(17) Undistributed Offsetting Eeceipts (950): (A) New budget authority, -$16,300,000,000; (B) Outlays, -$16,300,000,000. SEC. 3. In the Third Budget Resolution for fiscal year 1977, the Congress provided for revenue and spending proposals designed to stimulate the Nation's economy in order to reduce unemployment. These proposals, together with recent indications of more vigorous economic growth in the private sector, provide evidence that the Nation's economy may be returning to the levels needed to provide jobs to millions of our unemployed. The Congress recognizes, however, that unusual uncertainties surround the current economic outlook for 1977 and 1978—primarily, the economic impact of the stimulus proposals and the likelihood of continued economic growth in the private sector—and that additional time and information are needed to make final determinations with respect to fiscal policy for fiscal year 1978; and declares that, if economic recovery does not proceed satisfactorily during the months inunediately following adoption of the First Budget Resolution for Fiscal Year 1978, it will be necessary to provide additional stimulus to the economy in appropriate amounts to be determined in the Second Budget Resolution for Fiscal Year 1978. On the other hand, if the recovery continues to shows signs of long-tenn renewed growth, it may be desirable to reduce some of the economic stimulus provided for fiscal year 1978 in order to make more rapid progress toward a balanced budget. SEC. 4. (a) Pursuant to section 304 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the appropriate aggregate amounts for the fiscal year 1977 set forth in the first section of S. Con. Res. 10 are revised as follows: (1) the recommended level of Federal revenues is $356,600,000,000, and the amount by which the aggregate level of Federal revenues should be decreased is $2,600,000,000; (2) the appropriate level of total new budget authority is $470,200,000,000; (3) the appropriate level of total budget outlays is $409,200,000,000; (4) the amount of the deficit in the budget which is appropriate in light of economic conditions and all other relevant factors is $52,600,000,000; and (5) the appropriate level of the public debt is $701,300,000,000, and the amount by which the statutory limit on such debt should accordingly be increased is $1,300,000,000. (b) Pursuant to section 304 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, the allocations for the fiscal year 1977 made in section 2 of S. Con. Res. 10 are revised so that the appropriate levels of new budget authority and the estimated budget outlays for the various fimctional categories are as follows: (1) National Defense (050): (A) New budget authority, $108,800,000,000; (B) Outlays, $98,900,000,000. (2) International Affairs (150): (A) New budget authority, $7,900,000,000; (B) Outlays, $6,500,000,000.

94 So little heretical was his version regarded that in 1540, before it was printed, Francis I made a present of it to Charles V. Florimond de Rémond says:—

"Each of the princes and courtiers adopted one or other of the psalms for himself. King Henry chose as his own Psalm XLII., Ainsi qu'on oyt le cerf bruire, which he sang when hunting. Mme. de Valentinois (Diana of Poitiers), his mistress, took as hers Ps. cxxx., Du fond de ma pensée, which she sang when galloping. The Queen had selected v.; Ne veuillez pas, O Sire, set to a buffoon melody. The King of Navarre, Antoine de Bourbon, chose ., Revenge moy, prens la querelle, which he sang to a branle (a dance tune) of Poitou; and so with the rest."

But little by little these metrical psalms assumed an aggressive tone; passed among the people, and these took them to heart more seriously than did the courtiers.

Bordier, in his Chansonnier huguenot, says:—

"It was soon seen with what energy the Huguenots assimilated this poetry, which responded so well to their burning faith. They knew the psalter by heart. It became one of the tokens by which they recognized one another at long distances, before coming in sight, when certain familiar melodies were borne to their ears. From the windows of the Louvre Henry II more than once saw a crowd flushed with enthusiasm fill the Pré aux Clercs, promenading in the evening with gravity, trolling out these psalms."

The Queen of Navarre was certainly a strange mixture; she wrote treatises of piety, composed a Mirror of the Sinful Soul, wrote songs, and in her old age was the authoress of that book of indecent tales, the Heptameron, which is still read, whereas the Mirror of the Sinful Soul is forgotten.

She took as her device the marigold turning to the sun,

Modification of Proclamation No. 4463 Regarding Tariffs on Certain Sugars, Sirups and Molasses

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation By Proclamation No. 4463 of September 21, 1976, the President modified Proclamation No. 4334 of November 16, 1974, by establishing new rates of duty applicable to certain sugars, sirups, and molasses described in item numbers 155.20 and 155.30 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States, hereinafter referred to as the "TSUS" (19 U.S.C. 1202). Proclamation No. 4463 is effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 21, 1976. Taking into account the factors cited in Proclamation No. 4463, and in order to alleviate hardships which may result from increasing the rate of duty with respect to certain goods that were exported prior to the effective date of that Proclamation, I find it appropriate to amend Proclamation No. 4463 to permit articles that were e.xported to the United States before the effective date of that Proclamation and that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption within a reasonable time following exportation, to continue to be dutiable at the rates provided in Proclamation No. 4334 of November 16, 1974. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and statutes of the United States of America, including Section 201(a)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1821(a)(2)), and in conformity with Headnote 2, Subpart A of Part 10 of Schedule 1 of the TSUS, do hereby proclaim that paragraph C of Proclamation No. 4463 of September 21, 1976, is hereby amended to read as follows: "C. The Provisions of this Proclamation shall become effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on and after September 21, 1976, and shall remain in effect until the President otherwise proclaims or until otherwise superseded by law. However, the provisions of this Proclamation shall not be effective with respect to articles exported to the United States before 12:01 A.M. (U.S. Eastern Daylight Savings Time), September 21, 1976, provided that such articles are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or before November 8, 1976."

Drug Abuse Prevention Week, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Drug abuse remains one of the most persistent and serious problems in the United States today. It affects every segment of our society and every region of our country. We have learned that there is no one answer to the drug problem. Drug abuse prevention requires a balanced approach by law enforcement agencies, research and treatment by all levels of government and full support in the private sector. We have made great progress in combating drug abuse. With the help of States, local governments and community groups, the Federal government has developed programs to control the drug supply through law enforcement and to reduce the demand for drugs through treatment, research and prevention. The United States has also initiated extensive negotiations with other countries in an attempt to develop international cooperation to control the flow of illicit drug traffic. To be truly effective, however, drug abuse prevention must begin at the community level, by the creation of positive environments which reduce the conditions leading to drug abuse. Communities across the country have recognized this need and have initiated programs involving adults and young people working together to improve their communities and to provide services for their people. The keystone for these programs is the creative involvement of youth and the cooperation of adults. The important goal is drug abuse prevention. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate and proclaim the week beginning October 17, 1976, as Drug Abuse Prevention Week. I call upon officials at every level of government, upon educators, law enforcement officers, medical professionals and communicators, upon the business community, civic groups and the clergy of every denomination, and upon all who bear the trust of community leadership to rededicate themselves to the prevention of drug abuse in America. I ask for the creative thinking and planning of all our citizens either in establishing drug abuse programs in communities where none now exist or in reaffirming their support of currently active programs. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and first. GERALD R. FORD

American Education Week, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation One of our Nation's greatest gifts to its children is the right to free public education through the high school years. No country on earth offers at public expense so extended an education to so many young people without regard to their social or economic background and regardless of their race, creed, color and sex. The quality of our education system is still improving steadily. As just one indication of this, the National Assessment of Educational Progress shows that children in the elementary grades are reading significantly better than they did five years ago. Federal aid programs are helping disadvantaged, bilingual, and handicapped children gain equal access to education's mainstream, thus offering all students the benefits of education's progress, Beyond high school, our many fine colleges, universities, and occupational schools give young people the opportunity to prepare for virtually any career and to fulfill almost any desire for self-enrichment. Federal grants and loans, along with State and private aid, ease the financial burden of education after high school to an extent never before enjoyed by our Nation's youth. People of all ages are taking advantage of their many higher education options. A decade ago the average American had a high school education. Today the average American has some postsecondary experience. We may be justifiably proud of our achievements in education while still recognizing that our schools and colleges face problems. Some school districts and colleges are experiencing financial difficulties. Some are plagued by vandalism and violence that disrupt the learning environment and cost taxpayers more than a halfbillion dollars a year. Some are re-evaluating their mission in response to the demand for greater emphasis on basic learning skills and career training. Our education system is resilient and responds positively to challenge. I am confident that it will continue to be responsive to the needs and aspirations of all Americans. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning November 14, 1976, as American Education Week. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and first. GERALD R. FORD

National Farm-City Week, 1976

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation As we near the end of our Bicentennial year, we have good cause to once again give thanks for the unique productivity of our farms and cities. While we are a nation of individuals—farmers and ranchers, and townspeople—we all work closely together to operate our economic and governmental systems. Our independence as a country for two centuries has been successful because our citizens have been successful working together. This is nowhere more apparent than in the continuing development of our agricultural and urban areas. Our farmers and ranchers are the greatest producers of food in the world. They do this through the help of the goods and services produced by those who have moved from farms to the cities. It is clear that this continuing interdependence between farm and city should be more fully understood by all citizens, for it is through this partnership that the country' may achieve new abundance and prosperity in the future. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the period November 19 through November 25, 1976, as National Farm-City Week. I request that interested individuals in all pursuits join with agricultural organizations, business and labor groups, youth and community groups, schools, and others to focus attention upon the interrelationships which exist between individuals and their labors in our economic system. I urge the Department of Agriculture, educational institutions and all organizations and governmental agencies and officials to mark the significance of National Farm-City Week with special study, public rrieetings, exhibits and other appropriate activity in the public interest. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and first.

PROCLAMATION 4474—OCT. 25, 1976

1 It is in our families that we learn, develop and practice those attitudes and concepts of right and wrong, of fairness, of charity, and love of country. Neither schools nor the institutions of government can ever replace the American family in the development of responsible and caring individuals. Since we believe that every child has the right to grow up in a secure, loving family and that this experience lays the foundation for a happy, productive adulthood, we commend the growing numbers of Americans who are building families through adoption. By this means, thousands of children of all ages, backgrounds and with various special needs have been able to reap the benefits of permanent family membership. It is within that family circle that each child learns the most important of life's lessons: from parents, love and respect; from grandparents and other elder relatives, wisdom and tolerance. These family experiences nurture our sense of community with others. In deprivation and abundance, in turmoil and tranquility, Americans have reached out for their destiny from the constant sanctuary of family life. In recognition of this fundamental role of the family in the development and continued vitality of our Nation, the Congress has requested that the week of Thanksgiving in 1976 be designated as National Family Week (Public Law 94-270, 90 Stat. 372). NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning on November 21, 1976, as National Family Week. I invite the Governors of the several States and the chief officials of local governments to observe National Family Week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I urge all Americans to observe this week by sharing with their families and friends an expression of the bonds between them and a common acknowledgement that through the extended relationships of the family, we will improve the quality of our lives and increase our Nation's store of peace, progress, happiness, and individual liberty. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and.of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and first.

91 STAT. 1707

The early settlers of this land possessed an unconquerable spirit and a reliance on Divine Providence that remains a part of the American character. That reliance, coupled with a belief in our selves and a love of individual freedom, has brought this Nation through two centuries of progress and kept us strong. As we cross the threshold into our third century as a sovereign and independent Nation, it is especially appropriate that we reaffirm our trust in Him and express our gratitude for the unity, freedom and renewed sense of national pride we enjoy today. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, in accord with Section 6103 of Title 5 of the United States Code, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 25, 1976, as a day of national thanksgiving. I call upon all Americans to join on that day with their friends and families in homes and places of worship throughout the land to offer thanks for the blessings we enjoy. Let each of us resolve this Thanksgiving Day to make the coming year one in which our every deed will reflect our constant gratitude to God. Let us set a standard of honor, justice, and charity against which all the years of our third century may be measured. Let us make this Thanksgiving a truly special one. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and first.

Wright Brothers Day, 1976

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

•'-

On December 17, 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, two brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, revolutionized transportation when they made the first successful flight in a heavier-than-air, powered aircraft. On that memorable day, 73 years ago, those two Americans laid the foundation for modern aviation. The phenomenal advances in aviation and space technology since that first successful adventure are now portrayed in the new National Air and Space Museum in our Nation's Capital. It is particularly fitting to recognize, in this year of our Nation's Bicentennial, the determination and ingenuity displayed by the Wright brothers during the years of experimentation in developing their airplane. These traits are symbolic of the American spirit and of the American commitment to make this a better world. To commemorate the historic achievements of the Wright brothers, the Congress, by a joint resolution of December 17, 1963 (77 Stat. 402, 36 U.S.C. 169), designated the seventeenth day of December of each year as Wright Brothers Day and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Emergency Medical Services Week, 1976

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Each week more than a thousand Americans die as a result of accidents, heart attacks and other medical emergencies because emergency assistance is not available.

23 USC 401 note.

For many years, physicians and health professionals have urged improved national services and facilities for emergency medical care. Since 1968, pursuant to the publication of Standard 11, "Emergency Medical Services" in accordance with the Highway Safety Act of 1966, the Department of Transportation has been engaged with improving emergency care at the onset of the emergency and in transit to more definitive care. This year, a bill extending the "Emergency Medical Services Systems Act of 1973" was passed by Congress and signed into law on October 21. The Act provides for a continued national commitment to the improvement of total emergency care for the sick and injured. As a result, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and the Department of Transportation, together with several other Federal agencies, will continue to work closely with States and communities to improve medical emergency services. Although many cities enjoy satisfactory services, the great majority of our communities, especially in rural areas, still require considerable improvement. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning November 7, 1976, as Emergency Medical Services Week. I call upon the Governors and Mayors and all other State and local officials to assist hospital administrators and physicians, fire departments, public safety agencies and all ambulance services in improving emergency medical services. I call upon Federal agencies, especially the Departments of Transportation and Health, Education, and Welfare to continue, with renewed emphasis, their assistance to States and communities in accelerating efforts to help those in need of emergency medical assistance. I call upon all our people to lend their support to these efforts. We are a traveling nation and none of us knows when we might need help far from home. Let us affirm that this national legislation is only the beginning of our effort to upgrade and perpetuate this part of our total health care system so no individual in this country will lack help whenever or wherever he needs it.
