A Proclamation

As a mark of respect for the memory of Arlen Specter, I hereby order, by
the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United

United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon
all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval
stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the
District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its
Territories and possessions until sunset on such day. I also direct that
the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same period at all United
States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities
abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and
stations.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of
