Mother's Day, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation By responding to new challenges, and assuming new roles, America's women are contributing much to the enrichment of American society. But for all that women do, there is no undertaking more challenging, no responsibility more awesome, than that of being a mother. Motherhood is more than a life role, it is a job that is continuously demanding and rewarding. A mother's guidance is most significant in the growth of her children into responsible, self-reliant, understanding and productive human beings. For all of their immeasurable and unselfish sacrifices in developing the character of our youth, that which is synonymous with love, creation, compassion, honor and integrity we are grateful for their countless contributions to their families, to their communities, and to the Nation. Each year we especially and significantly honor the

National Historic Preservation Week, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In this Bicentennial year, we have many opportunities to recall that the greatness of America is founded upon appreciation of our heritage and upon knowledge of the historic events that have shap)ed our national identity. One of the most important sources of our sense of national direction is our architectural heritage—the historic sites, structures and landmarks that link us physically with our past. This great fund of cultural resources includes not only sites such as well-known battlefields and structures of national significance such as the homes of famous patriots, but also includes typical houses, office buildings, factories, and stores, and other public buildings such as post offices, courthouses, and railroad stations. Along the streets of our cities and towns and in our rural areas, these sometimes humble but historic properties remind us of the accomplishments of our predecessors and, thereby, help to provide a continuity and historical perspective that are so important to the cultural heritage of any great nation. We are a vigorous and mobile people, often oriented more toward the future than the past. It is important for us to preserve our physical heritage in the face of progress. So it is a pleasure to note the efforts of those in the historic preservation movement, in both the public and private sector, who have led the movement to preserve these unique and irreplaceable inheritances of the past. An invaluable contribution by them has been to demonstrate how these historic structures of all types can meet the needs of contemporary society and at the same time add to the richness of our cultural heritage. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FOR D, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the calendar week beginning May 9, 1976, as National Historic Preservation Week.

As we mark this milestone of our national independence, however, we must not forget the lessons of history. Other nations have risen to great heights only to weaken in their resolve. We must not repeat their error. We must remain strong in our defense and steadfast in our resolve to uphold the principles with which we began two centuries ago. In accord with the request of the Congress, by joint resolution of May 11, 1950 (64 Stat. 158), let us especially pray on Memorial Day that our continued resolve and our eternal vigilance will bring lasting peace to peoples yearning for peace, and that our honored dead shall not have died in vain. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FOR D, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Memorial Day, Monday, May 31, 1976, 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 join in this obseivance. I also call upon the appropriate officials of all levels of government to fly the flag at half-staff until noon during 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 same customary forenoon period.

Flag Day and National Flag Week, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Less than a year after our forebears declared their independence, the Continental Congress chose a symbol of the new Nation they sought to bring into being and of the unity and resolve necessary to make that new Nation a reality. On June 14, 1777, the delegates voted: "... that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white: that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field representing a new constellation." With the addition of thirty-seven stars, our flag continues to symbolize a great and dynamic republic with the same commitment to liberty and justice. In this Bicentennial Year, all of us will join with our families, friends and neighbors in public celebrations of our Nation's birth. As we approach the 4th of July, it is especially appropriate this year that, on the anniversary of the adoption of our flag, we publicly express our dedication and respect for the flag of our Republic and the principles for which it stands. To commemorate the adoption of our flag, the Congress designated June 14 of each year as Flag Day and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its observance (36 U.S.C. 157). The Congress also requested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating the week in which June 14 occurs as National Flag Week and to call upon all citizens of the United States to display the flag of the United States on those days (36 U.S.C. 157a).

National Good Neighbor Day, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation O u r Nation's struggle for independence succeeded because the people of thirteen colonies set aside their separate interests and united for a common purpose. Over the years, our Nation expanded because our pioneer ancestors, though independent and self-reliant, recognized the need to work together and to extend a helping hand. This Bicentennial Year is an appropriate time to emphasize that only by accepting our individual responsibility to be good neighbors can we survive as a strong, united Nation. By recognizing our dependence on each other, we preserve our independence as a people. As we teach our children the cherished ideal of government by and for the people, let us begin by teaching them to know and care about the people next door. We must not only help each other, we must be willing to learn from each other so that we may remain forever united. Each individual American must make his or her own special effort to be a good neighbor. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FOR D, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the fourth Sunday in September, the 26th of September, 1976 as National Good Neighbor Day.

And I call upon governors and mayors to urge their citizens to renew the good neighbor spirit.

Temporary Quantitative Limitation on the Importation Into the United States of Certain Articles of Stainless Steel or Alloy Tool Steel

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Pursuant to section 201(d)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2251 (d)(1)), hereinafter referred to as "the Trade Act", the United States International Trade Commission, hereinafter referred to as " U S I T C ", on January 16, 1976, reported to the President ( U S I T C Report 201-5) the results of its investigation under subsection (b) of section 201 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2 2 5 1 (b)). The U S I T C determined that certain articles of stainless steel or alloy tool steel provided for in items 608.52, 608.76, 608.78, 608.85, 608.88, 609.06, 609.07, and 609.08 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States (TSUS) are being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury, or the threat thereof, to the domestic industry or industries producing articles like or directly competitive with the imported articles. The U S I T C recommended the imposition of certain quantitative restrictions on imports of the above specified articles. 2. On March 16, 1976, pursuant to section 2 0 2 (b)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2 2 5 2 (b)(1)), and after taking into account the considerations specified in section 202(c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2 2 5 2 (c)), I determined to remedy the injury or threat thereof, found to exist by the U S I T C, through the negotiation of orderly marketing agreements pursuant to section 203(a)(4) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(4)); and announced my intention to negotiate such agreements limiting the export from foreign countries and the import into the United States of certain articles of stainless steel or alloy tool steel. I also announced my intention to unilaterally impose quantitative restrictions if satisfactory orderly marketing agreements were not negotiated successfully. O n March 16, 1976, in accordance with Section 203(b)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(b)(1)), I transmitted a report to the Congress setting forth my determination and intention to negotiate orderly marketing agreements and stating the reasons why my decision differed from the action recommended by the U S I T C. 3. Section 2 0 3 (e)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2 2 5 3 (e)(1)) requires that import relief shall be proclaimed and take effect within 90 days after a Presidential determination to negotiate orderly marketing agreements under subsection (4) or (5) of section 203(a) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(4), (5)). 4. Pursuant to the authority vested in the President by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States, including section 2 0 3 (a)(4) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2 2 5 3 (a)(4)), an orderly marketing agreement was concluded on June 11, 1976, between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Japan limiting the export from Japan and the import into the United States of certain articles of stainless steel (except razor blade steel) or alloy tool steel provided for in items 608.52, 608.76, 608.78, 608.85, 608.88, 609.06, 609.07, and 609.08 of the T S U S, to be implemented as set forth in this proclamation.

(c) Shortfall.—During the last 3 months of a restraint period, should the Special Representative for Trade Negotiations determine that any quota quantity for a country or instrumentality under an item hereof is unlikely to be used during that restraint period, the Special Representative may modify the quota quantities for that item during such restraint period to reallocate the shortfall to other suppliers, such modification to be effective on or after the date of its publication in the FEDERAL REGISTER. A shortfall shall be considered likely when, inter alia, less than 6 6 % % of the quota quantity is entered in the first 9 months of a restraint period or less than 8 0 % of the quota quantity is entered in the first 10 months of a restraint period.

(d) Allocation.—If the Special Representative determines that it is necessary or appropriate, to assure equitable treatment, he may allocate or reallocate a specific quota quantity to any country or instrumentality subject to restriction (either individually or by inclusion in the "other" country groupings), either on an item by item basis, or for all items. (e) Carryover.—Whenever the quota quantity or base limit, whichever is less, specified for an item for importation from Japan has not been entered during any restraint period, the shortfall may be entered in the same item during the first 30 days of the following restraint period and not be counted against the quota quantity therefor, provided that the amount of shortfall so entered does not exceed 4 percent of the base limit as specified in the table in headnote 2 (f), for the restraint period during which the shortfall occurs. If in accordance with the provisions of headnote 2(f) all or part of a base limit of any item for Japan has been reallocated to the base limit of one or more other items for Japan, such amounts will not be considered a shortfall, and therefore not available for carryover. (f) Adjustments.—Upon appropriate request of the Government of Japan for an adjustment of the quota quantities between items as provided for herein, the Special Representative shall modify the provisions of this subpart accordingly, such modification to be effective on or after the date of its publication in the FEDERAL REGISTER.

Bicentennial Independence Day By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Continental Congress by resolution adopted July 2, 1776, declared that thirteen American colonies were free and independent states. Two days later, on the fourth of July, the Congress adopted a Declaration of Independence which proclaimed to the world the birth of the United States of America. I n the two centuries that have passed, we have matured as a nation and as a people. We have gained the wisdom that age and experience bring, yet we have kept the strength and idealism of youth. In this year of our Nation's Bicentennial, we enter our third century with the knowledge that we have achieved greatness as a nation and have contributed to the good of mankind. We face the future with renewed dedication to the principles embodied in our Declaration of Independence, and with renewed gratitude for those who pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to preserve individual liberty for us. I n recognition of the two hundredth anniversary of the great historic events of 1776, and in keeping with the wishes of the Congress, I ask that all Americans join in an extended period of celebration, thanksgiving and prayer on the second, third, fourth and fifth days of July of our Bicentennial year—so that people of all faiths, in their own way, may give thanks for the protection of divine Providence through 200 years, and pray for the future safety and happiness of our Nation. To commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, the Congress, by concurrent resolution adopted June 26, 1963 (77 Stat. 9441, declared that its anniversary be observed by the ringing of bells throughout the United States. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FOR D, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim that the two hundredth anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence be observed by the simultaneous ringing of bells throughout the United States at the hour of two o'clock, eastern daylight time, on the afternoon of the Fourth of July, 1976, our Bicentennial Independence Day, for a period of two minutes, signifying our two centuries of independence. I call upon civic, religious, and other community leaders to encourage public participation in this historic observance. I call upon all Americans, here and abroad, including all United States flag ships at sea, to join in this salute.

National Bicentennial Highway Safety Year, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Millions of Americans—men, women, and children—are planning to see and participate in Bicentennial activities. An expected twenty million visitors from abroad will also participate. The overwhelming majority of those involved in Bicentennial related activities will travel on the Nation's roadways. Since the beginning of the automobile age, over two million Americans have died on our Nation's highways. This exceeds the combined total of all the fatalities suflfered in all the wars that this country has fought since its founding. The Congress has requested (H.J. Res. 726) that the necessity for highway safety be recognized by Presidential proclamation so that our Bicentennial year does not become one of unparalleled carnage and slaughter on the highways. The Congress has further requested that all Americans participate in monthly safety programs during a National Bicentennial Highway Safety Year, with emphasis on the following specific activities: July—Safer Driving; August—Roadside Obstacle Elimination; September—Save O u r Children; October—Signs and Signals; November—Railroad Crossing Protection; December—Alcohol and Problem Drinkers; January—Safety Education; February—Safer Bridges; March—Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety; April—Pavement Marking and Delineation; May—Highway Hazard Removal; and June—Safety Belts and Child Restraints. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FOR D, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim that the twelve-month period beginning the month of July, 1976 is designated as National Bicentennial Highway Safety Year. As requested by the Congress, I call upon Americans in all walks of life, in both the public and private sectors, as individuals, groups, and organizations, to participate in appropriate programs and activities, at home, at work, and on the highway, so that lives may be saved and injuries prevented—symbolizing the rededication of the

Captive Nations Week, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation This year we mark the beginning of our third century as an independent nation. Two hundred years ago our Declaration of Independence declared that "all men are created equal." It did not say "all Americans" but embraced all men everywhere. Throughout our history we have repeatedly demonstrated our conviction and concern that men and women throughout the world should share the full blessings of liberty. As we celebrate our Bicentennial, it is important that we let the world know thai America still cares, that the torch in the Statue of Liberty still burns brightly. The world should know that we stand for freedom and independence in 1976, just as we stood for freedom and independence in 1776. For two centuries, the fundamental basis of American policy toward other nations has remained unchanged: the United States supports the aspirations for freedom, independence and national self-determination of all peoples. We do not accept foreign domination over any nation. We reaffirm today this principle and policy. The Eighty-Sixth Congress, by a joint resolution approved July 17, 1959 (73 Stat. 212), authorized and requested the President to proclaim the third week in July of each year as Captive Nations Week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FOR D, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning July 18, 1976 as Captive Nations Week. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities, and I urge rededication to the aspirations of all peoples for self-determination and liberty.

Space Exploration Day, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In the last two decades of our Nation's second century, we entered upon the exploration of yet another frontier—the corridors of space. Seven years ago, on July 20, 1969, this great national effort culminated in a transmission to Earth from a quarter million miles distance—"the Eagle has landed." The world watched in awe as an American took his historic one small step onto the Moon. A dream of thousands of years had been realized. I n keeping with tradition, the American presence in that new land was symbolized by the planting of the Stars and Stripes, which proclaimed the benefits of human freedom for the entire universe. The space programs reflect not only technological skill of the highest order, they reflect the best in the American character—sacrifice, ingenuity and our unrelenting spirit of adventure. We begin our third century with a further expression of that combination, the brilliant unmanned mission to Mars, the most ambitious of all deep space explorations. In celebrating the Bicentennial, we have gloried as a people in the history of a great and successful venture in the human experience. We gave thanks for our blessings and offered prayers for the future. It is appropriate that we again call upon Divine Providence for guidance and protection in our quest of space and those endless horizons in all the centuries to come. As we once set about to conquer the wilderness and settle our continent, now we set out upon a journey into the unknown of our universe. Wherever we reach, we will have come in peace for all mankind. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FOR D, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, July 20, 1976, as Space Exploration Day. I urge all Americans, and interested groups and organizations to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Leif Erikson Day, 1976

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In this extraordinary year which holds so much significance for the citizens of the United States, we render especial honor to those intrepid explorers who reached our land so long ago and prepared the way for the many who followed to settle this proud nation. ,

Although we celebrate the 200th year of our nationhood this year, our history stretches back much further to that Norseman of vision and courage, Leif Erikson. In a dark and superstitious age, he sailed far beyond the limits anyone else had dared, to touch our shores and to weave his brave exploit into our historical fabric. H e has left for us all a standard by which to set our sails as we move into a new century of existence. In a joint resolution approved September 2, 1964 (78 Stat. 849, 36 U.S.C. 169c), the Congress authorized the President to proclaim October 9 in each year as Leif Erikson Day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FOR D, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Saturday, October 9, 1976, as Leif Erikson Day and I direct the appropriate Goverrunent officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings that day. I also invite the people of the United States to honor the memory of Leif Erikson on that day by holding appropriate exercises and ceremonies in suitable places throughout our land.

To give substance and form to those self-evident truths, "We the People of the United States" created a constitutional republic to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." However, it was not until August 26, 1920, that the Nineteenth Amendment to our Constitution unambiguously secured for each of us, regardless of sex, that USC prec. title 1. precious mark of liberty—the right to vote. In October 1971 and March 1972, the House of Representatives and the Senate of the United States proposed a new amendment for our consideration—an amendment, completing the process begun by the Nineteenth, which would secure "equality of rights under the law" regardless of sex, for men and women. Several more States need to ratify that Equal Rights Amendment before it becomes part of our Constitution. It would be most fitting for this to be accomplished as we begin our third century. In this Land of the Free, it is right, and by nature it ought to be, that all men and all women are equal before the law. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, to remind all Americans that it is fitting and just to secure legal equality for all women and men, do hereby designate and proclaim August 26, 1976, as Women's Equality Day. I call upon all the citizens of the United States to mark this day with appropriate activities, and I call upon those States who have not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment to give serious consideration to its ratification and the upholding of our Nation's heritage.

A Proclamation One of the basic rights which we as Americans cherish is the freedom of each citizen to move, without barriers, about this great land. For visually handicapped Americans, the white cane is both an instrument and symbol of independence, permitting a degree of mobility not otherwise possible. A pathfinder, not a crutch, the white cane serves blind people as a sensitive transmitter of information. It signals the presence of obstacles and of changes in contour. It reassures by indicating the familiar as well as warning of the unexpected.

PROCLAMATION 4453—SEPT. 3, 1976 To its user, the white cane provides the confidence to venture forth, to experience the world, and to participate fully in life. The white cane also serves to alert others. It reminds those of us who can see to exercise simple courtesy and common sense in approaching a blind person. By providing assistance when it is desired, or often just by yielding the right of way, we can help assure safe passage and safeguard the right of visually handicapped persons to enjoy unhindered mobility. To make all Americans more fully aware of the significance and importance of the white cane and the need for extra alertness and consideration when approaching its user, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved October 6, 1964 (78 Stat. 1003; 36 U.S.C 169d), has authorized the President to proclaim October 15 of each year as White Cane Safety Day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 15, 1976, as White Cane Safety Day. On this occasion, I urge all sighted Americans to increase their knowledge and understanding of the needs and rights of visually handicapped Americans. In particular, each of us should be prepared to heed the message of the white cane and grant its users the extra measure of care necessary to their physical safety, self-confidence, and peace of mind.

Fire Prevention Week, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Two hundred years ago the United States of America declared its independence. More than a century before that the need for organized fire protection was recognized in the colonies with the establishment of the first fire departments. The same appreciation of the need for community protection is still needed today in order to avoid the destructive effect of uncontrolled fire. Each year in the United States alone, more than three million fires and explosions kill 12,000 persons; seriously burn another 300,000; and destroy more than $4 billion in property. Another $7 billion is spent for fire departments, fire insurance, and related costs. The richest and most technologically advanced nation in the world, we nevertheless lead all the major industrialized countries in per capita deaths and property loss from fire.

Most fires can be traced to a lack of active concern for fire safety. Unfortunately, the innocent—the very young and the aged—are most frequently the victims. This tragic situation need not continue. Methods of coping with fire's destructiveness have been developed. But technological advances alone will not stop the needless waste in human suffering and resources. A greater awareness of fire safety by all of us remains the only real answer, NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning Sunday, October 3, 1976, as Fire Prevention Week. I urge all citizens to work with their families and communities to learn and practice the basic rules of fire safety. I call upon all State and local governments, business, labor and other organizations, as well as schools, civic groups, and the media to observe Fire Prevention Week, to provide useful fire-safety information to the public, and to solicit the active participation of all citizens in fire prevention programs. I also ask the National Fire Protection Association, members of the Joint Council of National Fire Service Organizations, the National Fire Prevention and Control Administration, and other fire safety groups to provide the leadership and planning for a national fire prevention effort. Finally, I urge every citizen to remember that fire safety must be practiced yearround to be truly effective, not just during Fire Prevention Week.

Columbus Day, 1976 r\?:ili

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

^

In this our Bicentennial year, we owe special tribute to the great Italian explorer whose historic voyage to the new world opened the way to the founding of these United States. i,^ ^ r, ^H. , Sustained by the vision and financial support of Queen Isabella I of Spain, Christopher Columbus established the first permanent European settlement in the Americas, paving the way for the generations of immigrants from all over the world who came to build a new nation. This great achievement marked the beginning of a new era in the history of mankind. As the heirs to the spirit and determination of Christopher Columbus, we are proud to honor his memory and unshakable courage and faith which made his epic journey a reality nearly five centuries ago. In tribute to the achievement of Columbus, the Congress of the United States, by joint resolution approved April 30, 1934 (48 Stat. 657, 36 U.S.C. 146), as modified by the Act of June 28, 1968 (82 Stat. 250, 5 U.S.C. 6103(a) and note), requested the President to proclaim the second Monday in October of each year as Columbus Day.

National Forest Products Week, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In the Nation's first century, Americans viewed their forests primarily as a source of survival and economic growth. In our second century, we continue to depend upon our forest resources for fuel, timber and sustenance, but we recognized the limits of our natural resource heritage and initiated action to conserve and manage our forests for future generations. Fortunately, as we begin our third century, we have developed important tools to balance the needs of a growing population, our desire for an ever-improving standard of living, and concern for environmental quality. Forestry research continues to make progress in achieving maximum efficient utilization of forest resources. In addition, strong Federal, State, and local forestry programs have been established to foster sound management of publicly owned forest lands and to encourage private forest landowners, through education, technical assistance, and grants, to practice sound forestry management on their lands. This cooperation among Federal, State, and private sectors is essential if we are to continue to provide the forest products our people require. In order to emphasize America's reliance on forest resources and products, and to recognize their contribution in providing this Nation with consumer products, transportation systems, jobs and capital for economic growth, the Congress, by joint resolution of September 13, 1960 (74 Stat. 898; 36 U.S.C. 163), has designated the seven-day period beginning the third Sunday of October in each year as National Forest Products Week and has requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its appropriate observance. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of the United States to observe the week beginning Sunday, October 17, 1976, as National Forest Products Week, with activi-

General Pulaski's Memorial Day, 1976 BythePresidentof the United States of America A Proclamation The success of the struggle for American independence was insured in large measure by the courage, selflessness and sacrifice of patriots dedicated to the principles of freedom and equality. Casimir Pulaski was such a patriot and, one hundred and ninety-seven years ago this October, his devotion to these principles and their realization cost him his life. General Pulaski, in exile from his native land, came to America in 1777 to join the Revolutionary Army. He fought courageously at Brandywine and in other battles, and he commanded Pulaski's Legion which fought so valiantly and contributed greatly to the achievement of our independence. In October, 1779, General Pulaski died of woimds received in the Battle of Savannah. In commemoration of his heroic sacrifice in the cause of American independence, it is appropriate to pay grateful tribute to him and to the millions of Americans of Polish descent who have played such an important part in founding our country, fostering its growth, and preserving and perpetuating its ideals. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Monday, October 11, 1976, as General Pulaski's Memorial Day and I direct the appropriate Goverrunent officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on that day. I also invite the people of the United States to honor the memory of General Pulaski on that day with appropriate exercises and ceremonies in suitable places throughout our land. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of September, 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.

Veterans Day, 1976

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation America has entered its third century as a Nation whose citizens still are enriched by the priceless blessings of freedom. None among us has done more to defend and preserve our freedom than the patriotic men and women who answered our country's call to service and sacrifice, and who today bear the proud title of "veteran." To provide an occasion for the expression in words of tribute and through appropriate ceremonies our esteem for and gratitude to these courageous, unselfish Americans, the Congress determined (5 U.S.C. 6103(a)) that one day shall be set aside each year, as a national holiday, to honor our veterans. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FOR D, President of the United States of America, do hereby request that you, my fellow Americans, participate in the observance of Monday, October 25, 1976, as Veterans Day. I deem it most appropriate that in public ceremonies as well as in private thoughts and prayers we gratefully acknowledge the magnificent contribution of our veterans to an America that today remains free and, with the help of God, at peace. Veterans Day, 1976, can be made especially meaningful for our veterans who are patients in Veterans Administration hospitals by a visit from their relatives, friends and other Americans. Such a visit, however brief, will tell them as no words can that they have not been forgotten. I ask that Federal, State and local government officials arrange for the display of the flag of the United States on this day, and I ask those government officials to support fully and personally the observance of Veterans Day. Finally, I urge schools, churches, unions, and civic, patriotic and veterans' organizations to participate in appropriate public ceremonies throughout the country.

National Hispanic Heritage Weeic, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The America whose Bicentennial we celebrate this year was created and made great by the efforts of people who came to the shores of the new world in search of a future in which their opportunity would be determined by their own industry and desire to make better lives for themselves and their children. At the same time, they brought to this continent their own cultural heritage and, in so doing, contributed immeasurably to the formulation of the American spirit and character. America's H i s p a i c heritage was strong even before we achieved our independence. Men and women of Hispanic origin fought in the Revolutionary War and in subsequent conflicts. They have enriched our culture, arts and scholarship. They have used their talents to help America build a society based on ideals of freedom and equality. This year is also the sesquicentennial of the Inter-American System, begun 150 years ago with the Congress of Panama. America's Hispanic heritage strengthens the ties of friendship and interdependence that bind the nations of the hemisphere. I n celebrating it, we celebrate our mutual commitment to peace and amity. In recognition of the invaluable contributions to our society of men and women of Hispanic origin, the Congress, by joint resolution approved September 17, 1968 (36 U.S.C. 169f) has requested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating the week including September 15 and 16 as National Hispanic Heritage Week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FOR D, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning September 12, 1976, as National Hispanic Heritage Week. I call upon the people of the United States, especially the educational community, to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Citizenship Day and Constitution Week, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation With the signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787, the USC prec. title 1. founding fathers approved for the people of this Nation an eflfective plan of selfgovernment, which has, with its subsequent amendments—including the Bill of Rights—preserved the principles of the Declaration of Independence. It is the responsibility of the citizens of the United States to uphold, support and defend those ideals. An understanding and appreciation of the events and hardships which produced that great document is indispensable to a rededication to the preservation of its ideals.

,

To that end, the Congress, by a joint resolution of February 29, 1952 (36 U.S.C. 153), designated September 17 as Citizenship Day, in commemoration of the formation and signing of the Constitution of the United States on September 17, 1787, and authorized the President to issue annually a proclamation calling upon officials of the Government to display the flag on all Government buildings on that day. By a joint resolution of August 2, 1956 (36 U.S.C. 159), Congress authorized the President to designate the period beginning September 17 and ending September 23 of each year as Constitution Week and to issue a proclamation calling for the observance of that week. The commemoration during the year 1976 assumes special significance, because it also marks the Bicentennial anniversary of the founding on July 4, 1776, of our country as an independent Nation. This is a time for reflection upon our history and upon our future, and a time for commitment to the goals that have made America great. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FOR D, President of the United States of America, call upon appropriate Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on Citizenship Day, September 17, 1976. I urge Federal, State and local officials, as well as leaders of all religious, civic, educational and other organizations, to conduct meaningful ceremonies and observances on that day to commemorate the formation and signing of the Constitution and to extend recognition to those persons who during the year acquired the status of citizenship, either by coming of age or by naturalization. I also designate the period beginning September 17 and ending September 23, 1976, as Constitution Week, and I urge the people of the United States to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities in their schools and churches and in other suitable places, to the end that our citizens may have a better understanding of the Constitution and of the rights and responsibilities of United States citizenship. IN W I T N E S S WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and first.

National School Lunch Week, 1976

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation J •'

'*t,|

Productive people are our Nation's greatest natural resource. Americans are agreed on the importance of seeing that every child in our country gets a healthy start in life. Sound nutrition is a vital building block in our children's growth and development. Malnutrition must not be allowed to harm the development of any American child. Thirty years ago, we demonstrated our concern for our children's well-being with the inauguration of the National School Lunch Program. Through it, millions of children have received the benefit of improved nutrition, and therefore a better opportunity for full, healthy development. The National School Lunch Program exemplifies the cooperative spirit that underscores the efforts of food producers and distributors, dietitians, educators, parents, civic groups and public officials at all levels of Government to ensure the health and welfare of our Nation's youngsters. In recognition of the Program's contribution to America's youth, the Congress, by a joint resolution of October 9, 1962 (76 Stat. 779; 36 U.S.C. 168), has designated the week beginning the second Sunday of October in each year as National School Lunch Week, and has requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its appropriate observance. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FOR D, President of the United States of America, do hereby urge the people of the United States to observe the week of October 10, 1976, as National School Lunch Week and to give special recognition to the role of good nutrition in building a stronger America through its youth.

National Employ the Handicapped Week, 1976

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation As we celebrate the two-hundredth anniversary of our national independence, physically and mentally handicapped Americans are seeking new opportunities to use their talents, abilities and experience. Assisting those of our citizens who are disabled are programs designed to provide equality of opportunity and equality of education. These programs place new emphasis on the needs of those with severe disabilities, and a new and growing consumer movement of and for handicapped persons. O u r forefathers promised independence and made that promise a reality. Disabled people now seek fulfillment of that promise for themselves. We are firm in our resolve to remove those barriers which still prevent handicapped citizens from making their full contribution to the Nation's economic and social health. Next spring the White House Conference on Handicapped Individuals will serve to stimulate a national assessment of problems facing individuals with handicaps and to develop recommendations to solve those problems. In order to enlist support for an interest in the employment of otherwise qualified but handicapped persons, the Congress, by joint resolution of August 11, 1945, as amended (36 U.S.C. 155), has called for the designation of the first week in October of each year as National Employ the Handicapped Week and has requested the President to issue a proclamation each year calling for its appropriate observance. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FOR D, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning October 3, 1976, as National Employ the Handicapped Week, and call upon the people of the United States to observe that week with ceremonies designed to elicit recognition and support for the needs, contributions, and aspirations of those citizens. I urge the Nation's Governors, Mayors, and all other public officials, as well as leaders in every area of American life, to join with disabled people in active participation in these activities.
