By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Of the more than 400,000 Jews whom the Nazis had previously walled into the Warsaw Ghetto, only about 70,000 remained in April of 1943. With deadly efficiency, most of the other inhabitants had been transported by the Nazis to concentration camps and had there been exterminated. The surviving Jews, suffering from malnutrition and disease, with pitifully few weapons and virtually no hope of assistance from any source, determined to sell their lives as dearly as possible. They engaged the Nazis in battle. The result was known by the Jews to be foredoomed. Yet, though they lacked both military resources and a military tradition, they were able to conduct their struggle against the overwhelming forces of the Nazi occupiers for more than three weeks, thereby providing a chapter in the annals of human heroism, an inspiration to the peace-loving people of the world and a warning to would-be oppressors which will long be remembered. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOHN F. KENNEDY, President of the United States of America, in consonance with the joint resolution of Congress approved August 28, 1962 (76 Stat. 407), do hereby invite the people of the United States to observe the twentieth anniversary

36 USC 162.

Proclamation

Dedication, devotion, and loyalty to our country and to the free democratic precepts upon which it was founded has always been a cherished tradition with our people—from our Founding Fathers to our servicemen now serving in the far-flung corners of the world. Understandably, our people avoid ostentatious displays of patriotic fervor. Nevertheless, in these trying times, when international forces are attempting to undermine and destroy our form of free government and our way of life, it is entirely fitting and proper and in the national interest to set aside a special day each year on which to express our unceasing devotion and loyalty to this Nation. To this end, the Congress, by a joint resolution of July 18, 1958 (72 Stat. 369), has designated May 1 of each year as Loyalty Day and has requested the President to issue a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOHN F. KENNEDY, President of the United States of America do hereby call upon the people of the United States, and upon all patriotic, civic, and educational organizations to observe Wednesday, May 1, 1963, as Loyalty Day, in schools and other suitable places with appropriate ceremonies in which all of our people may join in a reaffirmation of their loyalty to the United States of America. I also call upon appropriate officials of the Government to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on that day as a manifestation of our loyalty to the Nation which that flag symbolizes. I N W I T N E S S WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

Proclamation 3546 AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK, 1963 By the President of fhe United States of America A Proclamation

WHEREAS the concept of free, universal education for all young people was, for the first time in the history of the world, translated into reality in this country, and this great advance has contributed immeasurably to the strength and prosperity achieved through American democratic principles; and WHEREAS our future progress in promoting peace and good will in the world as well as our future domestic progress in the constantly widening frontiers of medicine, science and the social sciences, industry, and the arts depend upon the fullest possible educational opportunity for all citizens; and WHEREAS the ability of our people to promote the domestic tranquility, as essential today as when our Nation was founded, depends in lar^e measure upon their awareness of historical forces and future directions which education imparts; and WHEREAS our national objectives require that each American, whether young or adult, have an opportunity to develop his highest potential for intellectual attainment and for full vocational or professional training to the extent his capabilities permit; and WHEREAS our educational system today is neither adequately adjusted nor adequately financed to meet present-day needs and thus fails to provide full educational opportunities for all citizens; and WHEREAS the urgency and magnitude of the educational task before us make it imperative that every citizen actively support, and participate in, the accomplishment of that task: NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOHN F.

NATIONAL FARM-CITY WEEK, 1963 gy j ^ g President of the United States of America A Proclamation

WHEREAS technology and science on the farm and in the marketing of farm products have made it possible for only eight percent of our civilian labor force to produce a superabundance of food and fiber; and WHEREAS, because fewer farm workers and fewer acres are required to feed and clothe a greatly increased population and to meet all export and foreign aid requirements, new economic opportunities are urgently needed for our youth in rural areas; and WHEREAS our increasingly urban society urgently needs open space and outdoor recreation; and WHEREAS these needs of all citizens can be more fully met through new and multiple uses of land not required for crop production and through wise use of all our soil, water, and forest resources; and WHEREAS the revitalization of rural areas and the development of rural resources for the benefit of all citizens are dependent in large part on a healthy rate of national economic growth and a national understanding of the ties that bind urban and rural America: NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOHN F. KENNEDY, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of November 22 through November 28, 1963, as National Farm-City Week; and I call upon our citizens throughout the Nation to participate fully in the observance of that week. I request that the leaders of labor unions, civic associations, business groups, and women's clubs, and all consumers join in this observance, along with farm and other rural people, as evidence of the interdependence and the strong ties that bind rural and urban citizens. I urge the Department of Agriculture, the land-grant colleges and universities, the cooperative extension services, and all appropriate officials of the Government to initiate, and to cooperate with national. State, and local organizations in preparing and carrying out, programs for the appropriate observance of National Farm-City Week, including public meetings and discussions, exhibits, and press, radio, and television features, with special emphasis on the interdependence of rural and urban families and the opportunities accruing to all citizens through economic development of rural areas, including new and expanded outdoor recreation enterprises on farms, in small watersheds, and on privately owned forest lands. I further urge that, whenever possible, urban and rural people exchange visits so that each will better understand the other. I N W I T N E S S WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.
