    As a mark of respect for Secretary Ronald H. Brown and all those 
killed in the April 3, 1996, crash of the U.S. Air Force aircraft in

States Code, 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 Wednesday, April 10, 
1996. 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 fourth day of
