 97 STAT. 1622 PROCLAMATION 5098—SEPT. 15, 1983 Day. I direct the appropriate Government 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 the land. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 15th day of Sept., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5098 of September 15, 1983 Thanksgiving Day, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Since the Pilgrims observed the initial Thanksgiving holiday in 1621, this oc- casion has served as a singular expression of the transcending spiritual values that played an instrumental part in the founding of our country. One hundred and twenty years ago, in the midst of a great and terrible civil conflict. President Lincoln formally proclaimed a national day of Thanksgiv- ing to remind those "insensible to the ever watchful providence of Almighty God" of this Nation's bounty and greatness. Several days after the dedica- tion of the Gettysburg battlefield, the United States celebrated its first na- tional Thanksgiving. Every year since then, our Nation has faithfully contin- ued this tradition. The time has come once again to proclaim a day of thanksgiving, an occasion for Americans to express gratitude to their God and their country. In his remarks at Gettysburg, President Lincoln referred to ours as a Nation "under God." We rejoice in the fact that, while we have maintained sepa- rate institutions of church and state over our 200 years of freedom, we have at the same time preserved reverence for spiritual beliefs. Although we are a pluralistic society, the giving of thanks can be a true bond of unity among our people. We can unite in gratitude for our individual freedoms and indi- vidual faiths. We can be united in gratitude for our Nation's peace and prosperity when so many in this world have neither. As was written in the first Thanksgiving Proclamation 120 years ago, "No human counsel hath devised nor hath any mortal hand worked out these great things. They are the gracious gifts of the Most High God." God has blessed America and her people, and it is appropriate we recognize this bounty. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, in the spirit of the Pilgrims, President Lincoln, and all succeed- ing Presidents, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 24, 1983, as a Na- tional Day of Thanksgiving, and I call upon Americans to affirm this day of thanks by their prayers and their gratitude for the many blessings upon this land and its people. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 15th day of

 PROCLAMATION 5100—SEPT. 19, 1983 97 STAT. 1623 Sept., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Editorial Note: According to a note appearing on page 1441 of volume 19 of the Weekly Compila- tion of Presidential Documents, the Office of the Press Secretary states that the word "first" should be deleted from the text where it appears in the second and fourth paragraphs of Procla- mation 5098. Proclamation 5099 of September 19, 1983 National Historically Black Colleges Day, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The one hundred and three historically black colleges and universities in the United States have contributed substantially to the growth and enrich- ment of the Nation. These institutions have a rich heritage and tradition of providing the challenging higher education so essential to an individual's full participation in our complex technological society. Historically black colleges and universities bestow forty percent of all de- grees earned by black students. They have awarded degrees to eighty-five percent of the country's black lawyers and doctors and fifty percent of its black business executives. Throughout the years, these institutions have helped many underprivileged students to attain their full potential through higher education. In recognition of the fact that the achievements and goals of these histori- cally black colleges and universities deserve national attention, the Con- gress of the United States, by Senate Joint Resolution 85, has designated Ante, p. 488. and requested the President to proclaim September 26, 1983, as National Historically Black Colleges Day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 26, 1983, as National Historical- ly Black Colleges Day. I ask all Americans to observe this day with appro- priate ceremonies and activities to express our respect and appreciation for the outstanding academic and social accomplishments of the Nation's black institutions of higher learning. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 19th day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.

 97 STAT. 1624 PROCLAMATION 5101—SEPT. 20, 1983 women who have worn our Nation's uniform to preserve America's freedom and world peace. Our Armed Forces veterans have earned a special day in which you and I may focus on their heroic accomplishments. For their unselfish devotion to duty, Congress established Veterans Day as a national expression of grati- tude. On this historic occasion, our hearts and minds should be with our living veterans and their deceased comrades who have contributed so much to the defense of our country's ideals. From Valley Forge when our Nation was in its infancy, to the Vietnam con- flict where our men and women in uniform served and died for the human rights of others, through war and peace, these valiant citizens have an- "^ swered the call to service with honor and dignity. They are indeed worthy of a formal tribute from a grateful Nation. Special consideration is due to those veterans who are sick and disabled. There is no better tangible ex- pression of our affection than by remembering to visit them at home or in our hospitals. In order that we pay meaningful tribute to those men and women who proudly served in our Armed Forces, Congress has provided (5 U.S.C. 6103(a)) that November 11 shall be set aside each year as a legal public holiday to honor America's veterans. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Friday, November 11, 1983, as Veterans Day. In recognition of their valor, I urge all Americans to join with me in a fitting salute to our veterans, and I call upon Federal, State, and local gov- ernment officials as well as private citizens to mark Veterans Day by dis- playing the flag of the United States, and I ask those Government officials to support fully and personally its observance by appropriate ceremonies throughout the country. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 19th day of Sept., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5101 of September 20, 1983 National Cystic Fibrosis Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Cystic fibrosis is one of the most common fatal genetic diseases among children in the United States. In spite of its prevalence, however, the dis- ease remains a mystery in many ways. Its underlying cause is elusive, as is a method for identifying carriers who have no symptoms. Even in victims of cystic fibrosis, the disease manifests itself in many different ways, often masquerading as other conditions, and thus confunds diagnosis. Through the combined efforts of the Federal government's National Insti- tutes of Health, private voluntary agencies, and researchers at medical cen- ters and universities across the country, we are making inroads toward ex- plaining the mysteries of cystic fibrosis. While the disease once was almost invariably fatal in infancy and early childhood, innovations in diagnosis and treatment over the past 20 years have virtually doubled the average

 PROCLAMATION 5102—SEPT. 21, 1983 97 STAT. 1625 age of survival of its victims. For example, half of the children born with cystic fibrosis can now expect to live to age 21. But this good news brings with it new hurdles. While people with cystic fibrosis are embarking on careers and assuming societal responsibilities to a greater extent than ever before, they do so in the shadow of a disease that remains progressively debilitating. Therefore, the challenge remains to identify the cause of this disease and ultimately, we hope, to prevent it. Scientists are uncovering in greater and greater detail the metabolic defects involved in cystic fibrosis. By focusing on the unique physiology of people with the disease, researchers are getting closer to being able to identify its cause. In this effort, public awareness of the hallmarks and treatment of cystic fibrosis and of the importance of con- tinuing scientific research are critical. To enhance the public's awareness of this disease, the Congress of the United States, by Senate Joint Resolution 131, has designated the week of Ante, p. 613. September 18 through September 24, 1983 as "National Cystic Fibrosis Week" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclama- tion in observance of that week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning September 18, 1983, as National Cystic Fibrosis Week, and I call upon the people of the United States to observe that week by focusing attention on cystic fibrosis and the continuing efforts to clarify the causes of the disease and improve the treat- ment of its victims. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 20th day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5102 of September 21, 1983 National Sickle-Cell Anemia Awareness Month, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Sickle-cell disease affects the health of some 50,000 to 60,000 Americans, most of whom are blacks. An additional two million blacks are carriers of the sickle-cell trait. Though the trait usually does not have clinical symp- toms, it is very important in the genetic transmission of sickle-cell disease. Since the early 1970's, the Federal government has conducted a National Sickle-Cell Disease Program. Coordinated by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, it promotes efforts toward prevention, diagnosis, and treat- ment of this disease. In addition, the National Institutes of Health have sup- ported ten Comprehensive Sickle-Cell Centers throughout the United States. These facilities have been successful in developing unified programs of basic and clinical research, training, and community service directed at sickle-cell disease. In the past decade, there has been substantial progress in research on sickle-cell disease. Diagnostic procedures have been greatly improved.

 97 STAT. 1626 PROCLAMATION 5103—SEPT. 22, 1983 Measures to ameliorate the excruciatingly painful sickle-cell crises have been introduced for those afflicted with the disease. Our ability to combat life-threatening complications also has improved. Although much has been accomplished through this comprehensive national effort, more remains to be done to conquer this serious health problem. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of September, 1983, as National Sickle-Cell Anemia Awareness Month. I invite all Americans to join with me in reaffirming our commitment to reduce the burden of illness, disabil- ity, and premature death imposed by this disease. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 21st day of Sep- tember, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5103 of September 22, 1983 American Business Women's Day, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The activities of American businesswomen have experienced a dramatic transition and expansion in recent years. More and more women are par- ticipating in every aspect of business—as owners, executives, professionals, support staff and production workers. Women play an increasingly important role in the Nation's economy and in determining and implementing the direction of both the private and public sectors of our Nation. Women entrepreneurs currently are the fastest grow- ing segment of the small business community, owning twenty-two percent of all sole proprietorships and realizing gross receipts of over $40 billion. Women own businesses as diverse as coal mining, construction, manufac- turing, and wholesale and retail trade. With more options and choices available to them, women are realizing their potential as a vital force in the American economy. In recognition that businesswomen are increasingly influencing the growth of our economy and the direction of our Nation, the Congress, by Senate Ante, p. 290. Joint Resolution 18 (Public Law 98-55), has designated September 22, 1983, as "American Business Women's Day" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 22, 1983, as American Business Women's Day. I call upon every American to join me in observing this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 22nd day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.

 PROCLAMATION 5104—SEPT. 23, 1983 97 STAT. 1627 Proclamation 5104 of September 23, 1983 Modification of Country Allocations of Quotas on Certain Sugars, Sirups and Molasses By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Headnote 2 of subpart A, part 10, schedule 1 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States [19 U.S.C. 1202), hereinafter referred to as the "TSUS", provides in relevant part as follows: "(i)... if the President finds that a particular rate not lower than such January 1, 1968, rate, limited by a particular quota, may be established for any articles provided for in items 155.20 or 155.30, which will give due consideration to the interests in the United States sugar market of domestic producers and materially affected contracting parties to the General Agreement on Tar- iffs and Trade, he shall proclaim such particular rate and such quota limitation,..." "(ii)... any rate and quota limitation so established shall be modified if the President finds and proclaims that such modification is required or appropriate to give effect to the above consider- ations;..." 2. Headnote 2 was added to the TSUS by Proclamation 3822 of December 16, 1967 (82 Stat. 1455] to carry out a provision in the Geneva [1967] Proto- col of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (Note 1 of Unit A, Chap- ter 10, Part I of Schedule XX; 19 U.S.T., Part II, 1282). The Geneva Protocol 61 Stat. A1157. is a trade agreement that was entered into and proclaimed pursuant to sec- tion 201(a) of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1821(a)). Section 201(a) of the Trade Expansion Act authorizes the President to proclaim the modification or continuance of any existing duty or other import restriction or such additional import restriction as he determines to be required or ap- propriate to carry out any trade agreement entered into under the authority of that Act. 3. By Proclamation 4941 of May 5, 1982 (47 FR 19661), I modified the quanti- 3 CFR, 1982 tative limitations on the importation into the United States of certain Comp., p.55. sugars, sirups and molasses established in headnote 3 pursuant to the au- thority in headnote 2 and provided for a country-by-country allocation of the quota quantity established therein. 4. I find the additional modifications of the quantitative limitations which are hereinafter proclaimed are appropriate to carry out the trade agreement described in paragraph 2 of this Proclamation and the International Sugar Agreement, 1977 (31 U.S.T. 5135), and give due consideration to the inter- ests in the United States sugar market of domestic producers and materially affected contracting parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. 61 Stat. AS. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the United States, including section 201 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, Section 301 of Title 3 of the United States Code, the International Sugar Agreement, 1977, Implementation Act (7 U.S.C. 3601 et seq.], and not- withstanding Executive Order 12224, and in conformity with headnote 2 of 7 USC 3602 note, subpart A, part 10, schedule 1 of the TSUS, do hereby proclaim until other- wise superseded: A. Notwithstanding the provisions of Proclamation 4941, as amended, paragraph (c)(i) of headnote 3 of subpart A, part 10, schedule 1 of the TSUS is modified by designating the note at the end of the table "NOTE 1" and by adding the following new note:

Nicaragua 6,000 short tons, raw value El Salvador 2.6 percent of the total base quota amount permitted to be imported under paragraphs (a) and (b) of this headnote plus 18 percent of the difference between 2.1 percent of the total base quota amount and 6,000 short tons, raw value Honduras 1.0 percent of the total base quota amount plus 52 percent of the difference between 2.1 percent of the total base quota amount and 6,000 short tons, raw value Costa Rica 1.5 percent of the total base quota amount plus 30 percent of the difference between 2.1 percent of the total base quota amount and 6,000 short tons, raw value" B. The provisions of this Proclamation shall be effective for sugars, sirups, and molasses, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consump- tion, on or after September 26, 1983.

RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5105 of September 27, 1983 United Nations Day, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The United Nations remains today—38 years after its creation—an institu- tion uniquely endowed to promote international political, economic, social, and technical cooperation. Conceived during a brutal war and nurtured in a troubled peace, the United Nations has seen many of its shining promises realized, but many others have been frustrated. More often than the world community can afford, rivalries and divisions among states prompt abuse or misuse of the powers and machinery of the United Nations. Despite these imperfections, the system and its machinery continue to offer oppor- tunities for mediating differences which threaten to erupt in hostilities; for arranging and overseeing agreements to end tensions or conflicts; for pro- moting the technical and scientific cooperation essential to meet problems of growth and development; and for coping with international emergencies of all kinds. The people and the Government of the United States of America take pride in the support—moral, intellectual, political, and financial—which we have rendered to the United Nations, and in the leadership which we have pro- vided to help bring about its foremost achievements. We also take pride in the knowledge that the principles of the United Nations charter are the same ones which underlie our liberty, our progress, and our development as a democratic society. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Monday, October 24, 1983, as United Na- tions Day, and urge all Americans to better acquaint themselves with the activities and accomplishments of the United Nations.

 PROCLAMATION 5107—SEPT. 27, 1983 97 STAT. 1629 I have appointed William M. Ellinghaus to serve as 1983 United States Chairman for United Nations Day, and I welcome the role of the United Na- tions Association of the United States of America in working with him to celebrate this special day. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of Sept., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5106 of September 27, 1983 National Sewing Month, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Over fifty million Americans sew at home. Their efforts demonstrate the persistence, skill, and self-reliance which are so characteristic of this Nation. The home sewing industry generates over $3,500,000,000 annually for our economy and serves to introduce many younger Americans to activ- ities which lead to careers in such fields as fashion, textile design, interior design and retail merchandising. In recognition of the importance of home sewing to our economy, the Con- gress, by House Joint Resolution 218, has designated September 1983 as Ante, p. 714. "National Sewing Month." NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 1983 as National Sewing Month. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this month with ap- propriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty- three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5107 of September 27, 1983 National Adult Day Care Center Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Adult day care centers provide supervised community settings in which partially disabled men and women of all ages can obtain care that may not be available in their own homes. These centers provide opportunities for adults who are socially isolated to find friends and learn skills. Day care centers enable individuals to obtain the care they need without being forced to live in institutions, and they offer needed respite to families whose infirmed relatives live with them. In recognition that adult day care centers and their dedicated professional staffs serve many health maintenance functions, provide vital medical care.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning on September 25, 1983, as National Adult Day Care Center Week, and I call upon every American community to consider the value of adult day care centers and to give ap- propriate recognition to centers offering these important services throughout that week. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5108 of September 27, 1983 National Employ the Handicapped Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Our Nation's history is rooted in the struggle to attain independence: the right of free choice by free citizens in a society that honors the efforts of individuals. The movement of disabled people to full participation in our society, with all its benefits and responsibilities, is an ideal whose time has surely come. All across this Nation, disabled people are striving to obtain more control over their lives through choices that minimize their reliance and depend- ence on others. They are taking charge of their own lives and becoming re- sponsible for their own affairs. They are participating in the day-to-day life of the community and fulfilling the whole range of social roles possible in our society. Since World War II, the United States has set aside one week each year to emphasize ways in which more people with disabilities can be assisted in their efforts to become independent through gainful employment. Despite past and present efforts of employers to hire people with disabilities, the unemployment level of disabled people continues to be unnecessarily high. To solve this problem, we must plan and develop strategies to demonstrate that disabled people are a valuable resource to our economy and our soci- ety. The Congress, by joint resolution of August 11, 1945, as amended (36 U.S.C. 155], has called for the designation of the first full week in October of each year as National Employ the Handicapped Week. During this week, let us renew our commitments to expand the opportunities for disabled citizens and help them to attain their personal goals. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 2, 1983, as Na- tional Employ the Handicapped Week.

Let us all work together to fulfill the dreams of our disabled citizens: full participation in our expand- ing economy. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 27th. day of Sept., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5109 of September 27, 1983 National High School Activities Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Extracurricular activities in the high schools of this country provide our stu- dents with valuable opportunities to discover and develop talents in areas other than those covered within the classroom. Extracurricular activities also build school spirit and demonstrate the importance of promoting common goals. Through such programs as student government, athletics, music, drama, debate, journalism, community service, and many others, students gain key insights into the roles which competition and cooperation play in our soci- ety. Moreover, these experiences help students to learn to set and achieve goals, to organize their time effectively, and to enhance the social skills that are needed to enjoy and succeed in life. In recognition of the significant place extracurricular opportunities have in the growth of our high school students, the Congress of the United States, by Senate Joint Resolution 101, has authorized and requested the President 96 Stat. 2291. to proclaim the week of October 17 through October 23, 1983 as National High School Activities Week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 17, 1983 as Na- tional High School Activities Week, and I call upon the people of the United States to observe this period with appropriate programs, ceremo- nies, and activities.

 97 STAT. 1632 PROCLAMATION 5111—OCT. 1, 1983 perts formerly believed that Alzheimer's occurred only in persons under 65, it now is recognized as the most common cause of severe intellectual im- pairment in older individuals. Presently, there is no established treatment that can cure, reverse or stop the progression of this disease, which is the cause of serious confusion and forgetfulness in about 1.5 -2.5 million elderly persons in the United States. Because there is an association of dementia with aging and because Ameri- cans are living longer, the numbers affected by this disease will continue to grow. As many as half of those in nursing homes suffer from this degener- ative brain disease. Also, because of the decrease in life expectancy ac- companying the illness, Alzheimer's is thought to be the fourth leading cause of death among adults of age 65 or more. Generally, from the time of onset, the disease reduces a person's remaining life expectancy by about one-half. It also deprives its victims of the opportunity to enjoy life and takes a serious toll on its victims' families and friends. The emotional, financial and social consequences of Alzheimer's disease are so devastating that it deserves special attention. Science and clinical medicine are striving to improve our understanding of what causes Alz- heimer's disease and how to treat it successfully. Right now, research is the only hope for victims and families. To recognize that progress is being made against this disease and to show understanding and support for the individuals and the families and friends of those who are affected, the Congress of the United States, by Senate Ante, p. 724. Joint Resolution 82, has authorized and requested the President to proclaim November 1983 as National Alzheimer's Disease Month. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of November 1983 as National Alzheimer's Disease Month. I call upon government agencies and the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate ceremo- nies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.

In the 25 years since the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was created by an Act of Congress, our country and the world have witnessed an unsurpassed record of scientific and tech- nical achievements which has established the United States as the world leader in aerospace research and development. In aeronautics, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has conducted an effective and productive research and technology program

Two-thirds of the world's commer- cial aircraft fleet is American designed and built, accounting for some $10 biliion in positive trade balance in 1982. NASA's wind tunnels, laboratories, and such experimental aircraft as the X-15 provide the solid essential re- search base for technology advancement and leadership. In space, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has conduct- ed one of the most dramatic of all human endeavors: the Apollo Project which, 14 years ago, landed men on the Moon for the first time and re- turned them safely 240,000 miles to Earth. In addition, remotely controlled spacecraft have been dispatched on missions extending from near Earth orbit to the far reaches of the solar system. Through the Viking mission, the winds of Mars have been measured; through the Voyager mission, volca- noes on a moon of Jupiter have been observed and the rings of Saturn have been counted. More information has been gathered about the cosmos in 25 years than had been gleaned in all the preceding centuries. In the Space Shuttle, first launched in 1981, America now has a sophisticated new system for space research—a machine that delivers payloads routinely to orbit; allows humans to work in space; returns crew, experiments, and un- repairable spacecraft to Earth; and is reconditioned within a short period for its next launch. The Shuttle is booked through 1988, an indication of how utilitarian space has become. The government uses it to preserve the national security; the private sector uses it for commercial advantage; NASA uses it in a search for knowledge, not just of the beyond, but applied knowledge which will shed light on conditions and circumstances critical to the Earth and its inhabitants. Significant benefits have already been derived from space research. For ex- ample, communications satellites now provide worldwide communications to well over 100 countries. Communications satellites have profoundly changed modern life, making events immediate, impacts instantaneous, and instruction possible almost anywhere. Future benefits will be even more im- pressive. The future looks bright, and NASA will be an important part of it. The government-industry-university partnership, pioneered by NASA, has worked exceedingly well in aerospace research, providing a model to others on how the different sectors of American society can work together. This effort reflects America at its best: peacefully seeking knowledge and enlightenment, advancing technology for mankind's benefit, and organizing resources to accomplish great missions. In order to recognize the enormous achievements by the National Aeronau- tics and Space Administration, the Congress has, by House Joint Resolution 284, authorized and requested the President to proclaim October 1, 1983, as Ante, p. 731. the "Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the National Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration." NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 1, 1983, as the "Twenty-fifth Anni- versary of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration." I call upon the people of the United States to observe that occasion with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of Oc- tober, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.

 97 STAT. 1634 PROCLAMATION 5112—OCT. 3, 1983 Proclamation 5112 of October 3, 1983 National Year of Partnerships in Education 1983-1984 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation America's future is dependent upon the health and vitality of her education system. Although thousands of businesses, industries, individuals, organiza- tions, teachers, administrators, and government at all levels have been in- volved in the education of our youth, there is more work to be done. More people must become active in improving the quality of education in our Nation. Recently, many schools have developed private sector partnerships in an effort to broaden available resources and reach out to their communities for support. The private sector has much to offer the growing national move- ment to improve our education system. Some of the most effective methods include helping educators identify the learning needs of our society; encour- aging professional exchanges between teachers, educators, and businesses; contributing expertise, financial resources, and equipment; and providing technical assistance in school administration and curriculum development. In order to encourage this trend, I call upon businesses, organizations, indi- viduals, and agencies to become involved with their local schools. Partnerships in Education Year gives us the opportunity to acknowledge the efforts of the private sector and to encourage the creation of new partner- ships in education all across this Nation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the period from October 1, 1983, through June 30, 1984, as the National Year of Partnerships in Education. I invite all Americans to join me in my commitment to the excellence and quality of education offered to all Americans. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 3rd day of Oct., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5113 of October 4, 1983 National Productivity Improvement Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The challenge of greater productivity growth is of supreme importance to America's future. Only through productivity gains can real living standards be improved. Greater productivity growth is the cornerstone of price stabil- ity and sustained economic growth. It is vital to regaining our competitive position in world markets and creating job opportunities for an expanding American labor force. Productive societies reward saving, investing, building, and creating rather than consuming. A productive society lives within its means and does not pursue a pattern in its spending habits that results in simply shifting its bur- dens forward to the future. Productive societies also nourish the spirit of

Productive societies share common objectives and their leading institutions work together—business, government, labor, and academia view each other as partners, not adver- saries. We have made much progress in restoring the foundation for a prosperous and productive society. By reducing the rate of growth of government spending, by strengthening the incentives to save and invest, by eliminating many unnecessary and burdensome regulations, and by encouraging mone- tary policies that ensure the price stability needed for lasting economic growth we have created an environment for sustained increases in produc- tivity. The improvement of our Nation's productivity depends on all Americans. The recently concluded White House Conference on Productivity brought together an outstanding group of distinguished citizens from all walks of life and sectors of our economy. Their recommendations for actions at all levels in the public and private sectors will help us build on the foundation we have laid. In order to encourage better understanding of the need for productivity growth and the development of methods to improve productivity in the pri- vate and public sectors, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 142, has Ante, p. 754. designated the week of October 3 through October 9, 1983, as National Pro- ductivity Improvement Week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of October 3 through October 9, 1983, as National Productivity Improvement Week. I call upon the people of the United States to observe such week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 4th day of Oct., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5114 of October 5, 1983 Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Americans with myasthenia gravis cannot move about freely, as most of us can. This chronic neuromuscular disease, which has no known cause, pro- duces progressive muscular weakness and abnormally rapid fatigue of the voluntary muscles. Myasthenia gravis can also result in a life-threatening medical crisis, particularly when a patient's throat muscles are affected. Myasthenia gravis can strike any person, at any age, at any time. At least 100,000 people have been diagnosed as having this disorder, and scientists estimate that another 100,000 persons with myasthenia gravis have not yet been diagnosed. In the past, myasthenia gravis patients died or were severely incapacitated by their weakened muscles. Several forms of treatment developed by scien- tists in private and Federal research institutions have led to improved man- agement of the disease. Research supported by the Myasthenia Gravis

Today, myasthenia gravis patients can expect to lead nearly normal lives. Although much has been learned about myasthenia gravis, we still do not have the means to prevent this crippling disease. In order that the public should be made aware of the suffering endured by those who have the dis- Ante, p. 755. ease, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 140, has authorized and re- quested the President to proclaim the week of October 2 through October 8, 1983, as "Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Week." NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 2, 1983, as Myasthenia Gravis Awareness Week. I call upon all government agencies, health organizations, and the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5115 of October 7, 1983 National Schoolbus Safety Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Schoolbus transportation serves a very special and important segment of this Nation—our children. More than twenty-two million young Americans use schoolbuses to get to school. When we consider the millions of young people who are transported and the millions of trips schoolbuses make each year, we can take great pride in our safety record. Nevertheless, we must reaffirm our commitment to providing the safest possible transportation for our children. They are our most important resource, and their safe transport deserves to be one of our highest priorities. In recognition of the national program which is underway to call public at- tention to the importance of schoolbus safety, and in recognition of the im- portance of safe transport of our young students to and from school, the Ante, p. 756. Congress, by House Joint Resolution 137, has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation designating the week of October 2 through October 8, 1983, as National Schoolbus Safety Week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning on October 2, 1983, as National Schoolbus Safety Week. I call upon the people of the United States and interested groups and organizations to observe that week with appropriate activities and ceremonies.

 PROCLAMATION 5117—OCT. 13, 1983 97 STAT. 1637 Proclamation 5116 of October 13, 1983 Lupus Awareness Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Systemic lupus erthematosus (also known as lupus, or SLE) is a serious, po- tentially fatal, connective tissue disease that can affect many different organs of the body. More than 500,000 Americans are estimated to have lupus, approximately 90 percent of whom are women. The disease usually begins in adolescence or young adult life. Scientists believe that lupus is caused by disturbances in the body's immune system; hormonal abnormalities and genetic factors also seem to be important. In its systemic form, the disease may involve the skin, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs and brain, in varying combinations. The outlook for victims of lupus has been improving in recent years. The survival rate has increased as a result of greater awareness of the disease, improved diagnostic methods, and more effective treatments. However, new research findings and new approaches to diagnosis and improved treatment are urgently needed to eUminate lupus as a cause of human suffering. The Federal government and private voluntary organizations have developed a strong, enduring partnership committed to lupus research. I am confident that this cooperation will hasten the time when the cause and cure for the disease will be found. In recognition of the progress being made in research, diagnostic methods and effective treatments for the cure and alleviation of lupus, and the need for greater public awareness of this disease, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 102, has authorized and requested the President to proclaim the Ante, p. 830. week of October 16 through October 22, 1983, as "Lupus Awareness Week." NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of October 16 through October 22, 1983, as "Lupus Awareness Week," and I call upon the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

The cities sustain industry, services, cultural centers, and house 97 percent of the population. Each year the people of our farms and cities pause during Farm-City Week to reflect on their interdependence and the strength and vitality that each brings to our national life. It is appropriate that Farm-City Week comes near Thanksgiving, the traditional time since Colonial days for Americans to reflect on the rich bounty of the harvest. As a people we are indeed blessed to live in a land with a plentiful supply of wholesome food. In a short period of time, the United States has developed from an agricul- tural economy with scattered rural outposts, clinging to life in the New World, to an efficient production system in which only three percent of the Nation's people feed and clothe the entire population. This rapid growth has been made possible through the unparalleled productivity and coopera- tion of farm and city people working in close harmony. In order that farm and city people may continue to reflect on the benefits of mutual support, and to show their grateful appreciation for their combined efforts, the American people have traditionally set aside a week each year to pay tribute to farm-city people. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the period November 18 through November 24, 1983, as National Farm-City Week. I call upon all Americans, in rural areas and in cities alike, to join in recognizing the accomplishments of our productive farm families and of our urban residents in working together in a spirit of cooperation and interdependence to create bounty, wealth, and strength for the Nation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 13th day of Oct., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5118 of October 14, 1983 World Food Day, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation An adequate, wholesome food supply is essential to the physical and eco- nomic well-being of every individual and every nation. Countries through- out the world are dedicated to eliminating poverty-related hunger to the ful- lest extent possible. Although this objective is widely acknowledged, the re- sources and policies needed to achieve that object vary widely from coun- try to country. This Nation is richly endowed with natural resources. Through the genera- tions, our people have developed the knowledge, the technology, the poli- cies, and the economic system to transform our endowment into agricultur- al abundance. Not all nations are similarly endowed. Hunger persists throughout the world. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations estimates that as many as 500 million people suffer from poverty- related malnutrition, especially in lesser developed countries.

 PROCLAMATION 5119—OCT. 17, 1983 97 STAT. 1639 The United States has a long tradition of sharing its agricultural abundance with those in need. We are strongly committed to the constitution of the Food and Agriculture Organization, which calls upon member nations to "raise the levels of nutrition and standards of living of the peoples under their respective jurisdiction" and to contribute to "expanding the world economy and ensuring humanity's freedom from hunger." We have sought, and will continue to strive, to improve the economies and food production abilities of those countries where the need is greatest. To this end, the United States has provided needy nations more than $40 billion of assistance under the Food for Peace Program since 1954. This year alone our food aid activities are assisting 70 countries. We are training an average of more than 2,000 agriculturalists per year from developing countries, and we are providing technical assistance to 50 nations in Asia, Africa, and Latin America to help develop their food research and produc- tion capabilities. In addition, we actively encourage American businesses to invest in projects that help build the agricultural economies of developing countries. The people of the United States, as well as the people of other countries that have joined in the battle against hunger, can justifiably share a sense of accomplishment in the fact that food production per person has in- creased 21 percent in lesser developed countries since 1954. The concern of the international community with the problem of poverty-related malnutri- tion is reflected in the response to World Food Day. We particularly salute the Food and Agriculture Organization which, on World Food Day this year, celebrates 30 years of dedication to the elimination of hunger and malnutrition. In recognition of one of the key recommendations of the 1980 report of the Presidential Commission on World Hunger, that called for efforts to be taken to increase public awareness of the world hunger problem, the Con- gress of the United States, by Senate Joint Resolution 81, has designated Ante, p. 747. October 16, 1983, as "World Food Day" and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 16, 1983, as World Food Day and call upon the people of the United States to observe that day with appropri- ate activities to explore ways in which our Nation can further contribute to the elimination of hunger in the world. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of Oc- tober, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.

Although short when measured against today's trans-meridian flights, its significance was great because it estab- lished the foundation for future successes in aviation which continue to enrich the quality of our lives today. This year we also celebrate the bicentennial of man's first flight. Two hun- dred years ago, on August 27, 1783, the Montgolfier Brothers of France first launched a manned hot air balloon into the atmosphere. Shortly thereafter, in a balloon constructed by an American lawyer, Peter Carnes, Esq., the first American ventured aloft in a tethered balloon in Baltimore. This year also marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the signing of the Fed- 49 USC app. 1301 eral Aviation Act of 1958. This legislation created the Federal Aviation Ad- ^°*®- ministration, which has played a central role in making civil air carriage ten times safer than it was in 1958, thus helping to advance the progress of civil aviation and to fulfill the Wright Brothers' dreams of the future role aviation would have in our world. To commemorate the historic achievement of the Wright Brothers, the Con- gress, by 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 Broth- ers Day and requested the President to issue a proclamation annually invit- ing the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of this Nation and their local and national governmental officials to observe Wright Brothers Day, De- cember 17, 1983, with appropriate ceremonies and activities, both to recall the accomplishments and to stimulate the development of aviation in this country and throughout the world. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 17th day of Oct., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.

In every artistic discipline, great American artists and institutions have established ever-rising stand- ards of achievement to challenge and inspire successive generations. No single institution embodies this tradition of sustained artistic achieve- ment more fully than the Metropolitan Opera, which is celebrating 100 years of extraordinary contributions to the culture of America. Legendary performances of music theater masterpieces have filled the Metropolitan Opera House in New York, halls across the country during the Company's annual tours, and millions of American homes through live radio and televi- sion broadcasts which have become part of our national tradition.

In recognition of the Metropolitan Opera's extraordinary achievements and commitment to excellence, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 128, Ante, p. 847. has authorized and requested the President to designate October 22, 1983, the one hundredth anniversary of its first performance, as "Metropolitan Opera Day" throughout the United States. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate October 22, 1983, as Metropolitan Opera Day and call upon all Federal, State and local government agencies, inter- ested groups and organizations, and the people of the United States to ob- serve that day by engaging in appropriate programs and activities to show their support of America's rich heritage in music theater and one of its pre- mier performing institutions.

 97 STAT. 1642 PROCLAMATION 5122—OCT. 26, 1983 Proclamation 5122 of October 26, 1983 National Poison Prevention Week, 1984 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Childhood poisonings continue to pose a major public health problem in the United States. Each year, more than 100,000 children are treated in hospital emergency rooms because they accidentally ingested chemical household products. For the past 23 years, the Poison Prevention Week Council has coordinated a network of organizations which seek to raise public awareness of the im- portance of preventing childhood poisonings. Working together as sponsors of National Poison Prevention Week are national medical, pharmacy, nurs- ing, dental, and hospital associations; health and safety groups; organiza- tions representing manufacturers, packagers, and distributors of consumer products, including medicines; the media; and government agencies. Most of these groups have State and local chapters and affiliates that, along with community organizations, are the backbone of what has become a success- ful nationwide poison prevention program. In recent years, the number of poisonings among children has fallen dra- matically for those substances that have been required to be packaged in child-resistant closures. However, despite these successes, many childhood poisonings continue to occur. Some adults purchase regulated products in conventional rather than child-resistant packaging or, alternatively, defeat the child-resistant packaging. In addition, adults who are using potentially poisonous products sometimes are distracted for a moment by a telephone call, a doorbell, or food cooking on the stove. These seemingly innocuous distractions can have disastrous consequences if a child ingests the poison- ous product. The theme of National Poison Prevention Week is "Children Act Fast... So Do Poisons," and this theme emphasizes how important it is that adults never leave potential poisons unattended. To assist in encouraging the American people to learn of the dangers of ac- cidental poisoning and to take appropriate preventive measures, the Con- 36 USC 165. gress, by a joint resolution approved September 26, 1961 (75 Stat. 681], re- quested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating the third week in March as National Poison Prevention Week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning March 18, 1984, as Na- tional Poison Prevention Week.

 PROCLAMATION 5123—NOV. 1, 1983 97 STAT. 1643 Proclamation 5123 of November 1, 1983 National Drug Abuse Education Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Drug abuse in the United States continues to be a major threat to the future of our Nation. Millions of our citizens are risking their health and their future by abusing drugs. The effects are clearly demonstrated by the tragic reports in daily news accounts of innocent people killed by drunk drivers, death by overdose, drug-related murders, drug smuggling, and other public outrages. Less obvious, but more pervasive, are the individual tragedies which destroy a person or family and which may cause loss of a job, inter- ruption of schooling, and a reduction in our Nation's productivity. Federal, State, and local governments have established programs to reduce the supply of illegal drugs. Similarly, government has encouraged the estab- lishment of facilities for providing medical treatment for those suffering from this problem and sponsored extensive research on the effects of drug use. However, government cannot hope to solve the problems of drug abuse without the help of every American. Drug abuse is a national problem and a target of a nationwide program. All across America, our citizens, community organizations, and the private sector have recognized that they can make a difference in the battle against this serious concern. Expanded drug abuse awareness efforts, the banding together of concerned parents, and the involvement of many community groups are lowering the rate of drug abuse which prevailed during the Sev- enties. There has been increasing attention focused on the potential of mass communications to discourage drug abuse. Numerous public education efforts are epitomized in the excellent Chemical People Project which will be presented on public broadcasting stations across the United States on November 2 and 9, 1983. The Chemical People Project is an example of how a grassroots approach to organizing town meetings and community efforts can break through the "wall of denial" common to alcohol and drug abuse and can stimulate constructive action where it counts—in ourselves. We must continue to encourage and support efforts to educate our citizens to the health and societal consequences of drug abuse. Such efforts are an essential foundation for a successful nation- al program to reduce and prevent drug abuse in our country. In order to draw attention to the seriousness of the drug abuse problem and to encourage the education of parents and children in the home, classroom, and community to the impact of illegal drug abuse, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 57, has designated the week of November 2 through No- Ante, p. 915. vember 9, 1983, as National Drug Abuse Education Week.

I call on all Americans to join the battle against drug abuse to protect our children so that we ensure a healthy and productive generation of Americans as our contribution to the future. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of No- vember, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Editorial Note: For the President's remarks of Nov. 1, 1983, on signing Proclamation 5123, see the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents [vol. 19, p. 1509]. Proclamation 5124 of November 3, 1983 National Diabetes Month, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that now threatens the lives of ap- proximately 11 million Americans. Although careful treatment can control many of the short-term metabolic effects of diabetes, the disease is also as- sociated with serious long-term complications that affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels of the heart, brain, and extremities. In addition to its devastating toll in terms of human suffering, the cost of medical care for diabetic patients and associated losses due to disability and premature mortality now exceed $10 billion annually in the United States alone. Fortunately, the outlook for clinical advances related to the diagnosis, treat- ment, cure, and, ultimately, the prevention of diabetes and its complications has never been as promising as it is today. Recent research advances have included the synthetic production of purified human insulin to ensure ade- quate supplies of this essential hormone, the development of improved methods for insulin administration, new technologies for monitoring critical blood sugar levels, new therapies for the treatment of diabetes-related kidney, eye, and cardiovascular diseases, and improved clinical capabilities for reducing the increased perinatal morbidity and mortality associated with diabetic pregnancies. In addition, remarkable advances have also been made in developing pro- cedures that permit the successful transplantation of insulin-producing cells into diabetic animals without the need for chronic suppression of the immune system. As these and related studies are extended to humans, they may lead directly to the development of a cure for some of the most serious types of diabetes and to a means to prevent, arrest, or reverse the long- term complications of this disease. Recent advances in basic biomedical research are providing new insights into the multiple causes of diabetes. We anticipate that these studies will help to identify individuals at risk for developing diabetes so that we may ultimately develop approaches that will prevent the disease and its compli- cations altogether. Basic and clinical research advances have significantly reduced diabetes-related morbidity and mortality and have measurably im-

 PROCLAMATION 5125—NOV. 4, 1983 97 STAT. 1645 proved the quality of life for people with diabetes. Nevertheless, much re- mains to be done before the cure and prevention of diabetes and its compli- cations become a reality. Toward this goal, the Federal government, in co- operation with the private sector, will continue in the same determined spirit to lead the way toward eliminating diabetes as a major public health problem both for current and future generations. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, in accordance with Senate Joint Resolution 121, do hereby pro- Ante, p. 918. claim the month of November, 1983, as National Diabetes Month, and I call upon all government agencies and the people of the United States to ob- serve this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 3rd day of No- vember, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5125 of November 4, 1983 National Reye's Syndrome Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Reye's Syndrome is a serious illness that may attack the brain and liver of a child recovering from influenza, chicken pox, or some other viral infec- tion. The cause of this disease—which affects an estimated 600 to 1,200 children in the United States each year—is unknown. The first signs of Reye's Syndrome in a child are repeated vomiting, fatigue, and general irritation. The disease may progress to a life-threatening stage. If early symptoms are recognized and treated promptly, however, it is less likely that the disease will cause dangerous brain swelling, coma, or death. New treatments are being developed to help victims of Reye's Syndrome recover. This improved outlook is a direct result of scientific research car- ried out by public and private investigators and physicians, many of whom are supported by the American Reye's Syndrome Associations, the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation (Ohio), the National Reye's Syndrome Foun- dation (Michigan), and the United States Public Health Service. Within the Public Health Service, the Centers for Disease Control, the Food and Drug Administration and the National Institutes of Health are carrying out re- search projects and constant surveillance of cases. Much still remains to be learned about Reye's Syndrome. Coordinated re- search is needed to find better ways to treat this disorder and ultimately to prevent it. Public education is also essential, because parents and physi- cians can help to protect the Nation's children from its lethal effects if they learn to recognize this disease in its earliest stages. To enhance the public's awareness of the gravity of Reye's Syndrome, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 34, has designated the week of No- Ante, p. 291. vember 7 through November 13, 1983, as "National Reye's Syndrome Week" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that week.

 97 STAT. 1646 PROCLAMATION 5126—NOV. 4, 1983 NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning November 7, 1983, as National Reye's Syndrome Week, and I call upon the people of the United States to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5126 of November 4, 1983 National Family Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The family and family life are central to our American heritage. Family bonds give us an anchor in the past, as well as hope for the future. It is within the family that tradition is created, individuals grow, and faith is nurtured. Through family living, we discover who we are, how to interact with our fellowman, and the values that make a free society possible. Families perform the daily tasks that sustain and renew us, including rais- ing children and caring for the elderly. Families not only provide better health but also serve the special needs of the handicapped. In particular, those who have opened their homes through adoption and foster care de- serve special thanks for offering the gift of family life to our Nation's less fortunate children. Today, amid new pressures and needs, America is relearning the impor- tance of its families. For instance, success in the national fight against drug and alcohol abuse must begin with a strong and united family. We are newly aware that the family cannot be taken for granted, and that the sup- port of a family can never truly be replicated. In recognition of the importance of the family as an essential unit of our Ante, p. 956. free and orderly society, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 45, has authorized and requested the President to designate the week beginning on November 20, 1983, as "National Family Week." NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of November 20 through Novem- ber 26, 1983, as National Family Week. I applaud the men and women who uphold our families in many ways, as parents, grandparents, as the daugh- ters and sons of older Americans. I invite the Governors of the several States, the chief officials of local gov- ernments and all our citizens to observe this week with appropriate cere- monies and activities. During a week in which we will also observe Thanksgiving Day, I especially invite all Americans to give thanks for the family relationships with which we have been blessed. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 4th day of No- vember, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.

 PROCLAMATION 5127—NOV. 8, 1983 97 STAT. 1647 Proclamation 5127 of November 8, 1983 National Christmas Seal Month, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Chronic diseases of the lung afflict well over 17 million Americans, cause more than 200,000 deaths annually, and cost the Nation more than $29.4 bil- lion in lost wages and medical expenses plus untold dollars in lost produc- tivity. Chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases have been among the fastest rising causes of death. Almost seven million Americans, including over two mil- lion children, suffer from asthma. Two and one-half million Americans have emphysema, while almost eight million suffer from chronic bronchitis. Fur- thermore, it is expected that deaths from lung cancer will surpass breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths among American women during this decade. Leading the fight in the voluntary sector to prevent illness, disability, and death from lung disease is the American Lung Association—the Christmas Seal people—a nonprofit public health organization supported by individual contributions to Christmas Seals and other donations. The Nation's first national voluntary public health organization, the Associ- ation was founded in 1904 to combat tuberculosis. Since 1907, Christmas Seals have been used to raise funds through private contributions to help educate Americans about this disease. In its early years, the National Tu- berculosis Association pioneered school programs aimed at motivating young people to establish healthful living patterns. That tradition remains strong, as the American Lung Association continues to give high priority to its health education activities in the schools. In addition, the American Lung Association, through its community lung As- sociations, helps educate the public, patients and their famihes about lung diseases; sponsors community action programs for good lung health; under- writes medical research; supports education for physicians and other health care workers; and wages vigorous campaigns against cigarette smoking and air pollution. The primary source of funding for more than 70 years has been Christmas Seals. This year, Christmas Seals will be in 60 miliion homes. In recognition of the American Lung Association's continuing efforts to eliminate all chronic diseases of the lung, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 188, has designated the month of November 1983 as "National Ante, p. 985. Christmas Seal Month" and has requested the President to issue a procla- mation in observance of that month. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 1983 as National Christmas Seal Month, and I call upon all Government agencies and the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate activities and by sup- porting the Christmas Seal program. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.
