    A Proclamation

    As a mark of respect for the memory and longstanding public service of
    Representative Elijah E. Cummings, of Maryland, I hereby order, by the
    authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United
    States of America, that the flag of the United States shall be flown at
    half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds,
    at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of
    the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the
    United States and its Territories and possessions through October 18,
    2019. 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 seventeenth day of
    October, in the year of our Lord two thousand nineteen, and of the
    Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-
    fourth.
