from 2.0 miles upstream from its confluence with the Maurice River to headwaters near Route 557, approximately 12.3 miles, as a scenic river; and (I) the Muskee Creek from its confluence to the Pennsylvania Reading Seashore Line Railroad bridge, approximately 2.7 miles, as a scenic river; (2) a resource assessment of the Maurice River and its tributaries, Menantico Creek, the Manumuskin River, and the Muskee Creek shows that the area possesses numerous outstandingly remarkable natural, cultural, scenic, and recreational resources that are significant at the local, regional, and international levels, including rare plant and animal species and critical habitats for birds migrating to and from the north and south hemispheres; and (3) a river management plan for the river system has been developed by the Cumberland County Department of Planning and Development and adopted by the Maurice River Township, Commercial Township, and the City of Millville that would meet the requirements of section 6(c) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, the City of Vineland has adopted a master plan which calls for river planning and management and is in the process of adopting zoning ordinances to implement their plan, and Buena Vista Townsnip in Atlantic County has adopted a land use plan consistent with the Pinelands Comprehensive Plan which is more restrictive than the Cumberland County local river management plan. (b) Purposes.— The purposes of this Act are to— (1) declare the importance and irreplaceable resource values of the Maurice River and its tributaries to water quality, human health, traditional economic activities, ecosystem integrity, biotic diversity, fish and wildlife, scenic open space and recreation and protect such values through designation of the segments as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System; (2) recognize that the Maurice River System will continue to be threatened by major development and that land use regulations of the individual local political jurisdictions through which the river segments pass cannot alone provide for an adequate balance between conservation of the river’s resources and commercial and industrial development; and (3) recognize that segments of the Maurice River and its tributaries additional to those designated under this Act are eligible for potential designation at some point in the near future.
SEC. 2. DESIGNATION. Section 3(a) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1274(a)) is amended by adding the following new paragraphs at the end thereof:

“( ) The Maurice River, Middle Segment.—From Route 670 Bridge at Mauricetown to 3.6 miles upstream (at drainage ditch just upstream of Fralinger Farm), approximately 3.8 miles to be administered by the Secretary of the Interior as a scenic river.

SEC. 3. MANAGEMENT.

16 USC 1274 note.

 (a) Duties of Secretary.— The Secretary of the Interior shall manage the river segments designated as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System by this Act through cooperative agreements with the political jurisdictions within which such segments pass, pursuant to section 10(e) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, and in consultation with such jurisdictions, except that publicly-owned lands within the boundaries of such segments shall continue to be managed by the agency having jurisdiction over such lands. (b) Agreements.— (1) Cooperative agreements for management of the river segments referred to in subsection (a) shall provide for the long-term protection, preservation, and enhancement of such segments and shall be consistent with the comprehensive management plan for such segments to be prepared by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to section 3(d) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and with the local river management plans prepared by appropriate local political jurisdictions in conjunction with the Secretary of the Interior. (2) The Secretary of the Interior, in consultation with appropriate representatives of local political jurisdictions and the State of New Jersey, shall review local river management plans described in paragraph (1) to assure that their proper implementation will protect the values for which the river segments described in section 2 were designated as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. If after such review the Secretary determines that 107 STAT. 1971such plans and their implementing local zoning ordinances meet the protection standards specified in section 6(c) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, then such plans shall be deemed to constitute “local zoning ordinances” and each township and other incorporated local jurisdiction covered by such plans shall be deemed to constitute a “village” for the purposes of section 6(c) (prohibiting the acquisition of lands by condemnation) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. (3) The Secretary of the Interior shall biennially review compliance with the local over management plans described in paragraph (1) and shall promptly report to the Committee on Natural Resources of the United States House of Representatives and to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the United States Senate any deviation from such which would result in any diminution of the values for which the river segment concerned was designated as a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. (c) Planning Assistance.— The Secretary of the Interior may provide planning assistance to local political subdivisions of the State of New Jersey through which flow river segments that are designated as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System, and may enter into memoranda of understanding or cooperative agreements with officials or agencies of the United States or the State of New Jersey to ensure that Federal and State programs that could affect such segments are carried out in a manner consistent with the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and applicable river management plans. (d) Segment Additions.— The Secretary of the Interior is encouraged to continue to work with the local municipalities to negotiate agreement and support for designating those segments of the Maurice River and its tributaries which were found eligible for designation pursuant to Public Law 100–33 and were not designated pursuant to this Act (hereinafter referred to as “additional eligible segments”). For a period of 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act, the provisions of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act applicable to segments included in section 5 of that Act shall apply to the additional eligible segments. The Secretary of the Interior is directed to report to the appropriate congressional committees within 3 years after the date of enactment of this Act on the status of discussions and negotiations with the local municipalities and on recommendations toward inclusion of additional river segments into the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. 107 STAT. 1972 (e) Appropriations.— For the purposes of the segment described by subsection (a), there are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this Act.

 Whereas Salem City Schools in Salem, Ohio, have proclaimed January 16, 1992, as “Good Teen Day”; Whereas there are more than twenty-four million teenagers in the United States according to the 1990 Census; Whereas our Nation’s teenagers represent an important part of our society, and the many physical and emotional changes and character-building experiences which teenagers go through are an important concern; Whereas it is easy to stereotype teenagers as either those who have problems or those who excel; Whereas teenagers should not simply be recognized for their intelligence, abilities, skills and talents, but rather for the good which is inherent in all human beings; Whereas as unique individuals, teenagers are encouraged to esteem the good as well as the potential that is within each of them; Whereas a day should be created to focus on the positive qualities in America’s youth; and Whereas teenagers are the future of this great country: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That January 16, 1994, is designated as “National Good Teen Day”, and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to observe such day by recognizing the teenagers of the United States and by participating in appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Joint Resolution To express appreciation to W. Graham Claytor, Jr., for a lifetime of dedicated and inspired service to the Nation.

Dec. 2, 1993

[H.J. Res. 294]

 Whereas W. Graham Claytor, Jr., has announced his retirement at age 81 from the National Railroad Passenger Corporation, better known as Amtrak, where he has served as President and Chairman of the Board since 1982; Whereas W. Graham Claytor, Jr., has provided remarkable, energetic, inspired, and at times heroic service to the Nation during a career that has included service in the United States Navy, a brilliant legal career, leadership of one of the Nation’s largest private railroads, service as Secretary of the Navy, Acting Secretary of Transportation, and Deputy Secretary of Defense, and stewardship of Amtrak during a period that witnessed the rebirth of the Nation’s passenger rail system; Whereas W. Graham Claytor, Jr., has brought to his work enormous intellectual and analytical skills developed at the University of Virginia, where he received his bachelor’s degree in 1933, and Harvard Law School, where he graduated in 1936 summa cum laude and as President of the Harvard Law Review; Whereas W. Graham Claytor, Jr., worked as a law clerk for two of the finest and most brilliant jurists in this Nation’s history, Judge Learned Hand of the United States Court of Appeals for the Second District in 1936–1937, and Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis in 1937–1938, and later as an associate and partner at the law firm of Covington & Burling; Whereas W. Graham Claytor, Jr., served his Nation during World War II, advancing in the United States Navy from ensign to lieutenant commander, and held commands of the U.S.S. SC–516, the U.S.S. Lee Fox, and the U.S.S. Cecil J. Doyle; Whereas W. Graham Claytor, Jr., is credited with having saved almost 100 survivors of the sinking heavy cruiser U.S.S. Indianapolis, which had been torpedoed in shark-infested waters in the Pacific, by decisively changing the course of his ship, the U.S.S. Doyle, to rescue the survivors hours before receiving orders to take part in the rescue; 107 STAT. 1976 Whereas W. Graham Claytor, Jr., retired in 1977 as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Southern Railways, where he also had served as Vice President of Law and President, and was responsible for revamping the corporation’s management style, planning, and long-term focus, and for making the railroad one of the largest and most successful in the Nation; Whereas W. Graham Claytor, Jr., brought his experience as a decisive Naval officer and premier corporate manager to bear on the challenge of shaping a strong, versatile, modern Navy through his appointment by President Jimmy Carter and confirmation by the Senate in 1977 as Secretary of the Navy, and on the challenge of providing for a strong defense within mounting budgetary constraints in 1979 as Deputy Secretary of Defense, as well as serving as Acting Secretary of Transportation; Whereas W. Graham Claytor, Jr., was appointed President and Chairman of the Board of Amtrak in 1982 at the age of 71, and is directly responsible for the dramatic improvement in the economics, quality, and marketability of rail passenger service that has occurred over the last decade, and in the resurgence of demand for Amtrak service as a means of addressing growing highway and airport congestion across the Nation; Whereas the vision of leadership of W. Graham Claytor, Jr., is responsible for having enabled Amtrak and Congress to withstand zealous attempts to eliminate the Nation’s rail passenger system by demanding of his corporation that Amtrak operate as a private business with strict attention to the bottom line and to improvements in efficiency and quality of service, and by engineering a substantial reduction in the corporation’s revenue-to-cost ratio and in level of Federal support required to operate the system; Whereas W. Graham Claytor, Jr., has positioned Amtrak to be the Nation’s leader in the development of high-speed rail for the next century and has overseen development of the Northeast Corridor as the Nation’s premier rail passenger line and a model for high-speed operations across the country; and Whereas the retirement of W. Graham Claytor, Jr., will mean the loss of one of the Nation’s most knowledgeable, inspiring, and persuasive voices in government service and of a close, personal friend to many in Congress, the Government, and business: Now, therefore, be it 107 STAT. 1977 Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the Congress recognizes the critical role of Amtrak in the Nation’s transportation system, and that the Nation profoundly thanks W. Graham Claytor, Jr., for a lifetime of dedication and superb service to this Nation, for his willingness to assume major new public challenges at a time when his peers had long ago retired, for his ability to profoundly change the course of events, from the lives of the sailors of the U.S.S. Indianapolis to the preservation of national rail passenger service, and tor his brilliant stewardship of Amtrak over the past decade.

(a) In General.— Section 10701 of title 49, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following: “(f) Procedures for Resolving Claims Involving Unfiled, Negotiated Transportation Rates.— “(1) In general.— When a claim is made by a motor carrier of property (other than a household goods carrier) providing transportation subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under subchapter II of chapter 105 of this title, by a freight forwarder (other than a household goods freight forwarder), or by a party representing such a carrier or freight forwarder regarding the collection of rates or charges for such transportation in addition to those originally billed and collected by the carrier or freight forwarder for such transportation, the person against whom the claim is made may elect to satisfy the claim under the provisions of paragraph (2), (3), or (4) of this subsection, upon showing that— “(A) the carrier or freight forwarder is. no longer transporting property or is transporting property for the purpose of avoiding the application of this subsection; and “(B) with respect to the claim— “(i) the person was offered a transportation rate by the carrier or freight forwarder other than that legally on file with the Commission for the transportation service; “(ii) the person tendered freight to the carrier or freight forwarder in reasonable reliance upon the offered transportation rate; “(iii) the carrier or freight forwarder did not properly or timely file with the Commission a tariff providing for such transportation rate or failed to enter into an agreement for contract carriage; “(iv) such transportation rate was billed and collected by the carrier or freight forwarder; and 107 STAT. 2045 “(v) the carrier or freight forwarder demands additional payment of a higher rate filed in a tariff. If there is a dispute as to the showing under subparagraph (A), such dispute shall be resolved by the court in which the claim is brought. If there is a dispute as to the showing under subparagraph (B), such dispute shall be resolved by the Commission. Pending the resolution of any such dispute, the person shall not have to pay any additional compensation to the carrier or freight forwarder. Satisfaction of the claim under paragraph (2), (3), or (4) of this subsection shall be binding on the parties, and the parties shall not be subject to chapter 119 of this title. “(2) Claims involving shipments weighing 10,000 pounds or less.— A person from whom the additional legally applicable and effective tariff rate or charges are sought may elect to satisfy the claim if the shipments each weighed 10,000 pounds or less, by payment of 20 percent of the difference between the carrier’s applicable and effective tariff rate and the rate originally billed and paid. In the event that a dispute arises as to the rate that was legally applicable to the shipment, such dispute shall be resolved by the Commission. “(3) Claims involving shipments weighing more than 10,000 pounds.— A person from whom the additional legally applicable and effective tariff rate or charges are sought may elect to satisfy the claim if the shipments each weighed more than 10,000 pounds, by payment of 15 percent of the difference between the carriers applicable and effective tariff rate and the rate originally billed and paid. In the event that a dispute arises as to the rate that was legally applicable to the shipment, such dispute shall be resolved by the Commission. “(4) Claims involving public warehousemen.— Notwithstanding paragraphs (2) and (3), a person from whom the additional legally applicable and effective tariff rate or charges are sought may elect to satisfy the claim by payment of 5 percent of the difference between the carrier’s applicable and effective tariff rate and the rate originally billed and paid if such person is a public warehouseman. In the event that a dispute arises as to the rate that was legally applicable to the shipment, such dispute shall be resolved by the Commission. “(5) Effects of election.— When a person from whom additional legally applicable freight rates or charges are sought does not elect to use the provisions of paragraph (2), (3), or (4), the person may pursue all rights and remedies existing under this title. “(6) Stay of additional compensation.— When a person proceeds under this section to challenge the reasonableness of the legally applicable freight rate or charges being claimed by a carrier or freight forwarder described in paragraph (1) in addition to those already billed and collected, the person shall not have to pay any additional compensation to the carrier or freight forwarder until the Commission has made a determination as to the reasonableness of the challenged rate as applied to the freight of the person against whom the claim is made. “(7) Limitation on statutory construction.— Except as authorized in paragraphs (2), (3), (4), and (9) of this subsection, 107 STAT. 2046nothing in thia subsection shall relieve a motor common carrier of the duty to file and adhere to its rates, rules, and classifications as required in sections 10761 and 10762 of this title. “(8) Notification of election.— “(A) General rule.— A person must notify the carrier or freight forwarder as to its election to proceed under paragraph (2), (3), or (4). Except as provided in subparagraphs (B), (C), and (D), such election may be made at any time. “(B) Demands for payment initially made after date of enactment.— If the carrier or freight forwarder or party representing such carrier or freight forwarder initially demands the payment of additional freight charges after the date of the enactment of this subsection and notifies the person from whom additional freight charges are sought of the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (7) at the time of the making of such initial demand, the election must be made not later than the later of— “(i) the 60th day following the filing of an answer to a suit for the collection of such additional legally applicable freight rate or charges, or “(ii) the 90th day following the date of the enactment of this subsection. “(C) Pending suits for collection made before or on date of enactment.— If the carrier or freight forwarder or party representing such carrier or freight forwarder has filed, before or on the date of the enactment of this subsection, a suit for the collection of additional freight charges and notifies the person from whom additional freight charges are sought of the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (7), the election must be made not later than the 90th day following the date on which such notification is received. “(D) Demands for payment made before or on date of enactment.— If the carrier or freight forwarder or party representing such carrier or freight forwarder has demanded the payment of additional freight charges, and has not filed a suit for the collection of such additional freight charges, before or on the date of the enactment of this subsection and notifies the person from whom additional freight charges are sought of the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (7), the election must be made not later than the later of— “(i) the 60th day following the filing of an answer to a suit for the collection of such additional legally applicable freight rate or charges, or “(ii) the 90th day following the date of the enactment of this subsection. “(9) Claims involving small-business concerns, charitable organizations, and recyclable materials.— Notwithstanding paragraphs (2), (3), and (4), a person from whom the additional legally applicable and effective tariff rate or charges are sought shall not be liable for the difference between the carrier’s applicable and effective tariff rate and the rate originally billed and paid— “(A) if such person qualifies as a small-business concern under the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 631 et seq.), 107 STAT. 2047 “(B) if such person is an organization which is described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and exempt from tax under section 501(a) of such Code, or “(C) if the cargo involved in the claim is recyclable materials, as defined in section 10733.” (b) Conforming Amendment.— Subsection (e) of such section

49 USC 10701 note.

 (1) General rule.— For purposes of section 10701 of title 49, United States Code, it shall be an unreasonable practice for a motor carrier of property (other than a household goods carrier) providing transportation subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under subchapter II of chapter 105 of such title, a freight forwarder (other than a household goods freight forwarder), or a party representing such a carrier or freight forwarder to attempt to charge or to charge for a transportation service provided before September 30, 1990, the difference between the applicable rate that is lawfully in effect pursuant to a tariff that is filed in accordance with chapter 107 of such title by the carrier or freight forwarder applicable to such transportation service and the negotiated rate for such transportation service if the carrier or freight forwarder is no longer transporting property between places described in section 10521(a)(1) of such title or is transporting property between places described in section 10521(a)(1) of such title for the purpose of avoiding the application of this subsection. (2) Jurisdiction of commission.— The Commission shall have jurisdiction to make a determination of whether or not attempting to charge or the charging of a rate by a motor carrier or freight forwarder or party representing a motor carrier or freight forwarder is an unreasonable practice under paragraph (1). If the Commission determines that attempting to charge or the charging of the rate is an unreasonable practice under paragraph (1), the carrier, freight forwarder, or party may not collect the difference described in paragraph (1) between the applicable rate and the negotiated rate for the transportation service. In making such determination, the Commission shall consider— (A) whether the person was offered a transportation rate by the carrier or freight forwarder or party other than that legally on file with the Commission for the transportation service; 107 STAT. 2048 (B) whether the person tendered freight to the carrier or freight forwarder in reasonable reliance upon the offered transportation rate; (C) whether the carrier or freight forwarder did not properly or timely file with the Commission a tariff providing for such transportation rate or failed to enter into an agreement for contract carriage; (D) whether the transportation rate was billed and collected by the carrier or freight forwarder; and (E) whether the carrier or freight forwarder or party demands additional payment of a higher rate filed in a tariff. (3) Stay of additional compensation.— When a person proceeds under this subsection to challenge the reasonableness of the practice of a motor carrier, freight forwarder, or party described in paragraph (1) to attempt to charge or to charge the difference described in paragraph (1) between the applicable rate and the negotiated rate for the transportation service in addition to those charges already billed and collected for the transportation service, the person shall not have to pay any additional compensation to the carrier, freight forwarder, or party until the Commission has made a determination as to the reasonableness of the practice as applied to the freight of the person against whom the claim is made. (4) Treatment.— Paragraph (1) of this subsection is enacted as an exception, and shall be treated as an exception, to the requirements of sections 10761(a) and 10762 of title 49, United States Code, relating to a filed tariff rate for a transportation or service subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission and other general tariff requirements. (5) Nonapplicability of negotiated rate dispute resolution procedure.— If a person elects to seek enforcement of paragraph (1) with respect to a rate for a transportation or service, section 10701(f) of title 49, United States Code, as added by subsection (a) of this section, shall not apply to such rate. (6) Definitions.— For purposes of this subsection, the following definitions apply: (A) Commission, household goods, household goods freight forwarder, and motor carrier.— The terms “Commission”, “household goods”, “household goods freight forwarder”, and “motor carrier” have the meaning such terms have under section 10102 of title 49, United States Code. (B) Negotiated rate.— The term “negotiated rate” means a rate, charge, classification, or rule agreed upon by a motor carrier or freight forwarder described in paragraph (1) and a shipper through negotiations pursuant to which no tariff was lawfully and timely filed with the Commission and for which there is written evidence of such agreement. (f)

49 USC 10701 note.

 Prior Settlements and Adjudications.— Any claim that, but for this subsection, would be subject to any provision of this Act (including any amendment made by this Act) and that was settled by mutual agreement of the parties to such claim, or resolved by a final adjudication of a Federal or State court, before the date of the enactment of this Act shall be treated as binding, 107 STAT. 2049enforceable, and not contrary to law, unless such settlement was agreed to as a result of fraud or coercion. (g) Rate Reasonableness.— Section 10701(e) of title 49, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following: “Any complaint brought against a motor carrier (other than a carrier described in subsection (f)(1)(A)) by a person (other than a motor carrier) for unreasonably high rates for past or future transportation shall be determined under this subsection.”.
SEC. 3. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. (a) Motor Carrier Charges.— Section 11706(a) of title 49, United States Code, is amended by striking the period at the end and inserting the following: except that a motor carrier (other than a motor carrier providing transportation of household goods) or freight forwarder (other than a household goods freight forwarder)— “(1) must begin such a civil action within 2 years after the claim accrues if the transportation or service is provided by the carrier in the 1-year period beginning on the date of the enactment of the Negotiated Rates Act of 1993; and “(2) must begin such a civil action within 18 months after the claim accrues if the transportation or service is provided by the carrier after the last day of such 1-year period.”.

(b) Range Tariffs.— Such section is further amended by adding at the end the following: “(i) Range Tariffs.— No tariff filed by a motor carrier of property with the Commission before, on, or after the date of the enactment of this subsection may be held invalid solely on the basis that the tariff does not show a specific rate or discount for a specific shipment if the tariff is based on a range of rates or discounts for specific classes of shipments. For transportation performed on or after the 180th day following such date of enactment, such a range tariff must identify the specific rate or discount from among the range of rates or discounts contained in such range tariff which is applicable to each specific shipment or must contain an objective means for determining the rate.”.

(a) In General.— Section 10702 of title 49, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new subsection: “(c) Contracts of Carriage for Motor Contract Carriers.— “(1) General rule.— A motor contract carrier providing transportation subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission under subchapter II of chapter 105 of this title shall enter into a written agreement, separate from the bill of lading 107 STAT. 2051or receipt, for each contract for the provision of transportation subject to such jurisdiction which is entered into after the 90th day following the date of the enactment of this subsection. “(2) Minimum content requirements.— The written agreement shall, at a minimum— “(A) identify the parties thereto; “(B) commit the shipper to tender and the carrier to transport a series of shipments; “(C) contain the contract rate or rates for the transportation service to be or being provided; and “(D) (i) state that it provides for the assignment of motor vehicles for a continuing period of time for the exclusive use of the shipper; or “(ii) state that it provides that the service is designed to meet the distinct needs of the shipper. “(3) Retention by carrier.— All written agreements entered into by a motor contract carrier under paragraph (1) shall be retained by the carrier while in effect and for a minimum period of 3 years thereafter and shall be made available to the Commission upon request. “(4) Random audits by commission.— The Commission shall conduct periodic random audits to ensure that motor contract carriers are complying with this subsection and are adhering to the rates set forth in their agreements.”.

Where the actual rate, charge, or allowance is dependent upon the performance of a service by a party to the transportation arrangement, such as tendering a volume of freight over a stated period of time, the motor carrier shall indicate in any document presented for payment to the person responsible directly to the motor carrier for the payment that a reduction, allowance, or other adjustment may apply. “(c) Payments or Allowances for Certain Services.— The regulations issued by the Commission pursuant to this section shall not prohibit a motor carrier from making payments or allowances to a party to the transaction for services that would otherwise be performed by the motor carrier, such as a loading or unloading service, if the payments or allowances are reasonably related to the cost that such party knows or has reason to know would otherwise be incurred by the motor carrier.”.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, the express civil penalties and damages provided for in this subsection are the exclusive legal sanctions to be imposed under this title for practices found to be in violation of the regulations issued under section 10767 and such violations do not render tariff or contract provisions void or unenforceable.”.

Fresh Cut Flowers and Fresh Cut Greens Promotion and Information Act of 1993.

7 USC 6801 note.
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE AND TABLE OF CONTENTS. (a) Short Title.— This Act may be cited as the “Fresh Cut Flowers and Fresh Cut Greens Promotion and Information Act of 1993”. (b) Table of Contents.— The table of contents of this Act is as follows: Sec. 1. Sec. 2. Sec. 3. Sec. 4. Sec. 5. Sec. 6. Sec. 7. Sec. 8. Sec. 9. Sec. 10. Sec. 11. Sec. 12. Sec. 13. Sec. 14. Sec. 15.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF POLICY.

7 USC 6801.

 (a) Findings.— Congress finds that— (1) fresh cut flowers and fresh cut greens are an integral part of life in the United States, are enjoyed by millions of persons every year for a multitude of special purposes (especially important personal events), and contribute a natural and beautiful element to the human environment; (2) (A) cut flowers and cut greens are produced by many individual producers throughout the United States as well as in other countries, and are handled and marketed by thousands of small-sized and medium-sized businesses; and (B) the production, handling, and marketing of cut flowers and cut greens constitute a key segment of the United States horticultural industry and thus a significant part of the overall agricultural economy of the United States; (3) handlers play a vital role in the marketing of cut flowers and cut greens in that handlers— (A) purchase most of the cut flowers and cut greens marketed by producers; 107 STAT. 2267 (B) prepare the cut flowers and cut greens for retail consumption; (C) serve as an intermediary between the source of the product and the retailer, (D) otherwise facilitate the entry of cut flowers and cut greens into the current of domestic commerce; and (E) add efficiencies to the market process that ensure the availability of a much greater variety of the product to retailers and consumers; (4) it is widely recognized that it is in the public interest and important to the agricultural economy of the United States to provide an adequate, steady supply of cut flowers and cut greens at reasonable prices to the consumers of the United States; (5) (A) cut flowers and cut greens move in interstate and foreign commerce; and (B) cut flowers and cut greens that do not move in interstate or foreign channels of commerce but only in intrastate commerce directly affect interstate commerce in cut flowers and cut greens; (6) the maintenance and expansion of markets in existence on the date of enactment of this Act, and the development of new or improved markets or uses for cut flowers and cut greens, are needed to preserve and strengthen the economic viability of the domestic cut flowers and cut greens industry for the benefit of producers, handlers, retailers, and the entire floral industry; (7) generic programs of promotion and consumer information can be effective in maintaining and developing markets for cut flowers and cut greens, and have the advantage of equally enhancing the market position for all cut flowers and cut greens; (8) because cut flowers and cut greens producers are primarily agriculture-oriented rather than promotion-oriented, and because the floral marketing industry within the United States is comprised mainly of small-sized and medium-sized businesses, the development and implementation of an adequate and coordinated national program of generic promotion and consumer information necessary for the maintenance of markets in existence on the date of enactment of this Act and the development of new markets for cut flowers and cut greens have been prevented; (9) there exist established State and commodity-specific producer-funded programs of promotion and research that are valuable efforts to expand markets for domestic producers of cut flowers and cut greens and that will benefit from the promotion and consumer information program authorized by this Act in that the program will enhance the market development efforts of the programs for domestic producers; (10) an effective and coordinated method for ensuring cooperative and collective action in providing for and financing a nationwide program of generic promotion and consumer information is needed to ensure that the cut flowers and cut greens industry will be able to provide, obtain, and implement programs of promotion and consumer information necessary to maintain, expand, and develop markets for cut flowers and cut greens; and 107 STAT. 2268 (11) the most efficient method of financing such a nationwide program is to assess cut flowers and cut greens at the point at which the flowers and greens are sold by handlers into the retail market. (b) Policy and Purpose.— It is the policy of Congress that it is in the public interest, and it is the purpose of this Act, to authorize the establishment, through the exercise of the powers provided in this Act, of an orderly procedure for the development and financing (through an adequate assessment on cut flowers and cut greens sold by handlers to retailers and related entities in the United States) of an effective and coordinated program of generic promotion, consumer information, and related research designed to strengthen the position of the cut flowers and cut greens industry in the marketplace and to maintain, develop, and expand markets for cut flowers and cut greens.

Lime Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Improvement Act.

7 USC 6201 note.

7 USC 6201 note.
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the “Lime Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Improvement Act”.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. (a) Findings.— Congress finds the following: (1) The Lime Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Act of 1990 was enacted on November 28, 1990, for the purpose of establishing an orderly procedure for the development and financing of an effective and coordinated program of research, promotion, and consumer information to strengthen the domestic and foreign markets for limes. (2) The lime research, promotion, and consumer information order required by such Act became effective on January 27, 1992. (3) Although the intent of such Act was to cover seedless limes, the definition of the term “lime” in section 1953(6) of such Act applies to seeded limes. Therefore, the Act and the order need to be revised before a research, promotion, and consumer information program on seedless limes can go into effect. (4) Since the enactment of the Lime Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Act of 1990, the United States production of fresh market limes has plummeted and the volume of imports has risen dramatically. The drop in United States production is primarily due to damage to lime orchards in the State of Florida by Hurricane Andrew in August 1992. United States production is not expected to reach pre-Hurricane Andrew levels for possibly two to three years because a majority of the United States production of limes is in Florida. (b) Purposes.— The purpose of this Act is— (1) to revise the definition of the term “lime” in order to cover seedless and not seeded limes; (2) to increase the exemption level; (3) to delay the initial referendum date; and (4) to alter the composition of the Lime Board.
107 STAT. 2295
SEC. 3. DEFINITION OF LIME. Section 1953(6) of the Lime Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 6202(6)) is amended by striking “citrus aurantifolia” and inserting “citrus latifolia”.
SEC. 4. REQUIRED TERMS IN ORDERS. (a) Composition of Lime Board.— Subsection (b) of section 1955 of the Lime Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 6204) is amended— (1) in paragraph (1)(A), by striking “7” and inserting “3”; (2) in paragraph (2)(B), by striking “7” and inserting “3”; (3) in paragraph (2)(F), by adding at the end the following new sentence: “The Secretary shall terminate the initial Board established under this subsection as soon as practicable after the date of the enactment of the Lime Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Improvement Act.”; and (4) by inserting after paragraph (2)(F) the following new paragraph: “(G) Board allocation.— The producer and importer representation on the Board shall be allocated on the basis of 2 producer members and 1 importer member from the district east of the Mississippi River and 1 producer member and 2 importer members from the district west of the Mississippi River.”. (b) Terms of Members.— Subsection (b)(4) of such section is amended— (1) by striking “Members” and all that follows through “appointed—” and inserting “The initial members of the Board appointed under the amended order shall serve a term of 30 months. Subsequent appointments to the Board shall be for a term of 3 years, except that—”, (2) in subparagraph (A), by striking “3” and inserting “2”; (3) in subparagraph (B), by striking “4” and inserting “2”; and (4) in subparagraph (C), by striking “4” and inserting “3”. (c) De Minimis Exception.— Subsection (d)(5) of such section is amended by striking “35,000” each place it appears and inserting “200,000”.
SEC. 5. INITIAL REFERENDUM. Section 1960(a) of the Lime Research, Promotion, and Consumer Information Act of 1990 (7 U.S.C. 6209(a)) is amended by striking “Not later than 2 years after the date on which the Secretary first issues an order under section 1954(a),” and inserting 107 STAT. 2296“Not later than 30 months after the date on which the collection of assessments begins under the order pursuant to section 1955(d),”.

 Whereas December 15, 1991, is the 200th anniversary of the completion of the ratification of the Bill of Rights; Whereas the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States guarantees religious liberty to the people of the United States; Whereas millions of people from all parts of the world have come to the United States fleeing religious persecution and seeking to worship; Whereas in 1777 Thomas Jefferson wrote the bill entitled “A Bill for Establishing Religious Freed in Virginia” to guarantee freedom of conscience and separation of church and State; Whereas in 1786, through the devotion of Virginians such as George Mason and James Madison, the General Assembly of Virginia passed such bill; Whereas the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom inspired and shaped the guarantee of religious freedom in the first amendment; Whereas the Supreme Court of the United States has recognized repeatedly that the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom was an important influence in the development of the Bill of Rights; Whereas scholars across the United States have proclaimed the vital importance of such statute and leader in fields such as law and religion have devoted time, energy and resources to celebrating its contribution to international freedom; and Whereas America’s First Freedom Center, located in Richmond, Virginia, plans a permanent monument to the Statute of Religious Freedom, accompanied by educational programs and commemorative activities for visitors from around the world: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That January 16, 1994, is designated as “Religious Freedom Day”, and the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation calling 107 STAT. 2300on the people of the United States to join together to celebrate their religious freedom and to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Guam.

Northern Mariana Islands.

16 USC 410dd note.
SECTION 1. FINDINGS. Congress finds that— note. (1) June 15 through August 10, 1994, marks the 50th anniversary of the Mariana campaign of World War II in which American forces captured the islands of Saipan and Tinian in the Northern Marianas and liberated the United States Territory of Guam from Japanese occupation; (2) an attack during this campaign by the Japanese Imperial fleet, aimed at countering the American forces that had landed on Saipan, led to the battle of the Philippine Sea, which resulted in a crushing defeat for the Japanese by United States naval forces and the destruction of the effectiveness of the Japanese carrier-based airpower; (3) the recapture of Guam liberated one of the few pieces of United States territory that was occupied for two and one-half years by the enemy during World War II and restored freedom to the indigenous Chamorros on Guam who suffered as a result of the Japanese occupation; (4) Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard units distinguished themselves with their heroic bravery and sacrifice; (5) the Guam Insular Force Guard, the Guam militia, and the people of Guam earned the highest respect for their defense of the island during the Japanese invasion and their resistance during the occupation; their assistance to the American forces as scouts for the American invasion was invaluable; and their role, as members of the Guam Combat Patrol, was instrumental in seeking out the remaining Japanese forces and restoring peace to the island; (6) during the occupation, the people of Guam— (A) were forcibly removed from their homes; (B) were relocated to remote sections of the island; (C) were required to perform forced labor and faced other harsh treatment, injustices, and death; and (D) were placed in concentration camps when the American invasion became imminent and were brutalized by their occupiers when the liberation of Guam became apparent to the Japanese; 107 STAT. 2302 (7) the liberation of the Mariana Islands marked a pivotal point in the Pacific war and led to the American victories at Iwo Jima, Okinawa, the Philippines, Taiwan, and the south China coast, and ultimately against the Japanese home islands; (8) the Mariana Islands of Guam, Saipan, and Tinian provided, for the first time during the war, air bases which allowed land-based American bombers to reach strategic targets in Japan; and (9) the air offensive conducted from the Marianas against the Japanese war-making capability helped shorten the war and ultimately reduced the toll of lives to secure peace in the Pacific.
SEC. 2. SENSE OF CONGRESS. It is the sense of Congress that— (1) an appropriate commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Mariana campaign should be planned by the United States in conjunction with the Government of Guam and the Government of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands; (2) the Secretary of the Interior should take all necessary steps to ensure that appropriate visitor facilities at War in the Pacific National Historical Park on Guam are expeditiously developed and constructed; and (3) the Secretary of the Interior should take all necessary steps to ensure that the monument referenced in section 3(b) is completed before July 21, 1994, for the 50th anniversary commemoration, to provide adequate historical interpretation of the events described in section 1.
SEC. 3. WAR IN THE PACIFIC NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK. (a) Authorization of Appropriations.— Subsection (k) of section 6 of the Act entitled “An Act to authorize appropriations for certain insular areas of the United States, and for other purposes”, approved August 18, 1978 (92 Stat. 493; 16 U.S.C. 410dd) is amended by striking “$500,000” and inserting “$8,000,000”. (b) Development.— Section 6 is further amended by adding at the end the following subsections: “(l)

Monuments.

 Within the boundaries of the park, the Secretary is authorized to construct a monument which shall commemorate the loyalty of the people of Guam and the herosim of the American forces that liberated Guam. “(m) Within the boundaries of the park, the Secretary is authorized to implement programs to interpret experiences of the people of Guam during World War II, including, but not limited to, oral histories of those people of Guam who experienced the occupation. “(n)

Reports.

 Within six months after the date of enactment of this subsection, the Secretary, through the Director of the National Park Service, shall develop and transmit to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources of the House of Representatives a report containing updated cost estimates for the development of the park.

Regulations.

 Procedures.— Effective on the date of the enactment of the Copyright Royalty Tribunal Reform Act of 1993, the Librarian of Congress shall adopt the rules and regulations set forth in chapter 3 of title 37 of the Code of Federal Regulations to govern proceedings under this chapter. Such rules and regulations shall remain in effect unless and until the Librarian, upon the recommendation of the Register of Copyrights, adopts supplemental or superseding regulations under subchapter II of chapter 5 of title 5. “(e) Report to the Librarian of Congress.— Not later than 180 days after publication of the notice in the Federal Register initiating an arbitration proceeding, the copyright arbitration royalty panel conducting the proceeding shall report to the Librarian of Congress its determination concerning the royalty fee or distribution of royalty fees, as the case may be. Such report shall be accompanied by the written record, and shall set forth the facts that the arbitration panel found relevant to its determination. “(f) Action by Librarian of Congress.— Within 60 days after receiving the report of a copyright arbitration royalty panel under subsection (e), the Librarian of Congress, upon the recommendation of the Register of Copyrights, shall adopt or reject the determination of the arbitration panel. The Librarian shall adopt the determination of the arbitration panel unless the Librarian finds that the determination is arbitrary or contrary to the applicable provisions of this title.

under the preceding sentence). The Librarian shall also publicize such determination and decision in such other manner as the Librarian considers appropriate. The Librarian shall also make the report of the arbitration panel and the accompanying record available for public inspection and copying. “(g) Judicial Review.— Any decision of the Librarian of Congress under subsection (f) with respect to a determination of an arbitration panel may be appealed, by any aggrieved party who would be bound by the determination, to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, within 30 days after the publication of the decision in the Federal Register. If no appeal is brought within such 30-day period, the decision of the Librarian is final, and the royalty fee or determination with respect to the distribution of fees, as the case may be, shall take effect as set forth in the decision. The pendency of an appeal under this paragraph shall not relieve persons obligated to make royalty payments under sections 111, 115, 116, 118, 119, or 1003 who would be affected by the determination on appeal to deposit the statement of account and royalty fees specified in those sections. The court shall have jurisdiction to modify or vacate a decision of the Librarian only if it finds, on the basis of the record before the Librarian, that the Librarian acted in an arbitrary manner. If the court modifies the decision of the Librarian, the court shall have jurisdiction to enter its own determination with respect to the amount or distribution of royalty fees and costs, to order the repayment of any excess fees, and to order the payment of any 107 STAT. 2307underpaid fees, and the interest pertaining respectively thereto, in accordance with its final judgment. The court may further vacate the decision of the arbitration panel and remand the case to the Librarian for arbitration proceedings in accordance with subsection (c). “(h) Administrative Matters.— “(1) Deduction of costs from royalty fees.— The Librarian of Congress and the Register of Copyrights may, to the extent not otherwise provided under this title, deduct from royalty fees deposited or collected under this title the reasonable costs incurred by the Library of Congress and the Copyright Office under this chapter. Such deduction may be made before the fees are distributed to any copyright claimants. If no royalty pool exists from which their costs can be deducted, the Librarian of Congress and the Copyright Office may assess their reasonable costs directly to the parties to the most recent relevant arbitration proceeding. “(2) Positions required for administration of compulsory licensing.— Section 307 of the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act, 1994, shall not apply to employee positions in the Library of Congress that are required to be filled in order to carry out section 111, 115, 116, 118, or 119 or chapter 10.”.

 (a) In General.— (1) A State may have in effect procedures (established by State statute or regulation) that require qualified entities designated by the State to contact an authorized agency of the State to request a nationwide background check for the purpose of determining whether a provider has been convicted of a crime that bears upon an individual’s fitness to have responsibility for the safety and well-being of children. (2) The authorized agency shall access and review State and Federal criminal history records through the national criminal history background check system and shall make reasonable efforts to respond to the inquiry within 15 business days. (b) Guidelines.— The procedures established under subsection (a) shall require— (1) that no qualified entity may request a background check of a provider under subsection (a) unless the provider first provides a set of fingerprints and completes and signs a statement that— 107 STAT. 2492 (A) contains the name, address, and date of birth appearing on a valid identification document (as defined in section 1028 of title 18, United States Code) of the provider; (B) the provider has not been convicted of a crime and, if the provider has been convicted of a crime, contains a description of the crime and the particulars of the conviction; (C) notifies the provider that the entity may request a background check under subsection (a); (D) notifies the provider of the provider’s rights under paragraph (2); and (E) notifies the provider that prior to the completion of the background check the qualified entity may choose to deny the provider unsupervised access to a child to whom the qualified entity provides child care; (2) that each provider who is the subject of a background check is entitled— (A) to obtain a copy of any background check report; and (B) to challenge the accuracy and completeness of any information contained in any such report and obtain a prompt determination as to the validity of such challenge before a final determination is made by the authorized agency; (3) that an authorized agency, upon receipt of a background check report lacking disposition data, shall conduct research in whatever State and local recordkeeping systems are available in order to obtain complete data; (4) that the authorized agency shall make a determination whether the provider has been convicted of, or is under pending indictment for, a crime that bears upon an individual’s fitness to have responsibility for the safety and well-being of children and shall convey that determination to the qualified entity; and (5) that any background check under subsection (a) and the results thereof shall be handled in accordance with the requirements of Public Law 92–544. (c) Regulations.— (1) The Attorney General may by regulation prescribe such other measures as may be required to carry out the purposes of this Act, including measures relating to the security, confidentiality, accuracy, use, misuse, and dissemination of information, and audits and recordkeeping. (2) The Attorney General shall, to the maximum extent possible, encourage the use of the best technology available in conducting background checks. (d) Liability.— A qualified entity shall not be liable in an action for damages solely for failure to conduct a criminal background check on a provider, nor shall a State or political subdivision thereof nor any agency, officer or employee thereof, be liable in an action for damages for the failure of a qualified entity to take action adverse to a provider who was the subject of a background check. (e) Fees.— In the case of a background check pursuant to a State requirement adopted after the date of the enactment of this Act conducted with fingerprints on a person who volunteers with a qualified entity, the fees collected by authorized State agencies 107 STAT. 2493and the Federal Bureau of Investigation may not exceed the actual cost of the background check conducted with fingerprints. The States shall establish fee systems that insure that fees to non-profit entities for background checks do not discourage volunteers from participating in child care programs.

SEC. 12. ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES. (a) Purpose.— The Senate declares that it is essential to— (1) ensure compliance with the deficit reduction goals embodied in this resolution; (2) extend the system of discretionary spending limits set forth in section 601 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974; (3) extend the pay-as-you-go enforcement system; (4) prohibit the consideration of direct spending or receipts legislation that would decrease the pay-as-you-go surplus that the reconciliation bill pursuant to section 7 of this resolution will create under section 252 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985; (5) adopt as part of this concurrent resolution such of the enforcement procedures set forth in this subsection as this concurrent resolution may constitutionally include; and (6) enact, during this session of Congress, such of the enforcement procedures set forth in this subsection as only statute may constitutionally include. (b) Discretionary Spending Limits.— (1) Definition.— As used in this section, for the discretionary category, the term “discretionary spending limit” means— (A)

with respect to fiscal year 1996:

$519,142,000,000 in new budget authority and $547,263,000,000 in outlays;

 (B)

$530,639,000,000 in new budget authority and $547,870,000,000 in outlays;

 as adjusted for changes in concepts and definitions, changes in inflation, and emergency appropriations. (2) Point of order in the senate.— (A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), it shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 1995, 1996, 1997, or 1998 (or amendment, motion, or conference report on such a resolution) that would exceed any of the discretionary spending limits in this section. (B) This subsection shall not apply if a declaration of war by the Congress is in effect or if a joint resolution 107 STAT. 2534pursuant to section 258 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 has been enacted. (c) Enforcing Pay-As-You-Go.— At any time after the enactment of the reconciliation bill pursuant to section 7 of this resolution, it shall not be in order in the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report, that would increase the deficit in this resolution for any fiscal year through fiscal year 1998 or would increase the deficit for any other fiscal year through fiscal year 2003, as measured by the sum of— (1) all applicable estimates of direct spending and receipts legislation applicable to that fiscal year, other than any amounts resulting from— (A) full funding of, and continuation of, the deposit insurance guarantee commitment in effect on the date of enactment of the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990; and (B) emergency provisions as designated under section 252(e) of that Act; and (2) the estimated amount of savings in direct spending programs applicable to that fiscal year resulting from the prior year’s sequestration under that Act, if any (except for any amounts sequestered as a result of a net deficit increase in the fiscal year immediately preceding the prior fiscal year). (d) Waiver.— This section may be waived or suspended in the Senate only by the affirmative vote of three-fifths of the Members, duly chosen and sworn. (e) Appeals.— Appeals in the Senate from the decisions of the Chair relating to any provision of this section shall be limited to 1 hour, to be equally divided between, and controlled by, the appellant and the manager of the concurrent resolution, bill, or joint resolution, as the case may be.

(g) Exercise of Rulemaking Powers.— The Senate adopts the provisions of this section— (1) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate, and as such they shall be considered as part of the rules of the Senate, and such rules shall supersede other rules only to the extent that they are inconsistent therewith; and (2) with full recognition of the constitutional right of the Senate to change those rules (so far as they relate to the Senate) at any time, in the same manner, and to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of the Senate.
SEC. 13. SENSE OF THE SENATE PROVISIONS. The following subsections are set forth as the sense of the Senate: (a) Assumptions.— The levels and amounts set forth in this resolution are based on the following assumptions: (1) Revenues.— (A) There shall not be an increase in inland barge fuel taxes beyond those increases already scheduled in current law. 107 STAT. 2535 (B) The Finance Committee will make every effort to find alternative sources of revenues before imposing new taxes on the benefits of Social Security beneficiaries with threshold incomes (for purposes of the taxation of Social Security benefits) of less than $32,000 for individuals and $40,000 for married couples filing joint returns. (C) Consistent with the position of the Administration, the BTU tax will be imposed at the same rate on all fuels purchased by households for home heating purposes, and therefore the supplemental tax on oil will not be imposed on such fuels. (D) Any energy tax enacted during the One Hundred Third Congress should provide such relief to the agriculture industry as is necessary to ensure that the industry does not absorb a disproportionate impact of that tax. (2) National defense (function 050).— (A) If the estimates for inflation for fiscal years 1994 through 1998 used in the President’s fiscal year 1994 budget request and this concurrent resolution are too low, the amounts for budget authority and outlays for the National Defense (050) and other budget functions should be increased to offset the adverse effects of the higher inflation. (B) If Congress does not enact legislation freezing Federal pay levels for fiscal year 1994 and reducing the rates of increase in Federal pay levels for fiscal years 1995 through 1997, as assumed for the President’s fiscal year 1994 budget request and this concurrent resolution, there should be appropriate increases in the amounts of budget authority and outlays for the National Defense (050) and other budget functions in this concurrent resolution to allow the departments and agencies of the Federal Government to meet the resulting increases in costs for pay. (C) Appropriations for fiscal year 1994 for the programs, projects, activities, and authorities under budget functional category 050 (National Defense) should be made at the levels of budget authority and outlays that are provided for in this concurrent resolution for such functional category for such fiscal year. (D) If the appropriations for fiscal year 1994 for such programs, projects, activities, and authorities are less than the levels of budget authority and outlays that are provided for in this concurrent resolution for such functional category for such fiscal year, the savings resulting from the lesser levels of appropriations should be used only for reducing the deficit in the budget of the United States. (E) The Congress should promptly reconsider the amounts determined and declared by the Congress in this resolution to be the appropriate levels of new budget authority, outlays, new direct loan obligations, and new primary loan guarantee commitments for fiscal years 1994 through 1998 for the National Defense (050) functional category, in the event of material change in situations affecting the security interests of the United States. (3) General science, space, and technology (function 250).— The budget authority and outlay figures for function 250 in this resolution do not assume any amounts 107 STAT. 2536for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for any fiscal year from 1994 through 1998 in excess of the amounts proposed by the President for such fiscal year. (4) Natural resources and environment (function 300).— (A) Fees charged for domestic livestock grazing on lands under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior in western States should be set at an amount that permits the ranching industry to remain viable and reflects the economic realities of the industry, rather than at an amount that meets arbitrary revenue targets. (B) Royalty fees charged for hardrock mining should be set at an amount that permits the mining industry to remain viable in the United States and reflects the economic realities of the industry, rather than at an amount that meets arbitrary revenue targets. (5) Education, training, employment, and social services (function 500).— (A) The Head Start program will be funded at the level requested by the President for fiscal year 1998. (B) The education reform and initiatives will be funded at the level requested by the President for fiscal year 1998. (C) The defense conversion programs will be funded at the level requested by the President for fiscal year 1998. (6) Health (function 550).— (A) The Committee on Labor and Human Resources will make every effort to embark upon a sustained investment strategy in health research and development over the next 5 years and support for the continuum of medical research should be a central feature in any plan to reform the United States health care system. (B) The vast majority of rising mandatory program costs is due to increasing Federal health care costs, and these costs are assumed in the levels set forth in this resolution. (C) Health care reform is essential to curb the escalating costs of health entitlement programs to reduce the deficit. (D) The reduction in health costs in this budget resolution should be augmented by further savings in Federal health outlays as a part or comprehensive health care reform which will be reflected in future budget resolutions. (E) Comprehensive health reform will result in long term savings both for the public and private sectors of the American economy, and reduce the deficit levels set forth in this resolution at an ever increasing pace. (F) Health care reform legislation should receive priority attention by the United States Congress with a target date of enactment of such legislation being no later then September 30, 1993. (7) Income security (function 600).— The Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program will be funded at the level requested by the President for fiscal year 1998. 107 STAT. 2537 (8) Administration of justice (function 750).— (A) The Community Policing (“Cops on the Beat”) program will be funded at the level requested by the President for fiscal year 1998. (B) Funds to reduce the availability and use of illegal drugs will be shifted over the next 5 years so that the allocation shall be equally distributed between the so-called “supply side” (interdiction, law enforcement, and international supply reduction efforts) and the so-called “demand side” (education, rehabilitation, treatment, and research programs). (b) Debt Limit in Reconciliation.— (1) Any concurrent resolution on the budget that contains reconciliation directives shall include a directive with respect to the statutory limit on the public debt. (2) Any change in the statutory limit on the public debt that is recommended pursuant to a reconciliation directive shall be included in the reconciliation legislation reported pursuant to section 310 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 for that fiscal year. (3) Except as provided in paragraph (4), the Senate shall not consider any bill or joint resolution (or any amendment thereto or conference report thereon) that increases the statutory limit on the public debt during a fiscal year above the level set forth as appropriate for that fiscal year in the concurrent resolution on the budget for that fiscal year agreed to under section 301 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974. (4) The prohibition of paragraph (3) shall not apply to a reconciliation bill or reconciliation resolution reported pursuant to section 310(b) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 during any fiscal year (or any conference report thereon) that contains a provision that— (A) increases the statutory limit on the public debt pursuant to a directive of the type described in section 310(a)(3) of that Act; and (B) becomes effective on or after the first day of the following fiscal year. (c) Deficit Reduction Account.— It is assumed that the Committee on Finance of the Senate and the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives should report legislation to— (1) establish a separate account in the Treasury into which all of the amounts by which the aggregate levels of Federal revenue should be increased would be deposited; (2) ensure that any revenues deposited in such account would not be available for appropriation; and (3) provide that any such revenues deposited in such account would be used to retire outstanding debt obligations of the United States Government. (d) Line-Item Veto Authority Including Appropriations and Tax Expenditures.— The President should be granted line-item veto authority over items of appropriation and tax expenditures and that line-item veto authority should expire at the conclusion of the One Hundred Third Congress. (e) Use of Savings From Government Streamlining.— Any amounts saved through the efforts of the National Performance Review Task Force headed by the Vice President and as a result of any other reorganization and streamlining of 107 STAT. 2538the Federal Government should be applied to offset the cost of any economic stimulus package enacted in fiscal year 1993, and any amounts saved in excess of those necessary to offset the cost of any such economic stimulus should be applied to reduce the Federal budget deficit and for no other purpose.

[S. Con. Res. 47]

 Whereas the International Rescue Committee, which this year is marking the sixtieth anniversary of its founding, is a beacon of hope for the world’s refugees, displaced by war, civil insurrection, ethnic conflict, political and religious persecution and famine; Whereas in crisis after crisis—in Europe, Central America, Africa, and Asia—the field staff of the International Rescue Committee is often the first relief support on site to ease the suffering of refugees by stabilizing health conditions with critically needed sanitation, health care, and medical assistance; Whereas the programs of the International Rescue Committee are also concerned with improving the quality of life for refugees by preparing them for a productive future through educating children and building new skills among adults; Whereas often and whenever possible, programs implemented by the International Rescue Committee are ultimately turned over to the refugees themselves after they have been well trained by International Rescue Committee staff and volunteers; Whereas the International Rescue Committee was founded in 1933 as a nonsectarian response to the increasing horrors of Nazi Germany; Whereas as the need for humanitarian assistance expanded, so has the International Rescue Committee’s commitment to refugees; Whereas throughout the world, from Bosnia to Somalia, from Cambodia to El Salvador, the International Rescue Committee continues to aid refugees with medical assistance, shelter, food, and skills-training; Whereas the International Rescue Committee also helps in repatriation or resettlement to assist refugees in starting their life anew; Whereas in its sixty years of service, the International Rescue Committee has not only provided for victims of brutality and for those suffering from natural disasters with services essential for survival and the means to rebuild their lives, but also has given them reason to have renewed optimism in the compassion and goodwill of their fellow human beings; and Whereas October 15, 1993, the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the International Rescue Committee, is an appropriate day on which to give recognition to the International Rescue Committee for its great humanitarian endeavors: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
That on the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the International Rescue Committee, the Congress hereby recognizes the International Rescue Committee for its great humanitarian endeavors.

107 STAT. 2550 ATLANTIC BLUEFIN TUNA—CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT

Nov. 16, 1993

[H. Con. Res. 169]

 Whereas Atlantic bluefin tuna are a valuable commercial and recreational fishery of the United States; Whereas many countries, including the United States, fish for Atlantic bluefin tuna and other highly migratory species in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea; Whereas the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (hereinafter referred to as the “Commission”), is the international entity established to adopt recommendations and develop international agreements for the conservation and management of Atlantic bluefin tuna and other highly migratory species in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea; Whereas in the last 25 years Atlantic bluefin tuna stocks have declined from historic levels; Whereas, for management purposes, the Commission has adopted a working hypothesis of 2 stocks of Atlantic bluefin tuna: a western stock found in the Atlantic Ocean west of 45 degrees west longitude (hereinafter referred to as the “45 degree line”), and an eastern stock found in the Atlantic Ocean east of the 45 degree line and in the Mediterranean Sea; Whereas the existing scientific evidence is inconclusive with respect to the working hypothesis of 2 stocks, the extent to which each of the hypothesized stocks migrates across the 45 degree line is unknown, and the 45 degree line is considered to be arbitrary; Whereas the Commission adopted conservation and management recommendations in 1974 to ensure the recovery and sustainability of all Atlantic bluefin tuna throughout the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea; Whereas, in recent years, the Commission has adopted additional, more restrictive conservation and management recommendations for Atlantic bluefin tuna, for countries that fish for Atlantic bluefin tuna west of the 45 degree line; Whereas the United States and other countries that are members of the Commission and that fish west of the 45 degree line have implemented all conservation and management recommendations for Atlantic bluefin tuna adopted by the Commission that apply west of the 45 degree line; Whereas many other countries that are members of the Commission do not comply with conservation and management recommendations for Atlantic bluefin tuna adopted by the Commission that apply east of the 45 degree line and in the Mediterranean Sea; Whereas this continuing failure to comply east of the 45 degree line and in the Mediterranean Sea by countries that are members of the Commission will undermine the recovery of Atlantic bluefin tuna stocks; Whereas recent large increases in the catch of Atlantic bluefin tuna within 100 miles east of the 45 degree line by countries that are members of the Commission could be having a negative impact on the recovery of Atlantic bluefin tuna and probably do not comply with recommendations of the Commission; and Whereas countries that are not members of the Commission are having a negative impact on the recovery of Atlantic bluefin tuna stocks by fishing throughout the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea without regard for conservation and manage-107 STAT. 2551ment recommendations adopted by the Commission: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That it is the sense of the Congress that— (1) the United States and the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (hereinafter referred to as the “Commission”) should continue to promote the conservation and management of highly migratory species, including Atlantic bluefin tuna, throughout the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea; (2) the United States should obtain commitments through the Commission, from all countries that are signatories to the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas and that are not in compliance with all of the conservation and management recommendations and agreements for Atlantic bluefin tuna and other highly migratory species that have been adopted by the Commission, that those countries will immediately comply with those recommendations and agreements; (3) the United States should continue to encourage all other countries that fish for Atlantic bluefin tuna or other highly migratory species in the Atlantic Ocean or the Mediterranean Sea to comply with the conservation and management recommendations and agreements adopted for those species by the Commission; (4) if a country fishes in the Atlantic Ocean or the Mediterranean Sea for Atlantic bluefin tuna or another highly migratory species without complying with the conservation and management recommendations and agreements adopted by the Commission for that species, such fishing will be considered by the Congress to diminish the effectiveness of an international fishery conservation program, and as such will be considered by the Congress to be certifiable under section 8(aXl) of the Fishermen’s Protective Act of 1967 (22 U.S.C. 1978(aXl)); (5) the United States should encourage countries that have significant markets for Atlantic bluefin tuna to prohibit the importation of that species from other countries that fish for that species without regard for the conservation and management recommendations and agreements adopted by the Commission; (6) the United States should continue to explore, through the Commission, the appropriateness of working hypotheses of the Commission that stocks of highly migratory species in the Atlantic Ocean can be delineated by lines of latitude or longitude, including specifically that there are 2 stocks of Atlantic bluefin tuna delineated by the line 45 degrees west longitude; and (7) the United States should seek, through the Commission, an agreement to ensure that if the Commission uses any line to divide the stock of Atlantic bluefin tuna for management purposes and adopts for that stock any conservation and management recommendation or agreement for one side of the line that is more restrictive than the conservation and management recommendations and agreements adopted by the Commission for that stock for the other side of the line, then any fishing for Atlantic bluefin tuna within 10 degrees of the 107 STAT. 2552line shall be conducted in compliance with that more restrictive recommendation or agreement.

ANTI-BOYCOTT RESOLUTION OF 1993

Nov. 21, 1993

[S. Con. Res. 50]

 Whereas the signing on September 13, 1993, of the Declaration of Principles between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Government of Israel signals a new era of cooperation in the Middle East; Whereas a true peace in the Middle East can only be established and remain in effect if there is economic stability and cooperation in the region; Whereas adherence to the Arab League boycott of Israel is a source of economic instability in the Middle East; Whereas the members of the Arab League instituted a primary boycott against Israel in 1948; Whereas in the early 1950’s the Arab states instituted a secondary and tertiary boycott against United States and other firms because of their commercial ties to Israel; Whereas the boycott attempts to use economic blackmail to force United States firms to comply with boycott regulation; Whereas the boycott was cited by the United States Trade Representative in the 1992 National Trade Estimate Report on Foreign Trade Barriers as an “additional legal restraint to United States trade in the region”; Whereas hundreds of United States firms have been blacklisted and barred from doing business with members of the Arab League under the secondary and tertiary boycott; Whereas the total damage caused by the boycott is unknown because the number of United States firms that conduct business with Israel have not attempted commercial transactions with members of the Arab League; due to the boycott is uncertain; and Whereas the United States has a policy of prohibiting United States firms from providing Arab states with the requested information about compliance to boycott regulation: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This resolution may be cited as the “Anti-Boycott Resolution of 1993”.
SEC. 2. EXPRESSION OF CONGRESSIONAL VIEWS. The Congress— (1) believes the continuation of the Arab League boycott of Israel will be a severe impediment to the economic prosperity of all participating nations and to the establishment of a lasting peace and prosperity in the Middle East; (2) believes the secondary and tertiary boycott cause substantial economic losses to United States firms; 107 STAT. 2553 (3) welcomes the actions by those members of the Arab League that have begun dismantling the secondary and tertiary boycott, and urges them to continue their efforts until a complete dissolution of the primary, secondary, and tertiary boycott is achieved; (4) hopes that the indefinite postponement of the October 24, 1993, meeting of the Central Boycott Committee signals an end to the placement of more United States firms on the boycott list and a willingness to dismantle the boycott in its entirety; (5) urges those states that have begun to or are considering dismantling all forms of the boycott to proceed promptly with such dismantlement; (6) urges those states that are still enforcing the boycott to dismantle the boycott in all its forms and to issue the necessary laws, rules, and regulations to ensure that United States firms have free and open access to Arab markets regardless of their business relationships with Israel; (7) urges those states, in addition, to cease enforcing and requiring participation in the boycott in its primary, secondary, and tertiary forms; (8) urges the United States Government to continue to raise the boycott as an unfair trade practice in every appropriate international trade forum; and (9) expresses the sense of the Congress that the end of the Arab League boycott of Israel is of great urgency to the United States Government and will continue to be a priority issue in all bilateral relations with participating states until its complete dissolution.

 Whereas United Nations Resolution 45/164 of December 18, 1990, proclaimed the year 1993 as the International Year of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, in order to strengthen international cooperation for a solution to the problems faced by indigenous communities in areas such as human rights, the environment, development, education, and health; Whereas indigenous peoples are descendants of the original inhabitants of many countries with diverse cultures, religions, languages, and social and economic customs; Whereas an estimated 300 million indigenous peoples live in more than 70 countries, including the United States; Whereas indigenous peoples are often disadvantaged and face common difficulties in their homelands, including issues such as self-determination, the preservation of land and natural resources, the preservation of culture, arts, and language, and dismal social and economic conditions; Whereas many indigenous peoples continue to face discrimination and exploitation in their homelands;107 STAT. 2554 Whereas the rights and social and economic conditions of indigenous peoples have often been overlooked by individual nations and the international community; and Whereas the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous Populations has drafted a Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples: Now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
That it is the sense of the Congress that— (1) the United States should cooperate with the United Nations in its efforts to raise the level of public interest in and consciousness of the problems of indigenous peoples; (2) the United States should address the rights and improve the social and economic conditions of its own indigenous peoples, including Native American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, Chamorros, American Samoans, and Palauans; (3) the United States should support the United Nations in its efforts to establish international standards on the rights of indigenous peoples; and (4) the United States recognizes that the year 1993 is an insufficient time period for promoting public awareness of the plight of indigenous peoples and urges the United Nations to proclaim an International Decade of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.
Agreed to November 23, 1993.

PROCLAMATIONS 6491 October 14, 1992 To Suspend the Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931, Within a Limited Geographic Area in Response to the National Emergency Caused by Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2559 Proclamation 6491 of October 14, 1992
To Suspend the Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931, Within a Limited Geographic Area in Response to the National Emergency Caused by Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1.

Section 1 of the Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931 (46 Stat. 1494, as amended, 40 U.S.C. 276a(a)), provides:

… every contract in excess of 32,000 to which the United States or the District of Columbia is a party, for construction, alteration, and/or repair, including painting and decorating, of public buildings or public works of the United States or the District of Columbia within the geographical limits of the States of the Union or the District of Columbia, and which requires or involves the employment of mechanics and/or laborers shall contain a provision stating the minimum wages to be paid various classes of laborers and mechanics which shall be based upon the wages that will be determined by the Secretary of Labor to be prevailing for the corresponding classes of laborers and mechanics employed on projects of a character similar to the contract work in the city, town, village, or other civil subdivision of the State in which the work is to be performed, or in the District of Columbia if the work is to be performed there. …

 2. Under various other related acts, the payment of wages is made dependent upon determinations by the Secretary of Labor under the Davis-Bacon Act. 3. Section 6 of the Davis-Bacon Act, 40 U.S.C. 276a–5, provides that “In the event of a national emergency the President is authorized to suspend the provisions of sections 276a to 276a–5 of this title.” 4.

Within less than the period of a month, three vital areas of the Nation have been devastated by hurricanes. In late August, South Florida and sections of Louisiana experienced the full force of Hurricane Andrew, one of the severest hurricanes ever to strike the United States. The devastation that ensued resulted in the largest amount of property damage from a natural disaster in the history of the Nation. Tens of thousands of homes were destroyed, thousands of business establishments were badly damaged, and the public infrastructure of much of Dade County was severely damaged. Chi September 12, an equally ferocious hurricane struck the Hawaiian Islands. As a result of Hurricane Iniki, hundreds of homes were destroyed, the tourist industry on the island of Kauai was devastated, and much of the island’s infrastructure was severely damaged. The combined impact of these hurricanes has resulted in an unprecedented level of devastation.

The economic effects of the hurricanes have been equally devastating. Many businesses have been either destroyed or significantly damaged. Thousands of individuals have lost their jobs and livelihood. In addition, a record amount of Federal assistance will be needed to restore 107 STAT. 2560the communities that have been ravaged by these hurricanes. Accordingly, I find the conditions caused by Hurricanes Andrew and Iniki to constitute a “national emergency” within the meaning of section 6 of the Davis-Bacon Act.

 (a) The devastation caused by both hurricanes has resulted in more than $20 billion in property damage. (b) The Federal Government has provided over $10 billion in budgetary resources for disaster and related assistance to the people and the communities that were victimized by these hurricanes. (c) The wage rates imposed by the Davis-Bacon Act increase the cost to the Federal Government of providing Federal assistance to these areas. (d) Suspension of the Davis-Bacon Act, and the operation of related acts to the extent they depend upon the Secretary of Labor’s determinations under the Davis-Bacon Act, will result in greater assistance to these devastated communities and will permit the employment of thousands of additional individuals.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do by this proclamation suspend, as to all contracts entered into on or after the date of this proclamation and until otherwise provided, the provisions of the Davis-Bacon Act of March 3, 1931, as amended, and the provisions of all other acts providing for the payment of wages, which provisions are dependent upon determinations by the Secretary of Labor under the Davis-Bacon Act, as they apply to contracts to be performed in the following jurisdictions: the counties of Broward, Collier, Dade, and Monroe in the State of Florida; the parishes of Terrebonne, Lafourche, St. Martin, Assumption, Iberia, St. John the Baptist, Iberville, St. Mary, Ascension, East Baton Rouge, Lafayette, St. Charles, St. Tammany, West Baton Rouge, West Feliciana, East Feliciana, Point Coupee, Jefferson, Acadia, Avoyelles, Cameron, Jefferson Davis, Orleans, Plaquemines, St. James, St. Bernard, Vermillion, Allen, Calcasieu, Evangeline, Livingston, Rapides, St. Helena, St. Landry, Tangipahoa, and Washington in the State of Louisiana; and the islands of Oahu, Maui, Hawaii, Kauai, Lanai, and Kahoolawe in the State of Hawaii;

And, as to such contracts to be performed in such jurisdictions, I do hereby suspend, until otherwise provided, the provisions of any Executive order, proclamation, rule, regulation, or other directive providing for the payment of wages, which provisions are dependent upon determinations by the Secretary of Labor under the Davis-Bacon Act;

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6492 October 14, 1992 National Occupational Therapy Day, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2561 Proclamation 6492 of October 14, 1992
National Occupational Therapy Day, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Thanks to the nearly 46,000 occupational therapists and their assistants in the United States, millions of Americans with potentially disabling conditions are able to lead productive, fulfilling lives. On this occasion, we salute this dedicated group of health care professionals and acknowledge the importance of their work.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, each year practitioners of occupational therapy treat more than 7,500,000 children and adults whose lives have been disrupted by physical injury or illness, developmental problems, the aging process, or psychosocial difficulties such as substance abuse. Occupational therapists work in a variety of settings, including hospitals, schools, nursing facilities, rehabilitation and mental health centers, and community and migrant health clinics, as well as through independent practices and home health agencies. After Operation Desert Storm, occupational therapy practitioners joined in providing a wide range of rehabilitation services and programs for our veterans. Whatever the setting or individual need, occupational therapy practitioners are united by their commitment to high quality patient care.

Tracing its roots as far back as the 15th century, when physicians observed that patients who performed daily chores recovered much more quickly than their idle counterparts, occupational therapy has evolved into a multifaceted health care discipline. Today we salute the men and women who have chosen to serve their fellowman through this profession.

The Congress, by House joint Resolution 471, has designated October 14, 1992, as “National Occupational Therapy Day” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 14, 1992, as National Occupational Therapy Day. I invite all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6493 October 15, 1992 Polish-American Heritage Month, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2562 Proclamation 6493 of October 15, 1992
Polish-American Heritage Month, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The peoples of the United States and Poland enjoy a deep and abiding friendship that is rooted in centuries-old ties of kinship and culture— and in our common devotion to liberty and democratic government. Therefore, our entire Nation gladly joins with Americans of Polish descent in observing Polish-American Heritage Month.

For descendants of America’s first Polish settlers and for the many sons and daughters of Poland who have emigrated to the United States in this century, Polish-American Heritage Month is a time of rightful celebration and pride. It is a time to celebrate the magnificent land of which Adam Mickiewicz and other poets wrote, its “fields rich in varied flowers, silvered with wheat and gilded with rye.” It is also a time to celebrate Poland’s many contributions to the world, from the scientific genius of Copernicus to the consummate artistry of Paderewski and Chopin. Through individuals such as Maximilian Mary Kolbe and countless other martyrs who died in the name of freedom and of the Creator who has granted it to each of us, Poland has also given the world powerful examples of courage and faith.

It is such faith, courage, and devotion to liberty that have long fortified the cultural and familial ties that exist between the Polish and American peoples. Like colonists from other countries, the first Polish settlers in the United States braved a treacherous ocean journey in order to obtain freedom and opportunity in a new land. Recognizing the universal importance of our Nation’s struggle for independence, courageous Poles such as Tadeusz Kosciuszko and Casimir Pulaski later became heroes of our Revolutionary War. This month, we also remember the brave resistance to tyranny that Poles have demonstrated in this century, from the small garrison at Westerplatte to the Jewish ghettoes of Warsaw, from quiet places of prayer and worship to the busy docks of the Gdansk shipyards.

Despite generations of foreign domination and repressive rule, including invasion by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in 1939 and the declaration of martial law in 1981, Poles never surrendered their hopes of freedom and self-determination. Those hopes were expressed clearly in the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791, the second written national constitution in history after our own and one that has remained a prized symbol of Polish patriotism and resolve.

Today the people of Poland are forging a bright future under a new constitution and government, and we Americans are proud to support their efforts to establish enduring democratic institutions and a thriving, market-oriented economy. Beginning in 1989, the United States worked with Poland and other nations to establish a $1 billion program for the stabilization of Polish currency. We have also been working together through the Polish-American Enterprise Fund to encourage private sector development in Poland through investment, loans, technical assistance, and other means. In addition, it is my goal to establish stronger commercial ties with Poland by proposing a free trade agreement that would be part of a strategic network of free trade agreements 107 STAT. 2563throughout the world. These ties will promote economic growth and jobs in both of our countries.

The special relationship that exists between the United States and Poland promises to be one of continued cooperation and friendship, and as we once again observe Polish-American Heritage Month, we look forward to many more occasions for celebration in the future.

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 305, has designated October 1992 as “Polish-American Heritage Month” and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this month.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 1992 as Polish-American Heritage Month. I encourage all Americans to join in observance of this month.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6494 October 16, 1992 Country Music Month, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6494 of October 16, 1992
Country Music Month, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

While our flag is the greatest tangible symbol of the United States— one recognized and admired around the world—country and western music might well be described as America’s signature in song.

With nothing fancy, yet with every bit of pride befitting a great land such as ours, country and western music celebrates the things that our Nation has always valued most: faith, family, and freedom. It is the sound of hardworking, God-fearing men and women who cherish home and country and who would never turn their backs on a true friend. It is also the sound of a people who know how to kick up their feet and enjoy some good-natured fun and relaxation at the end of an honest day’s labor.

While country music celebrates all the good things in life, it does not overlook life’s various disappointments and struggles. A frequent listener is just as likely to be reminded of broken hearts and heroes lost in battle as the beauty of clear blue sky or the laughter of friends and loved ones. From the sad strains of a traditional ballad to the stirring sound of bluegrass and honky-tonk, country music is honest, straight-forward music that recalls the full range of human experience. Such sincerity and scope may well be the reason why “America’s music” is so very popular among millions of people around the globe.

This month we tip our hats to the many talented composers, lyricists, and performers who bring country and western music to our ears. These artists carry on a great tradition of musical achievement, and we are very proud of their outstanding work. Like countless other prod-107 STAT. 2564ucts “Made in the U.S.A,” country music reflects the best in American creativity and craftsmanship.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 520, has designated October 1992 as “Country Music Month” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this month.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 1992 as Country Music Month. I invite all Americans to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6495 October 18, 1992 National Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6495 of October 18, 1992
National Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

This week we pause to reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to the fight against neurofibromatosis, a common genetic disorder that affects the nervous systems of more than 100,000 Americans.

Neurofibromatosis appears in two forms. In the more prevalent form, NF1, masses of tissue grow along nerve pathways beneath the skin or deeper in the body. While most individuals with NF1 experience mild symptoms and few adverse effects on their ability to lead normal lives, some persons with the disorder can be severely disfigured by facial or bodily tumors that may also press against vital organs, causing serious complications such as blindness or loss of limbs. In the disorder’s other form, NF2, tumors grow along the nerves responsible for hearing and balance. These tumors, although they are nonmalignant, often result in hearing loss. Both forms of neurofibromatosis are complex and unpredictable, and there is no way to foretell the eventual severity of individual cases.

While many questions about neurofibromatosis remain unanswered, scientists do know that the disorder is caused by a defective gene that changes the way in which normal cells develop and function. Children of a parent who has the defective gene have a 50 percent chance of being born with neurofibromatosis. Spontaneous genetic mutations can also cause NF to appear in a person who has no family history of the disorder. Neurofibromatosis can strike any American, regardless of gender, race, or ethnic background.

Although no cure or means of preventing neurofibromatosis currently exists, recent advances in biomedical research offer encouragement to many people with the disorder. The refinement of diagnostic technologies such as magnetic resonance imaging have enabled physicians to isolate tiny tumors that might otherwise go undetected, thereby helping doctors to identify and track progression of the disease. In July 107 STAT. 25651990, scientists located the gene associated with NF1 and have been working since to decipher its faulty message—a task that is crucial to finding a cure. Similarly, scientists are drawing closer to locating the gene associated with NF2 and, with each step, hope to design better detection and treatment strategies. Investigators are also exploring the possibility that the genes responsible for neurofibromatosis may play an important role in several common forms of cancer, and scientists hope to study the anatomical and biological characteristics of the disease in a newly identified animal model.

The biomedical research community has taken significant strides toward solving the mystery of neurofibromatosis, and the 1990s, which I have proclaimed as the “Decade of the Brain,” hold the promise of even greater advances in the near future. Achieving them is a goal shared by private voluntary health organizations such as the National Neurofibromatosis Foundation and Neurofibromatosis, Incorporated, and by the Federal Government’s National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, as well as other components of the National Institutes of Health, including the National Cancer Institute and the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders.

In order to enhance public awareness of neurofibromatosis, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 422, has designated the month of November 1992 as “National Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this month.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH. President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 1992 as National Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month. I invite all Americans to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6496 October 20, 1992 National Forest Products Week, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6496 of October 20, 1992
National Forest Products Week, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

From our magnificent National Forests, which cover some 212 million acres of land in the United States, to our thriving State and local parks, industrial timberlands, and privately owned woodlots, America’s forests constitute one of this country’s greatest treasures. All Americans share a responsibility to protect our Nation’s forests, and during National Forest Products Week, we renew our commitment to responsible management of these precious tracts of land.

As a vital part of our planet’s ecosystem, our forests provide food and habitat for a wide range of plants and animals. These rich tracts of land also provide essential raw materials for building and other uses, and 107 STAT. 2566hundreds of thousands of Americans depend on them for their livelihood. Countless other citizens enjoy our forests as a beautiful setting for family camp-outs and other forms of recreation, which encourage children and adults alike to appreciate more fully the importance of conservation.

Today the United States boasts a strong and growing tradition of forest conservation. Annual forest growth now exceeds timber harvests by more than 35 percent, and the total national volume of wood is 25 percent larger than it was in 1952. Yet, recognizing continued challenges to forest preservation—from disease and drought to wildfires, which destroyed almost 2 million acres of forest and rangeland this summer alone—we are working hard to promote environmental stewardship in both the public and private sectors.

The major Federal forest management agencies have adopted an “ecosystem approach” to conservation, and by law our National Forests must now be managed on a sustained yield basis. As part of our Forests for the Future Initiative, the United States Government is also helping to lead the way toward a twofold increase in worldwide forest conservation assistance, as a first step toward halting the net loss of forests over the next decade. Here at home, millions of volunteers are working together with private organizations and with State and local agencies in support of our America the Beautiful Initiative, our ambitious program to plant 1 billion new trees in urban and rural areas each year.

The benefits that we derive from our forests are as varied as the species of trees and wildlife that they contain. As demand for traditional forest commodities continues, and as we continue to develop new products and uses each year, it is imperative that we join together in promoting sustainable use and conservation of our forests and timberlands.

The Congress, by Public Law 86–753 (36 U.S.C. 162), designated the week beginning on the third Sunday in October of each year as “National Forest Products Week” and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 18, 1992, as National Forest Products Week. I encourage all Americans to observe that week with appropriate programs and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6497 October 23, 1992 National Red Ribbon Week for a Drug-Free America, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2567 Proclamation 6497 of October 23, 1992
National Red Ribbon Week for a Drug-Free America, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Through the comprehensive National Drug Control Strategy that we launched in 1989 and through the outstanding cooperation of Americans from all walks of life, the United States has made encouraging progress in the fight against illicit drugs. Nearly 9 out of 10 major American corporations have developed drug prevention programs for the workplace, and hundreds of communities have formed strong, grass-roots coalitions that are helping to get drug dealers off the streets while educating young people about the importance of leading healthy, drug-free life-styles. Together, Americans of all ages are saying an emphatic “No!” to drugs and to their devastating consequences—crime, violence, unemployment, poverty, broken homes, and abandoned dreams.

Further progress in the fight against drugs is essential, and it will continue to require the strong personal commitment of each and every American. By working together, we can eliminate the “drug culture” that has infested too many of our communities, breeding a climate of. fear and intimidation that is depriving millions of Americans of their freedom to live in peace and security.

National Red Ribbon Week for a Drug-Free America provides an opportunity for all Americans to express their commitment to the fight against drugs by wearing or displaying a red ribbon. This simple yet highly visible symbol identifies the wearer as part of a nationwide movement that is determined to uphold the right of every American to live and work in a drug-free community, to learn in a drug-free school, and to travel on drug-free streets and highways.

The National Federation of Parents for Drug-Free Youth, along with many other parents’ associations, educators, law enforcement officials, and other concerned Americans, is leading this campaign to rally our communities and to protect our children from the deadly trap of dependency on drugs and alcohol. In keeping with its goal of enhancing public awareness, the Federation has selected the theme, “Neighbors— Drug Free and Proud.” Barbara and I are pleased to serve as Honorary Chairmen of the National Red Ribbon Campaign and urge our fellow Americans to join in cooperating with the many courageous law enforcement officers, parents, educators, and other dedicated individuals who are working so hard to stop the scourge of drugs.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 467, has designated the week beginning October 24, 1992, as “National Red Ribbon Week for a Drug-Free America” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 24, 1992, as National Red Ribbon Week for a Drug-Free America. I urge every American to observe this week by wearing or displaying the red ribbon as a sign of his or her commitment to a healthy, drug-free life-style. 107 STAT. 2568I also encourage all Americans to support community substance abuse prevention programs and other lifesaving anti-drug efforts throughout the year.

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

6498 October 24, 1992 United Nations Day, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6498 of October 24, 1992
United Nations Day, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

As stated in its Charter, the purposes of the United Nations are “to maintain international peace and security … to develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principles of equal rights and self-determination of peoples … [and] to achieve international cooperation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character.” Signatories to the U.N. Charter also agreed to work together “in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion.” During the past year, the United Nations has taken strides in promoting all of these goals.

In the post-Cold War era, former rivals are working together under the U.N. Charter toward a better future for all mankind. The U.N. Security Council has demonstrated increasing effectiveness in matters of peace and security, and U.N. peacekeepers serve proudly in every part of the world to bring about transitions to peace. Following up on the report of U.N. Secretary General Boutros-Ghali, “An Agenda for Peace,” the United States has proposed ways in which we and others can enhance U.N. peacekeeping and humanitarian relief capabilities, beginning with conflict prevention.

While we celebrate recent democratic reforms around the world, we deplore the violent resurgence of ethnic hatred and aggressive nationalism in some regions. Through the U.N. Security Council and U.N. agencies such as the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the United States and other nations are working hard to bring desperately needed aid to victims of the tragic strife in Bosnia and the horrifying situation in Somalia. We salute the courageous U.N. personnel who have put themselves in harm’s way in these and other troubled regions, and we honor the memory of those who have died in the line of duty.

In addition to humanitarian and peacekeeping efforts, the United Nations will continue to play a vital role in stemming the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Since the successful international effort to liberate Kuwait, the U.N. Security Council has continued to promote stability in the Middle East by working to dismantle Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction through the unprecedented work of the U.N. Special Commission (UNSCOM). The United States also notes the im-107 STAT. 2569pressive efforts of the International Atomic Energy Agency toward non-proliferation enforcement.

The United Nations was created not only “to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war” but also “to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.” The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, which are an integral part of the U.N. family of organizations, are playing an instrumental role in efforts to raise standards of living through development, investment, and the adoption of market-oriented economic and financial policies. Other specialized agencies of the United Nations are working to promote better standards of life by promoting development, helping children, fighting the spread of AIDS and other devastating diseases, coordinating efforts to stop drug trafficking, and encouraging international cooperation on the environment. Recently the United States was proud to become the first industrialized nation to ratify the United Nations Framework Convention on Global Climate Change, which was signed in Rio de Janeiro in June.

As we continue to seek the goals set forth in the U.N. Charter, we must keep in mind that member nations are the United Nations. Our continued cooperation is vital, because as members of this body affirmed when they adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, “recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and unalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 24, 1992, as United Nations Day. I invite all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs and activities.

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

Refugee Day, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The United States has long welcomed to its shores refugees from oppression and persecution—generations of whom have built new lives for themselves in this country and, in so doing, contributed to its cultural and economic development. Early immigrants to America sought sanctuary from tyranny and persecution, and our first President, George Washington, exhorted that the United States should ever be “an asylum to the oppressed and needy of the earth.” The origins of this great land as a place of refuge and our rich heritage as a nation of immigrants give Americans a special understanding of, and sympathy for, the plight of some 17 million refugees worldwide today.

In addition to opening its doors to tens of thousands of refugees each year, the United States is working to overcome the conditions that force large numbers of people to flee their homelands. Through a wide range of public and private organizations, we have been promoting education, disease prevention, and sustainable economic development in countries beset by illiteracy and poverty. Because millions of refugees have been driven from their homes by the scourge of political repression and war, we have placed a high priority on working to promote freedom and democracy, which are the only sure foundation for lasting peace and progress.

With the collapse of imperial communism and with the emergence of democratic nations around the globe, more of our fellow human beings are living in freedom than at any other time in history. This trend has had a positive impact on a number of serious, long-standing refugee situations throughout the world, such as those in Central America, Cambodia, and Afghanistan.

However, while these developments are encouraging, we know that in some regions of the world, the plight of refugees continues to demand our urgent attention. Nowhere are conditions more deplorable today than in the Hom of Africa and the former Yugoslavia.

The United States serves as an international leader in efforts to meet the challenges of current refugee crises. We will continue to fulfill our fundamental responsibilities to help refugees, and we will continue to urge our allies and all governments to remain firmly committed to protecting refugees and to contributing toward international relief efforts. The United States remains steadfast in its support of the efforts of the United Nations to develop effective worldwide programs to alleviate human suffering. Because the suffering of refugees is most often the result of systematic government repression and violent unrest in some regions of the world, we will also continue to champion respect for human rights, the peaceful resolution of conflicts, and the principles of national sovereignty and liberty under law.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 30, 1992, as Refugee Day. I urge all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs and activities, including efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to refugees and to promote freedom and peace among all peoples.

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

National Medical Staff Services Awareness Week, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The professionals who direct or manage medical staff services, from hospital communications to the accreditation of physicians and nurses, play an important role in our Nation’s health care system. In addition to serving in hospitals and other primary care facilities, these professionals also work in health maintenance organizations, medical societies, State licensing boards, and consulting firms. By administering rules and regulations, by ensuring accreditation compliance, and by providing a wide range of support to physicians, medical staff coordinators help to promote the quality and efficiency of health care.

Today many medical staff services professionals are striving to promote efficiency and professionalism in health care by working through the legal, financial, and regulatory requirements that have increased along with new challenges and opportunities in the health care industry. This week, we acknowledge the value of such efforts.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 399, has designated the week of November 1 through November 7, 1992, as “National Medical Staff Services Awareness Week” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of November 1 through November 7, 1992, as National Medical Staff Services Awareness Week. I invite all Americans to observe this week with appropriate programs and activities.

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

World Population Awareness Week, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In the post-Cold War world, one of the key issues that must be addressed is population growth and its impact on resources, environment, and development. Recognizing that population goals and policies should be part of more comprehensive efforts to improve the standards of living of all peoples, to promote social and economic development, human rights, and individual freedom, we focus this week on the links between economic development, environmental degradation, and demographic trends among the world’s population.

107 STAT. 2572

As the G–7 leaders stated during the 1990 Houston Economic Summit, “sustainable development requires that population growth remain in some reasonable balance with expanding resources.” Supporting the efforts of developing countries to maintain this balance is a priority.

As part of a comprehensive economic development assistance program, the United States continues to take a strong position in the global community to address, cooperatively and effectively, issues of poverty, illiteracy, population pressures, environmental degradation, and human health. Recognizing the sovereign right of each nation to respond to its specific needs, and respecting the fundamental rights and cultural and religious beliefs of parents, the United States supplies nearly half of all international assistance provided to support safe, effective, and voluntary family planning programs. In light of worldwide demand for such assistance, we now look to each nation to do its fair share in aiding voluntary population programs, not as ends in themselves, but as measures in support of sustainable development.

Massive urban migration poses a special challenge to the international community today, as urbanization leads to increased demands for infrastructure and services while exacerbating problems such as crime, inadequate health care and pollution. Ensuring environmental sustainability and slowing population growth where it threatens the economic progress that all of us seek are among the commitments that the United States has made together with other members of the international community.

Sustainability is impossible, however, without a healthy, well-educated population—hence the United States supports programs to improve maternal and child health; to expand education, skills training, and disease prevention; to integrate women more fully into the political and economic life of nations; and to target the specific health problems of the poor, which are often aggravated by conditions such as poor sanitation and lack of safe drinking water.

By promoting literacy and good health among individuals, by fostering the strength and stability of families, and by affirming the right of all human beings to live and work in freedom and security, we will continue to promote the health, stability, and progress of their communities and nations.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 458, has designated the week beginning October 25, 1992, as “World Population Awareness Week” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 25, 1992, as World Population Awareness Week. I invite all Americans to observe this week with appropriate programs and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety- two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

Hire a Veteran Week, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Less than 2 years ago, Americans watched proudly as our Nation’s military personnel led the international effort to liberate Kuwait from brutal occupation by Iraqi forces under the command of Saddam Hussein. From the deployment of nearly half a million active-duty personnel and reservists to the precise aerial bombing and final ground assault against entrenched enemy forces, our Nation’s service men and women demonstrated the tremendous courage, professionalism, and skill that we have come to expect of our United States Armed Forces. Now, as we prepare to celebrate Veterans Day, our annual tribute to all those who have served our country in uniform, it is fitting that we recognize the valuable knowledge, experience, and training that our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and Coast Guardsmen have to offer when they reenter civilian life.

Through their outstanding achievements in the Persian Gulf region and elsewhere, America’s veterans have helped to change the world. In the past few years, we have seen the collapse of the Berlin Wall, the disintegration of the Warsaw Pact, and the dissolution of the Soviet Union itself—each a resounding vindication of democratic ideals and a clear victory for the Americans who defended the cause of freedom around the globe.

Now that they have helped to change the world, America’s veterans can play an important role in achieving continued prosperity and progress here at home. As we restructure our national defense forces in light of new international security requirements, we can ensure that the United States continues to benefit from the knowledge and expertise of its veterans by encouraging their full participation in the civilian work force.

Like every nation, the United States is challenged today by a global economic transition. Because Americans who have served in the military have the discipline, motivation, and skills—including the highly technical skills—that are essential to keeping American business and industry competitive, we do well to recognize the importance of recruiting and hiring veterans.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 542, has designated the week of November 8 through November 14, 1992, as “Hire a Veteran Week” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of November 8 through November 14, 1992, as Hire a Veteran Week. I encourage all Americans— in particular, employers, labor leaders, and public officials—to support the campaign to employ men and women who served our country in the Armed Forces.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-107 STAT. 2574two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

National Women Veterans Recognition Week, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

More than one million American women are veterans of our Armed Forces, and as we celebrate the end of the Cold War and the promise of increasing cooperation and peace in the world, it is fitting that we offer a special salute to each of them. In peacetime and in time of peril, and in a variety of demanding roles, women service members have demonstrated great skill, sacrifice, and devotion to freedom.

Although World War n marked the first, large-scale entry of women into the Armed Forces, it was not the first conflict to test the courage and patriotism of American women. As early as our Nation’s War for Independence, the contributions of women proved to be essential to the preservation of liberty. Women served as suppliers, scouts, and nurses for the Continental Army, and later, when our Nation faced a bitter war between the States, women again answered the call to duty. The extraordinary efforts of hundreds of women nurses during the Spanish-American War led to the establishment of the Army Nurse Corps in the early years of this century, and by World War I, the Navy and Coast Guard were also enlisting women.

Women achieved full military status during World War n, and tens of thousands served with distinction as members of the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WACS), Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service (WAVES), and the Women Airforce Service Pilots. This week we remember, especially, those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

Shortly after World War n, the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act authorized permanent status for women in the military, and since that time, women have continued to amass an impressive record of service and sacrifice. In Korea, Vietnam, Panama, and the Persian Gulf, America’s service women have excelled as active duty and Reserve members of our Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.

As we salute women veterans for their contributions to our national security and to the defense of freedom around the globe, we also recognize their continuing contributions in civilian life. In keeping with the highest traditions of generations of former military personnel, many women veterans are actively engaged in efforts to improve their communities and to promote a strong America.

The Congress, by Public Law 102–517, has designated the week of November 8 through November 14, 1992, as “National Women Veterans Recognition Week” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

107 STAT. 2575

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of November 8 through November 14, 1992, as National Women Veterans Recognition Week. I urge all Americans to observe this week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

SPAR Anniversary Week, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

During World War II, recognizing the military’s urgent need for personnel and both the ability and the desire of women to contribute to the total Allied effort, the United States Congress passed legislation establishing the Coast Guard Women’s Reserve. The Coast Guard Women’s Reserve was created as a sister service to the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WACS), Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Service (WAVES) in the Naval Reserve, and Women Marines.

The first director of the Coast Guard Women’s Reserve, Captain Dorothy C. Stratton, coined its acronym, SPAR, from the Latin and English translations of the Coast Guard motto, Semper Paratus! (Always Ready!). Women from throughout the United States and from all walks of life were recruited as SPARS, becoming the first women to be trained at a United States service academy, the United States Coast Guard Academy. Throughout the course of the war, they performed admirably as executive officers, division heads, watch officers, cox-swains, gunner’s mates, and machinist’s mates—to name but a few of their important roles.

Following World War II, SPARS were integrated into the Organized Reserve Training Program. Many served with distinction in highly specialized jobs during the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, and today, a half-century after the founding of the Women’s Reserve, Coast Guard women serve in all phases of Coast Guard operations. We note with special admiration and pride the contributions of Coast Guard women during Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm.

In honor of the dedicated service of women in the United States Coast Guard, the Congress, by H.R. 5617, has designated the week of November 17 through November 23, 1992, as “SPAR Anniversary Week” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of November 17 through November 23, 1992, as SPAR Anniversary Week. I encourage the Governors of the States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and officials 107 STAT. 2576of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to provide for the observance of this week. I also invite all Americans to utilize this opportunity to learn more about the history and continuing contributions of women in the United States Coast Guard.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

National Military Families Recognition Day, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The strength of the American family is the strength of America itself, for the family is the primary institution to shape our citizens and leaders and to ensure that our most cherished ideals are passed from one generation to the next. On this occasion we offer a special salute to America’s military families, who provide so much love and support to our courageous men and women in uniform. The patriotism and sacrifices of these families have uniquely fortified our Nation’s military and, in so doing, helped the United States to remain the freest, strongest, and most prosperous country in the world.

While America’s military families trace their roots to a variety of cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, they share a profound sense of duty and an equally strong love of country. These families are also united by the singular challenges of military life, from frequent relocations to long periods of separation and worry. By standing steadfast in support of their members in uniform and of each other, military families provide inspiring examples of generosity, courage, and pride. Who can forget the tremendous public show of support for our troops as they fought to liberate Kuwait and to turn back aggression in the Persian Gulf—support led by the spouses, children, parents, grandparents, and siblings of our active duty and Reserve forces.

This year has seen new challenges for our service members and their families as many American military personnel have deployed around the globe in support of urgent humanitarian missions and long-standing defense interests. The end of the Cold War has also presented challenges as we work to restructure our defense forces and to maintain an efficient, mobile, and effective military capacity. Yet, just as they have met every challenge in the past, America’s military families continue to face these and other developments with resourcefulness, resilience, and pride. Each of them deserves our admiration and support.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 503, has designated November 23, 1992, as “National Military Families Recognition Day” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

107 STAT. 2577

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 23, 1992, as National Military Families Recognition Day. I urge all Americans to join in honoring United States military families around the world, who do so much in support of the men and women who defend our freedom and security, I also call on Federal, State, and local government officials and private organizations to observe this day with appropriate programs and activities.

Vietnam Veterans Memorial 10th Anniversary Day, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The more than 3,000,000 Americans who served our country during the war in Southeast Asia between 1960 and 1975 deserve, like all of our veterans, the lasting respect and gratitude of the Nation. From hundreds of nameless rice paddies and jungles to places such as Dak To, A Shau Valley, and Khe Sanh, these individuals and their fallen comrades endured extraordinary hardships and sacrifices in the effort to thwart communist expansionism in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Theirs was a long, grueling struggle for freedom and international security, and however history may judge its execution and outcome, these individuals deserve a hero’s recognition and thanks. Hence, we pause on this 10th anniversary of the Nation’s Vietnam Veterans Memorial to offer a heartfelt salute to each of them.

While we usually think of walls as forms of division—“something there is that doesn’t love a wall,” wrote Robert Frost—the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is one such structure that has fostered unity and healing among millions of Americans. In the decade since its construction and dedication, which were made possible entirely by private contributions, our Nation has come to peace with itself; and today we join together in honoring the more than 58,000 Americans whose names are inscribed on “the Wall.” We remember their names because we cherished them as individuals—as sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, spouses, neighbors, and friends. We remember their names because each of them taught us important lessons about duty, courage, and love of country.

The lessons of the Vietnam War have, I believe, made the United States a better Nation, a stronger Nation. Just 2 years ago, when United States forces were called on to help liberate a small, defenseless country from the occupation of a ruthless dictator, the American people rallied behind our troops in a display of unity and resolve not seen since the days of World War n. The triumphant homecoming of our Persian Gulf veterans was, in many ways, a second homecoming for our Vietnam 107 STAT. 2578veterans, as hundreds of communities also offered a special salute to those who were all too often denied a hero’s welcome some 25 years ago.

Today, as they commemorate the 10th anniversary of our Nation’s memorial to their fallen comrades, Vietnam veterans stand proud—and rightfully so. Let all of us join them in remembering those of their comrades who never made it home—those who fell in the line of duty and those who are still missing. The United States has never forgotten our POWs/MIAs, and we remain fully committed to obtaining the fullest possible accounting for each of them. On this occasion we offer a special salute to their brave families, who have kept faith with America’s missing service members and civilians and, in so doing, reminded us of the tremendous debt that we owe to our Vietnam veterans.

In honor of the Americans who served in Indochina and in grateful tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of liberty, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 318, has designated November 13, 1992, as “Vietnam Veterans Memorial 10th Anniversary Day” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby urge all Americans to join in observing November 13, 1992, as a special day in honor of our Nation’s Vietnam veterans and their fallen comrades.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

National Adoption Week, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

During this week that includes our traditional observance of Thanksgiving, Americans will pause in prayer to thank Almighty God for their many blessings—in particular, for the gifts of life, home, and family. At a time when many of us enjoy being reunited with relatives and friends, it is fitting that we also remember the more than 40,000 children in the United States who long for loving, permanent homes and families of their own. These are children who wait to be adopted.

More than 50,000 children in the United States are adopted each year, and as any adult who has been blessed with an adopted child or grandchild well knows, these youngsters are as eager to give love and affection as they are to receive them. Yet, while adoption benefits everyone involved—including the biological mother who, for whatever reason, cannot care for her child and offers him a chance at life in a secure, loving environment—thousands of other children continue to wait. Among those who wait are children with special needs: older children. 107 STAT. 2579children with disabilities, members of minority groups, and children with siblings who must be adopted by the same family.

Early on in the Administration, I was pleased to propose legislation designed to encourage “special needs” adoption. Since that time, the Federal Government has continued to play a leading role in overcoming legal, financial, and attitudinal barriers to adoption. This week we salute the many dedicated men and women across America who make adoption work: concerned parents, social services professionals and counselors, State officials, attorneys, members of the clergy, and others. Recognizing that adoption is a tremendous act of courage and generosity under any circumstances, we salute especially each of the brave women who, when faced with a crisis pregnancy, chooses life for her unborn child and offers that child a chance to grow up in a stable, loving home.

As an unselfish, life-affirming, and lifelong commitment, adoption is rooted in the virtues that define and strengthen a family and that, in turn, enrich the lives of individuals and the communities in which they live. This week, let us acknowledge the importance of stable, loving families to children and to our Nation, and let us renew our support for adoption.

The Congress, by Public Law 102–174, has designated the week of November 22 through November 28, 1992, as “National Adoption Week” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of November 22 through November 28, 1992, as National Adoption Week. I urge all Americans to observe this week with appropriate programs and activities.

Thanksgiving Day, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

At no time of year are Americans more mindful of our heritage as one Nation under God than at Thanksgiving—a day when people of every race, creed, and walk of life join in celebrating the many blessings that we have received as individuals and as a Nation. Thanksgiving is among the happiest of days because it fills our hearts with appreciation for the things that matter most: the goodness of our Creator, the love of family and friends, and, of course, the gift of life itself. In addition to giving thanks for our individual blessings, we Americans also join on this occasion in celebrating our shared legacy of freedom.

107 STAT. 2580

Since the earliest days of our Republic, Americans have been deeply aware of our indebtedness to the Almighty and our obligations as a people He has blessed. Even in the course of long, difficult journeys to these shores, our ancestors gratefully acknowledged the sustaining power of God—and the faithfulness they owed in return. Recognizing their quest for freedom as an enterprise no less historic than the ancient Israelites’ exodus from Egypt, John Winthrop reminded his fellow pilgrims in 1630:

Now if the Lord shall please to hear us, and bring us in peace to the place that we desire, then hath He ratified this covenant and sealed our commission, [and] will expect a strict performance of the articles contained in it … to do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with our God.

By remaining grateful for, and faithful to, that divine commission, America has become a model of freedom and justice to the world—as our pilgrim ancestors envisioned, a shining “city upon a hill.”

Ever grateful for our freedom and security, we Americans have worked to share these blessings with others, and today we rejoice in the fact that the seeds of democratic thought sown on these shores more than 300 years ago continue to blossom around the globe. Yet, even as we give thanks for the demise of imperial communism and for the current harvest of liberty throughout the world, like our ancestors we also recall our duties as stewards of this great and blessed land. As General Dwight Eisenhower said during World War II:

The winning of freedom is not to be compared to the winning of a game, with the victory recorded forever in history. Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirits of men, and so it must be daily earned and refreshed—else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.

The liberty that we enjoy today is clearly rooted in our Nation’s Judeo-Christian moral heritage and in the timeless values that have united Americans of all religions and all walks of life: love of God and family, personal responsibility and virtue, respect for the law, and concern for others. If the American Experiment is to continue to bear fruit in generations to come, we must cultivate those values in our children and teach them, by word and example, the difference between liberty and license, between the grateful exercise of freedom and the misuse of our precious rights.

This Thanksgiving, as we reflect on our Nation’s heritage and give thanks to Goa for our many blessings, let us renew the solemn commitment that John Winthrop and his fellow pilgrims made more than 300 years ago. At a time when so many of the world’s peoples look to America’s example, let us stand for a liberty “to that only which is good, just, and honest.” Mindful, too, that “he that gives to the poor lends to the Lord,” let us reach out with generosity to persons in need—strangers who are hungry and homeless, neighbors who are sick or lonely, and loved ones who are eager for our time, attention, and encouragement.

107 STAT. 2581

I am both confident and grateful that—in the future, as in the past— this Thanksgiving tradition will continue to bind us in appreciation of life’s greatest blessings: our families and friends, our rich heritage of freedom, and, most of all, the unchanging wisdom and presence of Almighty God.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 26, 1992, as a National Day of Thanksgiving. 1 urge all Americans to gather in their homes and in places of worship on that day to offer thanks to the Almighty for the many blessings that He has granted us as individuals and as a Nation. May we always strive to remain worthy of them.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

National Education First Week, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Three years ago, beginning with our historic Education Summit with the Nation’s Governors, we launched America 2000—an ambitious campaign to achieve excellence in our schools. Today more than 2,000 cities and towns throughout the United States and territories proudly count themselves as America 2000 communities, thanks to the shared commitment of parents, teachers, students, local public officials, and concerned business leaders. Recognizing the importance of education, not only as a treasure in itself, but also as the key to advancement for individuals and nations, these Americans are working to meet high standards in the classroom and to make their homes and neighborhoods places where learning can happen. As a result of this outpouring of support for our America 2000 strategy, we have begun to chart promising gains—7 years before our target date.

Since we launched America 2000, concerned individuals from all walks of life have responded enthusiastically to the challenge of building a new generation of American schools. Last year, when private sector leaders formed the New American Schools Development Corporation and announced a nationwide competition for the best school designs imaginable, nearly 700 teams submitted proposals. The Administration also pursued, and this July I was pleased to sign, the Higher Education Amendments of 1992, which will promote lifelong learning and achievement by expanding eligibility for student loans, by improving the accountability of student loan programs, and by providing for an alternative certification program through which States can devise ways to enlist the knowledge, experience, and skills of qualified men and women who want to teach yet lack traditional teaching degrees. In keeping with America 2000 and with our calls for increased competition and accountability in our Nation’s schools, at least 10 States 107 STAT. 2582have expanded parental choice in education, and this year’s report of the National Education Goals Panel shows that we have begun to increase the high school completion rate while, at the same time, significantly reducing drug use in and around our schools.

These developments are encouraging, and they are powerful testimony to the principles that guide our America 2000 strategy: greater parental choice and involvement in education; increased flexibility for teachers; high standards of student performance, verified by testing; competition and accountability in schools; and, of course, sustained cooperation among all Americans. However, even as we take justifiable pride in our progress, we know there is still much work to be done. In a world that demands excellence in science, technology, and commerce, America’s economic competitiveness will remain at risk as long as our students are not among the best in the world. We must continue to reach out to the nearly 2,000 students who drop out of school each day, abandoning their best hope for a bright future, and we must continue to expand educational opportunities for the estimated 26 million Americans who are functionally illiterate. Toward these ends, concerned Americans in education, business, private voluntary organizations, and the media are joining together in observance of National Education First Week.

This week we renew our commitment to achieving excellence in education—school by school, community by community. Millions of parents, educators, business owners, and volunteers are participating in this effort in support of our America 2000 strategy, and I salute them. In recognition of the importance of learning to each American and to our Nation, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 543, has designated the week of November 30 through December 6, 1992, as “National Education First Week” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of November 30 through December 6,1992, as National Education First Week. I urge all Americans to observe this week with appropriate programs and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6510 November 23, 1992 To Modify Duty-Free Treatment Under the Generalized System of Preferences Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6510 of November 23, 1992
To Modify Duty-Free Treatment Under the Generalized System of Preferences By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Pursuant to section 504(a)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974, Public Law 93–618, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2464(a)(1)) (“Trade Act”), the President may withdraw, suspend, or limit the application of duty-free treatment 107 STAT. 2583accorded under the Generalized System of Preferences (“GSP”) with respect to any article or any country after considering the factors set forth in sections 501 and 502(c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2461 and 2462(c)). Accordingly, after taking into account the factors set forth in sections 501 and 502(c) of the Trade Act, I have determined that it is appropriate to withdraw the duty-free treatment accorded under the GSP to imports from Mexico of polypropylene provided for in heading 3902.10.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTS”). 2. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited to sections 501, 502(c), 504(a)(1), and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:

(1) In order to provide that Mexico will no longer be treated as a beneficiary developing country with respect to HTS subheading 3902.10.00 for purposes of the GSP, the Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn for HTS subheading 3902.10.00 is modified by: (i) deleting the symbol “A” in parentheses, and (ii) inserting the symbol “A*” in lieu thereof. (2)

In order to provide that Mexico will no longer be treated as a beneficiary developing country with respect to HTS subheading 3902.10.00 for purposes of the GSP, general note 3(c)(ii)(D) to the HTS is modified by inserting, in numerical sequence, the following:

“3902.10.00   Mexico”

 (3) Any provisions of previous proclamations and Executive orders inconsistent with the provisions of this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. (4) The amendment made by this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles that are: (i) imported on or after January 1, 1976, and (ii) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 15 days after the date of publication of this proclamation in the Federal Register.

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

6511 November 25, 1992 National American Indian Heritage Month, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2584 Proclamation 6511 of November 25, 1992
National American Indian Heritage Month, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Since January, millions of Americans have been observing 1992 as the Year of the American Indian. Individuals of all ages and all walks of life have been taking part in cultural events, educational programs, and other activities that are designed to celebrate the unique art, history, and folklore of America’s earliest inhabitants and their descendants. The observance of November as National American Indian Heritage Month provides an opportunity for all citizens to join in honoring America’s native peoples.

The American Indian heritage is a rich array of many different cultural legacies—each as unique as the tribes themselves. From the skilled horsemen whose families and tribes roamed the Great West to the hardy peoples who hunted and fished in the forests and waters of Alaska, each tribe of Native Americans has enjoyed its own history, customs, and beliefs. Yet all have shared a deep reverence for the land itself and for the traditions of their forebears. That sense of environmental stewardship and tribal pride has inspired generation after generation, and today all Americans continue to learn a great deal from individuals of Indian ancestry.

As we celebrate the many contributions that Native Americans and their descendants have made to the United States, we also reaffirm the unique government-to-government relationship that exists between Indian tribes and the Federal Government. This long-standing relationship has developed over the years into a vibrant, mutually beneficial partnership—one made ever stronger as past inequities and conflicts have been resolved. In recent years, the Federal Government has worked together with tribal leaders toward our shared goals of equal opportunity and socioeconomic advancement for American Indians, as well as toward the preservation of their ancient cultural identities. The “Native American Languages Act of 1992,” which I signed into law last month, is but one example of joint efforts to enhance the well-being of America’s native peoples.

In honor of the unique cultural legacy of each of America’s native peoples, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 172, has designated November 1992 as “National American Indian Heritage Month” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this month.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 1992 as National American Indian Heritage Month. I urge all Americans, as well as their elected representatives at the Federal, State, and local levels, to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

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

6512 December 2, 1992 Wright Brothers Day, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2585 Proclamation 6512 of December 2, 1992
Wright Brothers Day, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In this last decade of the 20th century, as we assess the great scientific and technological achievements of the past 100 years, one event continues to shine forth as a triumph of human ingenuity and labor: Orville and Wilbur Wright’s first successful flight above the windswept dunes of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Although their handcrafted aircraft bucked and dipped through its low, brief flight of some 120 feet, the potential for human progress—in aviation, engineering, and countless other fields—at that moment soared. In many ways, we have never looked back.

With the world’s first, controlled manned flight in a mechanically propelled, heavier-than-air aircraft, Orville and Wilbur Wright launched the age of aviation and, in so doing, changed forever the world in which we live. Today millions of people travel throughout the world by air—often in planes that boast wingspans longer than the distance covered by the Wrights’ first flight. From cargo jets used in private commerce to military aircraft employed in our Nation’s defense and vital humanitarian missions, present-day aircraft play an indispensable role in ensuring America’s economic growth and national security. In addition, the continuing success of our Space Shuttle Program points toward an exciting future of exploration above Earth’s atmosphere and throughout the solar system. Clearly, the uses of aviation have developed far beyond the original expectations of Wilbur Wright, who, in a classic example of understatement, predicted that the airplane would “always be limited to special purposes,” serving as “a factor” in war and possibly “[having] a future as a carrier of mail.”

By commemorating the historic events of December 17, 1903, the day that Orville and Wilbur Wright triumphed over the force of gravity and the skepticism of friends, we not only celebrate the many uses of aviation but also recall the infinite value of labor and learning, courage and perseverance. Known to many as the owners of a modest bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, the Wrights were, in fact, gifted, painstaking, and keenly perceptive engineers. In addition to experimenting time and again with airplane models and wind tunnels, the Wrights also sifted carefully through data that had been collected by other scientists and engineers, dismissing that which proved unreliable and developing much of the existing handbook on fundamental aerodynamics. Yet it was Nature herself that inspired these pioneers, who achieved three-axis control in flight by closely observing the motion of birds.

Eager to learn at every trial and opportunity, the Wrights realized their dreams of manned flight and provided succeeding generations with a timeless example of the rewards of education and hard work. We do well to honor their memory, and as a result of legislation signed into law last October, future Americans will have an opportunity to learn more about the Wrights through the Dayton Aviation National Historic Park.

The Congress, by a joint resolution approved December 17, 1963 (77 Stat. 402; 36 U.S.C. 169), has designated the 17th day of December of 107 STAT. 2586each year as “Wright Brothers Day” and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation commemorating that day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim December 17,1992, as Wright Brothers Day. I invite all Americans to observe that day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6513 December 8, 1992 Human Rights Day, Bill of Rights Day, and Human Rights Week, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6513 of December 8, 1992
Human Rights Day, Bill of Rights Day, and Human Rights Week, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

This week, as we commemorate the ratification of our Bill of Rights on December 15, 1791, we not only give thanks for our Nation’s enduring legacy of liberty under law but also celebrate its role in promoting human rights around the world.

Our Bill of Rights guarantees, among other basic liberties, freedom of religion, speech, and the press. It affirms the right of the people to keep and bear arms; ensures that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; and guarantees the right of citizens to be secure against unreasonable searches and seizure of their persons, houses, papers, and effects. The Bill of Rights also establishes fundamental rules of fairness in our Nation’s judicial system, including the right to trial by jury, assistance of counsel, and freedom from cruel and unusual punishment. Finally, the Bill of Rights reserves to the States respectively, or to the people, those powers that are not delegated to the Federal Government by the Constitution.

Seventeen additional amendments have been added to our Constitution over the past 200 years, but the Bill of Rights has remained a shining symbol of our liberty—a standard against which we measure the legitimacy of American laws and institutions.

Over time, the Bill of Rights has proved to be a cornerstone as well: today we recognize that great document as the foundation of more recent charters of liberty, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 10, 1948. Recognizing that respect for “the inherent dignity and . . . the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world,” signers of the Declaration affirmed that “everyone has the right to life, liberty, and the security of person.” Signers likewise stated that “all are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law.” They agreed to respect freedom of thought, conscience, and religion for all, without regard to race, na-107 STAT. 2587tionality, gender, or belief, and declared that “everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives.” These principles were affirmed again in 1975, when the United States, Canada, and 33 European nations joined together in signing the Helsinki Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe.

While we have made great progress toward the goals set forth at Helsinki and reaffirmed at subsequent CSCE meetings in Copenhagen, Geneva, and Moscow, we know that there is still much work to do in promoting the peaceful resolution of conflicts, the establishment of stable, democratic institutions of government, and universal compliance with international human rights agreements. When he proposed a Bill of Rights to our Constitution in 1789, James Madison sagely noted that such a document would strengthen democracy by preventing a tyranny of the majority, in which the will of a larger number of citizens might be levelled against the rights of the few. The resurgence of ethnic violence and bitter nationalist rivalries has underscored the urgency of protecting the rights of minorities. As it has done consistently in the past, the United States calls on all signatories to the Helsinki Final Act and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to fulfill their solemn commitment to protect the rights of individuals, without regard to race, nationality, or creed.

Recognizing that egregious human rights violations continue not only in regions encompassed within the CSCE but also in other regions of the world, the United States also denounces any attempts to dilute or distort human rights agreements through the claim of particular socio-economic circumstances or religious and cultural traditions. Having fought so long for recognition of an international human rights standard, one rooted in fundamental standards of morality and justice, we will not condone that consensus being undermined by those who claim that their particular economic, social, or political contexts relieve them of their obligation to protect the rights of individuals. The upcoming World Conference on Human Rights, which is to be held in June 1993, will provide the United States with another opportunity to reaffirm the universality of human rights and the common duty of all governments to uphold them.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim December 10, 1992, as Human Rights Day and December 15, 1992, as Bill of Rights Day, and call on all Americans to observe the week beginning December 10, 1992, as Human Rights Week. I urge all Americans to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6514 December 9, 1992 Religious Freedom Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2588 Proclamation 6514 of December 9, 1992
Religious Freedom Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

We Americans have long cherished our identity as one Nation under God. To this day American law and institutions have been shaped by a view of man that recognizes the inherent rights and dignity of individuals. The Framers of our Government shared this view, and they never forgot the political and religious persecution that had forced their ancestors to flee Europe. Thus, it is not surprising that the first of all freedoms enumerated in our Bill of Rights is freedom of religion. The first amendment to our Constitution states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

As we reflect on our Constitution and Bill of Rights, we do well to acknowledge our debt to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. These two men were instrumental in establishing the American tradition of religious liberty and tolerance. Thomas Jefferson articulated the idea of religious liberty in his 1777 draft Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom in Virginia. In that bill, he wrote:

. . . all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinion in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise

. . . affect their civil capacities.

James Madison later introduced and championed this bill in the Virginia House of Delegates, where it passed in 1786. Following the Federal Constitutional Convention of 1787, James Madison led the way in drafting our Bill of Rights.

The religious freedom that James Madison and Thomas Jefferson helped to secure for us has been integral to the preservation and development of the United States. Over the years the exercise of our religious freedom has been instrumental in preserving the faith and the traditional values that are this Nation’s greatest strengths. Moreover, the free exercise of religion goes hand in hand with the preservation of our other rights. As Thomas Jefferson noted, the first amendment “guard[s] in the same sentence, and under the same words, the freedom of religion, of speech, and of the press; insomuch as that whatever violates either throws down the sanctuary which covers the others.” That sanctuary is the spirit of life, liberty, truth, and justice.

In that spirit, the United States has continued to champion religious liberty and tolerance around the world. We decry as reprehensible the persecution of ethnic and religious minorities, and we likewise condemn the resurgence of anti-Semitism and other forms of religious bigotry. The United States calls on all nations to respect the fundamental rights of individuals, in accordance with international human rights agreements and in recognition of the direct and inexorable relationship between freedom and justice and the achievement of lasting peace in the world.

107 STAT. 2589

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 457, has designated January 16, 1993, as “Religious Freedom Day” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim January 16, 1993, as Religious Freedom Day. 1 urge all Americans to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities in their homes, schools, and places of worship as an expression of our gratitude for the blessings of liberty and as a sign of our resolve to protect and preserve them.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6515 December 16, 1992 To Modify the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, To Extend Tariff Reductions on Certain Tropical Products, To Reduce Duties on Peach, Apricot, Raspberry, or Cherry Jams, and for Other Purposes Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6515 of December 16, 1992
To Modify the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, To Extend Tariff Reductions on Certain Tropical Products, To Reduce Duties on Peach, Apricot, Raspberry, or Cherry Jams, and for Other Purposes By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Section 1205(a) of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (“1988 Act”) (19 U.S.C. 3005(a)) directs the United States International Trade Commission (“Commission”) to keep the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTS”) under continuous review and periodically to recommend to the President such modifications to the HTS as the Commission considers necessary or appropriate. Section 1205(a) sets forth five categories of such potential modifications to the HTS, including changes to conform the HTS with amendments made to the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (“Convention”), to promote the uniform application of the Convention and its Annex, to ensure that the HTS is kept up-to-date in light of changes in technology or in patterns of international trade, to alleviate unnecessary administrative burdens, and to make technical rectifications. 2. Section 1205(d) of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 3005(d)) provides that the Commission may not recommend any modification unless it is consistent with the Convention and that any amendment thereto recommended for adoption is consistent with sound nomenclature principles, ensures substantial rate neutrality, and does not alter existing conditions of competition for the affected United States industry, labor, or trade. Section 1205(d) further provides that any change to a rate of duty must be consequent to, or necessitated by, nomenclature modifications that are recommended under this section. 3. Pursuant to section 1205(b) of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 3005(b)), the Commission instituted Investigations Nos. 1205–1 and 1205–2. The Commission included in its notices of investigation the proposed 107 STAT. 2590changes to the HTS. Pursuant to section 1205(c) of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 3005(c)), taking into account the views and submissions of Federal Government agencies and other interested parties, the Commission submitted to the President two reports, one in March 1991 (with a June addendum and revision in May 1992) and the second in November 1991, recommending changes to the HTS in accordance with the provisions of section 1205. The Commission included in its reports copies or summaries of the submissions received in the investigations, together with a statement of the probable economic effect of each recommended change on any industry in the United States. 4. Pursuant to section 1206(a) of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 3006(a)), I have determined that the recommended modifications are in conformity with United States obligations under the Convention and do not run counter to the national economic interest of the United States. The report and lay-over requirements of section 1206(b) of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 3006(b)) have been met. 5. Pursuant to section 1102(a) of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 2902(a)), on December 5, 1988, the United States entered into a trade agreement providing for the reduction of rates of duty applicable to imports of certain tropical products. This trade agreement with other contracting parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (“GATT”) (61 Stat. (pts. 5 and 6)), as amended, committed the United States to make, on a provisional basis, tariff reductions on enumerated tropical products. 6. Pursuant to section 1102(a) of the 1988 Act, by Proclamation 6030 of September 28, 1989, and specifically Annex II thereto, I proclaimed temporary reductions of existing duties on imports of such enumerated tropical products, to be effective through December 31, 1992. 7. Pursuant to the 1988 Act, I have determined that the modification or continuance of existing duties is required or appropriate to carry out the trade agreement on tropical products. Accordingly, I have decided to extend the effective period of the temporary duty reductions on such enumerated tropical products, as set forth in headings 9903.10.01 through 9903.10.42, inclusive, of the HTS, through December 31, 1993. 8. Pursuant to subtitle B of title I of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 3001–3012), by Proclamation 5911 of November 19, 1988, the United States adopted and implemented the HTS, comprising the Tariff Schedules of the United States (“TSUS”) (19 U.S.C. 1202) converted into the format of the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (“Harmonized System”). Included in the HTS, effective January 1, 1989, were new provisions covering jams of peaches, apricots, raspberries, or cherries, falling under Harmonized System subheading 2007.99. The Rates of Duty 1-General subcolumn on such products under these new HTS provisions were higher than the corresponding column 1 duty rates under the pertinent former TSUS items, because of procedures generally applied during the tariff conversion and definitional differences between the two nomenclature systems. 9. Section 312 of the Customs and Trade Act of 1990 (“1990 Act”) (Public Law 101–382; 104 Stat. 666) temporarily reduced the most-favored-nation (MFN) duty rates (reflected in the column 1 rates of duty) on such imported products to the levels applicable under the former TSUS, effective through December 31, 1992. Section 312(b) of the 1990 107 STAT. 2591Act authorizes the President to proclaim permanent modifications in column 1 rates of duty to restore the tariff treatment applicable under the former TSUS, upon a determination that appropriate trade concessions, including the correction of errors and oversights in foreign tariff schedules, have been obtained. 10. Accordingly, following negotiations, I have determined that appropriate trade concessions (specifically, a restoration by the European Economic Community (“E3EC”) of the duty rates on inedible mixtures of animal and vegetable fats and oils that applied before the EEC’s implementation of a Harmonized System-based tariff in 1988) have been obtained, and that it is necessary and appropriate to restore the tariff treatment applicable under the TSUS to jams of peaches, apricots, raspberries, or cherries, falling under Harmonized System subheading 2007.99. 11. Finally, in order to effect in the HTS certain conforming changes omitted in Proclamation 6282 of April 25, 1991, Proclamation 6343 of September 28, 1991, Proclamation 6446 of June 15, 1992, and Proclamation 6455 of July 2, 1992,1 have determined that it is necessary and appropriate to modify the HTS. 12. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Trade Act”) (19 U.S.C. 2483) authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the provisions of that Act, and of other Acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import restriction. Section 1206(c) of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 3006(c)) provides that any modifications proclaimed by the President under section 1206(a) of that Act may not take effect before the 15th day after the date on which the text of the proclamation is published in the Federal Register.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited to sections 1102 and 1206 of the 1988 Act, section 312 of the 1990 Act, and section 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:

(1) The HTS is modified as set forth in Annex I to this proclamation.

(3) In order to provide for the continuation of previously proclaimed duty reductions for goods in the HTS provisions modified in Annex I to this proclamation that are the products of countries designated as beneficiary countries for purposes of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act, as amended (“CBERA”) (19 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.), or the Andean Trade Preference Act (“ATPA”) (19 U.S.C. 3201 et seq.), effective with respect to goods that are the products of countries designated 107 STAT. 2592as beneficiary countries for purposes of the CBERA or the ATPA that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the dates specified in Annex HI to this proclamation, the rate of duty in the HTS set forth in the Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn followed by the symbol “EJ” in parentheses for each of the HTS subheadings enumerated in such Annex shall be deleted and the rate of duty provided in such Annex inserted in lieu thereof effective with respect to such goods on the dates specified. (4) The duty reductions set forth in HTS headings 9903.10.01 through 9903.10.42 shall be effective with respect to goods entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, through December 31, 1993. (5) Heading 2007 of the HTS is modified as provided in Annex IV to this proclamation. (6) In order to provide for certain conforming changes omitted in aforementioned proclamations, the HTS is modified as set forth in Annex V to this proclamation. (7) Any provisions of previous proclamations inconsistent with the provisions of this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. (8) (a) The modifications made by paragraph (1) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after January 1, 1993, or on or after the 15th day after the date of publication of this proclamation in the Federal Register, whichever is later. (b) The modifications made by paragraphs (2), (3), and (6) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the dates set forth in Annexes II, III, and V to this proclamation. (c) The modifications made by paragraphs (4) and (5) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after January 1, 1993. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6516 December 21, 1992 Year of American Craft: A Celebration of the Creative Work of the Hand, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6516 of December 21, 1992
Year of American Craft: A Celebration of the Creative Work of the Hand, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

While the United States leads the world in the development and use of sophisticated technology and materials, Americans continue to share a special appreciation of works made by hand. Our ancestors were skilled artisans and craftsmen, as well as accomplished hunters, farmers, and fishermen, and today we still marvel at their skill in carpentry, weaving, stonecutting, smithery, and so forth. Over the years, Americans have maintained a magnificent tradition of craftsmanship and folk art, in keeping with the spirit of our forebears, and it is fitting that we celebrate this rich portion of our national heritage.

Using their hands as the tools of their imaginations, American artisans have designed and developed a tangible record of our national experience. By plying trades that have been passed on through the centuries, from generation to generation, quilters, carvers, and other craftspeople of our day are helping to preserve America’s history. These tradespeople and artists have produced objects of practical application, as well as lasting beauty, and many of our art galleries and museums display outstanding samples of their work.

We are rightly proud of American craft and folk art because, in many ways, these works of the hand embody traditional American values: 107 STAT. 2604pride in quality and service, diligence in pursuit of a goal, attention to detail, and respect for learning and achievement. By celebrating traditional American craft and by saluting the men and women who have mastered fine trades, we reaffirm the importance of those timeless values.

Crafts are inspired by the best in American tradition, yet they also reflect the informed creativity and vision of the present. Having learned from the past, today’s artisans and craftspeople are adding their own unique touches to American culture. As we celebrate traditional craft and folk art in the United States, we also recognize each of the masters and apprentices who, through their works of the hand, continue to preserve and shape this living legacy of beauty.

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 218, has designated 1993 as a “Year of American Craft: A Celebration of the Creative Work of the Hand” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this year.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim 1993 as a Year of American Craft: A Celebration of the Creative Work of the Hand. I invite all Americans to observe this year with appropriate programs and activities in celebrating the traditional arts in the United States.

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

To Amend the Generalized System of Preferences By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Pursuant to sections 501 and 502 of the Trade Act of 1974, Public Law 93–618, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2461 and 2462) (“Trade Act”), and having due regard for the eligibility criteria set forth therein, I have determined that it is appropriate to designate Ethiopia as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of the Generalized System of Preferences (“GSP”). 2. Pursuant to section 504(a)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2464(a)(1)), the President may withdraw, suspend, or limit the application of the duty-free treatment accorded under the GSP with respect to any article or any country after considering the factors set forth in sections 501 and 502(c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2461 and 2462(c)). Accordingly, after taking into account the factors set forth in sections 501 and 502(c) of the Trade Act, I have determined that it is appropriate to withdraw the duty-free treatment accorded under the GSP to imports of sulfanilic acid provided for in subheading 2921.42.24 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTS”). 107 STAT. 2605 3. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited to sections 501, 502(c), 504(a)(1), and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:

(1) General note 3(c)(ii)(A) to the HTS, listing those countries whose products are eligible for benefits of the GSP, is modified by inserting “Ethiopia” in alphabetical order in the enumeration of independent countries. (2) In order to withdraw the duty-free treatment accorded under the GSP to sulfanilic acid, the HTS is modified as provided in the Annex to this proclamation. (3) For HTS subheadings 2921.42.26 and 2921.42.28, effective with respect to goods originating in the territory of Canada which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after January 1, 1993, in the Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn of the HTS, the HTS is modified by deleting the symbol “(CA)” and the duty rate preceding it, and inserting in the parentheses following the “Free” rate the symbol “CA,” in alphabetical order. (4) Any provisions of previous proclamations and Executive orders inconsistent with the provisions of this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. (5) The modifications to the HTS made by paragraphs (1) and (2) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles that are: (i) imported on or after January 1, 1976, and (ii) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 15 days after the date of publication of this proclamation in the Federal Register.

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

6518 December 24, 1992 Grant of Executive Clemency Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2606 Proclamation 6518 of December 24, 1992
Grant of Executive Clemency By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Today I am exercising my power under the Constitution to pardon former Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and others for their conduct related to the Iran-Contra affair.

For more than 6 years now, the American people have invested enormous resources into what has become the most thoroughly investigated matter of its kind in our history. During that time, the last American hostage has come home to freedom, worldwide terrorism has declined, the people of Nicaragua have elected a democratic government, and the Cold War has ended in victory for the American people and the cause of freedom we championed.

In the mid 1980’s, however, the outcome of these struggles was far from clear. Some of the best and most dedicated of our countrymen were called upon to step forward. Secretary Weinberger was among the foremost.

Caspar Weinberger is a true American patriot. He has rendered long and extraordinary service to our country. He served for 4 years in the Army during World War II where his bravery earned him a Bronze Star. He gave up a lucrative career in private life to accept a series of public positions in the late 1960’s and 1970’s, including Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, Director of the Office of Management and Budget, and Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. Caspar Weinberger served in all these positions with distinction and was admired as a public servant above reproach.

He saved his best for last. As Secretary of Defense throughout most of the Reagan Presidency, Caspar Weinberger was one of the principal architects of the downfall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet Union. He directed the military renaissance in this country that led to the breakup of the communist bloc and a new birth of freedom and democracy. Upon his resignation in 1987, Caspar Weinberger was awarded the highest civilian medal our Nation can bestow on one of its citizens, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Secretary Weinberger’s legacy will endure beyond the ending of the Cold War. The military readiness of this Nation that he in large measure created could not have been better displayed than it was 2 years ago in the Persian Gulf and today in Somalia.

As Secretary Weinberger’s pardon request noted, it is a bitter irony that on the day the first charges against Secretary Weinberger were filed, Russian President Boris Yeltsin arrived in the United States to celebrate the end of the Cold War. I am pardoning him not just out of compassion or to spare a 75-year-old patriot the torment of lengthy and costly legal proceedings, but to make it possible for him to receive the honor he deserves for his extraordinary service to our country.

Moreover, on a somewhat more personal note, I cannot ignore the debilitating illnesses faced by Caspar Weinberger and his wife. When he resigned as Secretary of Defense, it was because of his wife’s cancer. 107 STAT. 2607

In the years since he left public service, her condition has not improved. In addition, since that time, he also has become ill. Nevertheless, Caspar Weinberger has been a pillar of strength for his wife; this pardon will enable him to be by her side undistracted by the ordeal of a costly and arduous trial.

I have also decided to pardon five other individuals for their conduct related to the Iran-Contra affair: Elliott Abrams, Duane Clarridge, Alan Fiers, Clair George, and Robert McFarlane. First, the common denominator of their motivation—whether their actions were right or wrong— was patriotism. Second, they did not profit or seek to profit from their conduct. Third, each has a record of long and distinguished service to this country. And finally, all five have already paid a price—in depleted savings, lost careers, anguished families—grossly disproportionate to any misdeeds or errors of judgment they may have committed. The prosecutions of the individuals I am pardoning represent what I believe is a profoundly troubling development in the political and legal climate of our country: the criminalization of policy differences. These differences should be addressed in the political arena, without the Damocles sword of criminality hanging over the heads of some of the combatants. The proper target is the President, not his subordinates; the proper forum is the voting booth, not the courtroom.

In recent years, the use of criminal processes in policy disputes has become all too common. It is my hope that the action I am taking today will begin to restore these disputes to the battleground where they properly belong.

In addition, the actions of the men I am pardoning took place within the larger Cold War struggle. At home, we had a long, sometimes heated debate about how that struggle should be waged. Now the Cold War is over. When earlier wars have ended, Presidents have historically used their power to pardon to put bitterness behind us and look to the future. This healing tradition reaches at least from James Madison’s pardon of Lafitte’s pirates after the War of 1812, to Andrew Johnson’s pardon of soldiers who had fought for the Confederacy, to Harry Truman’s and Jimmy Carter’s pardons of those who violated the Selective Service laws in World War n and Vietnam.

In many cases, the offenses pardoned by these Presidents were at least as serious as those I am pardoning today. The actions of those pardoned and the decisions to pardon them raised important issues of conscience, the rule of law, and the relationship under our Constitution between the government and the governed. Notwithstanding the seriousness of these issues and the passions they aroused, my predecessors acted because it was time for the country to move on. Today I do the same.

Some may argue that this decision will prevent full disclosure of some new key fact to the American people. That is not true. This matter has been investigated exhaustively. The Tower Board, the Joint Congressional Committee charged with investigating the Iran-Contra affair, and the Independent Counsel have looked into every aspect of this matter. The Tower Board interviewed more than 80 people and reviewed thousands of documents. The Joint Congressional Committee interviewed more than 500 people and reviewed more than 300,000 pages of material. Lengthy committee hearings were held and broadcast on national television to millions of Americans. And as I have noted, the Inde-107 STAT. 2608pendent Counsel investigation has gone on for more than 6 years, and it has cost more than $31 million.

Moreover, the Independent Counsel stated last September that he had completed the active phase of his investigation. He will have the opportunity to place his full assessment of the facts in the public record when he submits his final report. While no impartial person has seriously suggested that my own role in this matter is legally questionable, I have further requested that the Independent Counsel provide me with a copy of my sworn testimony to his office, which I am prepared to release immediately. And I understand Secretary Weinberger has requested the release of all of his notes pertaining to the Iran-Contra matter.

For more than 30 years in public service, I have tried to follow three precepts: honor, decency, and fairness. I know, from all those years of service, that the American people believe in fairness and fair play. In granting these pardons today, I am doing what I believe honor, decency, and fairness require.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, pursuant to my powers under Article H, Section 2, of the Constitution, do hereby grant a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to Elliott Abrams, Duane R. Clarridge, Alan Fiers, Clair George, Robert C. McFarlane, and Caspar W. Weinberger for all offenses charged or prosecuted by Independent Counsel Lawrence E. Walsh or other member of his office, or committed by these individuals and within the jurisdiction of that office.

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

To Implement Tariff Modifications on Certain Plywood Originating in the Territory of Canada and for Other Purposes By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Pursuant to section 201(c) of the United States-Canada Free-Trade Agreement Implementation Act of 1988 (Public Law 100–449) (the “CFTA Act”), the President is authorized to implement the tariff concessions described in article 2008 of the United States-Canada Free-Trade Agreement (the “CFTA”) when he determines that common performance standards for the use of softwood plywood and other structural panels in construction applications have been incorporated into building codes in the United States and Canada. Article 2008 of the CFTA allowed the United States and Canada to delay implementation of tariff concessions on softwood plywood and on waferboard, oriented strand board, and particle-board of all species because a panel of ex-107 STAT. 2609ports from the two countries failed to resolve issues regarding the use of a particular grade of plywood by the date of entry into force of the CFTA. 2. Pursuant to section 201(c)(2) of the CFTA Act, the President reports to the Congress on the incorporation of common plywood performance standards into building codes in the two countries. Pursuant to section 201(c)(3) of the CFTA Act, any tariff reduction undertaken by the United States and commencing after January 1, 1991, need not be in equal annual increments. 3. Pursuant to section 201(c) of the CFTA Act, I have determined that common plywood performance standards have been incorporated into building codes in the United States and Canada and that the necessary conditions for implementing the tariff concessions under article 2008 of the CFTA have been met. Accordingly, I have reported to the Congress on such incorporation, and I have decided that the implementation by the United States of previously agreed staged reductions in duties on certain plywood originating in the territory of Canada should begin on January 1, 1993, and end on January 1, 1998. 4. Section 1204(b)(1)(C) of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (19 U.S.C. 3004(b)(1)(C)) (the “1988 Act”) authorizes the President to proclaim modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTS”) as are necessary or appropriate to implement such technical rectifications as the President considers necessary. Pursuant to section 1204(b)(1)(C), I have determined that certain technical rectifications to the HTS are necessary to provide the proper tariff treatment to certain chemicals. 5. Section 804 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483) (the “Trade Act”), authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting import treatment, and action thereunder, including the removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import restriction.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited to section 201(c) of the CFTA Act, section 1204(b)(1)(C) of the 1988 Act, and section 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:

(1) In order to implement, consistent with the provisions of article 2008 of the CFTA, the tariff concessions on certain plywood and on waferboard, oriented strand board, and particle-board of all species, the HTS is modified as set forth in Annex I to this proclamation. (2) In order to make technical rectifications in the tariff treatment afforded to certain chemicals, the HTS is further modified as set forth in Annex II to this proclamation. (3) Any provisions of previous proclamations inconsistent with the provisions of this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent of such inconsistency.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6520 December 23, 1992 National Good Teen Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2611 Proclamation 6520 of December 23, 1992
National Good Teen Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The passage between childhood and adulthood constitutes one of the most eventful stages of our life’s journey. The teen years are as challenging as they are exciting, and at a time when young Americans are facing more serious pressures than ever before—from substance abuse and violence to sexual promiscuity and dropping out of school—it is fitting that we set aside this day to reaffirm the unique, God-given potential of every teenager.

Today millions of American teenagers are setting examples for others by demonstrating love and respect for their parents, by meeting their responsibilities at home and in school, by participating in their places of worship, and by showing consideration and concern for their classmates and neighbors. They are also enjoying the rewards of voluntary service to others, thereby contributing to our communities and Nation as Points of Light. These teens are making the most of their talents and opportunities and, through their determination and hard work, are building the foundation for a bright future.

It is vital that we recognize and reinforce good behavior among teens and instill in every child a positive sense of responsibility, self-control, and self-worth. The pursuit of freedom and independence is characteristic of adolescence. Yet, while most adolescents demand increasing autonomy, they also continue to need and seek their parents’ reassurance, guidance, and support. For teenagers who are struggling to cope with the many physical and emotional changes of adolescence, as well as the external pressures that weigh so heavily on young people today, such encouragement and guidance are essential. We must provide our teens with opportunity and hope, with firm yet loving moral guidance and discipline, and—most important—with clear, consistent examples of personal responsibility and virtue.

No child is destined to become a “bad teen.” Through loving, responsible parenting and through the support of schools, churches, and communities that set high standards of character and conduct for people of all ages, we can help every young American to recognize and attain his or her fullest potential. On this occasion, let us resolve to do exactly that.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 409, has designated January 16, 1993, as “National Good Teen Day” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim January 16, 1993, as National Good Teen Day. I invite all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs and activities in honor of America’s teenaged citizens.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-third day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and 107 STAT. 2612ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6521 January 4, 1993 National Sanctity of Human Life Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6521 of January 4, 1993
National Sanctity of Human Life Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Americans have demonstrated their commitment to the belief “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” This tradition of generosity and reverence for human life stands in marked contrast with the prevalence of abortion in America today—some 1.5 million children lost each year; more than 4,000 each day. This is shocking evidence of just how far we have strayed from our Nation’s most cherished values and beliefs. Thus we pause on this National Sanctity of Human Life Day to call attention to the tragedy of abortion and to recognize the many individuals who are working to restore respect for human life in our Nation.

Advances in science and technology have offered us tremendous new insight on life in the womb: parents can now hear their unborn child’s heartbeat as early as 8 weeks of age; physicians can monitor the baby’s development using high-resolution sonography; and they may even diagnose and treat abnormalities before birth. How terribly ironic it is that, at one hospital or clinic, an unborn child may be carefully treated as a patient, while at another facility—perhaps just a few blocks away—another innocent child may become a victim of abortion.

Recognizing the tragedy of abortion and the feelings of desperation that lead some women to make such a painful, devastating choice, concerned individuals throughout the United States are working to help women choose life for their unborn children. On this occasion we recognize the many generous Americans who—with nothing to gain for themselves—reach out to women in need through crisis pregnancy centers, residential facilities, mentoring programs, and a host of other support services. We also recognize the many social services professionals, attorneys, and counselors who assist in promoting the adoption option, and we salute each of the courageous women who make this unselfish choice for their children. Such works of generosity and compassion are saving lives and, yes, slowly but surely turning hearts—one woman, one couple, one community at a time.

The struggle to overcome abortion in the United States—to educate individuals about life in the womb, to restore reverence for the miracle of creation, and to expand alternatives for women in need—is far from ended. While the struggle may be a long and difficult one, many Americans know that it is a cause from which we cannot retreat. And because it is a cause that appeals directly to the conscience of the Nation—a Nation that has, time and again, demonstrated its capacity to rediscover its highest ideals, ideals rooted in our belief in the God-107 STAT. 2613given rights and dignity of every human being—it is a cause that cannot fail.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Sunday, January 17, 1993, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. I call on all Americans to reflect on the sanctity of human life in all its stages and to gather in homes and places of worship to give thanks for the gift of life and to reaffirm our commitment to respect the life and dignity of every human being.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

Braille Literacy Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Standardized for use in the United States in 1932, braille is the primary tactile system for reading and writing used by blind individuals today. The braille system uses raised dots to represent the letters of the alphabet, symbols of punctuation, mathematic and scientific characters, music and computer notation, and foreign language signs.

Through braille, a person who is visually impaired is given the key to unlock the power of the written word. Braille enables blind individuals to achieve the many rewards of literacy, including educational advancement, personal independence, and economic opportunity and security. Braille also enables its users to enjoy the full form, structure, and beauty of printed poetry and prose.

Over the past 60 years, the braille system has continued to open doors of learning and opportunity for blind Americans. This week we acknowledge the importance of braille and recognize the many dedicated individuals who teach and promote this system as a tool of achievement.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 353, has designated the week of January 3 through January 9, 1993, as “Braille Literacy Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of January 3 through January 9, 1993, as Braille Literacy Week and invite all Americans to observe this week with appropriate programs and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, 107 STAT. 2614and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6523 January 5, 1993 National Law Enforcement Training Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6523 of January 5, 1993
National Law Enforcement Training Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The effectiveness of any Federal, State, or local law enforcement agency depends on knowledgeable, well-trained, and highly qualified personnel. Building such a force requires rigorous education and training, not only before an officer earns the badge, but also throughout his or her career.

Whether intervening in a violent domestic dispute, apprehending a suspected drug dealer, or assisting at the site of a traffic accident, law enforcement officers are often required to make split-second decisions that could mean the difference between life and death. Therefore, in addition to knowledge of criminal statutes and fundamental rules of procedure, law enforcement training encompasses basic skills on which an officer’s survival and other human lives depend. From physical conditioning and self-defense techniques to the safe use of fire-arms, such training ensures that an officer is prepared to maintain law and order while, at the same time, protecting the rights and safety of individual citizens.

As law enforcement agencies employ increasingly sophisticated technology and techniques in the fight against crime, the need for highly specialized education and training continues to increase as well. Today an officer’s training in traditional investigative methods may also include more advanced studies in ballistics, toxicology, computer science, psychology, and other complex fields. For the veteran as well as the rookie, for the administrator behind the desk as well as the officer on the beat—continuing education and training are essential to meeting new challenges in police work.

All Americans benefit from programs that contribute to the knowledge, professionalism, and skill of our Nation’s law enforcement officers, and this week we gratefully salute the dedicated individuals whose instruction and guidance assist officers in the performance of their duties. We also recognize the many rewarding career opportunities that are available to young people in law enforcement and related occupations, and encourage parents and teachers to make the observance of this week a rewarding learning opportunity for children—one that instills in them a healthy respect for the law and for the courageous men and women who are pledged to defend it.

In order to heighten public awareness of the importance of law enforcement training and its related fields, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 304, has designated the week of January 3 through January 9, 1993, as “National Law Enforcement Training Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

107 STAT. 2615

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning January 3, 1993, as National Law Enforcement Training Week. I invite all Americans to observe this week with appropriate programs and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6524 January 11, 1993 Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6524 of January 11, 1993
Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

By setting aside a day in honor of the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., our Nation reaffirms its commitment to the noble goals for which he labored and eventually gave his life: equal opportunity and justice for all.

Throughout his quest to end racial segregation in the United States and to promote understanding and respect among all people, Martin Luther King urged America to fulfill its promise—and its potential—as a Nation dedicated to the belief “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Always mindful of those words from our Declaration of Independence, Dr. King viewed his work as a must-win struggle for the soul and future of the Nation. He knew that efforts to promote far-reaching social change, in a peaceful, nonviolent manner, would require patience, determination, and sacrifice. Yet, despite experiencing stubborn opposition, imprisonment, and even threats to his life, he also believed that the civil rights movement would prevail. “We will reach the goal of freedom in Birmingham and all over the Nation,” he wrote to his followers from jail, “because the goal of America is freedom. . . . our destiny is tied up with America’s destiny.”

With his inspired leadership and eloquent appeals to all who would listen, Martin Luther King set in motion a ground swell of change in the United States. The Civil Rights Act of 1957, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 were critical milestones in the fight for equality under the law. Although Dr. King’s assassination in 1968 at the age of 39 prevented his living to see the fulfillment of his dreams for America, his legacy has continued to challenge and inspire us. Over the years the United States has continued to eliminate legal and attitudinal barriers that have, in the past, limited opportunities on the basis of race. We must go on striving to realize Dr. King’s vision of an America where individuals are “not judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

107 STAT. 2616

While government plays a critical role in the fight against discrimination through the enforcement of civil rights laws and its own hiring practices, our efforts to promote racial harmony and justice in the United States must begin at home. Martin Luther King described the family as the “main educational agency of mankind, ” and it is within the family that we must first teach lessons about love and fairness, decency and kindness, and the difference between right and wrong. We honor the legacy of Martin Luther King when we show our children, by word and example, what it means to lead “a committed life”—a life dedicated to excellence and to the service of one’s fellowman. We equip our children for such a life when we encourage them to recognize their own self-worth, as well as the inherent rights and worth of others. “Every man is somebody,” declared Dr. King, “because he is a child of God.”

A minister by vocation, Martin Luther King sought righteous hearts as well as just laws. He warned that humankind suffered from “a poverty of the spirit which stands in stark contrast to our scientific and technological abundance.” In this last decade of the 20th century, as we marvel at the historic achievements of the past 100 years and anticipate the many to come, let us enrich our children with a wealth of encouragement, hope, and moral guidance—and with living examples of racial comity and friendship.

By Public Law 98–144, the third Monday in January of each year has been designated as a legal public holiday.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Monday, January 18, 1993, as the Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

National Day of Fellowship and Hope, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

As I assume the office of President, I stand humbly before God and ask for His guidance and blessings for our great Nation. At the same time, I ask the citizens of America to join me in renewing our commitment to the American ideals of fellowship and hope.

The obligation of a President is more than the fulfillment of a set of constitutional duties. The President must carry the mantle of hope and optimism in the battle against fear and despair. I ask that every American help as we attempt, in the words of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., “to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope” and 107 STAT. 2617“transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.”

We must always remember that the essence of our democracy is the recognition that we are united in a common purpose, working toward a common good.

In renewing our commitment to fellowship throughout our great Nation, we recall the spirit of Thomas Jefferson, who said on the occasion of his first inaugural address, “Let us, then, fellow citizens, unite with one heart and one mind. Let us restore to social intercourse that harmony and affection without which liberty and even life itself are but dreary things.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 22, 1993, a National Day of Fellowship and Hope and call upon the citizens of this great Nation to reflect on their obligations to their fellow Americans and look forward to the challenges of the new year with a spirit of hope.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6526 January 24, 1993 Death of Thurgood Marshall Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6526 of January 24, 1993
Death of Thurgood Marshall By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Thurgood Marshall, an African-American born and reared in segregated America, was a fundamental force of change in this Nation. Perhaps no other American lawyer has had more impact on the current meaning and content of the U.S. Constitution. As the leading attorney for the N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense and Education Fund, Justice Marshall’s twenty-nine victories before the U.S. Supreme Court breathed life into the text of the Fourteenth Amendment and guaranteed all Americans equality and liberty in their Individual choices concerning voting, housing, education, and travel. As an appeals court judge, the Solicitor General of the United States and, finally, Supreme Court Justice, he worked tirelessly to expand and protect his vision of justice for America. As our Nation begins to chart its course for the next century, it is fitting that we pause to honor and remember the courageous, purposeful life of Thurgood Marshall.

As a mark of respect for the memory of Thurgood Marshall, former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, I hereby order by the authority vested in me as President of the United States of America by section 175 of title 36 of the United States Code, 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 107 STAT. 2618all 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 for the same length of time 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 twenty-fourth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6527 February 3, 1993 National Women and Girls in Sports Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6527 of February 3, 1993
National Women and Girls in Sports Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In 1972, Title IX was passed requiring colleges receiving government funds to provide equitable athletic programs for women, thus markedly expanding sports opportunities for women. As we enter the third decade of this law, it is fitting and proper that we recognize the importance of the skills gained through fitness and athletic experiences.

Sports and fitness activities greatly enhance emotional and physical well-being. Additionally, the communication and cooperation skills learned through athletic experiences play a key role in an individual’s contributions at home, at work, and to society. At the same time, the bonds built through athletics help to break down the barriers of racism and prejudice.

Unfortunately, while the history of women in sports is rich and long, there has been limited national recognition of the significance of women’s athletic achievements. The number of women in leadership positions as coaches, officials, and administrators has declined drastically over the years. Athletic opportunities for male students at the high school and collegiate level remain significantly greater than those for female students.

With the promise of a bright future, female athletes serve as a source of pride and unity for the United States. They represent the best of performance and dedication and serve as valuable role models to younger citizens.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 546, has designated February 4, 1993, as “National Women and Girls in Sports Day” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim February 4, 107 STAT. 26191993, as National Women and Girls in Sports Day. I urge all Americans to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

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

American Heart Month, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Approximately every 34 seconds, someone in the United States dies of some form of heart and blood vessel disease. Heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases kill nearly one million Americans every year.

Heart diseases and stroke exact an incalculable toll in human pain and suffering. More than 70 million Americans, young and old, currently suffer from one or more forms of cardiovascular disease. Stroke is the leading cause of serious disability and the third leading cause of death in the United States. Heart diseases and stroke also cost our Nation more than $117 billion in terms of health care expenses and lost productivity.

The Federal Government, through the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, and the American Heart Association have spent millions of dollars on research into cardiovascular diseases and educational programs. That investment was greatly enhanced by the dedicated efforts of the Association’s 3.7 million volunteers.

We know how important it is to educate people, particularly young people, about the use of tobacco products. We also know that controlling blood pressure, eating a diet low in fat and cholesterol, and exercising regularly are all prudent ways of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Advances in both the treatment and the prevention of heart and blood vessel diseases have resulted in great progress. From 1980 to 1990 age-adjusted death rates from heart attack declined 32.6 percent and during the same years the death rate from stroke dropped 32.4 percent.

Although significant progress has been made in the struggle to overcome cardiovascular diseases, we must not become complacent. We must strengthen and renew our commitment to winning this battle.

In recognition of the need for all Americans to become involved in the ongoing fight against cardiovascular diseases, the Congress, by Joint Resolution approved December 30, 1963 (77 Stat. 843; 36 U.S.C. 169b), has requested that the President issue an annual proclamation designating February as “American Heart Month.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of February 1993 as 107 STAT. 2620American Heart Month. I invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, and the American people to join me in reaffirming our commitment to combatting cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

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

6529 February 18, 1993 National Visiting Nurse Associations Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6529 of February 18, 1993
National Visiting Nurse Associations Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Since 1885, countless men, women, and children have been provided care in their own communities and homes by the staff of Visiting Nurse Associations. These associations are in 422 urban and rural communities in 45 States and provide home health care to more than 1,500,000 people. The associations are voluntary in nature, independently owned, and community based. They offer a wide range of services, including hospice care, personal care, homemaking, social services, nutritional counseling, specialized nursing care, and occupational, physical, and speech therapy by registered nurses.

Historically, the care provided by Visiting Nurse Associations has enabled many individuals who are chronically ill or disabled to remain in their homes. Such care provides a setting that is familiar to them and is characterized by the physical and social support of family, friends, and loved ones.

Today, as an increasing number of people are being released from acute care settings and returning to their communities in need of complex home health assistance, Visiting Nurse Associations have been quick to respond. Whether caring for a low birth-weight baby, assisting a person recently released horn the hospital following surgery, or administering life-sustaining procedures, Visiting Nurse Associations have proven to be critical care providers.

The associations adhere to high standards of quality and provide personalized and cost-effective health care and support, regardless of a person’s ability to pay. They are enthusiastically supported by the communities in which they are located, and their resources are regularly enhanced by the services of volunteers and the donations of community members.

In recognition of the increasing need for home health care, and the significant potential of Visiting Nurse Associations to provide this care, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 484, has designated the week beginning February 14, 1993, as “National Visiting Nurse Associations Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

I urge all Americans to observe this week with appropriate programs and activities.

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

American Wine Appreciation Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The wine industry in this Nation has a heritage dating back to our Founding Fathers. Today it continues as a proud tradition, nurtured by thousands of family-owned farms, in every region of our country. From generation to generation, grape growers have helped sustain and preserve our agricultural resources, keeping 850,000 acres of American land as open space for active agricultural production.

More than 8,000 grape and other fruit growers work together with more than 1,300 wineries to produce 85 percent of all wine consumed in the United States. This S8 billion industry strengthens the American economy by supporting more than 200,000 jobs and contributing $1 billion a year in government taxes and fees.

The history of wine grape growing in the world spans more than 7,000 years. In our own history, wine has continually played an important role in a wide variety of American cultural, religious, and familial traditions. Vineyards and wineries across the Nation are scenic tourist attractions, drawing millions of foreign and American visitors each year.

In gratitude to those who contribute to the high quality of agricultural products produced in the United States, and in recognition of the role of agriculture in our daily life and our life as a Nation, the Congress, by Public Law 102–468, has designated the week of February 21–27, 1993, as “American Wine Appreciation Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of February 21–27, 1993, as “American Wine Appreciation Week.” I call upon the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-third day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and 107 STAT. 2622ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6531 February 25, 1993 National FFA Organization Awareness Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6531 of February 25, 1993
National FFA Organization Awareness Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

America’s roots run deep in agriculture. We have long prospered through the twin blessings of our natural resources and the productivity of the American farmer. Agriculture has contributed heavily to the economic and social progress of the United States, making our Nation the world’s largest exporter of food products and a generous provider of food aid around the world.

For more than two centuries, our food, agricultural, and natural resource system has been nurtured and sustained by dedicated people committed to providing safe and abundant food and fiber products. About 20 percent of the Nation’s work force is engaged in jobs related to agriculture, and annual employment openings in this industry are expected to outpace the supply of trained workers.

The education and training of agricultural workers have, therefore, long been a national priority, leading to the development of a comprehensive system of agricultural education in our public schools. The National Future Farmers of America was founded in 1928 to serve the needs of secondary students preparing for leadership roles in the science, business, and technology of agriculture. Chartered by Congress in 1950, the FFA is an integral part of public instruction in agriculture and today provides premier leadership, personal growth, and career development to its 401,574 members. Local, State, and national activities as well as award programs provide opportunities for students to apply knowledge and skills acquired through agricultural education. FFA members strive to develop agricultural leadership, cooperation, and citizenship.

The National FFA Foundation, which raises funds in support of FFA programs, represents an exemplary partnership between business and education. The National FFA Alumni Association provides support to these young men and women on local, State, and national levels.

The strategic importance of our food, agricultural, and natural resource system will grow during the coming decade. This will require even stronger leaders, more creative scientists, greater international business understanding, and increased sensitivity for consumers and the environment. These skilled professionals will chart the course of U.S. food, agricultural, and natural resources in the 1990s and beyond. The National FFA Organization, by attracting young people to agriculture and preparing them for future careers, contributes greatly to an important sector of the national economy. It is proper that we should honor the accomplishments and achievements of this fine organization.

107 STAT. 2623

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 101, has designated the week of February 21 through February 27, 1993, as “National FFA Organization Awareness Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of February 21 through February 27, 1993, as National FFA Organization Awareness Week. I encourage all Americans in rural, urban, and suburban communities to join in recognizing the achievements and contributions of the young men and women of the National FFA Organization and to observe National FFA Organization Awareness Week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

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

6532 March 5, 1993 Save Your Vision Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6532 of March 5, 1993
Save Your Vision Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Vision is a remarkable gift. Providing nearly 40 percent of all sensory input to the brain, our eyes allow us to read, drive, and experience many of life’s greatest pleasures. Vision, however, is an extremely fragile gift, one that can dim with injury or the onset of disease. Moreover, it is a gift that, with few exceptions, cannot be restored once it is lost.

Thus, given the important but delicate nature of good vision in our lives, it is tragic that each year thousands of Americans suffer vision loss that might have been prevented.

Having a periodic eye examination is an effective and simple way for most of us to prevent this tragedy from occurring in our lives. A comprehensive eye examination can provide an early warning of developing eye disease and allow an eye care professional the opportunity to initiate appropriate treatment.

Both glaucoma and diabetes are potentially blinding diseases that can be controlled and treated effectively, if detected early. However, each remains a leading cause of blindness in the United States. People at high risk for glaucoma, African Americans over the age of 40 and everyone over the age of 60, should receive an eye examination at least every two years to reduce the risk of blindness.

For people with diabetes, a regular eye examination is an absolute necessity. People with diabetes who have their eyes examined through dilated pupils at least once a year take a responsible preventive measure in protecting their vision.

107 STAT. 2624

Children also need early and regular eye examination. Even the seemingly healthiest child may have an unsuspected visual problem that needs prompt attention. A routine checkup can identify such disorders in time for effective treatment, sparing the child a lifetime of visual impairment.

Guarding against eye injuries is important for all members of our society. Both in the home and workplace, people should wear appropriate face masks, goggles, or safety glasses when working with chemicals or machinery that might be dangerous to the eyes. If possible, athletes should also wear protective eye wear, and children should be taught the basic principles of eye safety from an early age.

To encourage Americans to cherish and protect their vision, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved December 30, 1963 (77 Stat. 629; 36 U.S.C. 169a), has authorized and requested the President to proclaim the first week in March of each year as “Save Your Vision Week.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning March 7, 1993, as Save Your Vision Week. I urge all Americans to participate in the observance by making eye care and eye safety an important part of their lives. Also, I invite eye care professionals, the communications media, and all public and private organizations committed to the goal of sight conservation to join in activities that will make Americans more aware of the steps they can take to protect their vision.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6533 March 6, 1993 Irish-American Heritage Month, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6533 of March 6, 1993
Irish-American Heritage Month, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The story of the Irish in America, of those millions of Americans who trace their ancestry back to the Emerald Isle, is typical of so many American immigrants, yet is also uniquely influenced by the rich culture of Ireland. Like so many of our forebears, they came to this land seeking a better future. In the process of becoming Americans, they changed themselves, changed America, and changed the world.

By 1776, 300,000 natives of Ireland had already emigrated to the Colonies. They fought bravely in the American Revolution and helped to establish a new Nation. Eight signatories of the Declaration of Independence were of Irish origin. In the early years of the young Republic, as workers on the canals and railroads, they played a major role in the settlement of the West.

However, it was not until the great potato famine of the late 1840s that the trickle of Irish immigration became a flood. More than one million 107 STAT. 2625Irish men and women came to the United States during that period. They moved primarily into our great cities, which they quickly transformed into the bustling beehives of activity that they have been ever since.

Confronted by prejudice and sign after sign proclaiming “No Irish Need Apply,” the new immigrants immersed themselves in the politics of such cities as New York, Boston, and Chicago. In fact, the political legacy of the Irish-American community may well be the most important of all its contributions to our Nation. Presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, as well as 16 other Presidents, have proudly proclaimed their Irish-American heritage. America has been blessed by the leadership of other Irish Americans as well, including Mike Mansfield, Tip O’Neill, and Tom Foley in the Congress, and Al Smith, Ray Flynn, and Richard Daley at the State and local levels.

However, the contributions of Irish Americans go well beyond politics. In Washington, D.C., alone, James Hoban designed and supervised the construction of the White House and assisted in the construction of the Capitol; Colonel Thomas Lincoln Casey completed the construction of the Washington Monument after it had been abandoned during the Civil War; and William Wilson Corcoran founded the gallery that now bears his name.

Irish Americans have also enriched the culture of their adopted land. Whether we think of Finley Peter Dunne, who satirized politics in the early 20th century; Jimmy Breslin, who has done much the same more recently; or Eugene O’Neill, one of the great playwrights of all time, the Irish contribution to American literature is broad and deep. In the performing arts, composer George M. Cohan, dancer Gene Kelly, and actress Grace Kelly have come to symbolize America to the world.

In tribute to all Irish Americans, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 500, has designated March 1993 as “Irish-American Heritage Month” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this month.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 1993 as Irish-American Heritage Month. I urge all Americans to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6535 March 17, 1993 American Red Cross Month, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6535 of March 17, 1993
American Red Cross Month, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In time of need, millions of Americans, and others around the world, trust in the compassionate and swift assistance of the American Red Cross. Since 1881, the American Red Cross has served this Nation with tireless dedication and consummate skill in the face of natural disasters, war, and other emergencies.

Nineteen ninety-two was an extraordinary year for America and the American Red Cross. In the hurricane-ravaged neighborhoods of south Florida and the desolate villages of Somalia, in the flooded bayou country of Louisiana and alongside the raging wildfires in California, caring Red Cross workers served meals, provided shelter, furnished financial help, and offered emotional support to victims.

Hurricane Andrew, the most costly disaster in our history, cut an almost unimaginable swath of destruction through south Florida. More than 12,000 Red Cross volunteers and staff overcame enormous challenges to provide food and shelter for 170,000 people. Just four days after those relief efforts began, Typhoon Omar battered Guam with 150-107 STAT. 2627mile-an-hour winds. Two weeks later, Hurricane Iniki roared across Hawaii, the worst hurricane to hit the islands in a century. The American Red Cross, stretched to new limits, coordinated disaster relief operations that spanned half the globe. In all, 16,000 trained Red Cross disaster workers brought knowledgeable, humanitarian assistance to the victims of Andrew, Omar, and Iniki.

While the Nation focused on the aftermath of this singular wave of destruction, the American Red Cross continued its mission of helping people prevent, prepare for, and cope with emergencies. Every day, Red Cross workers in 2,600 volunteer-based chapters help the victims of single family fires, floods, tornadoes, and industrial accidents, an average of 150 incidents daily. More than 7.5 million people take Red Cross classes in water safety, first aid, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) each year. Millions also depend on Red Cross classes and educational materials for information on HIV/AIDS. The Red Cross helps to save and sustain countless lives by collecting, processing, and distributing more than half the Nation’s donated blood, the safest supply in the world. Red Cross workers serve alongside our Armed Forces wherever they are on duty, providing support and a touch of home to members and veterans of the forces and their families.

Internationally, Red Cross workers risk their lives daily to bring emergency relief to Somalia and to provide food, shelter, and medical care in the midst of brutal combat in the former Yugoslavia. The same international humanitarian spirit enables the American Red Cross to help family members send messages to prisoners of war and search for relatives separated by war or refugee movements.

Since its founding 112 years ago by Clara Barton, the American Red Cross has embodied much of what is best about Americans: their willingness to help their neighbors, to take responsibility for their communities, and to respond to the call to service. For this, the American Red Cross and its 1.4 million volunteers have earned the respect of a thankful Nation.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America and Honorary Chairman of the American Red Cross, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the month of March 1993 as American Red Cross Month. I urge all Americans to continue their generous support of the Red Cross and its chapters nationwide.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6536 March 17, 1993 National Poison Prevention Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2628 Proclamation 6536 of March 17, 1993
National Poison Prevention Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Since its inception more than three decades ago, the annual observance of National Poison Prevention Week has saved lives. Along with year-round educational programs in the public and private sectors, this annual campaign for awareness has helped to reduce dramatically the number of fatal accidental poisonings among children. In the effort to protect every child from poisoning, which is nearly always preventable, we renew our commitment to informing parents, grandparents, and other adults about the importance of protecting children in their homes. The urgency of our efforts is underscored by the fact that, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, nearly 1,000,000 children each year are exposed to potentially harmful medicines and household chemicals.

During National Poison Prevention Week, activities are coordinated by the Poison Prevention Week Council, a coalition of 37 national organizations whose members are determined to stop accidental poisonings. The Council distributes valuable information that is used by the staffs of poison control centers, pharmacists, public health officials, and others as they conduct poison prevention programs in their communities. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission provides a Commission member to serve as Secretary of the Poison Prevention Week Council each year. Since 1972, the Commission has required child-resistant packaging for certain medicines and household chemicals, preventing countless tragedies.

Every American can help to protect children with simple safety measures, such as using child-resistant packaging and securing potentially dangerous substances out of the reach of children. This week I encourage all Americans to become more aware of potential hazards in their homes and to eliminate them.

The Congress, by a joint resolution approved September 26, 1961 (75 Stat. 681), has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation designating the third week of March of each year as National Poison Prevention Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning March 21, 1993, as National Poison Prevention Week. I urge all Americans to observe this week by participating in appropriate programs and activities and by learning how to prevent accidental poisonings among children.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

Women’s History Month, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

As we celebrate Women’s History Month, we reflect on the American women who throughout history have proudly served in shaping the spirit of our Nation.

Women like Harriet Tubman, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Sojourner Truth embraced the struggle for human freedom, dignity, and justice. They opposed slavery and inequality at critical moments in history. Their courageous leadership helped pave the way for future generations who would strive to secure equal rights for women.

We are inspired by women like Jane Addams, the first female Nobel prize winner, who at the turn of the century founded Chicago’s Hull House to help newly arrived immigrants adapt to a foreign culture. We admire women such as Belva Lockwood, who became the first woman admitted to practice before the United States Supreme Court in 1879. And we cannot forget the long struggle of women like Frances Perkins, whose work to protect the health and safety of America’s workers culminated in her service as Secretary of Labor, the Nation’s first woman Cabinet officer.

These courageous and pioneering women worked tirelessly to achieve new opportunities for all. Today, empowered by this great legacy, American women serve in every aspect of American life, from social services to space exploration. The opportunities for American women are growing, and their efforts as mothers and volunteers, corporate executives and senators, police officers and administrators, construction workers and cab drivers, and teachers and scientists enrich all of us and make our country great. Women continue to strengthen our Nation’s social fabric as leaders in the home, the community, the work-place, and the government.

The challenges facing women in the next century are many. Families are increasingly called upon to care for their grown children and elderly relatives. Many women are compelled to support families as single parents. The social stresses of our era demand the incredible resourcefulness, devotion, and energy of millions of women. Through their endeavors, women are producing a heightened national consciousness and more responsive public policies that meet the needs of our people. As we honor the courageous legacy of our Nation’s women, we celebrate the diversity of their backgrounds, their talents, and their contributions, which breathe life into our democracy and sustain our prosperity.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 1993 as Women’s History Month. I invite all Americans to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

6538 March 20, 1993 National Agriculture Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6538 of March 20, 1993
National Agriculture Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

On this first day of spring, it is appropriate that we reflect on America’s agricultural heritage. Our history and our future are intertwined with the farmland and the farmers who help nourish and clothe us. Farming, an integral and pervasive aspect of our economy, is critically important in the daily lives of all Americans.

In our markets, farmers offer us the world’s safest and most diverse food supply. But agriculture also touches every other facet of our lives: from shirts to schoolbooks, from prescription drugs to the lumber in our homes. The quality of our lives is due in large measure to the efficient productivity of agricultural workers.

Agriculture, America’s number one industry, provides 21 million jobs and is the single largest contributor to our net trade balance. The average American farmer produces enough every year to feed and clothe 129 other people.

As efficient and productive as they are in meeting our citizens’ basic needs, our farmers have contributed just as much to our culture. They helped found and build our Nation, and our calendar and holidays still reflect the seasons around which they weave their lives. When American food alleviates the hunger of starving children at home or abroad, we are all enriched. Farmers and farmworkers have always exemplified the virtues of patient hard work, of respect for the land, with an understanding of our responsibility as stewards of the Earth, of careful management of limited resources, and of resiliency in the face of natural disasters.

On this day, I ask all Americans to consider our reliance on agriculture—the farmers, scientists, processors, shippers, grocers, and others who spend their days providing us with the basics of a good life.

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 36, has designated March 20, 1993, as “National Agriculture Day” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 20, 1993, as National Agriculture Day. I urge the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6539 March 25, 1993 Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2631 Proclamation 6539 of March 25, 1993
Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The people and Government of the United States join the people and Government of Greece in celebrating Greek Independence Day. The close and cordial ties between our nations are built upon the solid foundation of a common love of democratic values, strong cultural ties between our peoples, and a respect for human rights. Greek influence on American culture extends from the ideas of the great Hellenic thinkers to the many important contributions of Greek Americans today. These ties continue to strengthen the relationship between our nations and provide a solid and promising basis for the future.

Two thousand and five hundred years ago, Cleisthenes succeeded in instituting a series of reforms in Athens and across the Peninsula of Attica that expanded the rule of government to a much broader group of citizens. The concept of democracy was thus created and embodied in a series of rights and laws. The personal freedom that resulted from these reforms sparked a period of cultural growth in philosophy and the arts to which Western culture is eternally indebted.

The United States is proud to acknowledge the enormous debt it owes to the Greek philosophers and politicians. In creating a new Nation, the American Founding Fathers drew upon the Greek writings for inspiration as to the purpose of government and in order to define the common good of society. Hellenic ideals have also shaped our democracy through architecture. Across our Nation and especially in the Nation’s Capital, the seats of representative government are housed in buildings inspired by the grand proportions and beautiful lines of Greek temples. In both nations, these buildings remind us of the ideals of truth, justice, and faith in the human ability on which our societies are founded.

Our nations share not only the common bond of democratic philosophy but also the willingness to fight for self-determination and freedom and to be vigilant in protecting these hard-won rights. The Greek struggle for independence 172 years ago has long been admired by American citizens. In this century, the United States and Greece joined together to oppose threats to our democratic values from fascism and communism.

It is fitting, therefore, that our two great democracies pause to realize how much they have benefited and continue to benefit from each other. As part of this effort, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the Ministry of Culture of Greece have gathered a landmark exhibit of sculptures from the 5th century B.C. These sculptures, many of which have never left Greek soil, document in art the birth of the concept of the individual. In return for these gracious loans from Greece, the two American museums have lent more than 70 major paintings from their permanent collections for an exhibit at the National Gallery of Greece in Athens. This summer the National Archives will also display artifacts from the 5th century B.C. which demonstrate the great degree of participation of 107 STAT. 2632Athenians in their government. It is appropriate that our own Constitution will be juxtaposed against these artifacts.

In recognition of the close bond that has been forged between the nations and peoples of the United States and Greece, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 22, has designated March 25th as “Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 25, 1993, as Greek Independence Day: A National Day of Celebration of Greek and American Democracy. I call upon all Americans to observe this day, the 172nd anniversary of the beginning of the Greek revolution against the Ottoman Empire, with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities in honor of the Greek people and Greek independence.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A., 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

As America approaches a new century, we face hard truths and must take strong steps. As a Nation, we must provide hope for all Americans and opportunity for them to compete and to succeed. A sound, well-rounded education that prepares students for achievement and success is a moral imperative and an economic necessity.

The United States must work to improve the quality of education for all students, to ensure access and opportunity, and to build public-private partnerships, all of which will help students meet high standards of achievement. Accomplishing that mission will require the involvement of everyone—not just teachers and administrators, but every person, every family, and every community. We must take responsibility for ensuring the success of generations to follow. I commend the leadership and commitment of those inside and outside of schools who are working each day to promote and encourage excellence in education for all Americans.

Our Founders saw themselves in the light of posterity. We must do the same. John Kennedy reminded us that civilization is a race between education and catastrophe—and it is up to us to determine the winner. To recognize the work of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the leader of the Lubavitch movement, on the occasion of his 91st birthday on April 2, 1993, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 150, has des-107 STAT. 2633ignated April 2, 1993, as “Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A.” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW. THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim April 2, 1993, as Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A. I call upon the people of the United States, government officials, educators, and volunteers to observe the day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

As Americans enter a new era that holds prospects for greater international cooperation and the expansion of democracy’s reach, we are deeply indebted to the Armed Forces of the United States. We recognize that their service helped our Nation preserve liberty through two World Wars and the testing regional conflicts of the Cold War era and since. We remember how their sacrifices helped to maintain our way of life and safeguard freedom’s cause.

The sacrifices made by our military personnel take many forms, from their willingness to serve, to their countless acts of selfless courage, to the expenditure by hundreds of thousands in this century of that last, full measure of devotion in behalf of their country. Today, we honor the particular sacrifice of the thousands of Americans who have been captured and held as prisoners of war—in Europe and the Pacific, in Korea and Vietnam, in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm, and elsewhere.

We know that many of our men and women in uniform have been subject to brutal torture and inhumane deprivation. The treatment they endured too often violated fundamental standards of morality and stood in stark contravention of international treaties and customs governing the treatment of prisoners of war. Many of these brave Americans were disabled or died as a result of such treatment. Their experiences underscore our debt to those who place their lives in harm’s way and stand willing to trade their liberty for ours. As a Nation, we must always remember the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform and their families.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested Ln me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 9, 1993, as National Former Prisoner of War Recognition Day. I urge all Americans to join in honoring all members of the Armed Forces of the United 107 STAT. 2634States who have been held prisoners of war. I also encourage all Americans to join in saluting these individuals for their great sacrifices. Finally, I call on State and local officials, as well as private organizations, to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6542 April 9, 1993 National Preschool Immunization Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6542 of April 9, 1993
National Preschool Immunization Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

I believe that each child in this country must have the opportunity to live a healthy and full life. Therefore, I am taking dramatic steps to ensure that all children are fully immunized at the earliest appropriate age against preventable, infectious diseases.

Immunizations save lives, prevent suffering, and allow significant savings in health care costs. Ironically, in this country, which develops and produces the majority of the world’s vaccines, current immunization levels among two-year-olds fall between just 37 and 56 percent. In the recent measles epidemic, for example, an estimated one-half of the reported cases occurred among unvaccinated preschool children. Today, measles vaccine coverage is reported to be as low as 50 percent among two-year-olds in some inner-city populations.

My Administration has launched a comprehensive initiative on immunization, including new funding for immunization programs in cities throughout the United States. In addition, I have submitted legislation that, if passed, would provide for free vaccinations to all children, a new tracking system to help inform parents when immunization is needed, new avenues of outreach to parents, and other necessary measures designed to create a comprehensive immunization program.

We must expand our efforts to every community and demand the full attention and cooperation of everyone in our society in order to find solutions to our problems. Much is being done. Federal, State, and local governments are devising innovative ways to deliver vaccines at more reasonable costs. We are attempting to make providers more sensitive to the need to eliminate barriers and problems that cause children to miss immunizations. New partnerships and coalitions are being formed between the public and private sectors.

Parents and adults responsible for safeguarding our youngest children must be made aware of the seriousness of the problem and act appropriately. More than 80 percent of all recommended vaccinations should be given before children are two years old—well before they start school.

We must acknowledge this problem, accept our individual and collective responsibilities, and get the job done.

107 STAT. 2635

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the last full week of April as National Preschool Immunization Week, beginning with April 1993. I call upon all Americans, especially parents and health care providers, to do their part to help in this fight and to observe this week annually with appropriate activities and recognition ceremonies.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6543 April 9, 1993 To Extend Special Rules of Origin Applicable to Certain Textile Articles Woven or Knitted in Canada Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6543 of April 9, 1993
To Extend Special Rules of Origin Applicable to Certain Textile Articles Woven or Knitted in Canada By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Pursuant to section 202(d)(1) of the United States-Canada Free-Trade Agreement Implementation Act of 1988, Public Law 100–449 (“CFTA Act”), the President is authorized to proclaim, as a part of the Harmonized System (“HS”), the rules of origin set forth in Annex 301.2 of the United States-Canada Free-Trade Agreement (“CFTA”). These annex rules of origin were incorporated in general note 3(c)(vii)(R) to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTS”) by Proclamation No. 5923 of December 14, 1988. 2. General note 3(c)(vii)(R)(11)(rr) to the HTS, which incorporates the rules of origin set forth in paragraph 18, section XI, of CFTA Annex 301.2 (“paragraph 18”), provides mat non-wool fabric and non-wool made-up textile articles, provided for in specified HS chapters, that are woven or knitted in Canada from yam produced or obtained in a third country, upon meeting other applicable conditions for preferred tariff treatment under the CFTA, shall be afforded such preferential tariff treatment to the extent of the annual quantity set forth in that note. That note also provides that, after the specified quantity of such goods has been entered in an annual period, subsequent entries shall be subject to most-favored-nation rates of duty for the remainder of that annual period. These quantitative limitations expired on December 31, 1992. Paragraph 18 further provides that the Parties agree to revisit, in consultation with representatives of the industries concerned, the quantitative element of the rule for such goods 2 years after the CFTA’s entry into force, in order to arrive at a mutually satisfactory resolution, taking into account the availability of yams in both countries. These discussions have not yet been concluded. 3. Section 202(d)(2) of the CFTA Act authorizes the President, subject to the consultation and lay-over requirements of section 103 of the CFTA Act, to proclaim such modifications to the rules as may from time to time be agreed to by the United States and Canada. Accord-107 STAT. 2636ingly, in accordance with an agreement between the United States and Canada, I have decided to extend the application of the quantitative limits provided in paragraph 18 through the close of December 31, 1993, unless the United States and Canada reach an earlier resolution regarding quantitative limits for these goods. The consultation and lay-over requirements of section 103 of the CFTA have been carried out. 4. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483) (“Trade Act”), authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of other Acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including the removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import restriction.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited to section 202 of the CFTA Act and section 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:

(1) In order to extend by 1 year the quantitative provisions of paragraph 18, the HTS is modified by striking out “1992” from general note 3(c)(vii)(R)(11)(rr) and by inserting in lieu thereof ”1993”. (2) Any provisions of previous proclamations inconsistent with the provisions of this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. (3) The modifications made by paragraph (1) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to goods entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after January 1, 1993.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON
6544 April 13, 1993 To Modify Duty-Free Treatment Under the Andean Trade Preference Act, To Modify the Generalized System of Preferences, and for Other Purposes Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6544 of April 13, 1993
To Modify Duty-Free Treatment Under the Andean Trade Preference Act, To Modify the Generalized System of Preferences, and for Other Purposes By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Sections 202 and 204 of the Andean Trade Preference Act (“ATPA”) (19 U.S.C. 3201 and 3203) confer authority upon the President to proclaim duty-free treatment for all eligible articles, and duty reductions for certain other articles, that are the product of any country designated as a “beneficiary country” in accordance with the provisions of section 203 of the ATPA (19 U.S.C. 3202). Pursuant to section 203(b)(2) of the ATPA (19 U.S.C. 3202(b)(2)), I have notified the House of Representatives and the Senate of my intention to designate Ecuador as a beneficiary country for purposes of the ATPA, together with the considerations entering into such decision. I hereby designate Ecuador as a ben-107 STAT. 2637eficiary country under the ATPA, and in order to effect this designation in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTS”), I have decided that it is necessary to modify general note 3(c)(ix) to the HTS. 2. Section 204(b) of the ATPA (19 U.S.C. 3203(b)) provides that the President may not designate certain enumerated product categories as articles eligible for duty-free treatment under the ATPA, including “textile and apparel articles which are subject to textile agreements.” In Proclamation 6455 of July 2, 1992, certain HTS provisions encompassing textile and apparel articles which are subject to textile agreements were inadvertently designated as covering goods eligible for duty-free treatment under the ATPA. Therefore, in accordance with section 204(b) of the ATPA, I have decided that it is necessary and appropriate to delete the ATPA designation for these provisions. 3. Section 204(c) of the ATPA (19 U.S.C. 3203(c)) authorizes the President to proclaim reductions in the rates of duty on certain articles that are the product of any beneficiary country and that were not designated on August 5, 1983, as eligible articles for purposes of the Generalized System of Preferences (“GSP”) under title V of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2461 et seq.) (the “Trade Act”). In accordance with section 204(c) of the ATPA, I have decided that it is necessary and appropriate to provide for duty reductions under the ATPA for the goods of a certain subheading. 4. Section 502 of the Trade Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2462), authorizes the President to designate the countries that will be beneficiary developing countries for purposes of the GSP. Such countries are entitled to duty-free entry of eligible articles imported directly therefrom into the customs territory of the United States (19 U.S.C. 2461). Among the countries previously designated as a GSP beneficiary is Czechoslovakia, which was included in the enumeration in HTS general note 3(c)(ii)(A) of independent countries eligible for benefits of the GSP. Czechoslovakia, as of January 1, 1993, has separated into two independent republics, the Czech Republic and Slovakia. In light of the separation of Czechoslovakia into two countries, and having due regard for the eligibility criteria set forth in section 502 of the Trade Act, I hereby designate each of the Czech Republic and Slovakia as beneficiary developing countries for purposes of the GSP. 5. Proclamation 6517 of December 23, 1992, withdrew the duty-free treatment accorded under the GSP to imports of sulfanilic acid, provided for in HTS subheading 2921.42.24. Through typographical and clerical error, the HTS subheadings created in the annex to Proclamation 6517 to effect the aforementioned withdrawal were not properly structured and numbered. Therefore, I have decided that it is necessary and appropriate to modify the HTS to correct these errors. 6. Proclamation 6179 of September 13, 1990, modified the HTS to provide for modification of tariffs and quotas on certain sugars, syrups, and molasses. Through an error, conforming changes to additional U.S. note 2 to chapter 17 of the HTS were omitted. Therefore, I have decided that it is necessary and appropriate to modify the HTS to provide for such conforming changes. 7. Proclamation 6515 of December 16, 1992, among other actions, modified the HTS to conform with amendments made to the International Convention on the Harmonized Commodity Description and 107 STAT. 2638Coding System. A conforming change to the HTS was omitted. Therefore, I have decided that it is necessary and appropriate to modify the HTS to provide for such a conforming change. 8. The President, acting through duly empowered representatives, entered into negotiations with representatives of the Governments of certain republics of the former Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (“USSR”) to conclude agreements on trade relations, including non-discriminatory treatment, between the United States and the individual republics. Such agreements, conducted in accordance with the requirements of section 405(b) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2435(b)), were signed by representatives of the United States and of certain republics and have taken effect upon dates previously announced by the United States Trade Representative (“USTR”). Other republics of the former USSR have not yet concluded such trade agreements with the United States. General note 3(b) to the HTS, setting forth an enumeration of those countries whose products are subject to the rates of duty set forth in column 2 of the HTS, includes in this enumeration “Union of Soviet Socialist Republics”, causing confusion in the trading community and complicating the administration of the HTS. Accordingly, I have decided that it is appropriate to delete the name “Union of Soviet Socialist Republics” from the enumeration in HTS general note 3(b) and to insert in lieu thereof the names of the republics whose products have not yet been accorded nondiscriminatory treatment. 9. Section 604 of the Trade Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the relevant provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including the removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import restriction.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited to the ATPA, and sections 405(b), 502, and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:

(1) General note 3(c)(ix)(A) to the HTS is modified by inserting in alphabetical sequence “Ecuador”, which is hereby designated as a beneficiary country under the ATPA. (2) In order to remove eligibility under the ATPA for certain textile and apparel provisions and to provide duty reductions for a certain subheading, the HTS is modified as provided for in Annex I. (3) General note 3(c)(ii)(A) to the HTS, enumerating those countries and areas eligible for benefits of the GSP, is amended by deleting “Czechoslovakia” from the list of independent countries and inserting in lieu thereof, in alphabetical sequence, “Czech Republic” and “Slovakia”. (4) In order to correct certain technical errors, the HTS is modified as provided for in Annex II. (5) Additional U.S. note 2 to chapter 17 is modified by deleting “1701.91.20,” and inserting “1701.91.21, 1701.91.22,” in lieu thereof and by deleting “1702.90.30, 1806.10.40 and 2106.90.10,” and inserting “1702.90.31, 1702.90.32, 1806.10.41, 1806.10.42, 2106.90.11 and 2106.90.12,” in lieu thereof. 107 STAT. 2639 (6) The article description for HTS subheading 9905.39.10 is modified by deleting “3926.90.90” and inserting “3926.90.95” in lieu thereof. (7) General note 3(b) to the HTS is modified by deleting “Union of Soviet Socialist Republics” and by inserting in alphabetical sequence in lieu thereof “Azerbaijan”, “Georgia”, “Tajikistan”, “Turkmenistan”, and “Uzbekistan”. (8) Upon notice by the USTR in the Federal Register that a trade agreement has been concluded between the United States and a republic listed in paragraph (7) of this proclamation and general note 3(b) to the HTS, such republic shall be deleted from general note 3(b) as of the date announced by the USTR as the effective date of such trade agreement. (9) Any provisions of previous proclamations inconsistent with the provisions of this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. (10) (a) The modifications made by paragraph (1) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 15 days after the date of publication of this proclamation in the Federal Register. (b) The modifications made by paragraph (2) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the dates set forth in Annex I to this proclamation. (c) The modifications made by paragraph (3) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles both: (i) imported on or after January 1, 1976, and (ii) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after January 1, 1993. (d) The modifications made by paragraph (4) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles both: (i) imported on or after January 1, 1976, and (ii) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after January 12, 1993. (e) The modifications made by paragraph (5) of this proclamation shall be effective October 1, 1990. (f) The modifications made by paragraph (6) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to goods originating in the territory of Canada which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after January 1, 1993. (g) The modifications made by paragraph (7) of this proclamation shall be effective on the date of signature of this proclamation. (h) The modifications made by paragraph (8) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the date announced by the USTR as the effective date.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6545 April 14, 1993 Pan American Day and Pan American Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6545 of April 14, 1993
Pan American Day and Pan American Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Five hundred years after the first Europeans began exploring the Americas, it is appropriate to reflect on our hemisphere’s unique role in this rapidly changing world and to rediscover the peoples of the Americas. On Pan American Day, the people of the Americas pledge to renew the ties that make our relationship unique. We cherish our hemisphere’s proud history as we look forward to a new era of cooperation between our countries and cultures.

We have seen remarkable changes around the globe. The defeat of totalitarianism and the sweep of democratic and free market reforms have brought new opportunities and new challenges to the world. Progress toward political, economic, and social change has been dramatic in our own hemisphere.

From North to South, more and more citizens of the Americas are enjoying the benefits of liberty. Fundamental principles of democracy, including respect for human rights, continue to be embraced. It is our hope that all nations of the Americas will join in this democratic revolution and at last realize the dream of a hemisphere of democratic nations.

The need for international cooperation is greater than ever, because we face many difficult issues in this era: drug trafficking, weapons proliferation, and environmental degradation. Through a renewed partnership between nations of this hemisphere, we can develop innovative means to combat such problems, thus ensuring lasting security for future generations.

A century ago, representatives of the nations of this hemisphere met in Washington to establish the International Union of the American Republics. Accepting the principles of democracy, peace, security, and prosperity, these member nations made a firm commitment to mutual cooperation throughout the hemisphere. Its successor, the Organization of American States, has furthered this commitment. In the words of the Charter of the Organization of American States, “[the] historic mission of America is to offer to man a land of liberty.” I applaud and encourage the activity of the Organization of American States in this pursuit to ensure that worldwide changes create a hemisphere of peace and prosperity.

We can take great pride in what the Americas have already achieved. But there is much work to be done. All Americans from North to South 107 STAT. 2642should renew their commitment to fulfilling our forefathers’ vision of an inter-America system. The hemisphere of George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, of Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin, establishes an example of freedom for the rest of the world. With democracy as the cornerstone of a new working partnership, we can achieve a revolutionary level of cooperation among the countries of America.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Wednesday, April 14, 1993, as “Pan American Day” and the week of April 11 through April 17, 1993, as “Pan American Week.” I urge the Governors of the 50 States, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and officials of other areas under the flag of the United States of America to honor these observances with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6546 April 17, 1993 National Volunteer Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6546 of April 17, 1993
National Volunteer Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The spirit of service is embodied in the people of America. With the knowledge that each of us benefits when we all work together, and with the willingness to act on that knowledge, we have always strived to bring out the best in ourselves and in our country. This tradition of service sustains and defines our citizenship and our democracy. Our shared institutions and values unite this country and make it great. None of these runs deeper than the spirit of service.

As they have throughout history, volunteers today are lifting up America. Millions of citizens are giving of themselves to help provide a better future for all Americans. The many forms of service are as diverse as the American people: a homemaker organizing a neighborhood patrol, a retired firefighter becoming a foster grandparent, a teenager volunteering in a health clinic, or a small child designing a recycling program. A uniquely American spirit unites all of these efforts.

In our smallest counties and in our largest cities—in every community across the land—citizens are renewing America through service. Alone, any one effort can make a significant impact. Together, they can change our country forever—not only through the material improvements they create but also through the spiritual transformation they foster.

This week, then, it is fitting that we honor the millions of people who devote themselves to helping others. But this year, let us do more than 107 STAT. 2643recognize their efforts. Let us renew our spirit of volunteerism and rededicate ourselves to serving our fellow Americans.

This is a time to rekindle the spirit of service. Old and young, rich and poor, all of us have roles to play in making our Nation stronger. We must serve in order to allow our children—and future generations—to live up to their full potential. Just as important, we must serve in order to be our best as Americans and as human beings.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby designate the week beginning April 18, 1993, as National Volunteer Week. I ask all Americans to join in commending the contributions volunteers make to our Nation. I urge every citizen to consider how, in our own ways, we can renew our Nation’s hope, revitalize our people’s spirit, and reclaim our country’s promise.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6547 April 22, 1993 National Credit Education Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6547 of April 22, 1993
National Credit Education Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Consumer credit is an integral part of the free enterprise economy of the United States. The vast array of credit products has expanded opportunities for consumers. At the same time, this trend has increased consumers’ need for simple, understandable information about their options. Informed consumers who know their choices, rights, and responsibilities are better able to choose and use credit wisely. The prudent use of credit increases economic stability and enhances market competition.

The theme of this year’s observance, “Good Credit—Unlimited Opportunities,” recognizes that consumers, with careful budgeting and planning, can benefit from increased choices and opportunities in today’s marketplace. Credit education is crucial to helping the public use credit wisely and responsibly. A good credit record can help a consumer obtain a job, finance a child’s education, and obtain a mortgage to buy a home.

Tests of adults and high school students across the Nation show that consumers in the United States are not prepared adequately to deal with complex consumer credit choices. Even though the rights of consumers in credit transactions are guaranteed in Federal and State laws, most consumers have little understanding of their rights or of the agencies responsible for protecting these rights. Consumers clearly can benefit a great deal from expanded consumer credit education efforts.

107 STAT. 2644

In recognition of the importance of the prudent use of credit, the Congress, by Public Law 102—483, has designated the week beginning April 18, 1993, as “National Credit Education Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning April 18, 1993, as National Credit Education Week. I encourage all Americans— particularly business people, educators, public officials, consumer advocates, community organizations, and members of the media—to observe this week with appropriate programs and activities to educate and inform consumers about their credit rights and responsibilities and about the benefits of the wise use of credit.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6548 April 23, 1993 Nancy Moore Thurmond National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6548 of April 23, 1993
Nancy Moore Thurmond National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

On April 14, 1993, the promising life of Nancy Moore Thurmond was taken in an auto accident. In the heartbreaking moments after her death, Nancy’s parents, Senator Strom Thurmond and his wife Nancy, made the decision that their daughter’s organs should be donated to others. Through this selfless act, the Thurmonds redeemed the promise of Nancy Moore Thurmond’s youth and helped to sustain the lives of other human beings. In memory of Nancy, we commit ourselves this week to understanding what the donation of organs can mean.

In the history of medicine, few advances have been more awe-inspiring than successful organ and tissue transplants. In recent years we have seen the miracle of terminally ill patients receiving a second chance at life with a new heart, liver, lung, or kidney. We have seen children with leukemia regain their health through bone marrow transplants; we have witnessed the restoration of sight to the blind through new corneas; and we have seen thousands of Americans resuming normal lives after receiving a transplanted organ or tissue. But many others still wait, and many die waiting for a suitable organ to become available.

Today there are more than 30,000 patients on the national transplant waiting list, and a new patient is added to the list every 20 minutes. The need for organs far surpasses the number donated each year. We must increase public awareness of the successes of transplantation and the urgent need for increased donation. The American public needs to know that by completing an organ donor card and carrying it, and by 107 STAT. 2645making their families aware of their wishes to donate, they may give the gift of life to others.

Americans are a caring and giving people. Many Americans who have lost their loved ones in tragic accidents have found some measure of comfort in knowing that despite their loss, others may live. The Thurmond family can take solace in the knowledge that their beautiful daughter, Nancy Moore Thurmond, gave life to others.

To honor Nancy Moore Thurmond, and to focus public attention on the desperate need for organ donors, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 66, has designated the week beginning April 18, 1993, as “Nancy Moore Thurmond National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of April 18 through April 24, 1993, as Nancy Moore Thurmond National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week. I urge all health care professionals, educators, the media, public and private organizations concerned with organ donation and transplantation, and all Americans to join me in supporting this humanitarian action. In the memory of their loved ones, and in the life they have shared with others, Nancy Thurmond and all other organ donors will live on.

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

6549 April 23, 1993 Cancer Control Month, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6549 of April 23, 1993
Cancer Control Month, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Last year, more than 1.1 million Americans were likely to develop cancer. Another 520,000 were likely to die from the disease.

Cancer remains the second leading cause of death among women in the United States, accounting for approximately 245,000 deaths in 1992. Breast cancer is now the leading cause of death in women ages 40 to 44. Prostate cancer accounted for approximately 132,000 new cases of cancer in men in 1992 and is second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of death for men. No one of any race, age, gender, or socio-economic status is immune to the many forms of this deadly disease.

The National Cancer Institute, through its nationwide Cancer Information Service, and the American Cancer Society, through its national programs and many local offices, reach millions of people with information about disease prevention. Community service and outreach efforts promote early detection of breast and cervical cancer and increase awareness of the risks of skin cancer.

107 STAT. 2646

Every American should understand that the ability to destroy cancer relies on detection in its early stages. Outreach efforts are also vital in informing our citizens of the dangers of tobacco use, of the importance of a healthy diet, and of the need to maintain a desirable weight.

Fewer Americans smoke now than in 1965, and between 1964 and 1987, three-quarters of a million smoking-related deaths were avoided. The general population has become increasingly aware of the dangers of environmental exposure, poor dietary habits, and not seeking periodic examinations for early detection and treatment.

We are fortunate to live at a time when early detection techniques are improving rapidly. By investing in science and technologies, we all will benefit from medical and scientific advances in disease prevention and treatment. Even the development of a vaccine to prevent cancer may be possible in the future.

Although significant progress has been made in combatting the disease, we must renew our commitment to the work that still must be done. Through an integrated system of public education and research, we can constantly improve cancer prevention and control.

In 1938, the Congress of the United States passed a joint resolution (52 Stat. 148; 36 U.S.C. 150) requesting the President to issue an annual proclamation declaring April as “Cancer Control Month.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of April 1993 as Cancer Control Month. I invite the Governors of the 50 States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Mayor of the District of Columbia, and the appropriate officials of all other areas under the American flag to issue similar proclamations. I also ask health care professionals, private industry, community groups, insurance companies, and all other interested organizations and individual citizens to unite to publicly re-affirm our Nation’s continuing commitment to controlling cancer.

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

6550 April 28, 1993 Jewish Heritage Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6550 of April 28, 1993
Jewish Heritage Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The essence of America’s greatness has always been the diversity of its people. From the times of native settlement through the immigration of people from hundreds of other countries, the United States has gained immeasurably from the strengths of the peoples who have come to our shores. The Jewish community is an important part of this legacy.

107 STAT. 2647

Jewish citizens have contributed their knowledge and skills to every field of endeavor, including education, business, industry, science, and the arts. Their names are permanently etched in America’s history books, and the Jewish community’s rich heritage and culture pervade all aspects of American society.

Throughout the years, immigrating to America meant educational and economic opportunity, as well as freedom from oppression, for the Jewish people. For people who suffered under the yoke of dictators and ethnic hatred, America’s democracy offered a chance for political involvement and religious liberty.

By wagon and train, by horseback and all other means of conveyance, the Jewish people have traveled across the vast expanse of America to create prosperous and rewarding lives for themselves. In the process, they have improved the social, political, and economic fabric of our Nation. To celebrate these contributions and recognize the people, traditions, and culture of the Jewish faith, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 30, has designated the week of April 25, 1993, through May 2, 1993, as “Jewish Heritage Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of April 25, 1993, through May 2, 1993, as Jewish Heritage Week. I call upon the people of the United States to observe the week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6551 April 28, 1993 National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6551 of April 28, 1993
National Crime Victims’ Rights Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Every day, thousands of men, women, and children are murdered, raped, robbed, beaten, or abused. They are the innocent victims of crime in the streets, towns, and homes of America.

Fortunately, crime victims in this country are not left alone to try to recover from the physical, emotional, and financial distress of victimization. Thousands of dedicated Americans are working tirelessly at the Federal, State, and local levels to provide comfort and financial assistance and to advocate for fair treatment. These advocates help the innocent victims of crime to recover from the trauma of victimization and to navigate the often emotionally difficult criminal justice process. “National Crime Victims’ Rights Week” provides a special opportunity for us to demonstrate our appreciation to these selfless advocates and to renew our commitment to the needs and rights of crime victims.

107 STAT. 2648

Much has been accomplished during the past two decades to institutionalize victims’ rights in this country. Bills of rights have been enacted at the Federal level and by 49 State governments to codify certain essential protections for victims. All 50 States now have crime victim compensation programs. Federal assistance under the Victims of Crime Act continues to supplement State crime victim compensation programs, support programs that provide direct assistance to crime victims, establish assistance for Native Americans who have been victimized, and provide training to increase the sensitivity of criminal justice practitioners to the special needs of crime victims.

While these gains are significant, there is still much that must be done to combat the crime trends that further threaten our communities. We must continue to work together to prevent crime and to protect ourselves, our families, and our fellow Americans from violence. We must work to provide opportunity where despair reigns. We must work together to ensure that hardened criminals who prey upon the innocent receive punishment commensurate with the harm—physical, emotional, and financial—that they have inflicted. And we must continue to work together to ensure that the innocent victims of crime receive the services they need and fair treatment by our Nation’s criminal justice system.

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 62, has designated the week of April 25 through May 1, 1993, as National Crime Victims’ Rights Week and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of April 25 through May 1, 1993, as National Crime Victims’ Rights Week. I urge all Americans to join in honoring those who work in behalf of crime victims and their families and to commit themselves to working together with their neighbors for safer streets, safer schools, and brighter tomorrows for all our citizens.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6552 April 28, 1993 Death of Cesar Chavez Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6552 of April 28, 1993
Death of Cesar Chavez By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Cesar Chavez came from the humble yet proud beginnings of a migrant worker to lead those same workers in a movement that irreversibly shaped our Nation and brought justice and dignity to thousands. After the Depression forced young Cesar and his family from their ranch, he began working in the fields at an early age. His family traveled throughout California following the seasonal work, and he attended nearly 70 schools before dropping out to help support his family. Al-107 STAT. 2649though his formal education ended after the seventh grade, Cesar learned much from the courageous example of his parents. Often among the first to resist exploitation and to stand up to injustice, they instilled in Cesar a profound respect for the intrinsic value of each human person, and a fervent desire to protect that value. Inspired by the teachings of a Catholic priest and by the writings of Ghandi and other great civil leaders, Cesar rose to become one of the great labor leaders of our time.

The United Farm Workers, the union he founded and led for almost three decades, became a symbol of empowerment and pride for many workers. Cesar’s innate understanding of the problems facing migrant workers allowed him to organize thousands of farm workers across the Nation. With natural leadership and unflagging determination, he achieved real progress where others had failed.

His insistence on nonviolent tactics stood in stark contrast to the bitterness and brutality that were used in resistance. The strength of his vision and the power of his leadership enabled him to take his struggle directly to the American people. He focused our Nation’s attention on the economic and social plight of migrant farm workers and, in the process, taught us how injustice anywhere affects us everywhere.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, in tribute to the memory of Cesar Chavez, do hereby call upon the citizens of this great Nation to reflect on and honor the life of this distinguished leader, veteran, and American.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6553 April 30, 1993 National Day of Prayer, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6553 of April 30, 1993
National Day of Prayer, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The American people were the first to define a nation in terms of both spirituality and human liberty. Throughout our Nation’s history, America has been a beacon for millions in search of spiritual and religious freedom. Immigrants have come to the United States seeking not just freedom from persecution and discrimination, but also freedom for the right of self-determination. On this National Day of Prayer, we reaffirm this fundamental freedom of religion that has made our Nation so strong.

Thomas Jefferson understood the greater purpose of the liberty that our Founding Fathers sought during the creation of our Nation. Although it was against the British that the colonists fought for political rights, the true source of the rights of man was clearly stated in the Declara-107 STAT. 2650tion of Independence. Jefferson wrote that all humans are “endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights . . . .” It was self-evident to him that denying these rights was wrong and that he and others must struggle to win what was theirs.

The epic struggle of the Revolutionary War and the vigilance that the protection of our rights has required have embedded in our Nation a profound understanding of the true meaning and value of our freedom. With the rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness comes the duty to use those rights for the good of humankind. This belief is fundamental to the American tradition. The result of our Founding Fathers’ conception of a state created by man through the responsible use of God-given rights is a Nation of unparalleled freedom and dazzling diversity.

Today we face great challenges. The diversity that gives us so much strength is often seen as a source of division. We are searching for solutions to the difficult challenges of providing a safe and rewarding future for our children, securing adequate health care for our people, and of building good, nurturing communities.

Through prayer our people take a moment away from the concerns of everyday life to understand the greater power that gives us guidance. We come together in an act common to all religions. Prayer gives us a quiet space to remember and contemplate the greater purpose of the activity that fills our lives. As a Nation, we understand the common bonds we all share, and we recommit ourselves to serving a greater good. Prayer enables us to rejoice in our freedoms and understand the implicit responsibility that accompanies them. We return to the guiding vision that gives our Nation so much vitality.

By joint resolution of the Congress, approved April 17, 1952, the people have recognized the role of spiritual reaffirmation and prayer in our history by setting aside a particular day each year as a “National Day of Prayer.” Since 1952, each President has proclaimed an annual National Day of Prayer, resuming the tradition begun by our Founding Fathers in 1776. By Public Law 100–307, the first Thursday in May of each year has been set aside as a National Day of Prayer.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 6, 1993, as a National Day of Prayer. I call upon the citizens of this great Nation to pray, each after his or her own manner, to remember those who are in need, to achieve patience in tribulation, to resolve the problems that divide us, to rejoice in hope, and to express thanks for the abundance we have experienced throughout our history.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6554 April 30, 1993 National Arbor Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2651 Proclamation 6554 of April 30, 1993
National Arbor Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

It is proper that we celebrate America’s forests, which provide us with a link to our past, a thriving ecosystem, and indispensable resources that are vital to our economy.

Trees are one of the symbols of our culture. Our forebears explored America’s forests; lived, hunted, and fought in them; and celebrated them in art, music, folktales, and literature. Our traditions speak of the Tree of Life, just as Thomas Paine spoke of the Tree of Liberty. Paul Bunyan and Babe made their living in the forest, and Huck Finn used trees to make his wooden raft to ride down the Mississippi River on his great American adventure. Today, a walk through the woods or a city park reminds us of our country’s special ties to the land we inherited.

Our trees are valuable protectors of our ecosystem. They provide a thriving habitat for animal and plant life; their roots curb soil erosion; their leaves freshen our air by providing oxygen; and their branches shelter us from the sun and the wind.

On Arbor Day, we also recognize those whose lives and livelihoods are intertwined with our forests. Generations of Americans have depended on forests for the lumber to build houses and the fuel to heat their homes. Many Americans continue to harvest lumber and produce wood products, foresters help us manage our forests wisely, and civic associations help ensure the preservation of our woodlands.

Despite the critical importance of our forests, we have not always been diligent stewards of our inheritance. Not long after the Civil War, our ancestors realized that the need for wood products was placing too great a demand on our forests. And in 1872, concerned residents of the State of Nebraska came together on the first Arbor Day to look to the future and preserve America’s forests for our generation and the ones yet to come. As we approach the 21st century, we must rededicate ourselves to a forest policy that sustains a strong forest economy and a healthy ecosystem.

Arbor Day is commemorated with an activity in which every American can take part: the planting of a tree—in a backyard, in a park, or on a mountainside. Each new sapling planted today connects us to our parks and wilderness areas here at home, as well as to the tropical forests and wetlands around the world. We must ensure that our children and their descendants have just as much to celebrate on Arbor Day 100 years from now.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 127, has designated the last Friday in April as “National Arbor Day.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim April 30, 1993, as National Arbor Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

6555 April 30, 1993 Law Day, U.S.A., 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6555 of April 30, 1993
Law Day, U.S.A., 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Ours is a Nation of laws, united not just by a common language and culture, but by a unique devotion to and belief in a national common law: our Constitution.

On Law Day, we celebrate our Constitution and all of the legal institutions that flow from it. Though often thought of as the province of lawyers, we must never forget that these laws and institutions were created not just by lawyers, but also by farmers and architects; businesspeople and laborers; doctors, ranchers, merchants, and machinists. The protection under our laws is the birthright of all Americans, the great inheritance we have received from those who have come before.

In times past, not all Americans have shared in the rights secured by our laws. Courageous and visionary men and women devoted their lives—and sometimes sacrificed them—because they believed that none of us can enjoy the blessings of liberty unless all of us do. To the people who continue to give of themselves each day to this pursuit goes my highest tribute on this Law Day.

Today, as a lawyer and as President, I challenge the members of America’s legal profession to devote themselves to the great causes and the great challenges before us as a Nation. As did your predecessors, you must be the leaders in the struggle to promote equality in our society and justice in our courts. Just as our laws are meant to benefit us all, the practice of law cannot be conducted for private benefit alone. I call on all lawyers to make a commitment to public service and civic affairs. This is the heritage of our profession, and a duty arising from the privilege bestowed upon us as lawyers.

On Law Day, I want to reiterate the commitment of my Administration to the rule of law, both here at home and around the world. My Administration will work hard to improve the quality of justice in our courts by selecting the very best men and women to serve as Federal judges. We will dedicate ourselves to promoting justice in our communities by launching new and innovative measures to combat crime and ensure public safety. We will pledge to advance justice in our society by reinvigorating our civil rights laws and our application of them.

We will strive to strengthen our families by increasing enforcement of our child support laws; to strengthen our environment by demanding that polluters pay for the harm that they cause; to strengthen our economy by ensuring that all persons have an equal right to opportunity 107 STAT. 2653and employment. In all of these endeavors, our laws will play a critical role.

On this day, we cannot ignore the criticisms aimed at our legal system and the calls for changes in it. I share the view that our legal system needs reform. But even as we undertake these reforms, we should never forget that it is our legal system that is the envy of the world. As the nations around the globe emerge from the long, dark days of the past into the new light of freedom, it is to our laws, our courts, our private bars—our legal institutions—that they look for inspiration. This should be a source of enormous pride for all lawyers and for all Americans.

From the days of our Nation’s founding, the torch of freedom has been passed from one generation to the next. Today we hold it higher, and it bums more brightly than ever. Democracies around the world, new and old, look to us to lead the way. The law of our land stands as a beacon of hope for these people and for those still yearning to be free.

The turmoil in various parts of the world attests to the need to promote respect for international law and to strengthen international institutions for the protection of international peace and security and of human rights. My Administration will also pursue those objectives.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, in accordance with Public Law 87–20 of April 7, 1961, do hereby proclaim May 1, 1993, as “Law Day, U.S.A.” I urge the people of the United States to use this occasion to reflect on our heritage of freedom, to familiarize themselves with their rights and responsibilities, and to aid others seeking to affirm their rights under law.

I call upon the legal profession, civic associations, educators, librarians, public officials, and the media to promote the observance of this day through appropriate programs and activities. I also call upon public officials to display the flag of the United States on all government buildings on Law Day, U.S.A.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

Loyalty Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

“Loyalty Day” is an occasion on which we reaffirm our allegiance to our country and our devotion to the ideals on which it was founded. Our government “by the people” respects and protects the natural rights and freedoms of all citizens, without favor, and deserves our abiding fidelity.

107 STAT. 2654

For more than 200 years, people from around the world have immigrated to America, bringing their dreams and aspirations to a country that prides itself on its democratic ideals. There is no greater testament to the success of our system of governance than people’s desire to be a part of the great American experiment. Our Founders designed that system on the principles of individual liberties and rights of self-determination. Our Nation stands as a beacon of hope for all those who embrace these ideas.

Generations of Americans have demonstrated loyalty and devotion to their country and have gone to great lengths to preserve their freedom. Many have fought and died so that future generations could continue the proud traditions of our Nation. To acknowledge this loyalty and love of country, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved July 18, 1958 (72 Stat 369; 36 U.S.C. 162), has designated May 1 of each year as “Loyalty Day.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 1, 1993, as Loyalty Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities, including public recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States. I also call upon government officials to display the flag on all government buildings and grounds on this day.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6557 May 3, 1993 Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6557 of May 3, 1993
Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

This month we honor the heritage and history of Asian and Pacific Americans and the contributions they have made to our country: to its economic development, its cultural wealth, its scientific and medical achievements, its institutes of education, and its government. As we celebrate the diversity of our people and their heritage, we remember that we are one Nation, united in a common quest for freedom and dignity.

Traders from the Asia-Pacific region reached North America as early as the!6th century, but the first significant wave of immigration began during the late 1800s. From China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and the Indian subcontinent they came and found work in America: as miners, railroad workers, farmers, and merchants. These settlers and their children preserved the rich legacy of their homelands while also learning the history of our Nation and embracing the traditions that define it.

107 STAT. 2655

While they found many opportunities in America, immigrants from the Asia-Pacific region also were victims of discrimination. Some were denied the right to buy land or become naturalized citizens solely because of their ethnic origin. Such prejudice often led to segregated community structures. Once thought of as ghettos, these neighborhoods are now vibrant cultural assets and magnets for tourism and trade in the cities of which they are a part.

America has made great progress in advancing civil rights since the days when Asian workers were exploited and labored under crushing hardship. A second significant wave of immigration brought doctors, nurses, engineers, musicians, scientists, and other professionals. Now-familiar names like Yo Yo Ma, Midori, Seiji Ozawa, Amy Tan, Michael Chang, and Kristi Yamaguchi today symbolize the rich heritage that Asian and Pacific Americans have added to our culture.

Today Asian and Pacific Americans represent a large portion of our population. The region from which they migrated is now one of the world’s most dynamic areas of economic growth. America’s trade with Asian and Pacific countries totals more than $300 billion, a greater amount than any other region in the world. The United States maintains alliances with countries from the Pacific such as Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and Thailand. We will continue to promote economic cooperation and the expansion of free markets there. The security of our allies and the advancement of human rights in Asia and the Pacific benefit both our country and the countries of that region.

America is an ongoing experiment, an unfinished work. It is important that we continually strive to fulfill the ideals that attracted the Asian/ Pacific peoples and other immigrants to our shores. The next century will present many challenges, but the ethnic diversity that binds us as a Nation will provide us with the energy and hope we need to build a more peacefill and more prosperous world. To honor the achievements of Asian/Pacific Americans and to recognize their contributions to our Nation, the Congress, by Public Law 102–450, has designated the month of May of each year as “Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of May 1993 as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this occasion with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. I also call upon all Americans to rededicate themselves to the principles of inclusion, mutual respect, and social justice.

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

6558 May 6, 1993 National Walking Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2656 Proclamation 6558 of May 6, 1993
National Walking Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Medical research confirms that regular physical activity benefits human health in many ways. Exercise can help to prevent and manage coronary heart disease, hypertension, noninsulin-dependent diabetes, osteoporosis, and mental health problems, such as depression and anxiety. Regular exercise is also linked with lower rates of colon cancer and stroke. Light to medium exercise for at least 30 minutes each day enhances our lives by improving our physical fitness and our health.

Sustained walking is a wonderful way to exercise at minimal risk and little cost. Millions of Americans enjoy walking for a variety of reasons: as a time for private reflection; an occasion to enjoy the company of friends; a form of public demonstration; or as an invigorating activity and sport. Exercise such as walking is a key component of our Nation’s prevention agenda, which envisions a healthier, vibrant America. Regular walking is a form of self-care that can contribute to the reduction of preventable death, disease, and disability; reduce health care costs; improve overall energy and efficiency; and promote long and healthy lives. Americans across the country are experiencing the joys and benefits of regular walking as policymakers, legislators, and citizens work to improve trails and protect natural environments that make walking pleasurable and safe.

The Congress, by Public Law 102–474, has designated the week of May 2 through May 8, 1993, as “National Walking Week” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of May 2 through May 8, 1993, as National Walking Week. I invite the Governors of the 50 States and the appropriate officials of all other areas under the jurisdiction of the United States to issue similar proclamations. I encourage the American people to join with health and recreation professionals, private voluntary associations, and other concerned organizations in observing this week with appropriate programs and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6559 May 7, 1993 Mother’s Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2657 Proclamation 6559 of May 7, 1993
Mother’s Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

For more than half a century, Americans have celebrated Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May. On this day, we honor our mothers and reflect on the many hours of love and care they have devoted to our lives.

Mothers are the cornerstone of our communities. As caregivers, community activists, teachers, leaders, and business professionals, they serve as role models and inspirations for our achievements. Their tireless devotion to the family nourishes us as individuals and enriches our Nation.

Throughout life, a mother is a teacher, a nurturer, a supporter, and a source of strength. Our mothers instill in us strong values and the confidence to dream big dreams. With their encouragement and support, we can pursue our dreams and make them come true.

Mothers enrich our lives in so many ways. Whether biological, foster, or adoptive, a mother holds an enduring place in our hearts; a mother’s love transcends all differences and divisions. We admire the energy, strength, and conviction of our mothers, and we honor their dedication to helping others. As we celebrate Mother’s Day, let us cherish their gifts of selflessness and love.

In recognition of the contributions of all mothers to their children and to the Nation, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved May 8, 1914 (38 Stat. 770), has designated the second Sunday in May each year as “Mother’s Day” and requested the President to call for its appropriate observance.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby request that Sunday, May 9, 1993, be observed as Mother’s Day. I direct Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Federal Government buildings, and I urge all citizens to display the flag at their homes and other suitable places on that day.

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

6560 May 7, 1993 Be Kind to Animals and National Pet Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2658 Proclamation 6560 of May 7, 1993
Be Kind to Animals and National Pet Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Throughout our history, animals have played an important part in our lives. In colonial times, we relied on animals to carry us and our belongings over great distances to our frontier homesteads. When we arrived, they worked with us, sustained us, and helped us earn a living. Today, animals still help us in our economic lives, but they have taken on a greater role as our guardians and companions.

We celebrate this week in order to remember the many ways that animals help us. By serving as guides, animals aid the blind. As lookouts and detectives, animals assist in our military, customs, and law enforcement efforts. As friends and companions, pets befriend our children, ease the loneliness of the elderly and the ill, and entertain our families in our daily lives. We also salute the veterinary professionals and animal protection organizations that help us provide food, shelter, and medical care for animals and pets.

Together with all the creatures of the world, human beings are a part of nature. Just as we must respect our environment, we must treat animals kindly. In recognition of this, the Congress, by Public Law 102–504, has designated the week of May 2 through May 8, 1993, as “Be Kind to Animals and National Pet Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of May 2 through May 8, 1993, as Be Kind to Animals and National Pet Week. I urge the people of the United States to observe this week with the appropriate ceremonies and activities.

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

6561 May 14, 1993 Small Business Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6561 of May 14, 1993
Small Business Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Over 200 years ago, the Constitutional Convention gave America the foundation of our great civil and human rights, as well as our commercial rights. By freeing commerce from the fetters of mercantilism, our Founding Fathers released the creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of the American people. Small merchants and businessmen provided the simple beginnings of what has become a vast and innovative economy. 107 STAT. 2659Since 1789, it has become abundantly clear that for our Nation to flourish, small businesses must continue to succeed and prosper.

Small businesses create two-thirds of all the new jobs in the United States, putting the American Dream within reach of hundreds of thousands of men and women of all backgrounds. Small businesses generate more than 57 percent of all sales and half of the domestic private sector output. Thousands of our Nation’s most innovative companies and most nimble competitors come from the ranks of small businesses. And often, whole new industries are created when entrepreneurs found new companies to bring new products and services to market. The drive that is required to begin and run a small business illustrates the determination, hard work, and community involvement that are so essential to our free enterprise system.

We must recognize these contributions and help small business help the country, creating jobs and wealth. Those willing to take risks must be rewarded; government must implement sensible regulations and attack the enormous costs of health care that stifle the growth of so many American companies. America must continue to be a fertile land for industry.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of May 9 through May 15, 1993, as the 30th “Small Business Week,” and I call on every American to join me in recognizing the importance and contributions of small businesses across the Nation.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6562 May 19, 1993 National Defense Transportation Day and National Transportation Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6562 of May 19, 1993
National Defense Transportation Day and National Transportation Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

As Americans, we take great pride in our fine transportation system. This system links our vast Nation in an intricate network of highways, waterways, bridges, and mass transit systems. Our transportation infrastructure strengthens America by bringing people and communities closer together, spurring trade and commerce, and strengthening our manufacturing and military power.

Our Nation’s transportation system plays a vital role in our national defense, both in times of crisis and in peace. It has carried U.S. Armed Forces to many regions of the world; it has quickly and safely moved the materiels needed to protect our interests; and it has accelerated the 107 STAT. 2660delivery of supplies and personnel to thousands of hurricane victims in Florida and Louisiana.

The Dwight D. Eisenhower System of Interstate and Defense Highways, begun in the 1950’s, has served America’s defense, business, and social needs extremely well in the last 50 years. As we enter the 21st century, we must find new, more cost-effective and efficient ways to travel and to transport goods in order to compete in the global economy. Our Nation must continue its commitment to technological and engineering excellence in order to ensure long-term military and industrial strength. At the same time, we recognize that a key challenge of our era is to harness technology to protect the health of our environment and our people. Technological breakthroughs can improve our quality of life, for example, by limiting airplane noise, increasing the speed of mass transit systems, or improving the reliability of tankers for oil transport. Transportation safety can improve dramatically with new technology and with concerted education efforts. American transportation, from airplanes to boats to school buses, already has a fine safety record, and we are making great progress. In 1992 the rate of alcohol involvement in fatal crashes declined to an all-time low, and safety belt use reached a high of 62 percent.

As we survey our infrastructure in the 1990’s, it is clear that we face another crucial challenge: we must shift from the construction of basic transportation systems to the adaptation and modernization of existing ones. Rebuilding America’s infrastructure is not just necessary for the health of our transportation system, it is also essential to the long-term vitality of our economy. The condition of our infrastructure directly affects the speed of our commerce, the exuberance of our cities, and the mobility of our rural citizens and industries. Rebuilding our infrastructure can create jobs, improve our quality of life, spur technological development, and fuel long-term economic growth. A strong partnership between the public and private sector and the continued support of our research institutions are vital in this effort.

This week we honor the men and women who build, maintain, and ensure the safety of our transportation system—from the person who designs the high-speed train to the one who drives it. We salute all American workers in the transportation industry for their contributions to our Nation. We also pause to thank Americans who are working to increase transportation safety through educational programs, through efforts to promote the use of safety belts and child safety seats, and through endeavors to stop the tragedy of drunk driving accidents.

We must provide future generations with a transportation system that is safer, more environmentally sound, and more efficient. We must apply America’s tremendous reserves of energy and ingenuity to this important task in order to ensure that America’s transportation system will continue to serve our country’s goals and enhance the quality of life of our people in the years to come.

In recognition of the importance of transportation and the millions of Americans who work to meet our transportation needs, the Congress, by joint resolution approved May 16, 1957 (36 U.S.C. 160), has requested that the third Friday in May of each year be designated as “National Defense Transportation Day” and, by joint resolution approved May 14, 1962 (36 U.S.C. 166), that the week in which that Friday falls be proclaimed “National Transportation Week.”

107 STAT. 2661

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Friday, May 21, as National Defense Transportation Day and the week of May 16 through May 22, 1993, as National Transportation Week. I urge all Americans to observe these occasions with appropriate ceremonies and activities that will give due recognition to the individuals and organizations that build, operate, safeguard, and maintain this country’s modem transportation system.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6563 May 19, 1993 World Trade Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6563 of May 19, 1993
World Trade Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Each year, World Trade Week allows us to highlight the importance of international trade, which links the United States with other nations in partnership for economic prosperity. It is also a time to recognize the importance of our efforts to stimulate domestic economic growth through the sale of American products and services abroad.

For Americans, trade has buttressed our Nation’s standing as the world’s largest and most productive economy. Exports support millions of American jobs and account for nearly one-sixth of the employment in the U.S. manufacturing and agricultural sectors. In fact, each $1 billion of American merchandise exports supports nearly 19,000 domestic jobs. As a result, companies have been formed, factories built, and new industries created. And these export-related jobs are good ones, paying on average 17 percent more than the overall average wage. Indeed, it is our ability to modernize and expand our industrial production that serves as the foundation for export growth, allowing us to develop and produce quality products while identifying marketing opportunities at home and abroad. Our ingenuity and our determination to be the best make America’s products and services among the world’s most competitive.

For U.S. products and services to succeed in an increasingly competitive global marketplace, however, we must be equally competitive at home and abroad. Recently, this Administration announced a broad new economic strategy to enhance government/industry cooperation in creating new technologies. Through commercialization, these technologies will be made available to smaller companies. Small and medium-size businesses create half the new jobs in this country and two-fifths of our Gross National Product, and many of these firms will seek to increase exports of their products. The high-technology sector, which employed about 10 million people and accounted for more than $100 billion worth of U.S. exports in 1992, is crucial to advancing the 107 STAT. 2662industrial competitiveness of the United States and assuring us of an edge in world markets.

Creating a climate for American exports requires not only a strong domestic economy, but also free and fair access for U.S. products to markets abroad. This Administration, therefore, is building a trade agenda that will allow U.S. exports to compete on a level playing field with our trading partners.

A top trade-related priority is the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which will link the United States, Canada, and Mexico into a single market of 360 million consumers currently spending $6 trillion annually. Mexico, once economically isolated from the United States, has emerged as our Nation’s third largest trading partner. With supplemental agreements to address environmental and labor issues, NAFTA will be a positive force for creating American jobs.

In addition to our focus on the NAFTA negotiations, this Administration is determined to complete the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) Uruguay Round agreement. GATT is an agreement binding more than 100 nations to a mutual interest in strengthening the global environment for trade. As part of these negotiations, this Administration is seeking provisions that ensure free and fair trade for American industry, as well as effective bilateral dispute settlement mechanisms. A successful Uruguay Round would lower tariff and nontariff barriers to manufactured products and other commodities, thereby increasing cumulative world output by more than $5 trillion and cumulative U.S. output by more than $1 trillion over the next 10 years.

While advancing our Nation’s interests through the GATT negotiations, the United States and other countries must provide financial assistance to ensure key political and economic reforms in Russia and the former Soviet republics. By carefully targeting this assistance, our Nation will not only encourage progress toward global stability, arms control, and nonproliferation, but also help create an environment in which trade with that region can flourish.

Creating a secure and prosperous global environment for trade also hinges on continued U.S. efforts to benefit from the great opportunities that are available in the high-growth East Asian and Latin American markets, two of the fastest growing regions for American exports.

Although thousands of U.S. companies continue to boost their profit margins through exports, thousands of other American firms have yet to market their goods abroad. In fact, just 15 percent of American companies account for 85 percent of our Nation’s exports. With U.S. merchandise exports totaling more than $448 billion in 1992, “World Trade Week” reminds us of the merits of international commerce and the vast export opportunities yet to be explored by American business.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 16, 1993, as World Trade Week. I invite the people of the United States to join in appropriate observances to reaffirm the potential of international trade for creating prosperity for all.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, 107 STAT. 2663and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6564 May 21, 1993 National Maritime Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6564 of May 21, 1993
National Maritime Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

On May 22, 1819, the first transatlantic steamship voyage began when the SS Savannah left the U.S. port of Savannah, Georgia. Sixty years ago, in recognition of this historic voyage, President Franklin D. Roosevelt first called upon the American people to observe May 22 as National Maritime Day by displaying the American flag at their homes and other suitable places.

On National Maritime Day 50 years ago, the United States was engaged in a great World War. The United States merchant marine made victory possible by linking our production forces at home with our fighting forces overseas. Throughout our history, America’s civilian seafarers have faithfully supported our military forces.

Thirty years ago, President John F. Kennedy cited the role of the American merchant marine in promoting world trade. “Our ships and the men who man them stand ready to serve the Nation in any circumstance and in all conditions of peaceful commerce or national emergency,” he said.

On National Maritime Day 15 years ago, the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York, was preparing to become the first Federal service academy to grant diplomas to women. The women who have since graduated from our service academies contribute significantly to our Nation’s economic and military strength.

Today, America’s merchant ships continue to provide jobs and economic benefits for America. The men and women who sail those ships and who serve in supporting industries are prepared to support the Nation in times of crisis. I ask all Americans to join me in saluting them on National Maritime Day, 1993.

In recognition of the importance of the U.S. merchant marine, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved May 20, 1933, has designated May 22 of each year as “National Maritime Day” and has authorized and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its appropriate observance.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 22, 1993, as National Maritime Day. I urge the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities and by displaying the flag of the United States at their homes and other suitable places. I also request that all ships sailing under the American flag dress ship on that day.

6565 May 25, 1993 Older Americans Month, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6565 of May 25, 1993
Older Americans Month, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Older Americans Month—a time when we, as a Nation, honor our elder citizens and recognize the many contributions they have made to our country.

Older Americans, having witnessed many of our Nation’s historic milestones, are embodiments of 20th century American history. Many lived through the trying times of the Great War, the Depression, and the Second World War. With younger generations, older Americans shared the anguish of the Cold War and helped their more youthful countrymen get through this difficult period.

Older Americans provide us with the experience, knowledge, and leadership that are needed to help our Nation ply the difficult waters of the present. Through their experience with adversity, older Americans understand the critical need for shared sacrifice in meeting the challenges we face. Their wisdom provides us with a valuable perspective on now we must reorient our society toward investment in the future. Working in a variety of roles, as volunteers and employees, millions of older Americans continue to give their communities the fruits of their labor.

Today’s older Americans are the best educated, most well-informed generation of elders our Nation has ever produced. The challenges they have met—and met successfully—have enabled them to make a continuing contribution with wisdom and understanding. We can see this not only in our families, as a new wave of responsible grandparenting helps ensure the future of our children, but also in our communities, which benefit from the experience and leadership of older Americans who volunteer their talent and time in fields ranging from business management to the arts.

While we salute the continuing contribution of older Americans, we also acknowledge our debt and responsibility to them. We renew our commitment to preserving for them the quality of life they deserve. We will safeguard their economic security not only through preserving the Social Security system but also by strengthening our Nation’s overall economic performance. We will provide the leadership that will help our elders remain independent members of the community for as long as possible. We will supply that help in the neighborhoods where they live—through the kinds of social and supportive services made possible through the Older Americans Act and other programs. And we can help ease the suffering and worry caused by increased medical expenses through enacting a national program of health care reform.

107 STAT. 2665

By helping to preserve the security and independence of older Americans, we are also ensuring that our own futures will be ones of dignity with independence.

NOW, THEREFORE. I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the month of May 1993 as Older Americans Month. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies and activities in honor of our Nation’s senior citizens.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

Prayer for Peace, Memorial Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Each spring, our Nation pauses to remember those who have died securing our peace and freedom. Across our country, Americans are holding ceremonies in remembrance of those who have died under the colors of our Nation. We remember the brave men and women whose sacrifices have paved the way for us to live in a country like America. We remember the families of our fallen heroes, and we grieve for their losses. And we remember the men and women who are now serving in our Armed Forces.

In the war with Iraq and more recently in our peacekeeping operations in Somalia, more names of young Americans nave been added to the roster of our departed heroes. Young service men and women who died in the Persian Gulf joined Americans who left their mark on history at places like the Argonne in World War I, Omaha Beach in World War n, and Pork Chop Hill in Korea, and in the jungles and rice paddies of Vietnam.

Through two centuries and several wars, America has remained the land of the free and the home of the brave. The Persian Gulf war reaffirmed that international peace and security depend on our Nation’s vigilance and on the sacrifices of our service men and women. Even in this post-Cold War era, we must be wary, for the world still remains a dangerous place.

By showing our understanding, we can help further the sense of lives well lived, a time on earth well spent, and a heritage of service of lasting meaning.

In respect and recognition of those Americans to whom we pay tribute today, the Congress, by joint resolution of May 11, 1950 (64 Stat. 158), has requested the President to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe each Memorial Day as a day of 107 STAT. 2666prayer for permanent peace and designating a period on that day when the people of the United States might unite in prayer.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Memorial Day, May 31, 1993, as a day of prayer for permanent peace, and I designate the hour beginning in each locality at 11 o’clock in the morning of that day as a time to unite in prayer. I urge the press, radio, television, and all other information media to cooperate in this observance.

I also request the Governors of the United States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the appropriate officials of all units of government, to direct that the flag be flown at half-staff until noon dining this Memorial Day on all buildings, grounds, and naval vessels throughout the United States and in all areas under its jurisdiction and control, and I request the people of the United States to display the flag at half-staff from their homes for the customary forenoon period.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

Emergency Medical Services Week, 1993 and 1994 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Emergency medical services personnel provide a vital public service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Traumatic injury is the leading cause of death and disability for men, women, and children between the ages of 1 and 44 years. Each year, injuries account for more than 140,000 deaths, over 2 million hospitalizations, and more than 80,000 permanent disabilities.

Inclusive emergency medical systems play a significant role in reducing mortality and disability due to injuries. Quality emergency medical care saves lives and reduces disability by linking pre-hospital, hospital, and rehabilitation services that provide optimal care for all Americans.

Americans benefit daily from the dedication and immediate care provided by physicians, emergency nurses, emergency medical technicians, paramedics, fire fighters, educators, administrators, and others who serve in coordinated systems of emergency care. Emergency medical care providers dedicate thousands of hours to specialized training and continuing education to enhance and maintain their lifesaving skills. Two-thirds of these individuals are volunteers, many of whom serve in rural areas of the country.

Since the initial efforts to establish emergency medicine as a medical specialty 25 years ago, emergency medical care providers have continually advanced standards of practice in the emergency management of 107 STAT. 2667traumatically injured persons. Their efforts have resulted in the development of systems to improve trauma care planning, regionalized systems of trauma care, and an increased public awareness of the effects of injury and their prevention.

We salute our Nation’s emergency medical services providers. Their daily efforts affect millions of men, women, and children who suffer from acute illness or injury by returning them to productive lives.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 78, has designated the weeks beginning May 23, 1993, and May 15, 1994, as “Emergency Medical Services Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of the event.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the weeks of May 23 through 29, 1993, and May 15 through 21, 1994, as Emergency Medical Services Week. I call upon all Americans to observe this period with appropriate programs and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

Time for the National Observance of the Fiftieth Anniversary of World War II, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Americans live in an era when there are no major confrontations between world powers. This period of peace traces its roots back 50 years to the Second World War. Our Armed Forces stood strong against totalitarian regimes that sought to dominate and suppress freedom-loving peoples of the world. Although Americans felt ill-equipped to take on the vast international responsibilities, we rose to take on world leadership. In the process, we learned the price of aggression and the benefits of peace.

At the end of the Cold War, it is therefore fitting to remember the years of World War II and those brave and selfless American patriots who stood strong and true against tyranny so that we could enjoy a safer and more prosperous life. President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s thoughts about the time still apply today:

We are faced with the pre-eminent fact that, if civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationship— the ability of all people, of all kinds, to live together and work together in the same world, at peace. . . .

Our generation and future generations must heed these words. In a world warmed by the sunshine of freedom, but threatened still by an-107 STAT. 2668cient hatreds and new plagues, the United States of America must stand as a beacon of liberty and justice.

During this period of remembrance and reflection, it is appropriate that Memorial Day be included during the “Time for the National Observance of the Fiftieth Anniversary of World War II.” As we preserve the memory of the events of World War II and honor the memory of our loved ones lost during that tragic time, I call upon Americans to study the history of that era so that the values our Nation defended and the lessons we learned will never be forgotten. I ask that we celebrate freedom and peace in our houses of worship and in our halls of government, in private thanksgiving and public ceremonies, and that we remember and honor our Nation’s World War n veterans.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 80, has designated May 30, 1993, through June 7, 1993, as a “Time for the National Observance of the Fiftieth Anniversary of World War II.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate May 30, 1993, through June 7, 1993, as a Time for the National Observance of the Fiftieth Anniversary of World War II. I call upon all Americans to observe this period with appropriate programs and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirty-first day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6569 June 3, 1993 Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Persons Who Formulate or Implement Policies That Are Impeding the Negotiations Seeking the Return to Constitutional Rule in Haiti Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6569 of June 3, 1993
Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Persons Who Formulate or Implement Policies That Are Impeding the Negotiations Seeking the Return to Constitutional Rule in Haiti By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In light of the political crisis in Haiti resulting from the expulsion from Haiti of President Aristide and the constitutional government, I have determined that it is in the interests of the United States to restrict the entry to the United States of certain Haitian nationals who formulate, implement, or benefit from policies that impede the progress of the negotiations designed to restore constitutional government to Haiti, and the immediate families of such persons.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, by the power vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, including section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of persons described in sec-107 STAT. 2669tion 1 of this proclamation would, except as provided for in sections 2 or 3 of this proclamation, be detrimental to die interests of the United States. I do therefore proclaim that:

Section 1. The entry into the United States as immigrants and nonimmigrants of persons who formulate, implement, or benefit from policies that impede the progress of the negotiations designed to restore constitutional government to Haiti, and the immediate family members of such persons, is hereby suspended.
Sec. 2. Section 1 shall not apply with respect to any person otherwise covered by section 1 where the entry of such person would not be contrary to the interests of the United States.
Sec. 3. Persons covered by sections 1 and 2 shall be identified pursuant to procedures established by the Secretary of State, as authorized in section 6 below.
Sec. 4. Nothing in this proclamation shall be construed to derogate from United States Government obligations under applicable international agreements.
Sec. 5. This proclamation is effective immediately and shall remain in effect until such time as the Secretary of State determines that it is no longer necessary and should be terminated.
Sec. 6. The Secretary of State shall have responsibility to implement this proclamation pursuant to procedures the Secretary may establish.

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

6570 June 4, 1993 National Safe Boating Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6570 of June 4, 1993
National Safe Boating Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Nearly 70 million Americans enjoy recreational boating as a favorite pastime. America’s scenic lakes, beautiful rivers, and vast waterways provide a wonderful place for boaters to enjoy family outings, water-skiing, fishing, and other activities. It is appropriate that we recognize the many joys recreational boating affords. At the same time, because recreational boating can involve risks to persons, property, and natural resources, it is also important that we reflect upon ways to ensure safe boating.

The U.S. Coast Guard, the National Safe Boating Council, and the many State and local recreational boating organizations allied in the cause of safe boating have chosen “Boat Smart” as the theme of National Safe Boating Week. This theme serves as a reminder to the millions of Americans who engage in recreational boating that this activity 107 STAT. 2670should be enjoyed in a thoughtful, responsible manner. Many Americans can benefit from preparation and caution: taking boating safety courses; wearing personal flotation devices; following the “Rules of the Road”; and not using alcohol or drugs when operating boats. Young boaters learn safe boating practices by example, and today’s boating practices may affect the well-being of American families for years to come.

Boating is an activity that directly affects our precious national water resources and associated wildlife. Boaters must carefully preserve and protect our rivers, lakes, seashores, and wildlife by avoiding practices that give rise to accidents, injuries, and pollution. Today’s boaters must take care to preserve our precious waterways for future generations.

For all of these reasons, I call upon boating Americans, during National Safe Boating Week, 1993, to reflect on the importance of safe boating to the health of our people and the preservation of our natural resources. We must commit ourselves to safe and environmentally sensitive boating—for now and for the future.

To promote boating as a safe sport, the Congress, by joint resolution approved June 4, 1958 (36 U.S.C. 161), as amended, has authorized and requested that the President annually proclaim the week beginning on the first Sunday in June as “National Safe Boating Week.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning June 6, 1993, as National Safe Boating Week. I encourage the Governors of the 50 States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, to provide for the observance of this week with appropriate activities. I urge all Americans to become informed boaters and to enjoy safe, thoughtful recreational boating.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6571 June 4, 1993 Lyme Disease Awareness Week, 1993 and 1994 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6571 of June 4, 1993
Lyme Disease Awareness Week, 1993 and 1994 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Lyme disease has become the most common arthropod-borne infection in the United States since it was first recognized as a clinical entity in 1975. Although most prevalent in the coastal northeastern and north central States, a significant number of cases have been reported in the Pacific Coast States, primarily northern California and Oregon.

Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium that is transmitted from ticks to warm-blooded animals. The major reservoirs of infection are deer and rodents, although the ticks can be carried on dogs, cats, and occasionally birds. Persons who live near or who work in wooded areas are 107 STAT. 2671at risk of contracting Lyme disease. Lyme disease can develop into a chronic multisystem disorder that can elicit a wide range of symptoms and run an unpredictable course. Clinical manifestations include arthritis, neurological symptoms, heart problems, and sometimes eye inflammation, hepatitis, and severe fatigue.

Early symptoms may include one or more of the following: a rash at the site of the tick bite, headache, fever, joint pain, and fatigue. Though the disease usually responds to antibiotic treatment at this stage, in later stages it may develop into a persistent chronic infection that affects joints or the nervous system. The bacteria also may be transmitted from an infected pregnant woman to her fetus.

Scientists at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, along with their colleagues at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, are supporting dozens of research projects on Lyme disease. Along with several other components of the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, they are devoting considerable effort to eradicate the disease. Experts from a wide range of disciplines are focusing on improving diagnostic techniques and therapeutic strategies and on developing an effective human vaccine. Animal models of the disease have been developed that promise to hasten progress in all of these areas.

In support of these efforts, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 43, has designated the weeks beginning June 6, 1993, and June 5, 1994, as “Lyme Disease Awareness Week” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the weeks of June 6, 1993, and June 5, 1994, as Lyme Disease Awareness Week. I urge all government agencies, health organizations, communications media, and private citizens to observe this week with appropriate programs and activities in order to ensure better understanding of Lyme disease.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6572 June 14, 1993 Flag Day and National Flag Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6572 of June 14, 1993
Flag Day and National Flag Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the young United States of America. Describing the new flag, the Congress wrote, “White signifies Purity and Innocence; Red, Hardiness and Valor; Blue signifies Vigilance, Perseverance and Justice,” with the stars forming “a new constellation.”

The words of the Continental Congress ring truer to us today than ever before. Wherever the Stars and Stripes are flown, they represent the 107 STAT. 2672highest ideals of America: justice, purity, and strength. The flag has flown over smoky battlefields, peaceful demonstrations, and wherever else Americans strive to express their precious freedoms in the face of adversity. Today, in accordance with congressional joint resolutions (63 Stat. 492 and 80 Stat. 194), we set aside June 14 as Flag Day and the week beginning June 13 as National Flag Week to honor the colors and stars that have flown proudly over the United States for 216 years.

Just as we pay our respects to our flag, so must we honor our Nation’s Founders, the brave people who inscribed their names on the Declaration of Independence and breathed life into its text. The ideals embodied by the Declaration have served as a guide for our Nation and an inspiration for people around the world. This document delineated the very idea of America, that individual rights are derived not from the generosity of the government, but from the hand of the Almighty. The Founders forever abandoned their allegiance to the old European notions of caste and dedicated themselves to the belief that all people are created equal.

The brilliant men who gathered in Philadelphia in 1776 to declare our Nation’s independence risked their honor, their fortunes, and their very lives to create a better future for their children and grandchildren. We, the inheritors of freedom’s legacy, owe our liberties to the fact that our Founders saw the need for dramatic change and acted upon it.

Today, vast changes are sweeping the globe. Nations that have known only tyranny for centuries are now dedicating themselves to the ideals of freedom and democracy. And wherever freedom is proclaimed, echoes of the American Declaration of Independence can be heard. Thomas Jefferson’s words are being spoken in dozens of nations in hundreds of languages.

We are justly proud of the influence that our beliefs have had on the world. But the mission of America is far from complete. While the world is filled with opportunity, it is rife with uncertainty. We must dedicate ourselves to carrying on the dreams of the Founders and adding our own chapter to the unfinished American story. By embracing the changes that are altering the landscape of the world today, we help ensure a brighter, more democratic, and more peaceful world. As we celebrate our independence, I encourage all Americans to rededicate themselves to the conviction that our precious freedoms require constant vigilance and reaffirmation.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 14, 1993, as Flag Day and the week beginning June 13, 1993, as National Flag Week. I direct the appropriate officials of the government to display the flag of the United States on all government buildings during that week. I encourage all Americans to observe Flag Day and Flag Week by flying the Stars and Stripes from their homes and other suitable places. I also urge the American people to celebrate those days from Flag Day through Independence Day, as set aside by the Congress (89 Stat. 211), as a time to honor America, by having public gatherings and activities at which they can honor and pledge their allegiance to our country.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, 107 STAT. 2673and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6573 June 17, 1993 Father’s Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6573 of June 17, 1993
Father’s Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Traditionally, the third Sunday in June is nationally designated as Father’s Day. This year, on June 20th, I call upon all Americans to thank and honor fathers across die land for the love, nurturing, guidance, and sacrifices they have made in behalf of our Nation’s daughters and sons.

A key prescription for building strong families is honoring one’s parents. As Americans know and as history has witnessed, the acts of dedication to family are essential to our Nation’s endurance and spiritual growth. Reaffirming our commitment to fathers is an invaluable element in nurturing the health of our Nation’s families.

Fathers perform many roles, and they profoundly influence their children and our society. As co-creators of life, fathers—accepting responsibility for the welfare of their offspring—serve as economic providers, role-models, nurturers, coaches, counselors, and lifelong friends. They also help define and set standards for their children for personal, academic, and professional accomplishments.

Because fathers hold a very special place in our lives, it is fitting that we pay tribute to all fathers now living, as well as the memory of those now deceased. In that spirit, let us as Americans express and demonstrate to our fathers—through word and action—our appreciation for their love and for the contributions they have made to us and our Nation.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, in accordance with a joint resolution of the Congress approved April 24, 1972 (36 U.S.C. 142a), do hereby proclaim Sunday, June 20, 1993, as “Father’s Day.” I call upon all Americans to observe this day by demonstrating our respect for and our gratitude to our fathers.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6574 June 21, 1993 Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Persons Who Formulate or Implement Policies That Are Impeding the Transition to Democracy in Zaire or Who Benefit From Such Policies Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2674 Proclamation 6574 of June 21, 1993
Suspension of Entry as Immigrants and Nonimmigrants of Persons Who Formulate or Implement Policies That Are Impeding the Transition to Democracy in Zaire or Who Benefit From Such Policies By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

In light of the political and economic crisis in Zaire, I have determined that it is in the interests of the United States to restrict the entrance into the United States as immigrants and nonimmigrants of certain Zairian nationals who formulate or implement policies that impede Zaire’s transition to democracy or who benefit from such policies, and the immediate families of such persons.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, by the power vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, including section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, hereby find that the unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of persons described in section 1 of this proclamation would, except as provided for in section 2 or 3 of this proclamation, be detrimental to the interests of the United States. I, therefore, do proclaim that:

Section 1. The entry into the United States as immigrants and nonimmigrants of persons who formulate, implement, or benefit from policies that impede Zaire’s transition to democracy, and the immediate family members of such persons, is hereby suspended.
Sec. 2. Section 1 shall not apply with respect to any person otherwise covered by section 1 where entry of such person would not be contrary to the interests of the United States.
Sec. 3. Persons covered by sections 1 and 2 shall be identified pursuant to procedures established by the Secretary of State, as authorized in section 6 below.
Sec. 4. Nothing in this proclamation shall be construed to derogate from United States Government obligations under applicable international agreements.
Sec. 5. This proclamation is effective immediately and shall remain in effect until such time as the Secretary of State determines that it is no longer necessary and should be terminated.
Sec. 6. The Secretary of State shall have responsibility to implement this proclamation pursuant to procedures the Secretary may establish.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

6575 June 25, 1993 To Modify Duty-Free Treatment Under the Generalized System of Preferences and for Other Purposes Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2675 Proclamation 6575 of June 25, 1993
To Modify Duty-Free Treatment Under the Generalized System of Preferences and for Other Purposes By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Pursuant to title V of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (“1974 Act”) (19 U.S.C. 2461 et seq.), the President may designate specified articles provided for in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTS”) as eligible for preferential tariff treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences (“GSP”) when imported from designated beneficiary developing countries. 2. Pursuant to section 504(c) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2464(c)), beneficiary developing countries, except those designated as least-developed beneficiary developing countries pursuant to section 504(c)(6) of the 1974 Act, are subject to limitations on the preferential treatment afforded under the GSP. Pursuant to section 504(c)(5) of the 1974 Act, a country that is no longer treated as a beneficiary developing country with respect to an eligible article may be redesignated as a beneficiary developing country with respect to such article if imports of such article from such country did not exceed the limitations in section 504(c)(1) (after application of paragraph (c)(2)) during the preceding calendar year. Pursuant to section 504(d)(1) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2464(d)(1)), section 504(c)(1)(B) of the 1974 Act shall not apply with respect to any eligible article if a like or directly competitive article is not produced in the United States on January 3, 1985. Further, pursuant to section 504(d)(2) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2464(d)(2)), the President may disregard the limitations provided in section 504(c)(1)(B) with respect to any eligible article if the appraised value of the total imports of such article into the United States during the preceding calendar year is not in excess of an amount that bears the same ratio to $5,000,000 as the gross national product of the United States for that calendar year (as determined by the Department of Commerce) bears to the gross national product of the United States for calendar year 1979. 3. Section 502(b)(7) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2462(b)(7)) provides that a country that has not taken or is not taking steps to afford internationally recognized worker rights, as defined in section 502(a)(4) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2462(a)(4)), is ineligible for designation as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of the GSP. Pursuant to section 504 of the 1974 Act, the President may withdraw, suspend, or limit the application of duty-free treatment under the GSP with respect to any article or with respect to any country upon consideration of the factors set forth in sections 501 and 502(c) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2461 and 2462(c)). 4. Pursuant to sections 501, 503(a), and 504(a) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2461, 2463(a), and 2464(a)), in order to subdivide and amend the nomenclature of existing provisions of the HTS to modify the GSP, I have determined, after taking into account information and advice received under section 503(a), that the HTS should be modified to adjust the original designation of eligible articles. In addition, pursuant to title V of the 1974 Act, I have determined that it is appropriate to des-107 STAT. 2676ignate specified articles provided for in the HTS as eligible for preferential tariff treatment under the GSP when imported from designated beneficiary developing countries, and that such treatment for other articles should be terminated. I have also determined, pursuant to sections 504(a), (c)(1), and (c)(2) of the 1974 Act, that certain beneficiary countries should no longer receive preferential tariff treatment under the GSP with respect to certain eligible articles. Further, I have determined, pursuant to section 504(c)(5) of the 1974 Act, that certain countries should be redesignated as beneficiary developing countries with respect to certain eligible articles. These countries have been previously excluded from benefits of the GSP with respect to such eligible articles pursuant to section 504(c)(1) of the 1974 Act. Further, pursuant to section 504(d)(1) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2464(d)(1)), I have determined that the limitation provided for in section 504(c)(1)(B) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2464(c)(1)(B)) should not apply with respect to certain eligible articles because no like or directly competitive article was produced in the United States on January 3, 1985. Last, I have determined that section 504(c)(1)(B) of the 1974 Act should not apply with respect to certain eligible articles pursuant to section 504(d)(2) of the 1974 Act. 5. Pursuant to sections 502(b)(7), 502(c)(7), and 504 of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2462(b)(7), 2462(c)(7), and 2464), I have determined that it is appropriate to provide for the suspension of preferential treatment under the GSP for articles that are currently eligible for such treatment and that are imported from Mauritania. Such suspension is the result of my determination that Mauritania has not taken and is not taking steps to afford internationally recognized worker rights, as defined in section 502(a)(4) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2462(a)(4)). 6. Pursuant to sections 501 and 502 of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2461 and 2462), and having due regard for the eligibility criteria set forth therein, I have determined that it is appropriate to designate Albania as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of the GSP. 7. Proclamation 6517 of December 23, 1992, withdrew the duty-free treatment accorded under the GSP, pursuant to title V of the 1974 Trade Act, to imports of sulfanilic acid, provided for in HTS subheading 2921.42.24. Proclamation 6544 of April 13, 1993, made further modifications in the HTS provisions for such goods. Through technical error, the HTS provisions created in the annexes to such proclamations were not properly structured and numbered. Therefore. I have decided that it is necessary and appropriate to modify the HTS to correct these errors. 8. Section 604 of the 1974 Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the relevant provisions of that Act, and of other Acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including the removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import restriction.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited to title V and section 604 of the 1974 Act, do proclaim that:

(b) In order to designate certain articles as eligible articles for purposes of the GSP when imported from any designated beneficiary developing country excluding India, the Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn for the HTS subheading enumerated in Annex 11(b) to this proclamation is modified by inserting in the parentheses the symbol “A*” as provided in such Annex. (c) In order to restore preferential tariff treatment under the GSP to a country which has been excluded from the benefits of the GSP for an eligible article, the Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn for each of the HTS subheadings enumerated in Annex 11(c) to this proclamation is modified: (i) by deleting symbol “A*” in parentheses, and (ii) by inserting in such subcolumn the symbol “A” in lieu thereof. (d) In order to provide that one or more countries should no longer be treated as a beneficiary developing country with respect to an eligible article for purposes of the GSP, the Rates of Duty 1-Special subcolumn for each of the HTS provisions enumerated in Annex 11(d) to this proclamation is modified: (i) by deleting the symbol “A” in parentheses, and (ii) by inserting in such subcolumn the symbol “A*” in lieu thereof. (3) In order to provide for the suspension of preferential treatment under the GSP for Mauritania, to provide for the addition of Albania as a beneficiary developing country under the GSP, to provide that one or more countries that have not been treated as beneficiary developing countries with respect to an eligible article should be redesignated as beneficiary developing countries with respect to such article for purposes of the GSP, and to provide that one or more countries should no longer be treated as beneficiary developing countries with respect to an eligible article for purposes of the GSP, general note 3(c)(ii) to the HTS is modified as provided in Annex III to this proclamation. (4) In order to ensure the withdrawal of GSP treatment from imports of sulfanilic acid and to correct technical errors in certain HTS provisions, as created in the Annex to Proclamation 6517 and modified in Annex II to Proclamation 6544, such annexes are hereby superseded, and the HTS is modified as set forth in Annex IV to this proclamation. (5) Any provisions of previous proclamations and Executive orders inconsistent with the provisions of this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. (6) (a) The modifications made by Annexes I, II, and 111(a) to this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles both: (i) imported on or after January 1, 1976, and (ii) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after July 1, 1993. (b) The modification made by Annex m(b) to this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles both: (i) imported on or after 107 STAT. 2678January 1, 1976, and (ii) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 60 days after the date of publication of this proclamation in the Federal Register.

6576 July 1, 1993 National Youth Sports Program Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6576 of July 1, 1993
National Youth Sports Program Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The National Youth Sports Program (NYSP) provides economically disadvantaged children between the ages of 10 through 16 opportunities to earn and learn self-respect through a comprehensive sports and educational instruction program. Today, in its 25th year, the NYSP serves more than 69,000 young people at 173 colleges and universities in 44 States and the District of Columbia.

The children who participate in the program receive supervised training in sport competitions, personal health care, proper nutrition, and free medical and follow-up examinations. They obtain information on drug and alcohol abuse and are taught about good study habits. Career and educational opportunities in math and science are also offered. In addition to the benefits provided to the children, the NYSP enables staff at the participating institutions to become involved in their communities and in providing solutions to community problems.

For more than 25 years, the NYSP has worked to develop effective partnerships with several Federal agencies and departments and with the Nation’s colleges and universities acting through the National Collegiate Athletic Association. These unique partnerships have allowed Federal funds to be used to provide direct services for youth, have enabled institutions to contribute their facilities and personnel, and have permitted public and private businesses to donate equipment and supplies needed for the children to participate in the program during the summer.

By utilizing competitive sports as a means of expression, it has allowed these children to express their pain and deal with their difficult living conditions in a positive way, rather than in a self-destructive manner. For many of these children, a sense of accomplishment and empowerment has taken the place of despair. I urge all Americans to join me on this special day to celebrate the significant gains that NYSP’s 25 years of service has provided to these children.

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 88, has designated July 1, 1993, as “National Youth Sports Program Day” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim July 1, 1993, as National Youth Sports Program Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this day by demonstrating their respect for all those individuals who participate so successfully in these programs and by showing gratitude for those who unselfishly share their experiences, skills, and talents with the disadvantaged youths who participate in NYSP activities across the country.

Unless otherwise agreed between the parties to individual transactions, all commercial transactions between nationals and companies of the Parties shall be made in United States dollars or any other currency that may be designated by the International Monetary Fund as being a freely usable currency. 2. Neither Party shall restrict the transfer from its territory of convertible currencies or deposits, or payment instruments representative thereof, obtained in connection with trade in products and services by nationals and companies of the other Party. 3.

Each Party shall provide adequate and effective protection and enforcement for patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and integrated circuit layout designs as set form in the text of the attached side letter on intellectual property.
Article IX— Areas for Further Cooperation 1. For the purpose of further developing bilateral trade and promoting a steady increase in the exchange of products and services, both Parties 107 STAT. 2688shall strive to achieve a mutually acceptable agreement on investment issues, including the repatriation of profits and transfer of capital. 2. The Parties shall take appropriate steps to foster economic and technical cooperation on as broad a base as possible in all fields deemed to be in their mutual interest, including cooperation with respect to statistics and standards, as well as production figures. 3.

Article X— Import Relief Safeguards 1. The Parties agree to consult promptly at the request of either Party whenever actual or prospective imports of products originating in the territory of the other Party cause, threaten to cause, or significantly contribute to market disruption. Market disruption exists within a domestic industry whenever imports of an article, like or directly competitive with an article produced by a domestic industry, are increasing rapidly, either absolutely or relatively, so as to be a significant cause of material injury, or threat thereof, to the domestic industry. 2. The consultations provided for in paragraph 1 of this Article shall have the objectives of (i) presenting and examining the factors relating to such imports that may be causing or threatening to cause or significantly contributing to market disruption, and (ii) finding means of preventing or remedying such market disruptions. Such consultations shall be concluded within sixty days from the date of the request for such consultation, unless the Parties otherwise agree. 3. Unless a different solution is mutually agreed upon during the consultations, the importing Party may (i) impose quantitative import limitations, tariff measures or any other restrictions or measures to such extent and for such time as it deems appropriate to prevent or remedy threatened or actual market disruption, and (ii) take appropriate measures to ensure that imports from the territory of the other Party comply with such quantitative limitations or other restrictions. In this event, the other Party shall be free to deviate from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to substantially equivalent trade. 4. Where in the judgment of the importing Party, emergency action is necessary to prevent or remedy such market disruption, the importing Party may take such action at any time and without prior consultations provided that consultations shall be requested immediately thereafter. 5. Each Party shall ensure that its domestic procedures for determining market disruption are transparent and afford affected parties an opportunity to submit their views. 6. In the selection of measures under this Article, the Parties shall give priority to those measures which cause the least disturbance to the goals and provisions of this Agreement. 7. The Parties acknowledge that the elaboration of the market disruption safeguard provisions in this Article is without prejudice to the 107 STAT. 2689right of either Party to apply its own unfair trade laws and regulations, including antidumping and countervailing duty laws and those laws applicable to trade in textiles and textile products.
Article XI— Dispute Settlement 1. Nationals and companies of either Party shall be accorded national treatment with respect to access to all courts and administrative bodies in the territory of the other Party, as plaintiffs, defendants or otherwise. They shall not claim or enjoy immunity from suit or execution of judgment, proceedings for the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards, or other liability in the territory of the other Party with respect to commercial transactions; they also shall not claim or enjoy immunities from taxation with respect to commercial transactions, except as may be provided in other bilateral agreements. 2. The Parties encourage the adoption of arbitration for the settlement of disputes arising out of commercial transactions concluded between nationals or companies of the United States and nationals or companies of Romania. Such arbitration may be provided for by agreements in contracts between such nationals and companies, or in separate written agreements between them. 3. The parties may provide for arbitration under any internationally recognized arbitration rules, such as the arbitration rules of the International Chamber of Commerce or the UNCITRAL Rules. If the parties elect the UNCITRAL Rules, the parties should designate an Appointing Authority under said rules in a country other than the United States or Romania. 4. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, the parties should specify as the place of arbitration a country other than the United States or Romania that is a party to the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, done at New York, 1958. 5. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to prevent, and the Parties shall not prohibit, the parties from agreeing upon any other form of arbitration or dispute settlement which suits their particular needs. 6. Each Party shall ensure that an effective means exists within its territory for the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards.
Article XII— National Security 1. The provisions of this Agreement shall not limit the right of either Party to take any action for the protection of its security interests.
Article XIII— Consultations 1. The Joint American-Romanian Economic Commission, established on December 5, 1973, shall periodically review the operation of this Agreement and make recommendations for achieving its objectives. 107 STAT. 2690The Commission shall operate pursuant to its existing Terms of Reference and Rules of Procedure, as the same may be modified from time to time by the Parties. 2. At the request of either Party, the Parties agree to consult promptly through appropriate channels to discuss any matter concerning the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement or other relevant aspects of relations between the Parties.
Article XIV— Definitions 1. As used in this Agreement, the terms set forth below shall have the following meaning: (a) “company” means any kind of corporation, company, association, sole proprietorship, or other organization legally constituted under the laws and regulations of a Party or a political subdivision thereof, whether or not organized for pecuniary gain, and whether or not privately or government owned. (b) “commercial representation” means a representation of a company of a Party. (c) “national” means a natural person who is a national of a Party under the Party’s applicable laws.
Article XV— General Exceptions 1. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit any action by either Party which is required or permitted by the GATT. 2. So long as the measure does not constitute either an arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination between countries where the same conditions prevail or a disguised restriction on international trade, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit: (a) measures for the protection of intellectual property rights and for the prevention of deceptive practices, as set out in Article VIII and the side letters to this Agreement, provided that such measures shall be related to the extent of an injury suffered or to prevent such an injury’s occurrence; (b) measures for reasons contemplated by Article XX of the GATT, provided that the term “Agreement” in GATT Article XX, paragraph (d) shall be construed to refer to this Agreement. 3. Trade in products or services between the Parties which is subject to existing or subsequent bilateral or multilateral agreements on specific sectoral trade, such as existing agreements on textiles and civil aircraft, shall be subject to the terms of any such agreement. 4. Each Party reserves the right to deny the advantages of this Agreement to any company if either (i) nationals of a third country control the company and the company has no substantial business activities in the territory of the other Party, or (ii) the company is controlled by nationals of a third country with which the Party does not maintain normal economic relations.
107 STAT. 2691
Article XVI— Entry into Force, Term, Suspension and Termination 1. This Agreement (including its side letters, which are an integral part of the Agreement) shall enter into force upon an exchange of diplomatic notes in which the Parties notify each other that all necessary legal requirements for entry into force have been fulfilled, and shall remain in force as provided in paragraphs 3 and 4 of this Article. 2. This Agreement shall, upon entry into force, supercede in all respects the Agreement on Trade Relations Between the United States of America and the Socialist Republic of Romania, done on April 2, 1975, and the Agreement Suspending Mutual Application of Most Favored Nation Tariff Treatment Under the Trade Agreement of April 2, 1975, done on June 22, 1988, which agreements shall have no further force or effect. 3. (a) The initial term of this Agreement shall be three years, subject to subparagraph (b) and (c) of this paragraph. (b) If either Party encounters or foresees a problem concerning its domestic legal authority to carry out any of its obligations under this Agreement, such Party shall request immediate consultations with the other Party. Once consultations have been requested, the other Party shall enter into such consultations as soon as possible concerning the circumstances that have arisen with a view to finding a solution to avoid action under subparagraph (c). (c) If either Party does not have domestic legal authority to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, either Party may suspend the application of this Agreement or, with the agreement of the other Party, any part of this Agreement. In that event, the Parties will, to the fullest extent practicable and consistent with domestic law, seek to minimize disruption to existing trade relations between the two countries. 4. This Agreement shall be extended for successive terms of three years each unless either Party has given written notice to the other Party of its intent to terminate this Agreement at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the then current term.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned, being duly authorized, have signed this Agreement.

107 STAT. 2694 1. Each Party shall provide no less favorable treatment to the right holders of the other Party than it provides to its own right holders with respect to laws, regulations and practices implementing the provisions of this letter. 2. To provide adequate and effective protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights, each Party shall continue to adhere to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (Stockholm Act, 1967) (Paris Convention), and shall adhere to the Berne Convention for the protection of Literary and Artistic Works (Paris 1971) (Berne Convention), and the Geneva Convention for the Protection of Producers of Phonograms (Geneva Convention) and shall also observe, inter alia, the following: (a) Copyright and Belated Rights (i) Each Party shall protect the works listed in Article 2 of the Berne Convention and any other works now known or later developed, that embody original expression within the meaning of the Berne Convention, including: (1) all types of computer programs (including application programs and operating systems) expressed in any language, whether in source or object form which shall be protected as literary works; and, (2) collections or compilations of protected or unprotected material or data whether in print, machine readable or any other medium, including data bases, which shall be protected in so far as they constitute an intellectual creation by reason of the selection, coordination, or arrangement of their contents. (ii) Each Party shall ensure that the rights provided to authors in works protected pursuant to paragraph 2(a)(i) of this letter shall include, the following: (1) the exclusive right to import or authorize the importation into the territory of the Party of lawfully made copies of the work; (2) the exclusive right to prevent the importation into the territory of the Party of copies of the work made without the authorization of the right-holder; (3) the exclusive right to make the first public distribution of the original or each authorized copy of a work by sale, rental, or otherwise; (4) in respect of at least computer programs, the exclusive right to authorize or prohibit the rental of the original or copies of their copyrighted works.

Putting the originals or copies of computer programs on the market with the consent of the right-holder shall not exhaust the rental right; and (5) the exclusive right to publicly communicate a work except for a sound recording (e.g., to perform, display, project, exhibit, broadcast, transmit, or retransmit a work); the term “public” shall include: (A) communicating a work in a place open to the public or at any place where a substantial number of persons outside of a normal circle of a family and its social acquaintances is gathered: or (B) communicating or transmitting a work, a performance, or a display of a work, in any form, or by means of any device or process to a place specified in clause 2(H)(5)(A) or to the public, regardless of whether the members of the public capable of receiving such communications can receive them in the same place or separate places and at the same time or at different times. (iii) Parties shall extend the protection afforded under paragraph 2(a)(i) and 2(a)(ii) of this letter to authors of the other Party, whether they are natural persons or, where the domestic law of the Party seeking protection so provides, juridical entities, and to their successors in title. (iv) Each Party shall provide that the exclusive rights protected under paragraph 2(a)(ii) of this letter are freely and separately exploitable and transferable. Each Party also shall provide that assignees and exclusive licensees may enjoy all rights of their assignors and licensors acquired through voluntary agreements, and ensure that they are entitled to enjoy and exercise their acquired exclusive rights in their own names. (v) In cases where a Party calculates the term of protection of a work on a basis other than the life of a natural person, the term of protection shall be no less than 50 years from 107 STAT. 2695the first authorized publication or, failing such authorized publication within 50 years from the making of the work, 50 years after the making. (vi) Each Party shall confine any limitations upon and exceptions to the exclusive rights provided under paragraph 2(a)(ii) of this letter (including any limitations or exceptions that restrict such rights to “public” activity) to certain special cases which do not conflict with a normal exploitation of the work and do not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the right holder. (vii) Each Party shall limit resort to compulsory licensing to those works, rights and utilizations permitted under the Berne Convention: and further shall ensure that any legitimate compulsory or non-voluntary license or restriction of exclusive rights to a right of remuneration shall provide means to ensure payment and remittance of royalties at a level consistent with what would be negotiated on a voluntary basis. (viii) Each Party shall, at a minimum, extend to producers of sound recordings the exclusive rights to do or to authorize the following: (1) to reproduce the recording by any means or process, in whole or in part: and (2) to exercise the importation and exclusive distribution and rental provided in paragraphs 2(a)(ii)(1) (2) (3) and (4) of this letter.

(x) Each Party shall: (1) protect sound recordings first fixed or published in the territory of the other Party: (2) protect sound recordings for a term of at least 50 years from publication; and (3) grant the right to make the first public distribution of the original of each authorized sound recording by sale, rental, or otherwise except that the first sale of the original of such sound recording shall not exhaust the rental or importation right therein (the “rental right” shall mean the right to authorize or prohibit the disposal of the possession of the original or copies for direct or indirect commercial advantage). (xi) Parties shall not subject the acquisition and validity of intellectual property rights in sound recordings to any formalities, and protection shall arise automatically upon creation of the sound recording. (b) Trademarks (i) Protectable Subject Matter (1) Trademarks shall consist of at least any sign, words, including personal names, designs, letters, numerals, colors, or the shape of goods or of their packaging, provided that the mark is capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one undertaking from those of other undertakings.

(ii) Acquisition of Rights (1) Each Party shall provide a system for the registration of trademarks. Parties shall provide protection for trademarks based on registration and may provide protection on the basis of use.

In addition, each Party may afford an opportunity for the other Party to oppose the registration of a trademark. (3) The nature of the goods or services to which a trademark is to be applied shall in no case form an obstacle to registration of the trademark. (iii) Rights Conferred (1) The owner of a registered trademark shall have exclusive rights therein. He shall be entitled to prevent all third parties not having his consent from using in commerce 107 STAT. 2696identical or similar signs for goods or services which are identical or similar to those in respect of which the trademark is protected, where such use would result in a likelihood of confusion. (2) Each Party shall refuse to register or shall cancel the registration and prohibit use of a trademark likely to cause confusion with a trademark of another which is considered to be well-known. A Party may not require that the reputation of the trademark extend beyond the sector of the public which normally deals with the relevant goods or services. (3) The owner of a trademark shall be entitled to take action against any unauthorized use which constitutes an act of unfair competition. (4) The rights described in the foregoing paragraphs shall not prejudice any existing prior rights, nor shall this affect the possibility of Parties making rights available on the basis of use. (iv) Term of Protection Initial registration of a trademark shall be for a term of at least 10 years. The registration of a trademark shall be indefinitely renewable for terms of no less than 10 years when conditions for renewal have been met.

(vi) Compulsory Licensing Compulsory licensing of trademarks shall not be permitted. (vii) Transfer Trademark registrations may be transferred. (c) Patents (i) Patentable Subject Matter Patents shall be available for all inventions, whether products or processes, in all fields of technology, except that a Party may exclude from patentability any invention or discovery which is useful solely in the utilization of special nuclear material or atomic energy in an atomic weapon. (ii) Rights Conferred (1) A patent shall confer the right to prevent others not having the patent owner’s consent from making, using, or selling the subject matter of the patent. In the case of a patented process, the patent confers the right to prevent others not having consent from using that process and from using, selling, or importing at least the product obtained directly by that process. (2) Where the subject matter of a patent is a process for obtaining a product, each Party shall provide that the burden of establishing that an alleged infringing product was not made by the process shall be on the alleged infringer if the patent owner presents evidence that a substantial likelihood exists that the product was made by the process and the patent owner has been unable through reasonable efforts to determine the process actually used. In the gathering and evaluation of evidence to the contrary, the legitimate interests of the defendant in protecting his trade secrets shall be taken into account. (3) A patent may be revoked only on grounds that would have justified a refusal to grant the patent. (iii) Exceptions Each Party may provide limited exceptions to the exclusive rights conferred by a patent. such as for acts done for experimental purposes, provided that the exceptions do not significantly prejudice the economic interests of the right-holder, taking account of the legitimate interests of third parties. (iv) Term of Protection 107 STAT. 2697Each Party shall provide a term of protection of at least 20 years from the date of filing of the patent application or 17 years from the date of grant of the patent.

(v) Transitional Protection A Party shall provide transitional protection for products embodying subject matter deemed to be unpatentable under its patent law prior to its implementation of the provisions of this letter, where the following conditions are satisfied: (1) the subject matter to which the product relates will become patentable after implementation of the provisions of this letter and (2) a patent has been issued for the product by the other Party prior to the entry into force of the Agreement: and (3)

the product has not been marketed in the territory of the Party providing such transitional protection.

The owner of a patent for a product satisfying the conditions set forth above shall have the right to submit a copy of the patent to the competent authority of the Party providing transitional protection. Such Party shall limit the right to make, use, or sell the product in its territory to such owner for a term to expire with that of the patent submitted.

 (vi) Compulsory Licenses

Each Party may limit the patent owner’s exclusive rights through compulsory licenses but only (1) to remedy an adjudicated violation of competition laws. (2) to address, only during its existence, a declared national emergency, and (3) to enable compliance with national air pollutant standards, where compulsory licenses are essential to such compliance.

Where the law of a Party allows for the grant of compulsory licenses, the following provi dons shall be respected:

 (1) Compulsory licenses shall be nonexclusiva and non-assignable except with that part of the enterprise which exploits such license. (2) The payment of remuneration to the patent owner adequate to compensate the patent owner fully for the license shall be required, except for compulsory licenses to remedy adjudicated violations of competition law. (3) Each case involving the possible grant of a compulsory license shall be considered on its individual merits except that such consideration may be waived in cases of a declared national emergency. (4) Any compulsory license shall be revoked when the circumstances which led to its granting cease to exist, taking into account the legitimate interests of the patent owner and of the licensee. The continued existence of these circumstances shall be reviewed upon request of the patent owner. (5) Judicial review shall be available for: (a) Decisions to grant compulsory licenses, except in the instance of a declared national emergency, (b) decisions to continue compulsory licenses, and (c) decisions concerning the amount of compensation provided for compulsory licenses. (d) Layout-Designs of Semiconductor Integrated Circuits (i) Subject Matter for Protection (1) Each Party shall provide protection for original layout-designs incorporated in a semiconductor integrated circuit, however the layout-design might be fixed or encoded. (2) Each Party may condition protection on fixation or registration of the layout-designs. If registration is required, applicants shall be given at least two years from first 107 STAT. 2698commercial exploitation of the layout-design in which to apply. A Party which requires deposits of identifying material or other material related to the layout-design shall not require applicants to disclose confidential or proprietary information unless it is essential to allow identification of the layout-design. (ii) Rights Acquired (1) Each Party shall provide to right-holders of lay-out designs of the other Party the exclusive right to do or to authorize the following: (A) to reproduce the layout-design; (B) to incorporate the layout-design in a semiconductor chip; and (C) to import or distribute a semiconductor integrated circuit incorporating the layout-design and products including such integrated circuits. (2) The conditions set out in paragraph (c)(vi) of this paragraph shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the grant of any compulsory licenses for layout-designs. (3) Neither Party is required to extend protection to layout-designs that are commonplace in the industry at the time of their creation or to layout-designs that are exclusively dictated by the functions of the circuit to which they apply. (4) Each Party may exempt the following from liability under its law: (A) reproduction of a layout-design for purposes of teaching, analysis, or evaluation in the course of preparation of a layout-design that is itself original; (B) importation and distribution of semiconductor chips, incorporating a protected layout-design, which were sold by or with the consent of the owner of the layout-design; and (C) importation or distribution up to the point of notice of a semiconductor chip incorporating a protected layout-design and products incorporating such chips by a person who establishes that he did not know, and had no reasonable grounds to believe, that the layout-design was protected, provided that, with respect to stock on hand or purchased at the time notice is received, such person may import or distribute only such stock but is liable for a reasonable royalty on the sale of each item after notice is received. (iii) Term of Protection The term of protection for the layout design shall extend for at least ten years from the date of first commercial exploitation or the date of registration of the design, if required, whichever is earlier. (e) Acts Contrary to Honest Commercial Practices and the Protection of Trade Secrets (i) In the course of ensuring effective protection against unfair competition as provided for in Article 10 bis of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, each Party shall provide in its domestic law and practice the legal means for nationals and companies to prevent trade secrets from being disclosed to, acquired by, or used by others without the consent of the trade secret owner in a manner contrary to honest commercial practices insofar as such information: (1) is not, as a body or in the precise configuration and assembly of its components, generally known or readily ascertainable; (2) has actual or potential commercial value because it is not generally known or readily ascertainable; and (3) has been subject to reasonable steps under the circumstances to keep it secret. (ii) Neither Party shall limit the duration of protection for trade secrets so long as the conditions in paragraph 2(e)(1) of this letter exist. (iii) Licensing Neither Party shall discourage or impede voluntary licensing of trade secrets by imposing excessive or discriminatory conditions on such licenses or conditions which dilute the value of trade secrets. 107 STAT. 2699 (iv) Government Use (1) If a Party requires, as a condition of approving the marketing of pharmaceutical or agricultural chemical products which utilize new chemical entities, the submission of undisclosed test or other data, the origination of which involves a considerable effort, that Party shall protect such data against unfair commercial use. Further, each Party shall protect such data against disclosure except where necessary to protect the public or unless steps are taken to ensure that the data is protected against unfair commercial use. (2) Unless the person submitting the information agrees, the data may not be relied upon for the approval of competing products for a reasonable period of time, taking into account the efforts involved in the origination of the data, their nature, and the expenditure involved in their preparation, and such period of time shall generally be not less than five years from the date of marketing approval. (3) Where a Party relies upon a marketing approval granted by another Party, the reasonable period of exclusive use of the data submitted in connection with obtaining the approval relied upon shall commence with the date of the first marketing approval relied upon. (f) Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights (i) Each Party shall protect intellectual property rights covered by this letter by means of civil law. criminal law, or administrative law or a combination thereof in conformity with the provisions below.

These procedures shall be applied in such a manner as to avoid the creation of obstacles to legitimate trade and provide safeguards against abuse. (ii) Procedures for enforcing intellectual property rights shall be fair and equitable. (iii) Decisions on the merits of a case shall, as a general rule, be in writing and reasoned. They shall be made known at least to the parties to the dispute without undue delay. (iv) Each Party shall provide an opportunity for judicial review of final administrative decisions on the merits of an action concerning the protection of an intellectual property right. Subject to jurisdictional provisions in each Party’s laws concerning the importance of a case, an opportunity for judicial review of the legal aspects of initial judicial decisions on the merits of a case concerning the protection of an intellectual property right shall also be provided. (v) Notwithstanding the other provisions of paragraph 2(f). when a Party to this Agreement is sued with respect to infringement of an intellectual property right as a result of the use of that right by or for the government, the Party may limit remedies against the government to payment of full compensation to the right-holder. 3. For purposes of this Agreement: (a) “right-holder,” includes the right-holder himself, any other natural or legal person authorized by him who are exclusive licensees of the right, or other authorized persons, including federations and associations, having legal standing under domestic law to assert such rights; (b) “A manner contrary to honest commercial practice” is understood to encompass, inter alia, practices such as theft, bribery, breach of contract, inducement to breach, electronic and other forms of commercial espionage, and includes the acquisition, use or disclosure of trade secrets by third parties who knew, or had reasonable grounds to know, that such practices were involved in their acquisition of such information. (c) “Integrated circuit” means a product, in its final form or an intermediate form, in which the elements, at least one of which is an active element, and some or all of the interconnections are integrally formed in and/or on a piece of material and which is intended to perform an electronic function. 4. Subject to the requirement that such measures are not applied in a manner which would constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination between countries where the same conditions prevail, or a disguised restriction on international trade, nothing in this letter shall be construed to prohibit the adoption or enforcement by a Party of meas-107 STAT. 2700ures necessary to secure compliance with laws or regulations relating to the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights and the prevention of deceptive practices as set out in this letter. 5. Each Party agrees to submit for enactment no later than December 31, 1993 the legislation necessary to carry out the obligations of this letter and to exert its best efforts to enact and implement this legislation by that date. 6. The Parties acknowledge that, under the existing Romanian law, it is not possible to fully implement the provisions of this letter. Accordingly, the Government of Romania has undertaken the obligation set forth in paragraph 5 of the side letter to submit and exert best efforts to enact and implement amendments to existing laws or enact new laws. Pending the enactment of such amendments or new laws which fully implement the provisions of the exchange of letters, if it is brought to the attention of the Romanian Government by the Government of the United States that existing laws are being applied in a manner inconsistent with this side letter, the Government of Romanian shall promptly take appropriate steps to rectify the inconsistency, including accelerating the introduction and implementation of such amendments and new laws.

I have the further honor to propose this understanding be treated as an integral part of the Agreement. I would be grateful if you would confirm that this understanding is shared by your Government.

I have the further honor to confirm that the foregoing understanding is shared by my Government and constitutes an integral part of the Agreement.

Sincerely,

John R. Davis. Jr.
6578 July 2, 1993 National Literacy Day, 1993 and 1994 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6578 of July 2, 1993
National Literacy Day, 1993 and 1994 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

America is a grand and prosperous Nation. We enjoy the highest standard of living of any major nation, and we lead the world in many other aspects. For instance, many of the greatest educational institutions in the world are American. However, despite this success—or maybe because of it—Americans take many things for granted. Our relative wealth has often led us to neglect the basic strengths on which this Nation was founded and has prospered. One of these strengths is an education level for all Americans adequate to support a productive work force, strong family structures, and a responsible citizenry.

Literacy is fundamental for all facets of life, yet there are approximately 27 million adults who lack the most fundamental skills necessary to survive and succeed in our society. It is my goal as President of the United States to give all Americans the opportunity to learn to read, write, and develop basic skills. National Literacy Day provides us a time to reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that all Americans possess the basic reading and math skills on which all further learning must be built.

The fifth National Education Goal calls for every American, by the year 2000, to possess the knowledge and skills necessary to compete in a global economy. That goal highlights one critical fact of life: The world of work is changing rapidly. Americans, and especially young Americans, will never succeed in tomorrow’s economy with yesterday’s 107 STAT. 2701skills. That is why we must have the courage to change our education system to face the challenges of the 21st century.

My Administration’s education reform legislation, the Goals 2000: Educate America Act, establishes high academic and occupational standards, while providing support to States and communities to help them reach those standards. Fifty million Americans have no high school diploma, and half of those who do graduate do not go on to college. We must be sure that these Americans receive the education and training they need to compete in a high-wage, high-skills economic climate.

Literacy is not a luxury. It is a right and a responsibility. It is hard for most of us to imagine functioning in our society without the ability to complete a job application or balance a checkbook. It is a disadvantage that is intolerable in a Nation dedicated to the principles of freedom and equality.

In recent years progress has been made toward a more widely literate society. States and communities, volunteer and religious organizations, businesses and labor organizations have all made invaluable contributions to raising public awareness and assisting undereducated adults. I applaud the good work that these groups have done, and I encourage them to join in a partnership with our Federal initiatives to completely erase American illiteracy by the year 2000.

To recognize the urgent need to increase literacy to ensure the future well-being of our country and all its citizens, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 213, has designated July 2, 1993, and July 2, 1994, as “National Literacy Day” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim July 2, 1993, and July 2, 1994, as “National Literacy Day.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventeenth.

WILLIAM J. CLINTON
6579 July 4, 1993 To Implement an Accelerated Tariff Schedule of Duty Elimination and To Modify Rules of Origin Under the United States-Canada Free-Trade Agreement Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6579 of July 4, 1993
To Implement an Accelerated Tariff Schedule of Duty Elimination and To Modify Rules of Origin Under the United States-Canada Free-Trade Agreement By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. On January 2, 1988, the President entered into the United States-Canada Free-Trade Agreement (“the Agreement”). The Agreement and certain letters exchanged between the Governments of Canada and the United States were approved by the Congress in section 101(a) of the United States-Canada Free-Trade Agreement Implementation Act of 107 STAT. 27021988 (“Implementation Act”), Public Law 100–449. The Agreement entered into force on January 1, 1989. 2. Section 201(b) of the Implementation Act grants the President, subject to the consultation and lay-over requirements of section 103(a) of the Implementation Act, the authority to proclaim such modifications as to which the United States and Canada may agree regarding the staging of any duty treatment set forth in Annexes 401.2 and 401.7 to the Agreement as the President determines to be necessary or appropriate to maintain the general level of reciprocal and mutually advantageous concessions with respect to Canada provided for by the Agreement. 3. Consistent with Article 401(5) of the Agreement, I, through my duly empowered representative, on June 30, 1993, entered into an agreement with the Government of Canada providing an accelerated schedule of duty elimination for specific goods of Annex 401.2 to the Agreement. The consultation and lay-over requirements of section 103(a) of the Implementation Act with respect to such schedule have been complied with. 4. Pursuant to section 201(b) of the Implementation Act, I have determined that the modifications hereinafter proclaimed to existing duties on goods originating in the territory of Canada are necessary or appropriate to maintain the general level of reciprocal and mutually advantageous concessions with respect to Canada provided for by the Agreement and to carry out the agreement with Canada providing an accelerated schedule of duty elimination for specific goods of Annex 401.2 to the Agreement. 5. Section 202(d)(1) of the Implementation Act authorizes the President to proclaim, as a part of the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System, implemented by the United States as the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (“HTS”), the rules of origin set forth in Annex 301.2 of the Agreement. Section 202(d)(2) of the Implementation Act authorizes the President to proclaim, subject to the consultation and lay-over requirements of section 103(a) of the Implementation Act, such modifications to the rules as may from time to time be agreed to by the United States and Canada. I have decided, pursuant to an agreement entered into on June 30, 1993, between the United States and Canada, that certain modifications in the Agreement’s rules of origin for particular goods of the HTS should be proclaimed as a part of the HTS. The consultation and lay-over requirements of section 103 of the Implementation Act with respect to such modifications have been complied with. 6. Section 201(a) of the Implementation Act authorizes the President to proclaim such modifications to or continuance of existing duties, such continuance of existing duty-free or excise treatment, or such additional duties as the President determines to be necessary or appropriate to carry out Article 401 of the Agreement and the schedule of duty reductions with respect to goods originating in the territory of Canada set forth in Annexes 401.2 and 401.7 to the Agreement. 7. Proclamation 6515 of December 16, 1992, among other actions, provided for the continuation of previously proclaimed staged duty reductions on Canadian goods in the HTS provisions modified in Annex I to Proclamation 6515. An error was made concerning the staged reductions for HTS subheading 4421.90.95. Therefore, I have decided that it is necessary and appropriate to correct this error. 107 STAT. 2703 8. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the relevant provisions of that Act, of other acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import restriction.

6580 July 15, 1993 Captive Nations Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6580 of July 15, 1993
Captive Nations Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Since 1959, when the Congress designated the third week of July as “Captive Nations Week,” Americans have set aside this week to remember those who suffer under the yoke of oppressive governments. Many brave people who sought freedom and liberty brought down these totalitarian regimes, and this week we recognize their sacrifices. But we must also rededicate ourselves to those who are still struggling in regions of the world where human rights and individual liberties are not upheld.

Over two centuries ago our forefathers fought for the cause of freedom and democracy, and these ideals have continued to be embraced by nations around the world. As America declared its independence, our country provided inspiration for all those who did not enjoy the rights that we held to be self-evident. We cannot abandon those we have encouraged. Our efforts in the former Soviet Union and Central and Eastern Europe have been rewarded by a wave of freedom throughout the region. Furthermore, these nations have proven their resolve and commitment to the difficult and frustrating transition to democratic, mar-107 STAT. 2714ket-oriented systems that respect individual, social, political, and economic rights.

Yet today not everyone is free. There are still oppressive and authoritarian governments entrenched elsewhere in the world. Others are struggling for freedom and democracy, but need our help. Many nations in Latin America and Africa have been slower to introduce change. Tragically, even those in Europe are still threatened by atrocities fueled by ethnic hatred. For this reason, we must always remember the abuses that captive peoples have endured, continue to promote individual liberties, and call upon the nations of the world to protect human rights.

The Congress, by Joint Resolution approved July 17, 1959 (73 Stat. 212), has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation designating the third week in July of each year as “Captive Nations Week.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim July 11 through July 17, 1993, as Captive Nations Week. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. In doing this, I rededicate America to supporting the cause of human rights, democracy, peace, freedom, justice, and prosperity for all.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

National Veterans Golden Age Games Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Today, as many veterans reach their senior years, they are discovering the benefits of physical fitness and recreational activity. In Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical facilities, recreation has become an established part of the rehabilitation process. VA experience and research show that sports and competitive involvement can be enriching because of their physical benefits and because of their role in enhancing social, emotional, and psychological well-being.

Recognizing the need to establish meaningful activities for a rapidly growing number of aging veterans, the VA established the National Veterans Golden Age Games in 1983. Since then, numerous veterans have boosted their health and aided their rehabilitation through participation in this showcase program. These competitors remind us of the value of continued physical activity throughout a person’s life and the physical goals and fulfillment we can achieve, regardless of age. These games demonstrate that age is no barrier to living life to its fullest.

The 7th National Veterans Golden Age Games, being held at Mountain Home VA Medical Center in Johnson City, Tennessee, offers a multi-107 STAT. 2715event program of recreational competition for veterans, aged 55 and over, who are currently receiving VA medical care. Veterans whose military service covers the span of American history from World War I to Vietnam will participate.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 190, has designated July 17, 1993, through July 23, 1993, as “National Veterans Golden Age Games Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in its observance.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim July 17 through July 23, 1993, as National Veterans Golden Age Games Week. I urge all Americans to observe the week by remembering our hospitalized older veterans as they struggle to overcome infirmity and disability and to renew their own commitment to personal well-being through healthy recreational activity.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6582 July 27, 1993 40th Anniversary of the Korean Armistice Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6582 of July 27, 1993
40th Anniversary of the Korean Armistice By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The friendship between the United States and South Korea is one formed in blood, for our troops fought shoulder to shoulder in defense of freedom. On the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Korean Armistice, it is appropriate that we honor those who fell in defense of freedom and human dignity and that we strive to create a new vision of how we as a community of neighbors can live in peace in the post-Cold War era.

When President Truman sent American troops to Korea’s defense 43 years ago, he said he aimed to prove that “Free men under God can build a community of neighbors working together for the good of all.” The joint efforts of the United States and South Korea since then have benefited the citizens of our two countries and the peoples of the Asian Pacific region. Our relationship has made that region more secure, more prosperous, and more free.

I join with all Americans in paying tribute to those who served in the Korean War and in remembering those who died in that conflict. We must not forget the lessons we learned—the Korean War must not be the “Forgotten War.”

Veterans of Korea served America valiantly during one of the most destructive wars of this century. Their experiences remind all Americans of our great debt to those who have risked—and sometimes lost—their lives in defense of our liberty. As a Nation, we must always remember the sacrifices made by our men and women in uniform and by their 107 STAT. 2716families. I salute the distinguished service records of our veterans, as well as the sacrifices that they have made for America.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby urge all Americans to observe July 27, 1993—the 40th Anniversary of the Korean Armistice— with appropriate programs and activities.

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

As a mark of respect for the memory of General Matthew B. Ridgway, one of our Nation’s most venerated military leaders, I hereby order, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States of America by section 175 of title 36 of the United States Code, that on Friday, July 30, 1993, 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. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff on the same day 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 twenty-ninth day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6584 August 1, 1993 Helsinki Human Rights Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6584 of August 1, 1993
Helsinki Human Rights Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Since its inception in the 1970’s, the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) has been the premier forum in which the ongoing struggle for human rights and the dignity and worth of indi-107 STAT. 2717viduals in European nations has been waged. In the wake of the instability created by the outbreak of war in the former Yugoslavia, the CSCE states have embraced a strategy of preventive diplomacy as a way of resolving differences before they lead to conflict. The CSCE’s approach of combining a strong emphasis on human rights, preventive diplomacy, and multilateral action is an example of the kind of foreign policy I seek to pursue.

Yet, the dire situation in the former Yugoslavia gives pause to those who want to believe that the CSCE’s principles will be respected in nations emerging from totalitarian rule. We must work with these nations in order to guide them toward the principles we hold dear.

The CSCE has made a major contribution even in areas of instability and conflict. Through conflict-prevention missions, monitoring of sanctions, sponsorship of the Nagorno-Karabakh negotiations, activities of the High Commissioner on National Minorities, and the energetic program of the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, participating states have demonstrated their collective political commitment to transform CSCE principles into reality.

As we grapple with the great challenges the CSCE faces, we reaffirm our belief that security cannot be divorced from respect for human rights and the democratic process. We also reaffirm our commitment to the advancement of the rights of individuals, for it was individuals who stood in front of tanks and tore down the walls that split East from West. Individuals braved the wrath of repressive regimes in order to call on them to live up to their CSCE commitments. And individuals today continue to struggle to build democratic societies at peace with their neighbors. The groundbreaking work of the CSCE in establishing human rights and other standards to which all CSCE states have committed themselves has permanently strengthened European security.

In recognition of the contributions of the CSCE toward the expansion of human rights, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 111, has designated August 1, 1993, as “Helsinki Human Rights Day” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim August 1, 1993, as Helsinki Human Rights Day and reaffirm the American commitment to upholding human dignity and freedom—principles that are enshrined in the Helsinki Final Act. As we Americans observe this day with appropriate programs and activities, let us remember our courageous citizens who have made sacrifices to secure the freedoms that we enjoy. Let us work together to encourage respect for human rights and democratic values in all CSCE states.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

To Designate Peru as a Beneficiary Country for Purposes of the Andean Trade Preference Act By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Sections 202 and 204 of the Andean Trade Preference Act (ATPA) (19 U.S.C. 3201 and 3203) confer authority upon the President to proclaim duty-free treatment for all eligible articles, and duty reductions for certain other articles, that are the product of any country designated as a “beneficiary country” in accordance with the provisions of section 203 of the ATPA (19 U.S.C. 3202). Pursuant to section 203(b)(2) of the ATPA (19 U.S.C. 3202(b)(2)), I have notified the House of Representatives and the Senate of my intention to designate Peru as a beneficiary country for purposes of the ATPA, together with the considerations entering into such decision. I hereby designate Peru as a beneficiary country under the ATPA, and in order to reflect this designation in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), I have decided that it is necessary to modify general note 3(c)(ix) to the HTS. 2. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the relevant provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder, including the removal, modification, continuance, or imposition of any rate of duty or other import restriction.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited to section 203 of the ATPA and section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, do proclaim that:

(1) General note 3(c)(ix)(A) to the HTS is modified by inserting in alphabetical sequence “Peru”, which is hereby designated as a beneficiary country under the ATPA. (2) The modifications made by paragraph (1) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the 15th day after the date of publication of this proclamation in the Federal Register.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6586 August 18, 1993 Women’s Equality Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2719 Proclamation 6586 of August 18, 1993
Women’s Equality Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

On August 26, 1993, we celebrate the 73rd anniversary of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution. In declaring that the right to vote shall not be denied or abridged on account of sex, the Nineteenth Amendment guaranteed for women the most cherished prerogative of American citizenship.

Since America was founded, women have demonstrated an active interest in shaping the practice of democratic government. But it was not until the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment that women’s myriad contributions to the social, cultural, and economic life of our Nation began to receive the full acknowledgment they deserved. As women’s voices continue to gain strength in the political arena, female elected officials at every level of government bring crucial insight to the decision-making process.

The struggle for true equality among the sexes has not been limited to the public sphere. Broadening the franchise fundamentally changed our understanding of equal opportunity, helping to encourage shared responsibility in the home and personal growth in the work place. Today, more and more women are leading the way through advancements in law, science, business, and the arts. As we approach the 21st century, women’s unfailing strength and wisdom remain integral to ensuring the lasting prosperity of our Nation.

Each year, we observe August 26 as “Women’s Equality Day,” to honor the infinite sacrifices and contributions that women have made to the United States. On this occasion we reaffirm our national commitment to the distinctly American promise of guaranteed equality for all our people.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

National POW/MIA Recognition Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

This year we have witnessed major changes in the global political landscape. Although democracy is taking root in many new areas, the forces of repression pose continuing challenges around the world. Throughout this dynamic period, one theme rings true to all Americans: Our Nation owes a lasting debt of gratitude to all those selfless members of our Armed Forces who have risked their own freedom and 107 STAT. 2720safety to defend the lives and liberty of others. As a measure of our thanks and as an expression of our determination to keep faith with those who faithfully serve and defend us, we take this occasion to remember those special Americans for whom an accounting has not yet been made.

In honor of these Americans, on September 10, 1993, the flag of the National League of POW/MIA families will be flown over the White House; the U.S. Departments of State, Defense, and Veterans Affairs; the Selective Service System headquarters; and the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. This black and white banner—emblematic of America’s missing—flies as a stark reminder to the world of our Nation’s resolve. We acknowledge a continuing obligation to these casualties of war, America’s missing service members and civilians. Our Nation remains committed to this cause, a matter of highest national priority. We renew our pledge to obtain the answers that the family members of these heroes deserve, recognizing the profound loss they have endured and their steadfast resolve to gain the peace of certainty.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim September 10, 1993, as National POW/MIA Recognition Day. 1 urge all Americans to join in honoring former American POWs as well as those Americans still unaccounted for as a result of their service to our great Nation. I also encourage the American people to express their gratitude to the families of these missing Americans for their dedication to seeking the truth and their determination to persevere through the many years of waiting. Finally, I ask State and local officials and private organizations to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, 1 have hereunto set my hand this third day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety- three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

National D.A.R.E. Day, 1993 and 1994 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

America’s young people face some daunting challenges. One of the most difficult decisions they have to make is whether or not to use drugs. The signals they receive in this country, where only 5 percent of the world’s population consumes approximately 50 percent of the world’s illegal drugs, often encourage them to gamble away their future on the false security of momentary escape.

In the knowledge-based world of today, their future, as well as the future of America, rests on education. The successes in Europe and Asia have taught us that the nation most equipped to compete in the 21st 107 STAT. 2721century will be the nation that can best educate its children. Our students must be properly prepared to enter school and encouraged to complete their studies. They must be taught responsibility for themselves and their community. They must be first in math and science, as well as in literacy and vocational skills. Perhaps most important, they must be given safe classrooms, where they are free to hope for a bright future and where they are not bound in fear to a dark present.

Our National Education Goals were formulated to give America’s educators, parents, and students solid objectives in the field of education. Goal 6 of the National Education Goals demands that we develop safe, disciplined, and drug-free schools by the year 2000. My Goals 2000: Educate America Act provides the framework for our educators to reach all of these goals, but until we are successful at achieving Goal 6, we will be unable to implement any of our other education objectives.

Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.), a program developed by the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Unified School District to prevent drug use, now reaches 25 million students from Kindergarten to 12th grade in all 50 states. This program also touches youth in Australia, New Zealand, American Samoa, Canada, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Costa Rica, Mexico, Brazil, Hungary, and Department of Defense Dependent Schools worldwide.

Taught by veteran police officers, D.A.R.E. aims to prevent substance abuse among school-age children by providing accurate information about alcohol and drugs, by teaching decision-making skills, by educating students about the consequences of their actions, and by building self-esteem. Our students often need the influence and attention of these dedicated officers to combat the peer pressure they face every day on the streets.

In recognition of this anti-drug program’s promotion of cooperation among law enforcement, schools, officials, students, and parents, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 99, has designated September 9, 1993, and April 21, 1994, as “National D.A.R.E. Day” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of these days.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 9, 1993, and April 21, 1994, as National D.A.R.E. Day. I call upon the people of the United States, government officials, educators, and volunteers to observe the day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6589 September 13, 1993 Commodore John Barry Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2722 Proclamation 6589 of September 13, 1993
Commodore John Barry Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

During its War for Independence, our Nation faced a great and proven sea power. The young Continental Navy, which had been established by the Continental Congress in October 1775, was only a fraction of the size of the British fleet. Nevertheless, the small American naval force not only achieved several key victories during the War but also established a tradition of courageous service that continues to this day. On this occasion, we honor the memory of one of America’s first and most distinguished naval leaders, Commodore John Barry.

After immigrating to the United States from Ireland, John Barry became a successful shipmaster in Philadelphia. He was also an enthusiastic supporter of American independence, and when the Revolutionary War began, he readily volunteered for service and became one of the first captains of the Continental Navy.

Captain Barry served bravely and with distinction throughout the course of the War. While commanding the brig LEXINGTON, he captured the British sloop EDWARD in April 1776. This victory marked the first capture in battle of a British vessel by a regularly commissioned American warship. Later in 1776, he led a raid by four small boats against British vessels on the Delaware River and seized a significant quantity of supplies meant for the British Army. Seven years later, Captain Barry participated in the last American naval victory of the War, leading the frigate ALLIANCE against HMS SYBILLE in March 1783.

Serving as a volunteer artillery officer in December of that year, Captain Barry participated in General George Washington’s celebrated campaign to cross the Delaware River, which led to victory at the Battle of Trenton.

Captain Barry continued to serve our country after the end of the Revolution, helping to make the American victory a meaningful and enduring one. Active in Pennsylvania politics, he became a strong supporter of the Constitution, which was ratified by the State Assembly on December 12, 1787. In June 1794, President George Washington appointed him as commander of the new frigate USS UNITED STATES, one of six that were built as part of a permanent American naval armament. For the remaining years of his life. Commodore Barry helped to build and lead the new United States Navy, commanding not only USS UNITED STATES but also “Old Ironsides,” USS CONSTITUTION.

Commodore John Barry died on September 13, 1803, but his outstanding legacy of service is carried on today by all the brave and selfless Americans who wear the uniform of the United States Navy.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 157, has designated September 13, 1993, as “Commodore John Barry Day” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 13, 1993, as Com-107 STAT. 2723modore John Barry Day. I invite all Americans to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities in honor of those individuals, past and present, who have served in the United States Navy.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

Gold Star Mother’s Day By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

To become a parent is one of life’s greatest joys. We devote ourselves to our children, investing our hopes and dreams in them and protecting them so that they may have a better life than we have had. There is probably no greater pain, therefore, than the loss of a child. None of us expects to outlive our children, and when mortal hands rob us of our posterity, the loss is devastating.

Every Gold Star Mother has experienced this pain. As much as the soldiers themselves, these brave women know the meaning of sacrifice for country. Long after a slain soldier is laid to rest, that young man or woman’s mother will remember her loss every day for the rest of her life. When a mother bids farewell to a child in uniform, she begins to serve her country in her own private way, worrying that her child will be in harm’s way and that this young man or woman, in whom she has invested so much love and care, may pay the ultimate price on the battlefield. And when the unthinkable does happen, the Gold Star Mother must carry the wounds within her heart forever.

We have a sacred duty to remember the devotion of Gold Star Mothers. Like the brave soldiers who have lain down their lives in defense of our freedoms, their mothers have earned our deepest honor and sympathy, having sacrificed so much for America, yet continuing to give of themselves to ensure that the ideals of freedom and democracy live on for future generations. Their losses and their contributions can be no greater, and our obligation to them cannot be measured.

To pay fitting tribute to these women, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 115 on June 23, 1936 (49 Stat. 1895), designated the last Sunday in September as “Gold Star Mother’s Day” and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 26, 1993, as Gold Star Mother’s Day. I call on all government officials to display the United States flag on government buildings on this solemn day. I additionally urge the American people to display the flag and to hold appropriate meetings in their homes, places of worship, or other suitable 107 STAT. 2724places, as public expression of the sympathy and the respect that our Nation holds for its Gold Star Mothers.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6591 September 13, 1993 Minority Enterprise Development Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6591 of September 13, 1993
Minority Enterprise Development Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The national observance of Minority Enterprise Development Week is a decade-old tradition in which Americans of all races and ethnic groups convene to recognize and promote the achievements of more than one million minority business owners and entrepreneurs who support this Nation’s continued economic growth. During Minority Enterprise Development Week, Americans also honor the many diligent minority business advocates in government and the corporate sector whose constant pursuit of excellence keeps our economy strong.

Minority-owned businesses are valuable assets for America. Each year, minority business enterprises return valuable resources to their communities in the form of taxes and provide wages and employment for thousands—particularly for minority workers. Each day, successful minority entrepreneurs fulfill an even more vital function by serving as teachers, mentors, and models for young Americans who are our business and civic leaders of tomorrow.

There is room in the free enterprise system for anyone who has the skill and the determination to compete. Therefore, it is fitting that we encourage all Americans to participate in business enterprise, create their own wealth, and promote the general welfare. Minority business women and men have proven time and again that they possess the talent and dedication required for success. By improving the availability of capital sources for business starts and expansions in the minority community, by increasing access to state-of-the-art information resources for minority business owners, by promoting the minority entrepreneur’s entrance into new domestic and international markets, and by opening all doors to economic progress for minority citizens, all of American society will benefit.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of October 3 through 9, 1993, as Minority Enterprise Development Week. I heartily encourage the people of the United States to commemorate this important event with appropriate ceremonies and celebrations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and nine-107 STAT. 2725ty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6592 September 15, 1993 National Hispanic Heritage Month, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6592 of September 15, 1993
National Hispanic Heritage Month, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

One of our Nation’s greatest strengths is its vast diversity. The mosaic of races, ethnicities, and religious groups that comprise America provides us with a powerful energy and an ability to see the world from many viewpoints. Since our country’s inception, Hispanic Americans have always been an integral part of this great mosaic. Indeed the history, culture, and traditions of America are greatly influenced by the contributions of those individuals who have their origins in Spain and Latin America.

While the impact of the Hispanic culture is manifest in our Nation’s customs and traditions, this legacy continues on beyond the pages of history. Today, Hispanic Americans continue to make important contributions to our society. It would be impossible to think of American Government, business, industry, Armed Forces, agriculture, science, sports, and the arts without noting the presence and full participation of Hispanic Americans. Ellen Ochoa, who has served America proudly as our first Hispanic woman astronaut; Cesar Chavez, whose lifelong passion and commitment uplifted the lives of millions of agricultural workers; Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Henry Cisneros and Secretary of Transportation Federico Pefia; Master Sergeant Roy P. Benavidez, who won the Medal of Honor for his service in Vietnam; and millions of other Hispanic Americans whose hard work keeps our Nation moving—all of these patriotic Americans draw their heritage from the rich Hispanic culture.

Many of the traditions that Americans hold so dear are deeply rooted in the Hispanic American values of a strong sense of family, devotion to religious beliefs, and dedication to liberty and democracy. Committed dearly to these precious ideals, Hispanic Americans are helping all of us to uphold the legacy of our democratic society.

America is an ongoing experiment—an unfinished work. There is much for all of us still to accomplish in order to ensure a brighter and more peaceful world for our children. I know that Hispanic Americans, always conscious of the traditions of their forebears, will continue to work with Americans of every racial, religious, and ethnic background to confront our Nation’s health, housing, educational, and human rights concerns. The principles that are such a part of the Hispanic American tradition will serve all of our people well as we strive to address the challenges that the future holds for us.

To commemorate the Hispanic American contributions to our Nation, the Congress, by Public Law 90–498 of September 17, 1968, as amended, has authorized and requested the President to issue annually a 107 STAT. 2726proclamation designating the month beginning September 15 and ending October 15 as “National Hispanic Heritage Month.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month beginning September 15, 1993, and ending October 15, 1993, as National Hispanic Heritage Month. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6593 September 17, 1993 Citizenship Day and Constitution Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6593 of September 17, 1993
Citizenship Day and Constitution Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

September 17, 1787, is one of the most important, yet ironically one of the least known, dates in American history. On that day the delegates to the Philadelphia Convention completed their work by signing and reporting to the Continental Congress their proposed Constitution of the United States. Despite the enormous growth of our Nation in terms of population, industry, culture, and technology since 1787, the document drafted by 55 patriots during that summer in Philadelphia remains the fundamental law of our land.

Chief Justice Marshall wrote that the Constitution was “designed to approach immortality as nearly as human institutions can approach it.” Our Constitution is by far the oldest written framework for government in existence. The extraordinary longevity of the Constitution suggests that the British statesman William Gladstone was not exaggerating when he described our Constitution as “the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man.”

The Constitution’s endurance is, of course, a tribute to the wisdom and statesmanship of the Framers. But it is also a tribute to our continuing commitment to the fundamental precept of constitutionalism. The Constitution has served us well, but the same document, if given to a people without an appreciation of and a commitment to the rule of law, would be worse than useless. Thus, as we mark the 206th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution, we celebrate not only the genius of the Founders, but also the fidelity of our people to the principles embodied in the Constitution.

If we are to maintain that commitment to government under law, we need to read and study the Constitution. Only by becoming familiar with its provisions can we understand and truly appreciate the Constitution’s principles. Among the groups of Americans that have demonstrated their familiarity with the Constitution are naturalized Americans. As part of the naturalization process, persons seeking citizenship 107 STAT. 2727must pass an examination on the principles of American Government. That hundreds of thousands of people come to this country every year with the dream of becoming American citizens eloquently attests to the success of the venture in self-government launched by our Constitution. It is the duty of all Americans to understand this document and the rights and responsibilities it conveys.

In commemoration of the signing of the Constitution, and in recognition of all those who as citizens of this Republic share the responsibility for preserving and protecting our constitutional heritage, the Congress has designated September 17, 1993, as “Citizenship Day” and the week beginning September 17, 1993, as “Constitution Week.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 17, 1993, as “Citizenship Day” and the week beginning September 17, 1993, as “Constitution Week.” I call upon the people of the United States to observe these occasions with appropriate ceremonies and activities, and I urge them to devote themselves to the study and discussion of the Constitution.

I further call upon the officials of the Government to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on September 17, 1993, in honor of Citizenship Day.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

National Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Our Nation’s historically Black colleges and universities have long been a beacon of hope, a door to advancement, and a source of pride for African Americans. Founded upon a commitment to equal opportunity and academic excellence, these distinguished institutions have enabled thousands of people to receive a quality education and to pursue distinguished careers in fields such as education, law, medicine, business, the arts, engineering, and the military.

Historically Black colleges and universities once offered African Americans their best, and often only, opportunities for higher education. Fortunately, the courts have now struck down legal barriers that forced the creation of separate schools for African Americans. Yet historically Black colleges and universities continue to play a vital role by adding to the diversity and caliber of the Nation’s higher education system. Furthermore, these institutions remind all Americans of our obligation to uphold the principles of justice and equality enshrined in our Constitution.

107 STAT. 2728

By an Executive order issued on April 28, 1989, the President’s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities was established to advise the President and the Secretary of Education on strengthening these valued institutions. The Executive order directed Federal agencies to devise ways to increase the ability of historically Black colleges and universities to participate in Federally funded programs. It also underscored the importance of increasing private sector support for these schools through such devices and activities as matching funds programs, management assistance, technical development, and curriculum planning.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, and in recognition of the rich heritage and prominent role in our country of historically Black colleges and universities, and of the many contributions these institutions and their graduates have made to our society, do hereby proclaim the period beginning September 19, 1993, and ending September 25, 1993, as National Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week. I call upon all Americans to observe this week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities as an expression of their support for these important educational institutions.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

National Farm Safety and Health Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The men and women who toil in America’s agricultural sector endure many challenges and hardships in bringing to market their diverse and high quality foods and grains. This dedication to efficient production contributes significantly to the competitiveness of our Nation. Because we benefit from the bountiful harvests of these farmers and ranchers, it is fitting and appropriate that we observe National Farm Safety and Health Week to promote public awareness of the need for and the importance of agricultural worker health and safety.

For decades, much has been accomplished through initiatives aimed at providing a safer environment for farmers, ranchers, and farm workers. Significant engineering advances have provided guards, shields, and protective equipment, which reduce the hazards and risks associated with agriculture. Educators and concerned organizations have increased knowledge and changed attitudes and behaviors relating to safe work practices in the agricultural sector. However, there is still much to be accomplished.

107 STAT. 2729

The arena of agricultural worker health presents many challenges. Long hours, the pressures associated with growing crops and raising livestock, and the vagaries of weather contribute to the creation of stressful situations to both body and mind. For example, agricultural workers have been shown to be particularly susceptible to skin problems, most notably skin cancer, due to exposure to the sun. Prolonged periods of loud noise are contributing to higher than normal levels of permanent hearing loss among farmers and ranchers. Constant exposure to hazardous chemicals may also predispose workers to health problems. While farming and ranching offer their practitioners many great returns, it should be recognized that agricultural professions are among the most dangerous.

The next generation of farmers and ranchers is at special risk. Children are routinely exposed to powerful, complex farm equipment. Some chemicals and some work hazards such as dusts and flowing grain may detrimentally affect the health and safety of children. Their maturity and development must always be considered with regard to agricultural work. During National Farm Safety and Health Week, all of our Nation’s citizens should resolve to make health and safety initiatives an integral part of America’s great farming traditions.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of September 19–25, 1993, as “National Farm Safety and Health Week.” I urge all citizens of our great Nation to make the enhancement of farmer, rancher and farm worker health of utmost priority. I call upon the agencies, organizations and businesses which serve production agriculture to strengthen their commitment to agricultural safety and health programs.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

National Rehabilitation Week, 1993 and 1994 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Millions of Americans with disabilities are able to achieve independence and lead active, productive lives with the assistance of rehabilitation therapy. Estimates indicate that half of the Nation’s population will at some point in their lives need assistance in overcoming some form of physical, mental, emotional, or social disability. “National Rehabilitation Week” seeks to recognize not only the individuals who have learned to cope with their disabilities but also the dedicated health care professionals who have provided assistance through research, education, and therapy.

107 STAT. 2730

In tribute to these individuals and their many contributions to our society, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 50, has designated the periods beginning September 19 and ending September 25, 1993, and beginning September 18 and ending September 24, 1994, as National Rehabilitation Week, and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of these weeks.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the periods beginning September 19, 1993, and ending September 25, 1993, and beginning September 18, 1994, and ending September 24, 1994, as National Rehabilitation Week. I call upon all Americans to observe these weeks with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities as an expression of their support.

Politically, economically, and environmentally, our world is changing, and so are our energy choices. Our Nation has been blessed with a wide variety of energy resources. America’s diverse climate, geography, and natural resources give us a flexibility unmatched in the world. It is our duty to use our energy resources wisely by increasing energy efficiency, commercializing renewable resources, and developing innovative, clean technologies.

The energy choices we make affect every aspect of our lives. The theme of Energy Awareness Month, 1993, New Energy Choices for a Changing World, highlights the importance of these decisions. In our homes, energy efficient appliances and “green” computers, such as those that qualify under the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Energy Star Program, save us money and help to preserve the environment. On our Nation’s highways, powering our vehicles with alternative fuels will help us conserve energy, develop new resources, and reduce our dependence on foreign oil. In our industries, advanced lighting, such as the systems promoted by the EPA Green Lights Program, makes our businesses more efficient, more environmentally sound, and more competitive in world markets. In the coming century, the challenge will be very great to protect our precious environment and produce sustainable economic growth. Our Nation’s energy use is a critical and significant part of this challenge. We must work to find more efficient ways to use current resources, and search for new ones.

To encourage each American to join in this effort to improve our Nation’s energy future, I urge participation in activities that further our 107 STAT. 2731understanding and appreciation of how we can meet energy challenges and contribute to energy solutions in our changing world.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 1993 as Energy Awareness Month.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6599 September 30, 1993 To Amend the Generalized System of Preferences Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6599 of September 30, 1993
To Amend the Generalized System of Preferences By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Pursuant to sections 501 and 502 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (“Trade Act”) (19 U.S.C. 2461 and 2462), and having due regard for the eligibility criteria set forth therein, I have determined that it is appropriate to designate Russia as a beneficiary developing country for purposes of the Generalized System of Preferences (“GSP”). 107 STAT. 2732 2. Section 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2483) authorizes the President to embody in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (“HTS”) the substance of the provisions of that Act, and of other acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including but not limited to sections 501 and 604 of the Trade Act, do proclaim that:

(1) General note 3(c)(ii)(A) to the HTS, listing those countries whose products are eligible for benefits of the GSP, is modified by inserting “Russia” in alphabetical order in the enumeration of independent countries. (2) Any provisions of previous proclamations and Executive orders inconsistent with the provisions of this proclamation are hereby superseded to the extent of such inconsistency. (3) The modifications to the HTS made by paragraph (1) of this proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles that are: (i) imported on or after January 1, 1976, and (ii) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 15 days after the date of publication of this proclamation in the Federal Register.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6600 September 30, 1993 National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6600 of September 30, 1993
National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Breast cancer will affect an estimated 182,000 women in 1993. It accounts for nearly one-third of all cancers diagnosed in women, making it one of the most serious health problems we face in America today. Each year, we designate one month to focus public attention on where we as a Nation stand with regard to this disease. This October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it is appropriate that we pause to consider, not only the strategies we have developed to combat breast cancer, but also the progress we have made in our fight, even as we acknowledge the high toll it takes on so many lives.

Breast cancer prevention research is playing an increasingly important role in our strategy to overcome this disease. Although we still have much to learn about what causes breast cancer, we do know that certain conditions or behaviors substantially increase a woman’s risk of developing this disease. Some risks can be avoided, and researchers hope that others can be minimized. For this reason, the National Institutes of Health, through its component institutes—especially the Na-107 STAT. 2733tional Cancer Institute—has launched important studies to assess the extent to which changes in diet and the use of the drug tamoxifen, which is effective in treating breast cancer, can prevent the development of this disease in women who are at increased risk.

The Woman’s Health Trial is an exciting, innovative undertaking that aims to change dietary habits so that less fat is consumed and more fruits, vegetables, and fiber are added to our diet each day. There is some evidence to suggest a link between breast cancer and fat in the diet, at least for older women. What we hope to learn from this study is how best to help women change their eating habits and, thus, protect themselves, not only from breast cancer, but also from other cancers and conditions that are related to diet.

While there is much to be said about this disease, one important message must reach everyone: Women should form a partnership with their health care providers for the early detection of breast cancer, a key component of our nationwide program to reduce the toll of this disease. Research has shown that screening mammography, used together on a regular basis with a clinical breast exam and monthly breast self-examination, can reduce deaths from this disease by one-third or more for women over 50. I am pleased that the Federal Government has been a leader in authorizing payment for screening mammography for women enrolled in Federal health care programs. It is also reassuring that insurance companies have followed suit, recognizing that the benefits of early detection far outweigh its costs. As we look to create a health care system in America that works for all people, we must be certain that we emphasize such preventative techniques as regular screening for breast cancer.

We face a major public education challenge in breast cancer awareness. Every woman must be reassured that she can become a partner with the health care system in ensuring that should she develop breast cancer, it will be found and treated early. Through education programs, women come to understand what actions they can take to prevent cancer. To be sure, success depends on providing the public with understandable, credible messages—but that is only half of the story. Unless every woman can be assured access to affordable medical care, including mammography and physicians’ services to help in the detection of small tumors, public education campaigns will not be effective.

In spite of the best efforts of the health care community to encourage prevention and early detection, we know that thousands of women, nonetheless, will develop breast cancer, and many of them will die from it. Thus, the search to find effective treatments must continue, as must efforts to find effective therapies that have a minimal impact on the quality of a woman’s life. We have come a long way from the time when extensive surgery was a woman’s only treatment option for breast cancer. Lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy is a treatment approach that helps many women avoid disfiguring surgery. Many women now receive treatment with chemotherapy to shrink a tumor before surgery is done so that the breast can be spared; others receive chemotherapy after surgery to augment the primary treatment. While we still have much to learn, the rate at which our knowledge has increased is remarkable. We must build on past successes and continue our commitment to basic research. True progress will require that we not waver in this commitment.

107 STAT. 2734

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 95, has designated October 1993 as “National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of October 1993 as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I invite the Governors of the 50 States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Mayor of the District of Columbia, and the appropriate officials of all other areas under the American flag to issue similar proclamations. I also ask health care professionals, private industry, community groups, insurance companies, and all other interested organizations and individual citizens to unite to publicly reaffirm our Nation’s continuing commitment to research and public education on breast cancer.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6601 September 30, 1993 Fire Prevention Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6601 of September 30, 1993
Fire Prevention Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Fire kills more Americans each year than all natural disasters combined, including floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and tornadoes. Unlike these natural disasters, many fire losses can be prevented. During this annual observance of Fire Prevention Week, we must make our fellow citizens more conscious of the dangers of fire and of what to do when fires occur.

This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme, “Get Out, Stay Out: Your Fire Safe Response,” drives home the importance of planning for fire emergencies before they occur. The United States Fire Administration and the National Fire Protection Association are working with the Nation’s fire service to spread this important message. Time and time again, firefighters respond to fatal fires where residents didn’t take the time to learn and practice alternate means of escape, or they did not realize the need to get out quickly and stay out. We need to teach our children that fires are not at all like they see in movies; fire spreads quickly and can rapidly become deadly. Thick smoke makes it difficult to see and breathe, and the temperature is scorching. The number one priority in every fire is to escape from the building and stay out.

I urge all Americans to learn how to respond quickly in case of a fire emergency, and I urge our Nation’s employers to provide a fire emergency response plan for the workplace so that all employees will know what to do if fire occurs. Effective fire escape plans should include two ways out of every room, and assurance that all exits are accessible. Windows painted shut, blocked doors, and security bars can be deadly hazards that can trap fire victims inside and hinder rescuers’ attempts from outside. Equally important, we must resist any temptation to re-enter a burning building. No valuable is worth as much as a life.

107 STAT. 2735

Fire Prevention Week is a time not only to think about our own safety, but also to show our appreciation to the brave men and women who risk their safety in our Nation’s fire services. Too often, their dedication results in the ultimate sacrifice. Last year, 80 firefighters died in the line of duty and more than 97,000 were injured. These courageous men and women will be honored on Sunday, October 10, 1993, during the Twelfth Annual National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

We should also recognize the members of the other public and private organizations that are working toward our shared goal of fire safety, including the American Bum Association, the American Red Cross, the Congressional Fire Service Institute, the Fire Marshals Association of North America, the International Association of Arson Investigators, the International Association of Black Professional Firefighters, the International Association of Fire Chiefs, the International Association of Fire Fighters, the International Society of Fire Service Instructors, the National Association of State Fire Marshals, and the National Volunteer Fire Council. The efforts of these and other organizations working for fire safety will be greatly enhanced if we as individual citizens learn and practice fire-safe behavior. I also commend the efforts of public officials, fire-fighters, educators, business leaders, and the community and volunteer organizations who are working together to bring about a safer America.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 3, 1993, as Fire Prevention Week. I call upon the people of the United States to plan and actively participate in fire prevention activities not only this week, but throughout the year. 1 also ask all Americans to pay tribute to those firefighters who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our safety.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6602 October 4, 1993 Child Health Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6602 of October 4, 1993
Child Health Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Our children are our future. Therefore, making sure that our children are healthy must be a national concern. For 65 years, Presidents of the United States have proclaimed one day every year as “Child Health Day,” a time to focus on the health and well-being of our Nation’s children. Over the years, we have recognized again and again that it is better to try to guarantee the health of our children than to attempt to restore their health once it has been jeopardized. A healthy childhood charts a path for a healthy adult life. Prevention is, therefore, primary. 107 STAT. 2736Through preventive measures, we help children avoid the pain and suffering of disease and disability; we stop unnecessary spending; and we decrease the number of childhood deaths.

We possess the ability to prevent many childhood diseases and injuries, and we must use this ability. Every child needs access to primary health care. The necessary immunizations against nine different contagious diseases must be given to children at the recommended ages. Injuries, the greatest threat to our children’s well-being, can be reduced by introducing into our daily routines various safety measures. For example, the use of car seats, seat belts, and bicycle helmets helps to guard against hazards to which children are especially vulnerable. There are dangers in the home, as well, such as careless storage of poisons and unlocked staircase gates. Paying attention to our children and to potential risks to their safety can help to safeguard them in our homes.

We can prevent our children from making unhealthy choices, both by the rules we set for them and by the rules we follow ourselves. Many of the behaviors that will affect their health—choices about what to eat; the dangers of smoking, drinking, using illegal drugs, or irresponsible sexual behavior; how to handle their feelings and the pressure of their peers—will be learned from the models they see around them. We have an opportunity, as well as a responsibility, to shape the future for our children. In our personal lives, that responsibility extends to those whose lives we touch in our families and in our communities.

The Congress, by joint resolution approved May 18, 1928, as amended (36 U.S.C. 143), has called for the designation of the first Monday in October as “Child Health Day” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday, October 4, 1993, as Child Health Day. On that day and every day throughout the year, I urge all Americans to renew their commitment to protecting and developing our most valuable asset—our children.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6603 October 5, 1993 Mental Illness Awareness Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6603 of October 5, 1993
Mental Illness Awareness Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Almost 50 million Americans have serious emotional disorders or illnesses. The economic and human costs of these disorders are staggering. Treatment expenses and lost productivity cost the United States over one hundred Dillion dollars a year. The pain and suffering caused 107 STAT. 2737by mental illness are immeasurable for the individuals afflicted and their families.

The consequences of untreated mental illnesses and emotional disturbances are clear. Suicide is 30 times more common among people who are clinically depressed than among the general population. Persons with mental illness often live in poverty and are at risk for homelessness and disease. The mentally ill may find themselves in jail or prison, not for any criminal act, but rather because no other facilities are available to respond to psychiatric emergencies.

Research has led to major advances, not only in the development of treatments for mental illnesses, but also in die understanding of the needs of the individuals who live with mental illnesses. With appropriate care and support, many people who have these disorders can live productive and fulfilling lives. Unfortunately, less than one-third of all individuals in need of mental health services actually receive appropriate care. Children, probably the most vulnerable among the mentally ill population, are the least likely to receive care, with less than one-fifth of those in need of services receiving them. The barriers to effective treatment are numerous. Individuals may be unaware that treatment can help them or may be hesitant to seek help for fear of discrimination or ridicule. In many instances, individuals actually lack access to appropriate services. We must work to remove the stigma of mental illness and to educate the public about the availability and effectiveness of mental health treatment.

The Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), a component of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration in the Department of Health and Human Services, was created in 1992 to provide vigorous Federal leadership in the development and delivery of mental health services. CMHS plays a unique role in working with other Federal agencies and departments whose programs and policies affect the lives of the mentally ill, their families, and their communities. CMHS also works closely with State and local governments and the private sector to guarantee continuity, integration of services, and access to comprehensive systems of care. CMHS supports policy studies, evaluations, and assessments on service delivery issues that are critical for Federal, State, and local policymakers as they organize and finance systems of care.

In recognition of the importance of improving the delivery of mental health services and of educating the American public about the needs of individuals with mental illness, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 61, has designated the week of October 3 through October 9, 1993, as Mental Illness Awareness Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 3, 1993, as Mental Illness Awareness Week. I call upon all citizens of the United States to observe this week with ceremonies and activities to increase the Nation’s understanding and acceptance of people with mental illness and to encourage recognition of their need for a broad array of treatment services.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, 107 STAT. 2738and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6604 October 5, 1993 German-American Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6604 of October 5, 1993
German-American Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The makeup of the United States of America is a diverse one, a rich tapestry of different cultures and ethnic origins, stronger and more vibrant because of its variety. The German culture contributes a substantial piece to the American mosaic, and German-Americans have given much to our Nation in the arts, the sciences, the business world, academia, and government. It is fitting that we celebrate these innumerable contributions to our great Nation by marking October 6 as “German-American Day.”

The first German settlers arrived in America 310 years ago—harbingers of the more than seven million to follow. German immigrants have thrived in America, finding our Nation’s political and economic culture fertile ground for securing the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for themselves and for their children. Today, citizens of German ancestry comprise the largest ethnic group in the United States.

German-Americans today look with pride to a free and unified Germany as the living symbol of the best in their heritage. Americans look with satisfaction at the enduring friendship between the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States of America. This friendship is rooted in a long line of immigrants and was replanted in the ashes of the Second World War and nurtured through the storms of national division and Cold War confrontation. Warmed by the benefits of peaceful commerce and strengthened by the myriad personal relationships between the German and American peoples, the friendship has flourished.

The United States and the Federal Republic of Germany face formidable challenges in the post-Cold War era, challenges that we approach with greater confidence because we stand together, united in common democratic values.

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 121, has designated October 6, 1993, as “German-American Day” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 6, 1993, as German-American Day. I urge all Americans to learn more about the contributions of German immigrants to the United States in all fields of human endeavor and to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. .

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, 107 STAT. 2739and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6605 October 6, 1993 National Disability Employment Awareness Month, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6605 of October 6, 1993
National Disability Employment Awareness Month, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The United States has long been a champion of the civil rights of individuals, and it is only natural that we now serve in the forefront of efforts to ensure equal opportunity for persons with disabilities. Inspired by the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990, other nations have begun to reexamine the challenges faced by their citizens with disabilities. The ADA, which prohibits discrimination in employment, public accommodations, government services, transportation, and communications, provides a practical model for people everywhere to ensure that individuals with disabilities will not be excluded from the social, cultural, and economic mainstream.

Together we have begun shifting disability policy in America from exclusion to inclusion; from dependence to independence; from paternalism to empowerment. And we have made a firm commitment—a national pledge of civil rights for people with disabilities—to enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act. We cannot be satisfied until all citizens with disabilities receive equal treatment under the law, whether in the workplace, in schools, in government, or in the courts. We will not be satisfied as a Nation until we have fully implemented the laws that offer equal opportunity for Americans with disabilities, including the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

We do not have a single person to waste. Citizens with disabilities want to lead full, independent, and productive lives. They want to work; they want to pay their fair share of taxes; they want to be self-supporting citizens. America must enable the 43 million talented Americans with disabilities to contribute by offering them the individualized training and education we offer everyone else.

Our Nation can ill afford to waste this vast and only partially tapped source of knowledge, skills, and talent. In addition to being costly— over $300 billion is expended annually at the Federal, State, and local levels to financially support potentially independent individuals—this waste of human ability cannot be reconciled with our tradition of individual dignity, self-reliance, and empowerment. As we work to achieve thorough and harmonious implementation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, we will open the doors of opportunity for millions of people, thereby expanding, not only the ranks of the employed, but also the ranks of consumers. These individuals and their families will thus be able to pursue the real American Dream.

I congratulate the small business and industry leaders, labor leaders, and community leaders from all walks of life who are working together to implement the ADA and the Rehabilitation Act, and I commit the resources and cooperation of the Federal Government toward that ef-107 STAT. 2740fort. Our ongoing progress attests to the fundamental vitality and openness of our free enterprise system and to our abiding commitment to civil rights for all. Every American needs a chance to contribute. Our work is far from finished. America needs the continued leadership of every citizen to fulfill the promise of the Americans with Disabilities Act and related laws.

The Congress, by joint resolution approved August 11, 1945, as amended (36 U.S.C. 155) has called for the designation of October of each year as “National Disability Employment Awareness Month.” This month is a special time for all Americans to recognize the tremendous potential of citizens with disabilities and to renew our commitment to ill inclusion and equal opportunity for them, as for every citizen.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 1993 as National Disability Employment Awareness Month. I call on all Americans to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities that affirm our determination to fulfill both the letter and the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6606 October 7, 1993 Country Music Month, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6606 of October 7, 1993
Country Music Month, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Country music is one of America’s unique musical forms. Our immigrant ancestors from Great Britain and Ireland brought their tunes and melodies with them, and those songs were reshaped by life and landscape in our new Nation. In Appalachia, the Piedmonts, the Ozarks, the Mississippi Delta, and the Pine Barrens, those songs and ballads were forged from the spirit of working men and women, farmers and field laborers, miners and railroad workers, and pioneers crossing the Great Plains.

They blended with songs of African Americans, Mexican Americans, and Cajuns. Out of this wellspring came Western swing, honkytonk, blues, gospel, and shape note music, creating a family of many musical cousins. Country music is not one voice, but many, irresistible to the ear and to any heart that likes to sing. The instruments that accompany the songs are also from our ancestors of many lands—the dulcimer from Germany, the fiddle from all of Europe, the banjo from Africa.

Country music is about the American story. It fuses the traditions of many cultures and celebrates what makes us Americans. Country lyrics tell tales of life and love, joy and heartbreak, toil and celebration. From early folk singers like Woody Guthrie to such legends as Roy Acuff, 107 STAT. 2741Hank Williams, and Patsy Cline to today’s bright stars—the singers all let loose the soulful music inside their hearts. In its rhythms and words, we can hear the lonesome sound, as well as the festive spirit, of our beloved land.

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 102, has designated the month of October as “Country Music Month.” I urge all Americans to join me in recognizing the role that country music has played in shaping our cultural heritage.

Country Music Month is a time to recognize the contributions of singers, songwriters, musicians, and all in the industry who work to bring us the very best of country music and dance. Throughout the month of October, let us celebrate country music in our homes and towns across the United States.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 1993 as Country Music Month.

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

Leif Erikson Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

At this time every year, Americans celebrate Leif Erikson Day. In so doing, we commemorate the voyages of the great Norse explorer who first set foot on North America nearly a thousand years ago. At the same time, we also celebrate the enduring ties between America and the Nordic countries and take note of the outstanding contributions that Nordic Americans have made to the United States. In a sense, the bonds that Leif Erikson—son of Iceland, grandson of Norway—forged continue unbroken today. We maintain an impressive exchange of people and ideas with the Nordic countries.

The early settlers inherited an adventurous spirit that had led their ancestors from Scandinavia to much of Europe and into the Atlantic. In addition, these adventurers started from lands that were already half-way points between the Old World and the New. Even today, the Nordic countries, which possess a commitment to open, democratic societies and to peaceful relations among nations, serve as links between Europe and the rest of the world.

At a time when the relations between Europe and America are being redefined, the Nordic countries retain their important role in fostering democracy, transatlantic cooperation, and an open trading system. Their many contributions to international diplomacy, humanitarian assistance, and peacekeeping in the world’s trouble spots set a high standard that the rest of the world greatly admires. Americans who 107 STAT. 2742trace their roots to the Nordic countries—Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden—not only continue to enrich their new home-land, but also play a key part in providing a link across the Atlantic, just as their ancestors did a thousand years ago.

In honor of Leif Erikson and of our Nordic-American heritage, the Congress, by joint resolution approved on September 2, 1964 (Public Law 88–566), has authorized and requested the President to proclaim October 9 of each year as “Leif Erikson Day.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 9, 1993, as Leif Erikson Day. I also encourage the people of the United States to observe this occasion by learning more about our rich Nordic-American heritage and the early history of our continent.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

Columbus Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

During 1993 the world has embarked on new trails to expand humanity’s horizons and to promote the betterment of the human condition. As we look with hope to the future, we also pay homage to our past and to those who have helped shape our Nation and continent. It is therefore fitting that the voyages of Christopher Columbus be remembered. I welcome this opportunity to salute this man of great courage, who, in defiance of popular myth and hardship, had the vision to explore the unknown.

Even though the Quincentennial celebrations of Columbus’ landfall are past, it is still our duty to promote understanding between the old and new worlds. It is important to commemorate the mutual discovery of Europeans and Native Americans and the transformations, through toil and pain, that gave birth to brave new hopes for a better future.

For the United States, it is especially significant that we recognize the daring voyages of Christopher Columbus. As a people whose land was founded on dreams, we proceed today, just as Columbus did, with courage to overcome obstacles and search for new paths to lead us into an unknown, but promising, future.

Many people in the United States have special reason to remember and celebrate the histories of the old and new worlds. America, a Nation of diverse peoples, has been enriched by the blending of many heritages. Americans of international descent, along with Native Americans, have contributed mightily to molding the framework of our great land, united by our allegiance to the principles of equality, democracy, and 107 STAT. 2743freedom. We all take justifiable pride in our accomplishments and dedicate ourselves to the pursuit of our dreams.

In tribute to Columbus’ achievement, the Congress of the United States by joint resolution of April 30, 1934 (48 Stat. 657), and an Act of June 28, 1968 (82 Stat. 250), has requested the President to proclaim the second Monday in October of each year as “Columbus Day.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON. President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 11, 1993, as Columbus Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I also direct that the flag of the United States be displayed on all public buildings on the appointed day in honor of Christopher Columbus.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

National School Lunch Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Since 1946, the National School Lunch Program has demonstrated a partnership between Federal, State, and local officials in providing nutritious low-cost and free meals to America’s schoolchildren. Our commitment to the National School Lunch Program reflects our recognition of the importance of nutrition to our children’s health and to our Nation’s future.

Currently, the National School Lunch Program operates in more than 90 percent of the Nation’s public schools and serves about 25 million lunches a day. Many of our children receive their only nutritious meal of the day at school. These school meals not only increase students’ attention span and learning capabilities, but also improve their overall health. School lunches also teach children good dietary habits. Cafeterias become learning laboratories, putting into practice the classroom lessons learned by the students on the importance of nutrition to health and well-being.

There is no longer any question that diet is related to good health, and school meal programs should meet the Dietary Guidelines for Americans so that children get nutritious meals. Like preventive medicine, the value of school lunches will multiply and the benefits will last a lifetime. National School Lunch Week affords us the opportunity to take a fresh look at the National School Lunch Program to determine what changes are necessary in order to meet these dietary guidelines. We also can recognize health professionals, school food service personnel, teachers, principals, parents, community leaders, and others for their commitment to ensuring that the lunches served in their schools will provide the nutrition so important to young students.

107 STAT. 2744

In recognition of the contributions of the National School Lunch Program to the nutritional well-being of children, the Congress, by joint resolution of October 9, 1962 (Public Law No. 87–780), has designated the week beginning the second Sunday in October in each year as “National School Lunch Week” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 10, 1993, as National School Lunch Week. I call upon all Americans to recognize those individuals whose efforts contribute to the success of this valuable program.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6610 October 9, 1993 General Pulaski Memorial Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6610 of October 9, 1993
General Pulaski Memorial Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Each October 11, on the anniversary of his death in battle, America honors General Casimir Pulaski, a hero of two nations.

A patriot to the core, Pulaski loved his native Poland dearly. In unequal battle against far stronger enemies, he fought for his country’s freedom.

But Pulaski’s love of liberty transcended national boundaries, and when the American War of Independence began, he took the colonists’ struggle as his own. He came to the United States, put his battlefield experience at the service of the Continental Army, and commanded a cavalry unit. On this day in 1779, during the siege of Savannah, General Pulaski gave his life for the cause of American freedom.

Pulaski’s spirit and example have inspired Americans for more than two centuries. Across this country, you will End counties, towns, schools, parks and highways named after that patriot; in my own home state of Arkansas, Pulaski County is the seat of the capital, Little Rock.

But eager as we are to claim General Pulaski as our own, we are also proud to share him with Poland. What Pulaski fought for in the latter part of the 18th century, his compatriots have achieved at the end of the 20th: a free Poland, welcome and respected in the community of independent nations. And the courage General Pulaski displayed in battle is matched by that of his present-day countrymen, who have carried out Poland’s history-making revolution without bloodshed.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Monday, October 11, 1993, as General Pulaski Memorial Day, and I encourage the people of the Unit-107 STAT. 2745ed States to commemorate this occasion appropriately throughout the land.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6611 October 14, 1993 National Down Syndrome Awareness Month, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6611 of October 14, 1993
National Down Syndrome Awareness Month, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Down syndrome, the most common genetic birth defect associated with mental retardation, affects 4,000 babies a year from all ethnic and societal backgrounds. As little as twenty years ago, people with Down syndrome were stigmatized or, all too frequently, institutionalized. Now, happily, they are benefitting from important advances in research, education, and health care.

Over the past two decades, scientists have applied the technology of molecular genetics and other sciences to the study of Down syndrome. Researchers are looking for the genes, or combination of genes, on chromosome 21 that have a relationship to the development of intelligence and the physical disorders associated with Down syndrome. They are also looking for a possible relationship between Down syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease.

There is a wide variation in mental abilities, behavior, and physical development in individuals with Down syndrome. However, individuals with Down syndrome benefit from loving homes, early intervention, special education, mainstreaming, appropriate medical care, and positive public attitudes—all made possible through the efforts of researchers, service providers, physicians, teachers, and parent support groups. In addition, such government agencies as the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development and the National Institute on Aging, components of the National Institutes of Health; the Maternal and Child Health Bureau; and the President’s Committee on Mental Retardation have worked in concert with private organizations like the National Down Syndrome Congress and the National Down Syndrome Society to help those affected by this congenital disorder.

To help promote greater understanding of Down syndrome, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 92, has designated the month of October 1993 as “National Down Syndrome Awareness Month” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this month.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of October 1993 as National Down Syndrome Awareness Month. I invite all Americans to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities.

White Cane Safety Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

To thousands of visually impaired Americans the white cane means freedom—freedom to move safely and independently through their daily lives, participating fully in the activities of their homes, places of employment, and communities. White Cane Safety Day not only celebrates the accomplishments of the visually impaired, but also recognizes our Nation’s commitment to remove any physical or attitudinal barriers that Americans with disabilities may still face.

This commitment underscores our continuing efforts to implement fully the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, which prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities in such areas as employment, public accommodations, telecommunications, and transportation.

In tribute to the white cane and all that it symbolizes for our society, the Congress, by Joint Resolution approved in 1964, has designated October 15 of each year as “White Cane Safety Day.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 15, 1993, as White Cane Safety Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

World Food Day, 1993 and 1994 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Arising from poverty, homelessness, civil strife or famine, hunger burdens the lives of nearly 800 million people throughout the world. Women and children suffer the most. Studies suggest that in developing countries, some 36 percent of children under 6 years of age are moderately or severely undernourished.

107 STAT. 2747

On this World Food Day, let us commit ourselves to bringing change to the lives of those who suffer from hunger and to preserving the resources we will need in the years ahead.

Failure to protect our environment now and in the future will clearly affect the ability of countries to produce food and fiber for growing populations. The United Nations has indicated that the world may not be able to feed itself by sometime early in the next century if we continue to abuse productive soil. If world food production is to be maintained and enhanced, we must learn to safeguard the biological diversity that underpins our agricultural system. Today, the biological foundation is imperiled. Traditional crop varieties and animal breeds are becoming endangered. Many are already extinct. When we lose a traditional wheat or rice variety, we lose its unique characteristics and its potential pest and disease resistance, drought tolerance, or nutritional benefits. Nature’s diversity is a precious inheritance. We cannot live on this earth without it. Through sound agricultural practices and intelligent shepherding of our natural resources, we can nourish and protect our land, forests, rivers, and streams.

The almost constant threat of famine in Africa and the continuing food problems in Asia should remind us all of our global vulnerability, especially as the population continues to grow. Raising the global community’s awareness of the hunger that afflicts the young, the infirm, the poor, and the elderly—and considering the needs of others each day—can bring change and help ensure our food supply for the future.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 218, has designated October 16, 1993, and October 16, 1994, as “World Food Day” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of these days.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 16, 1993, and October 16, 1994, as World Food Day. I call on all Americans to observe these days with appropriate programs and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

National Forest Products Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Our National Forests are a priceless heritage, a gift that we hold in trust for future generations. As stewards of this inheritance, we have the obligation of preserving the capacity of these lands to sustain, not only themselves, but also the species that depend on them. Even as we strive to fulfill this obligation, the American people are asking fun-107 STAT. 2748damental questions about how our National Forests are managed and about how best to ensure a healthy and productive land.

Much has already been done to protect our forests. Of the 191 million acres of National Forest, 34 million have been set aside as part of the wilderness preservation system, a system that safeguards wilderness for future use and enjoyment. National Forests include more than 4,300 miles of designated segments of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Systems. These rivers are maintained in a free-flowing condition for the enjoyment of this and future generations.

Much more remains to be done, and we are only beginning to fathom, however incompletely, the complexities of the ecosystems of which our National Forests are composed. We know that over 250 threatened and endangered species of fish, animals, and plants inhabit National Forests and are dependent on them for survival. We also know that the key to protecting these and other species is to maintain healthy ecosystems through effective management of National Forests. In addition, we now understand that our forests are only one part of a global mosaic of forest ecosystems and that, if we are to be a world leader in environmental conservation, our stewardship must set standards for the world to emulate.

Our National Forests are also vital to our physical and spiritual well-being. National Forests are the single largest provider of outdoor recreation in the United States, providing 288 million visitor days at Forest Service campgrounds, picnic areas, and other recreation attractions in the past year. Products generated from National Forests support jobs for hundreds of thousands of workers, most located in rural America. People whose livelihoods are dependent on forest products industries must be considered as we reexamine the role of National Forests in promoting the welfare of all Americans.

Clearly, we are moving toward a new era in the stewardship of public lands. This new era is one in which we must blend environmental values with the needs of people in such a way that the National Forests represent diverse, healthy, productive, and sustainable ecosystems. Ecosystem management must be grounded on sound science and on compliance with existing law.

In recognition of the central role our forests play in enhancing the welfare of our Nation, the Congress, by Public Law 86–753 (36 U.S.C. 163), has designated the week beginning on the third Sunday in October of each year as “National Forest Products Week” and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 17, 1993, as National Forest Products Week and call upon all Americans to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

National Mammography Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Breast cancer is an insidious disease that takes the lives of far too many women. This year alone, 182,000 American women are expected to develop breast cancer, and 46,000 will die of this disease. The risk of death from breast cancer is significantly reduced when the cancer is found in the earlier, more treatable stages of development. If women follow early detection guidelines, we should see a 30-percent drop in the breast cancer death rate. We all must work to ensure that every woman is informed about the serious risk of breast cancer and about the importance of regular breast exams and screening mammography. Most important, these health care procedures must be within the reach of all women.

The high survival rates of women who are diagnosed as having early stage breast cancer have motivated health professionals and other concerned citizens to focus their educational efforts on the importance of early detection. Women can take an active role in the fight against breast cancer through clinical breast exams, breast self-examination, and mammography. In many cases, cancers can be seen on a mammogram up to 2 years before they could be detected by a woman or her physician. The key to that advantage, however, is access to such screening.

I am pleased that third-party reimbursement for mammography is increasing, allowing more women to benefit from this life-saving procedure. Through Medicare, the Department of Health and Human Services covers much of the cost of screening mammography for women 65 and older. Most states and the District of Columbia now have laws requiring private insurers to offer coverage for this procedure. I urge every State government, insurance company, medical facility, and business to develop policies that ensure all women access to appropriate and affordable mammography. Of course, women must take responsibility for availing themselves of screening when it is available.

Likewise, health care professionals must make sure that their patients receive regular breast cancer screening. Businesses must offer screening to their employees in the form of insurance coverage or services offered. Community organizations and individuals not only must spread the word about the importance of early detection, but also must motivate women to get regular screenings.

I am heartened that we have the technology to discover breast cancer in its earliest stages, the means to motivate women to get regular mammograms, and the capability to treat early breast cancer successfully in most cases. These resources can save the lives of countless women. For the sake of American women and their loved ones, we all must strive to see that every woman is educated about early breast cancer detection and that she has access to all needed health care.

In recognition of the crucial role of mammography in the battle against breast cancer, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 265, has designated October 19, 1993, as “National Mammography Day” and has 107 STAT. 2750authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 19, 1993, as “National Mammography Day.” I invite the Governors of the 50 States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Mayor of the District of Columbia, and the appropriate officials of all other jurisdictions under the American flag to issue similar proclamations. I also ask health care professionals, private industry, advocacy groups, community associations, insurance companies, and all other interested organizations and individuals to observe this day by publicly reaffirming our Nation’s continuing commitment to the control of breast cancer.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three. and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6616 October 20, 1993 National Biomedical Research Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6616 of October 20, 1993
National Biomedical Research Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The Congress has designated October 21, 1993, as “National Biomedical Research Day.” On this day, we celebrate the central role played by biomedical research in improving human health and longevity, and we acknowledge the promise this wide-ranging endeavor holds for securing the future physical and mental well-being of people around the world. Biomedical research not only yields the requisite information that scientists and physicians need to prevent and treat diseases but also reveals the fundamental nature of life in humans, other animals, and plants.

There is an intriguing quality to biomedical research: A discovery does not always predict its future uses. As a consequence, it is essential that the Nation continue to champion broad-based studies of both the normal and the disease processes. These studies will yield a fundamental understanding of biological systems and will provide us with the foundation of knowledge needed to ensure successful responses to current and future health problems.

An event that took place 40 years ago illustrates how vital such fundamental knowledge is. In 1953, Nobel laureates Drs. James D. Watson and Francis H.C. Crick described the structure of DNA, the genetic material of all living things. Today, as a direct outcome of their basic research, gene therapy has been devised for children with severe combined immune deficiency; accurate diagnostic tests are available for many life-threatening diseases and conditions; and the genetic mechanisms underlying disorders like cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease have been identified.

107 STAT. 2751

The discovery of the structure of DNA also set the stage for the development of recombinant DNA technology, out of which has blossomed the biotechnology industry. In just the past 10 years, some 1,300 biotechnology companies have been formed. Through biotechnology, chemists and biologists are able to design and produce novel medicines and vaccines for clinical use. Scientists have learned how to commandeer the cellular machinery of living organisms, so that these organisms produce needed proteins and other biological molecules. Researchers have also genetically “engineered” crop plants to make them hardier and resistant to pests. The success of the biotechnology industry has also enhanced the economic competitiveness of the United States in the world marketplace. There is no doubt that the future fruits of biotechnology, both medical and economic, will be even greater.

The continuing preeminence of the United States in biomedical research reflects the contributions of many groups of dedicated professionals at work in Federal agencies such as the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and in government-supported laboratories at universities, hospitals, and private research facilities. Teachers at all levels—from those who encourage our kindergartners to those who train biomedical specialists—are also helping to ensure the future success of biomedical research, an enterprise that cannot go forward without both strong practitioners and a supportive public.

Unraveling the mysteries of living organisms remains a daunting task. But, through biomedical research, the ceaseless whooping coughs of children have been silenced; smallpox no longer exacts a human toll anywhere on the Earth; and vaccines, treatments, and cures are at hand for many diseases. As the struggles continue against AIDS, cancer, heart and lung diseases, arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and a host of other afflictions, we look to the successes of the biomedical community for our inspiration.

We look to the future with our eyes open and with unflagging support for continued biomedical research that is broad enough and deep enough to establish a firm foundation of knowledge from which effective cures and therapies will emerge.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 21, 1993, as National Biomedical Research Day. I invite the Governors of the 50 States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the appropriate officials of all other jurisdictions under the American flag, to issue similar proclamations. I ask every beneficiary of biomedical research; that is, every citizen of this country, to acknowledge the true worth of biomedical research. I ask biomedical researchers, health care professionals, schools and universities, community organizations, and businesses to join in efforts to celebrate the successes of biomedical research and to promote this enterprise.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

National Consumers Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

More than ever, as a Nation and as individual consumers, we need to make every dollar count. Yet, despite the consumer-oriented quality of the U.S. marketplace and the concerted efforts of our law enforcement agencies, marketplace fraud drains at least $100 billion from the economy every year. The loss is not just in dollars, but in consumer confidence—the driving force behind a strong economy.

Fraud has the greatest impact on the most vulnerable consumers. No one, rich or poor, young or old, literate or illiterate, English-speaking or foreign-speaking, able-bodied or disabled, is exempt. What’s more, in this electronic global marketplace, fraud has become a “borderless crime” that affects consumers around the world.

Since 1982, the President has designated one week of the year to spotlight consumer education as a vital tool in helping consumers make smart shopping decisions. This year, during “National Consumers Week,” the focus is on fraud. Consumers can protect their resources and end the costly drain on the economy by knowing how to spot the signs of fraud and where to turn when they suspect fraud.

If you believe that you have been defrauded, the Better Business Bureau, representatives of Federal, State, and local governments, and even the media can help you. Exposing fraud not only helps you, but it can help prevent others from becoming victims in the future.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 24, 1993, as National Consumers Week. I urge business leaders, educators, professionals, public officials, consumer leaders, and members of the media to observe this week with appropriate activities that emphasize the important role smart consumers play in keeping our markets open, competitive, fair, and honest.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

United Nations Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

As the world continues to experience sweeping change after the end of the Cold War, it is increasingly important that we rededicate our-107 STAT. 2753selves to the uplifting principles of the United Nations Charter and to the hard work of bringing those principles closer to reality. Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali lists development, peace, and democracy as the overriding goals of the United Nations. On the 48th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, the United States must continue its work in cooperation with the United Nations to bring these principles closer to reality.

America alone is responsible for protecting its own vital interests. But many of the concerns we have about political, military, economic, and environmental challenges around the world are shared by other states. By working with the United Nations, and by doing all we can in association with like-minded governments to reform and energize it, we can advance our own interests and, at the same time, strengthen the ties that bind the international community.

The United Nations has often been on the front lines of efforts to deter, contain, and put an end to the rash of ethnic and subnational conflicts that have erupted in the post-Cold War era. Despite limitations on its capabilities and resources, the United Nations has the potential to be a resolute force for peace and democracy. In troubled areas around the globe, UN peacekeepers and observers are repatriating refugees; clearing land mines; monitoring elections; caring for victims of violence; helping protect human rights; arranging and monitoring ceasefires; and helping to construct democratic institutions where anarchy once prevailed.

Efforts of the United Nations have contributed greatly to the birth of a democratic Namibia, have helped bring an end to the civil war in El Salvador, and have created the conditions under which the Cambodian people could form a government legitimized by free elections and a new constitution. In Somalia, the United States and the UN have worked together to save hundreds of thousands of lives threatened by anarchy-induced famine. In Bosnia, the UN’s humanitarian relief effort has been sustained under dangerous and frustrating conditions. In many nations, particularly in Africa, UN operations are working to facilitate the transition from civil conflicts to peaceful development.

The cause of peace is linked to the need for inclusive and lasting economic growth that gives more and more people a stake in stability and a voice in decisions that affect their lives. America’s interest in enlarging the world’s community of market democracies is echoed in the Preamble of the UN Charter, which calls for “social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.”

The United States applauds the work of a variety of UN programs and agencies that promote development and counter the hardships of poverty, homelessness, and disease. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, whose workload has regrettably increased in recent years; the World Health Organization, whose responsibility it is to halt the deadly spread of AIDS; and the UN Development Program, which is being reinvigorated under new leadership, all deserve special recognition for their momentous achievements in the face of enormous obstacles.

Despite the efforts of the many dedicated public servants at the United Nations, there remains an urgent need to improve the management of the UN system in order to make it more efficient, effective, and accountable. The United States is working actively with UN officials and with other governments on a number of management-related initia-107 STAT. 2754tives. The Secretary General is to be commended for recently establishing an office and appointing an Assistant Secretary General for Inspections and Investigations. This is a useful first step, but more must be done to translate such steps into tangible results.

It has been said that “all work that is worth anything is done in faith.” The United Nations was built on the profound faith that people from different backgrounds, creeds, races, and religions can live together peaceably and can pursue shared goals. That faith is the antithesis of the hatred we see in some parts of the world today and is the foundation upon which a future of trust and goodwill among all nations and peoples can be built. The United States has a bipartisan tradition, established long before the creation of the United Nations, of support for an international organization dedicated to social progress and the preservation of world peace. As President, I intend to carry on that tradition.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Sunday, October 24, 1993, as “United Nations Day,” and urge all Americans to acquaint themselves with the activities and accomplishments of the United Nations.

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

National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, 1993 and 1994 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Home should be a place of warmth, unconditional love, tranquility, and security. And for most of us, home and family can, indeed, be counted among our greatest blessings. Tragically, for many Americans, these are blessings that are tarnished by violence and fear.

Domestic violence is more than the occasional family dispute. According to the Department of Health and Human Services, it is the single largest cause of injury to American women, affecting six million of all racial, cultural, and economic backgrounds.

In our country, a woman is battered every 15 seconds, and 40 percent of female homicide victims in 1991 were killed by their husbands or boyfriends. Yet unbelievably, more than half of women in need of shelter may be tinned away due to a lack of space.

Women are not the only targets. Young children and the elderly are also counted among the victims, and sadly, emotional scars are often permanent.

107 STAT. 2755

A coalition of organizations has emerged to directly confront this crisis. Law enforcement officials, those involved with shelters and hotline services, health care providers, the clergy, and other concerned citizens are helping in the effort to end domestic violence. We must recognize the compassion and dedication of these volunteers and professionals, applaud their efforts, and increase public understanding of this important problem.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim October 1993 and October 1994 as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. I urge all Americans to observe these months by becoming more aware of the tragedy of domestic violence, supporting those who are working toward its end, and participating in other appropriate efforts.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6620 November 3, 1993 National Health Information Management Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6620 of November 3, 1993
National Health Information Management Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Over the course of the next months, the people of the United States and their elected Members of Congress will have the opportunity to participate in one of the most important processes of our times: the implementation of health care reform. As the proposals have been developed, the authors have relied on extensive information that has been collected regarding the well-being of the people of our Nation and the efficiency of our health care delivery system. Those working on plans for health care reform were extremely fortunate that they could draw upon the vast fund of knowledge contained in some of the most comprehensive health management systems in the world.

Our Nation’s status as a world leader in this field is largely due to the role of professional health information managers as they continually investigate and apply new technologies to advance their administrative expertise.

America’s 35,000 health information management leaders have a tradition of commitment to excellence and competence, which have become increasingly important components of the health care delivery system of our country.

At the heart of the profession’s information management responsibilities are medical history records, both computer-based and paper-generated. On a daily basis, health information managers must take into consideration patients’ privacy rights and, at the same time, protect the integrity, accuracy, consistency, reliability, and validity of health infor-107 STAT. 2756mation. The professional health information manager orchestrates the collection of many kinds of documentation from a variety of sources, monitors the integrity of the information, and ensures appropriate access to medical records. This professional also collects health care data by abstracting and encoding information, by using computer programs to interpret data, and by putting in place quality control procedures to guarantee the validity of the information.

Throughout the ongoing health care reform discussions, there has been a strong consensus about the need to lessen the bureaucracy of our Nation’s current health care delivery system and to streamline and simplify administrative operations. During this very important time in our Nation’s history, health information management professionals are key players in our efforts to reshape the existing system. These dedicated experts are working hard to computerize patient record systems in order to reduce health care costs by decreasing the logjam of unnecessary paperwork confronting hospitals and other health facilities.

We want to recognize the devotion of those who are working to decrease the cost and improve the quality of our health care system. Their past efforts have contributed immeasurably to the health care delivery system and to the medical research community. As health care reform is implemented, the challenges will be quite substantial, but so will the opportunities for demonstrating the creativity and commitment to quality that characterize these important professionals. I urge all Americans to join me in saluting this determined group of men and women, who work as professional health information managers.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 205, has designated the week of October 31 through November 6, 1993, as “National Health Information Management Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of October 31 through November 6, 1993, as National Health Information Management Week. I call upon all Americans to observe this week by demonstrating their respect and gratitude for all those professionals who have dedicated their careers to consistently improving our systems of health information management.

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

6621 November 5, 1993 Veterans Day, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6621 of November 5, 1993
Veterans Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Veterans Day is a time for Americans to thank our Nation’s military veterans for the sacrifices they have made to defend and preserve the 107 STAT. 2757blessings of liberty. During times of war and times of peace, these men and women have ensured that future generations would enjoy the life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness promised by our Nation’s Founders. We have much to learn from all who have served.

In the major wars and numerous smaller conflicts fought by our Nation’s Armed Forces, our men and women in uniform have shaped our Nation through their great sacrifices to safeguard our freedom. Through the War of Independence and the many wrenching conflicts of the 19th century, Americans preserved our Nation with their bravery and their commitment to duty and country. In the conflicts of our century, men and women in the Armed Forces have successfully defended our security, freedom, and ideals, helping to build America into a greater Nation.

On this day, we should pay special tribute to the more than 27 million living American veterans. Seventy-five years ago on November 11, the Armistice was signed, ending World War I, “the war to end all wars.” More than 32,000 soldiers of the nearly 5 million who fought in World War I are still living, serving as a reminder of the struggles through which they secured our safety. Many more veterans from World War II and the Korean Conflict still serve their country as career soldiers and civilians, tempered with the experience of war. Vietnam veterans continue to help our Nation adjust to a new international security environment often characterized by regional conflicts similar to the war in which they fought.

Living veterans, having once served our country in uniform, now fill such key roles as teachers, police officers, business owners, doctors, lawyers, government officials, and volunteers, sustaining our society secured by their service.

In a greater sense, this day cannot fully honor America’s veterans who have risked and sacrificed their lives. But we can resolve to continue the struggle for freedom that they made their duty and to dedicate our lives to ensuring that their valiant efforts shall never have been in vain.

In order that we may pay due tribute to those who have served in our Armed Forces, the Congress has provided (5 U.S.C. 6103(a)) that November 11 of each year shall be set aside as a legal public holiday to honor America’s veterans.

NOW, THEREFORE. I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 11, 1993, as “Veterans Day.” I urge all Americans to honor the resolution and commitment of our veterans through appropriate public ceremonies and private prayers. I also call upon Federal, State, and local government officials to display the flag of the United States and to encourage and participate in patriotic activities in their communities. I invite civic and fraternal organizations, churches, schools, businesses, unions, and the media to support this national observance with suitable commemorative expressions and programs.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

National Women Veterans Recognition Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

American women have served with distinction and courage in every overseas combat theater of conflict since World War I. Some have been wounded in the line of duty, and others have given their lives for our country, but all have contributed tremendously to the success of America’s Armed Forces. Bringing their talent, skill, and vision to a variety of occupations within each of the service branches, women have made an everlasting mark on the military history of the United States.

The loyalty and the sacrifices of the women who have served our country merit the respect and admiration of all of us. It is fitting then that we set aside a special time to honor these veterans, to salute them for their tireless devotion to duty while in uniform and for their patriotism and commitment to democratic ideals in civilian life.

The Vietnam Women’s Memorial is a monument dedicated to the many women who volunteered to serve in the Armed Forces during the Vietnam era. Appropriately, it recognizes the living as well as those who died. It is part of the important ongoing process of healing, both for veterans and for our country as a whole. It is a remembrance of the brave and compassionate service that is so worthy of our esteem.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of November 7, 1993, as National Women Veterans Recognition Week, and I encourage all Americans to join in acknowledging the contributions and sacrifices of these veterans.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6623 November 14, 1993 Geography Awareness Week, 1993 and 1994 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6623 of November 14, 1993
Geography Awareness Week, 1993 and 1994 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

From ancient times, when prehistoric peoples used colored clay and charred sticks to draw primitive maps on cave walls, our ancestors have sought to identify their relationship to their surroundings.

Geography, from the Greek “geographia”—earth description—is the field of knowledge that examines those connections that link the earth and its inhabitants.

107 STAT. 2759

After a recent decline in the emphasis placed on the study of geography, it is once again receiving the attention it deserves as a necessary element in the education of our citizens. The world has become smaller—politically, economically, and socially—and geographic literacy, knowledge, and understanding of other cultures have increasingly become more and more essential.

America must keep pace with the rest of the world. Our Nation’s ability to interact in a global environment depends greatly upon our capacity to comprehend and operate within an interconnected sphere. Young Americans must possess the tools necessary to succeed in this endeavor. They must exhibit a basic understanding of the relationships between countries, between peoples, and among themselves. Without this knowledge, our future leaders will run the risk of taking a narrow and uninformed view of the world as they pursue international initiatives.

My Administration’s education reform legislation, Goals 2000: Educate America Act, proposes to specifically include geography in the National Education Goals, and we support the development of voluntary national curricular standards to include geography.

We are making progress. By committing ourselves to this goal, we expect results—and we have already begun to see them. Many schools around the country are engaged in wonderful activities to improve their students’ understanding of our mutually shared planet. We must build on these burgeoning efforts for the future of this Nation and for the future of the world.

To recognize the special value of geography to the well-being of our country and all its citizens, the Congress by Senate Joint Resolution 131 has designated the weeks beginning November 14, 1993, and November 13, 1994, as Geography Awareness Week and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of these weeks.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the weeks of November 14, 1993, and November 13, 1994, as “Geography Awareness Week.” I call upon the people of the United States, governmental officials, educators, volunteers, and students of all ages to observe these weeks with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

6624 November 16, 1993 National Farm-City Week, 1993 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 107 STAT. 2760 Proclamation 6624 of November 16, 1993
National Farm-City Week, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The efficiency with which a nation produces and distributes its agricultural products largely determines the vitality, health, well-being, and economic strength of that nation. One of our Nation’s great strengths is the tremendous productivity of its agricultural sector. The food and fiber that grow on our country’s farms feed us, sustain us, and allow our Nation to thrive.

More than 20 million Americans—from farms to cities—are engaged in producing, processing, and marketing our agricultural supplies. They are a highly efficient team made up of farm families, people in rural communities, agribusiness industries, scientists, and retail distributors. This farm-city team is the most productive and effective in the world, demonstrating the strength and interdependence of our farms, rural areas, and cities in our economic system.

This remarkable farm-city system provides our people with produce for the smallest portion of consumers’ average disposable income of any Nation. As consumers, we can use the remaining, much larger portion of our incomes for other goods, services, education, recreation, and comforts. This adds greatly to our choices in life and to our well-being, making us a more diversified, well-served people.

In addition, this farm-city team produces enough food in surplus of our own needs to enable the United States to be the breadbasket of the world, exporting more agricultural products than any other country. Each $1 billion of farm exports provides an additional $1.4 billion of off-farm economic activity and provides jobs for about 22,000 people on farms and in small towns and cities. Our highly competitive agricultural exports also provide the largest positive balance of trade of any U.S. industry. This, too, adds to our opportunities, our well-being, and the vitality of our economy.

Our agricultural team’s unmatched productivity also makes it possible for the United States to carry out its international role as a world leader. As a strong, concerned Nation, with abundant agricultural reserves, the United States is the world’s No. 1 donor of food aid in response to the needs of distressed people in other nations.

We all are indebted to the performance of the United States agricultural team. Each year since 1956, the Nation has set aside the week ending on Thanksgiving Day as “National Farm-City Week” to pay tribute to the people who put food on our tables and to give prayerful thanks for our individual blessings and the blessings of the United States of America.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of November 19–25, 1993, as National Farm-City Week. I encourage all Americans, in rural and urban communities alike, to join in recognizing the accomplishments of our farmers and all those hardworking in-107 STAT. 2761dividuals who cooperate in producing the abundance of agricultural goods that strengthen and enrich the United States.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

Thanksgiving Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

From the beginnings of our Nation, we have sought to recognize the providence and mercy of God with words and acts of gratitude, indeed with effort and energy toward helping others wherever need occurred. In the colorful days and weeks when the autumn of the year brings ripe and fruitful harvest across our land, Americans give thanks for many blessings. It is a time of bounty and generosity, a time to come together in peace.

This is the true spirit of Thanksgiving: acknowledging God’s graciousness, and in response, reaching out in service to others. This spirit was apparent in Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1621, when Pilgrim immigrants sat down with Native Americans and celebrated their common harvest.

This same spirit of Thanksgiving inspires our great Nation and our people to act with justice and concern toward all the peoples of the world and toward one another here at home. We are grateful for the dramatic progress made towards a comprehensive peace in the Middle East and for the Agreement signed in our United States; we are thankful for the relief efforts that our Nation and others have undertaken where natural disasters have struck unmercifully.

Still, in this final decade of the twentieth century, we face great challenges. The troubled areas of our world continue to challenge our ability to find peaceful and equitable solutions. On this Thanksgiving Day, the hospitality and harmony of loved ones, friends, and neighbors, remind each of us that we belong to the larger family of mankind.

As we gather together during this sacred and cherished time, let us pledge to build a new America where everyone will have a place at the table, and no one will be left out. In this way we will truly maintain the spirit of Thanksgiving that has enriched our country since its beginnings. While recognizing the importance of individual responsibility, we will continue to place the strength and benevolence of this great Nation at the service of all its people, indeed of all the peoples of the earth. Then, in these richer years, we will reap a true and fruitful harvest.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Thursday, 107 STAT. 2762November 25, 1993, as a National Day of Thanksgiving. I encourage the citizens of this great Nation to gather in their homes, places of worship, or wherever they may choose to express heartfelt thanks for the abundance bestowed on us throughout our history.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

National Children’s Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

America’s children are at once our most precious national resource and our most weighty responsibility. They represent our future hopes and aspirations. By empowering and supporting America’s families today, we can make a more secure world for all Americans tomorrow.

Millions of America’s children grow up in stable and loving families. At the same time, an alarmingly high number of our youth do not have the benefit of such security; many grow up hungry, neglected, or abused. Far too many reach adolescence having experienced painful episodes of physical, mental, or emotional mistreatment that have long-lasting effects. For them, the future can be clouded with doubt or despair.

We all must take it upon ourselves to address these problems and to guarantee that children of all families will be given new hope for a better life. We must get back to “being our neighbor’s keeper” when it comes to raising children. The plight of our neighborhoods and communities must be rectified and replaced with a positive environment in which to grow and live in safety. Today’s children are frightened and worried. We must close the opportunity gap and the responsibility gap because all of the children of America deserve an equal chance.

Parents must make an all-out effort to provide an accepting, caring, and loving atmosphere for their children. Grandparents also have an important role to play, as do other members of the extended family.

This is an issue that all Americans can and should support and promote. By becoming directly involved and assuming personal responsibility, we can strengthen our schools, churches, and communities in ways that will reinforce and enhance the importance of values that the family structure can provide. This is all the more critical as the world becomes an increasingly complex and interrelated place. We must interact in the future with any number of new and emerging nations. In order to do this successfully, we will need the talent, dedication, and best efforts of all of our youth.

107 STAT. 2763

Today’s children will also be tomorrow’s parents. To preserve the American Dream, the fiber of our Nation must be strengthened. By instilling a common purpose and assuring ourselves that children are receiving the best and most comprehensive care possible, we can face the awesome challenges that lie ahead. We can start at the family level to bring our country together, solve problems, and make progress.

So I ask all Americans to reaffirm this Nation’s commitment to its children. I appeal specifically to parents to spend quality time each day with their children, to listen to their concerns and dreams, and to guide them well as they make the transition into adolescence and adulthood. We have a right and an obligation to make sure our children can rise as far and as high as their talents and determination will let them.

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 139, has designated the third Sunday in November as “National Children’s Day” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 21, 1993, as National Children’s Day. On this day and every day, I urge all Americans to express their love, advocacy, and appreciation for their children and all children of the world. I invite Federal officials, State and local governments, and particularly the American family, to join together in observing this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities to honor our Nation’s children.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.

National Military Families Recognition Day, 1993 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Military families are diverse, strong, resourceful, and patriotic. The men and women who serve our country understand that their families provide essential support and make enormous sacrifices every day. We, as a Nation, must also recognize the unselfish contributions of our military families wherever they may be around the world.

As we go about the routine business of our lives, it is easy to forget the daily hardships, inconveniences, separations, and disruptions that our service men and women and their families endure to protect America. These dedicated individuals will affirm that it is their families who invariably sustain them and warm their hearts. In every city and State and in many countries worldwide, service men and women proudly note that the highlight of their day is that special smile, telephone call, or letter they receive. The military family is the motiva-107 STAT. 2764tional force that continually elevates the spirit of the service member when life’s joys and sorrows need to be shared.

The Department of Defense has long recognized that the family unit is an important factor in the overall readiness and well-being of the members of the Armed Forces. Indeed, military families make extraordinary contributions to the entire Nation through their efforts to support and encourage their loved ones.

The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 115, has designated November 22, 1993, as “National Military Families Recognition Day” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 22, 1993, as National Military Families Recognition Day. I call upon all Americans to join in honoring military families throughout the world. Finally, I ask Federal, State, and local officials and private organizations to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

National Family Week, 1993 and 1994 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Families are our Nation’s lifeblood and strength. No matter its size or composition, it is the source of our ideals and the birthplace of our memories. Connected families in vital communities are essential to this country’s future.

The common bonds of family love, sharing, and mutual support have for generations shaped the character of our society. Anchored by strong insights, deeply felt convictions, moral principles, and concern for societal improvement and well-being, families have used their devotion, creative ideals, and energies to define themselves, their communities, and the Nation.

The willing acceptance of family obligations and the unselfish shouldering of responsibilities are core components of caring families. Families encourage and foster teamwork, as well as individuality, personal sacrifice, personal attainment, and a wide range of joys and life experiences.

America has maintained its unique position in the history of nations because we have not forgotten the teachings of our forebears. We have thrived because we, their children, have remained committed to advancing the causes of liberty and justice. Even in times of national cri-107 STAT. 2765sis, we have recalled the importance of our national family tree, always returning to the promise of its protective shade.

As families across the country gather in thanksgiving, it is particularly appropriate that we pause as a Nation to acknowledge the blessings of love and loyalty that families bring to their members and through them, to the community of America. Like our democracy, all of our families must strive to be nurturing and steady. All of our children, grandparents, mothers and fathers must know that no matter the challenges we face, we can be secure in the love and support of a family. This lesson is among our founders’ most precious gifts. Fulfilling their ideal is each generation’s most profound responsibility.

The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 79, has designated the week of November 21, 1993, and the week of November 20, 1994, as “National Family Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of these weeks.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of November 21, 1993, and the week of November 20, 1994, as National Family Week. I invite the States, communities, and people of the United States to observe these weeks with appropriate ceremonies and programs in appreciation of our Nation’s families.

National Adoption Week, 1993 and 1994 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Our Nation’s families are the guardians and first teachers of our most valuable resource and our primary responsibility—our children. Unfortunately, too many children do not have the opportunity to live and flourish in a family of their own. They have been orphaned, abandoned, neglected, or abused. They have been denied the protection and nurturing that a loving family environment can best provide. Now is the time to break the grip of the great crisis of the spirit that has far too long held our Nation. Now we can begin to bring about a change. There is much for each of us to contribute.

During National Adoption Week, it is vitally important for all of us to recognize the joys adoption can bring to the lives of children who are in need. For children who have been deprived of belonging to a secure, loving, and permanent home, an adoptive family can provide the most important ingredient in a child’s life—love.

This Thanksgiving week, families across America will gather to give thanks to God for the blessings we all enjoy as individuals and as a Nation. Children who have no permanent families, who are waiting to 107 STAT. 2766be adopted, may not have as much to be thankful for this year. At this happy time of family celebration, we must not forget the children for whom the affection of a family remains only a dream.

These children have so much to offer. They deserve our best efforts to remove the public and private barriers to their adoption into permanent, loving families. We must reach out to the many Americans who long for children to love, and we must find homes for the thousands of children who are waiting for adoptive parents to take them into their lives and into their hearts. And we must also acknowledge the unselfish sacrifice made by many birth parents to ensure a better life for their child.

Every effort should be made to inform the public and prospective parents that there are many thousands of children available for adoption. We must involve the media, private and public agencies, adoptive parents, advocacy groups, civic and church groups, and businesses. We must ask them to provide publicity and information to heighten community awareness of the crucial needs of these children and of all those who work tirelessly to place them in loving families.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of November 21, 1993, and the week of November 20, 1994, as National Adoption Week. I call upon all Americans to observe these weeks with appropriate programs, activities, and ceremonies.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighteenth.
