Proclamation 3769 SAVE YOUR VISION WEEK, 1967 March 4, 1967

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

36 USC 169a.

More than one million Americans cannot read a newspaper, not because they are illiterate, but because they cannot see well enough— even with glasses. One of every fifty Americans is blind or has only partial vision. Every fourth schoolchild requires eye care. Every third serviceman needs glasses. Americans fear blindness more than any affliction except cancer. And every year 32,000 Americans go blind. Aid to the blind costs $1 billion a year, aside from the economic loss suffered by those who must try to find their way through lives of perpetual darkness. Yet there is hope. Blindness can be prevented. Research and better means of applying the knowledge of the laboratories to the lives of our people can materially lessen the scourge of blindness. Every American should cherish his God-given gift of sight, protect and care for his eyes, and support the research, diagnosis, and treatment that can save vision. I call upon all media of communications to carry a new message of hope to the blind. I call upon doctors, and private and public agencies, to press on with their work of saving, for us and for our children, the incomparable blessing of sight. To encourage greater awareness and action, the Congress by a joint resolution approved December 30, 1963 (77 Stat. 629), requested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating the first week in March of each year as Save Your Vision Week: NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B.

March 10, 1967

A Proclamation

May 1st is the tenth anniversary of Law Day, U.S.A. The theme of Law Day, 1967 is, in the words of Theodore Roosevelt: "No man is above the law and no man is below it." Again we remind ourselves that law, and respect for law, is central to the idea of American democracy. Free government could not exist, said Justice Taney, without ready obedience to the law. Thus all who cherish freedom should also cherish law. Liberty and law abide together. I n that bond is the foundation of our liberties. I ask every American to take the law into his heart—not into his hands. I ask not blind obedience, but enlightened obedience. I ask patience too, for the law, like our times, will and must change. But America's fidelity to law must be eternal. I ask every American to respect the law, and to respect also the men who are pledged to its enforcement. And of those who wear the badge, I ask an equal respect both for the law and for the rights of the people they are sworn to protect. As your President, I can ask no less than the young lawyer Lincoln in 1838: "Let every American, every lover of liberty.... remember that to violate the law is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own and his children's liberty. "Let reverence for the laws.... be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice....

WORLD TRADE WEEK, 1967 gy j ^ g President of the United States of America A Proclamation

World trade joins the United States with other nations in a creative partnership that supports the growth of our free enterprise economy and advances the well-being of all our citizens. Last year, total trade among the non-communist countries amounted to about $180 billion. Since 1960, this trade has grown by more than $67 billion, or an annual rate of more than 8 percent. Trade among the nations of the free world should reach the astounding annual rate of $200 billion in the year ahead. The exchange of goods and services builds a foundation for mutual trust among nations. I t sustains our hopes for the attainment of a better world, in which all peoples may live in peace. Expanding trade with nations around the world accelerates the pace of economic progress at home and abroad.

—It enlarges the opportunities for United States businessmen to sell more products and services in world markets. Since 1960, U.S. exports of merchandise have risen by 50 percent. I n 1966, they exceeded $29 billion, close to $3 billion more than the year before. —It provides employment for more American workers. About three and a half million Americans are engaged, directly or indirectly, in the production, transport and marketing of our exports. The growth of this trade will create jobs for many more workers in both rural and urban areas throughout the United States. —It widens the range of materials and consumer goods available at competitive prices in the domestic marketplace. —It helps the developing countries make fuller use of their energies and resources. —It encourages the international exchange of ideas, knowledge, and experience. Vigorous expansion of our export volume is essential. We have succeeded in reducing the deficit in our balance of payments, but we must make still further improvement. The United States will continue to support the reciprocal reduction of trade barriers to stimulate the flow of international commerce. To this purpose, an early and successful completion of the Kennedy Round of trade negotiations is especially important. There are only a few weeks remaining; by April 30, major issues must be settled and a balance of concessions achieved. The final agreement must be signed by June 30. An historic opportunity to broaden vastly the world's trade horizons is within reach. This opportunity must not be lost. We are negotiating with other nations on the improvement of the international monetary system. International agreement that will assure an adequate growth of world reserves is a key to the future expansion of world trade. We believe that trade also offers a means of achieving fruitful cooperation with the Soviet Union and other Eastern European nations. I n 1966, U.S. exports to Eastern Europe totalled only $200 million while other non-communist countries sold Eastern Europe goods worth over $6 billion. U.S. ratification of a consular agreement with the U.S.S.R., our various trade missions to Eastern Europe, and our participation in the 1967 food processing fair in Moscow illustrate our effort to build bridges through trade. We must continue to pursue lasting peace by seeking out every possible course to healthy economic and cultural relations with these countries. The principal objective of our foreign trade policy is to promote the increase of peaceful, profitable commerce among our Nation and others. World Trade Week reaffirms and supports this objective. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 21, 1967, as World Trade Week; and I request the appropriate Federal, State, and local officials to cooperate in the observance of that week. I also urge business, labor, agricultural, educational, professional, and civic groups, as well as the people of the United States generally, to observe World Trade Week with gatherings, discussions, exhibits, ceremonies, and other appropriate activities designed to promote continuing awareness of the importance of world trade to our economy and our relations with other nations.

Proclamation 3772 March 24, 1967

YOUTH TEMPERANCE EDUCATION WEEK gy j ^ ^ President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The future of this nation, and perhaps of the world, rests on the integrity and commitment of young Americans who make u p almost half of our population. If we neglect the formation of their character, we betray a human trust that transcends the interest of any individual. Out of a false sophistication, some find it embarrassing to speak of the simple virtues of character that are the mainstays of any great nation or civilization—of duty, sacrifice, fidelity, of sound minds in healthy bodies, of a sense of human brotherhood, love of country, sanctity of the home, purity of ideals. Yet on these virtues the peace, prosperity, and quality of our society depend. The condition of our nation today is historically unique. Never has any society come so close to defeating the ancient enemies of poverty, ignorance and ill health. Our social problems loom large in our consciousness, but in the perspective of history, ours is an unprecedented affluence—both in its extent and in its distribution. And that affluence represents both opportunity and temptation. If it lulls us into complacency, if it dims our moral perception, if it tranquilizes our concern for the suffering of the less fortunate, if it encourages self-indulgence and moral indolence, then it is no blessing but a curse. If oiir children are to be enriched and not despoiled by the abundance of our material life, we must search our own hearts and minds, our own values and priorities, to be sure that moral and spiritual qualities are not submerged or blunted in the selfish quest for personal security, comfort and luxury. We must accept material abundance gratefully, as a condition which liberates our spirits and frees our minds for the great and beneficent conquests of human sorrow, suffering and weakness. Human experience illustrates that liberty and discipline are not in opposition; that, in fact, liberty finds its roots in discipline. For the wider goals, the larger dreams, the nobler hopes belong to those who have learned to discipline their impulses and desires, to direct them toward the constructive purpose and the creative challenge.

Our society has made a commitment to enrich and improve the lives of the senior citizens among us. A great part of that commitment to the 19 million Americans who are 65 or over has been advanced during this Administration. Through Medicare, the often crushing burden of hospital and doctor bills has been eased. The Older Americans Act, with its emphasis on community services, gives direction and meaning to lives that might have been spent out in frustration and purposelessness. Other programs provide assistance to senior citizens in housing and nursing care, public welfare, and special training programs. Recommendations now before the Congress will make the older years of life even more productive and more comfortable by: —Increasing the benefits under Social Security;

—Raising the level of public assistance for those who must depend on such welfare for the essentials; —Extending the benefits of Medicare to more people, and expanding its services; —Increasing the educational, recreational and health services under the Older Americans Act; —Eliminating income tax discrimination against those over 65 who continue to work; —Prohibiting discrimination because of age in employment. The Nation needs these programs in order to move closer to realizing the goals which we have set out as the objectives in our Bill of Rights for Older Americans—an adequate income, a decent home, and a meaningful retirement. But to make good fully on its commitment, the Nation needs more than legislation. There must be an awareness in the heart of every citizen of the duty we all share in this abundant land to the elders whose lives have contributed to the development of the society we enjoy. There must be a general awareness that it is within the power of us all to discharge that duty—to bring light to the lives of those who are lonely or in despair, better care to those who are ill or disabled, greater benefits to those who are impoverished. The greater this awareness is, the greater will be our hope of bringing to all older Americans the opportunity to live full and rewarding lives in communities throughout the Nation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the month of May 1967 as Senior Citizens Month. I call upon all Federal, State and local governments, in partnership with private and voluntary organizations, to join in community effort to give meaning to the theme of this special month: M E E T I N G THE CHALLENGE OF THE LATER YEARS. Let each citizen help, in whatever way he can, to make this month memorable by working to provide within each community those benefits and opportunities which will add satisfaction and dignity to the ] ives of older Americans.

Proclamation 3774 PAN AMERICAN DAY AND PAN AMERICAN WEEK, 1967 By the President of the United States of America

March 31, 1967

A Proclamation

There is special meaning this year in the hemispheric tradition of P a n American Day. On April twelfth, for the first time in a decade and the second time in history, the Presidents and Heads of Government of the American nations will meet to fortify the foundation of the house of the Americas. Seventy-seven years ago we first joined our hearts and hands as brothers in a hopeful hemisphere. We pledged a common pledge— we dreamed a common dream. We have since translated that pledge into progress. And we have founded the Organization of American States as a firm framework for the fulfillment of that dream. We have recently strengthened that Organization by amending its Charter to meet the challenge that our changing times demand. We have extended our unique experiment in international living by welcoming into our membership the new nation of Trinidad and Tobago. We have enhanced the meaning of that experiment by forging within it an Alliance for Progress in which our goals for the good life are matched only by our desire to achieve them. And the impressive accomplishments of these last six years trace that desire's growing satisfaction. When the Alliance was formed in 1961, it was estimated that our Latin American neighbors could supply about 80% of the capital required. I n fact, they have done better than this. By the end of this year, the gross investment in Latin America will have totaled over $100 billion—and 95% of it will have been from domestic sources. This ability of our neighbors to save and invest in their own future is a most striking indication that Latin America can, with relatively modest external help, mobilize the resources needed for its own development—and thus strengthen the foundations of the house we share in this hemisphere. The cooperative spirit of the Alliance is bringing new-found confidence and hope into this house. —Per capita growth rates show that more and more countries are breaking the economic stagnation of earlier years. —Men, women and children are alive today who would otherwise have died. In ten countries, deaths caused by malaria dropped from 10,810 to 2,280 in three years' time. Smallpox cases declined almost as sharply. And new health centers and hospitals are growing everywhere. —Men whose fathers for generations toiled on land owned by others are now working it as their own. With U.S. assistance, 1.1 million acres have been irrigated and 106,000 acres reclaimed. 15,000 miles of road have been built or improved, many of them farm-to-market access roads. —For tens of thousands of families, the most fundamental conditions of life are improving. 350,000 housing units have been.

or are now being, constructed. New and modernized water supply systems have been built to benefit some 20 million people. So as we assemble under the banner of the Alliance for Progress, we are cheered by success and encouraged in the task that lies ahead. With the confidence born of achievement, we know that we can prepare a better world for the new generation of Americans who will come after us. We look to the 60% of Latin America's 245 million people who are now under the age of 25, and we know that the task of meeting their aspirations is great. But we also know that we have forged the tools to do the task. And there is promise in what we see. The sustaining arm of education is reaching out to more and more of this strategic 60% of Latin Americans. —Since the Alliance was formed, school enrollments have increased at an average annual rate of over 6%. This rate represents more than twice the rate of increase in the total population. —For each 1,000 inhabitants, there were 124 students enrolled in schools in 1960, 170 in 1965, and 174 in 1966. —28,000 new classrooms have been built. —160,000 teachers have been trained or given additional training. —More than 14 million textbooks have been distributed. —13 million school children and 3 million pre-schoolers participate in school lunch programs. And more than this, what statistics cannot adequately relay is the emergence of a generation of vigorous, confident and responsible leaders throughout Latin America—leaders who are ready to help their countries help themselves. These leaders are beginning to include more and more women doers in their ranks. And since women comprise over half the population of Latin America, there is new potential in this leadership. The successes scored by the Alliance have been aided by the United States—but they have been realized by the cooperative spirit that resides in the commitment and dedication of the Latin American nations themselves. Their unrelenting perseverance has been a keystone in the firm foundation of our house of hemispheric progress. So as together we seek to strengthen—we seek a realistic goal. As together we build to better—we build on solid ground. Bound by geography, born of a common revolutionary heritage, nurtured by common ideals, committed to the dignity of man, and sustained by the youth and vigor that have been our common strength, we will project our traditions into a promising future—and we will prevail. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Friday, April 14, 1967, as Pan American Day, and the week beginning April 9 and ending April 15 as P a n American Week; and I call upon the Governors of the fifty States of the Union, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the officials of all other areas under the flag of the United States to issue similar proclamations.

Proclamation 3775 LOYALTY DAY, 1967 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

May 1st, in some parts of the world, is marked by demonstrations in support of totalitarian party dictatorships. Since 1959, we in the United States have celebrated it as "Loyalty Day," a time when we are asked to recall the ideals which have nourished our free society. The contrast between these two types of celebration is striking. We are not demanding unthinking fealty to a party or a doctrine. On the contrary, allegiance to American ideals demands commitment to a ceaseless search for new routes to freedom, justice and equality. Our flag then is not just a symbol of our nationhood. I t signifies more: —A profound dedication to a community where the rights of minorities are respected as fully as the rights of the majority, where freedom and order are found in harmonious equilibrium. The patriot leader John Adams thus felt obliged to defend the British officer accused of instigating the "Boston Massacre." And later noted in his diary that it was his proudest contribution to the tradition of freedom. Similarly, Abraham Lincoln in 1838 called on "every American, every lover of liberty" to swear "never to violate the laws of the country" or to "tolerate their violation by others" through "mob law." To an American, then, loyalty is not automatic acceptance of authority but consecration to the principles of a free society. I t imposes restraints on the majority and on minorities alike. The majority must have the right to act, but its actions must follow the course of due process. Minorities must retain the right to dissent, but should never confuse the right to be heard with the right to determine policy, should never

assert the undemocratic and arrogant claim to speak for the society as a whole. I n 1967, Loyalty Day has a special meaning. F a r away in Vietnam, our young men are demonstrating by their bravery, and commitment to the freedom of others, the ultimate obligations loyalty can impose. Loyalty Day 1967 thus becomes an opportunity for the vast majority in America—while respecting the right of dissent—to affirm their conviction that freedom is indivisible, their realization that the cruel burden of war must be carried, and their heartfelt gratitude to those who are risking their lives in harsh witness to our ideals. If we are to be worthy of their sacrifice, it is vital that we demonstrate our active loyalty to the cause for which they fight. The badge of American loyalty should be more than a uniform. Enlightened loyalty requires that each citizen take the trouble to learn about, to discuss, to think through, the crucial issues of our time. Enlightened loyalty demands a commitment by the citizen to the daily life of his society. He must constantly strive to bring American practice into accord with American precepts.

36 USC 162.

Enlightened loyalty obligates every individual to act and speak in behalf of his beliefs, so the world will not mistake the clamor of dissenting activists for the true voice of the nation. I n recognition of these precepts, the Congress by a joint resolution of July 18^ 1958 (72 Stat. 369), designated May 1 of each year as Loyalty Day and requested the President to issue a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe each such day with appropriate ceremonies. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do call upon the people of the United States, and upon all patriotic, civic, and educational organizations, to observe Monday, May 1, 1967, as Loyalty Day, with appropriate ceremonies in which all of us may join in a reaffirmation of our loyalty to the United States of America. I Iso 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.

Ours is an age of unprecedented progress in the field of medical research. Yet cancer continues to plague our people.

We have taken giant steps toward defeating i t: today more people are being cured of cancer than ever before, and our understanding of its causes and characteristics is growing constantly. But the incidence of cancer is still increasing more rapidly than our progress in curing it. W e must intensify our research efforts, and we are: —The National Cancer Institute of the United States Public Health Service, with a budget of more than $170 million this year, is striving to discover new facts about the causes and cures of cancer. —Regional medical programs, under the Heart Disease, Cancer and Stroke Amendments of 1965, will bring the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment to people throughout the Nation. —Medicare and other programs are helping to assure Americans of the care they need in the fight against cancer and other diseases. — I have recently directed the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare to appoint a lung cancer task force, to supplement the work of task forces on leukemia, cancer chemotherapy, uterine cancer, solid tumor and breast cancer. These efforts to combat cancer require the continuing cooperation of scientists, physicians, health agencies, and the public. To impress upon our people the necessity for such cooperation, the Congress by a joint resolution of March 28, 1938 (52 Stat. 148), requested the President to issue annually a proclamation setting aside the month of April as Cancer Control Month. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B.

I also ask the medical and allied health professions, the communication industries, and all other interested persons and groups to unite during the appointed month in public reaffirmation of this Nation's efforts to control cancer.

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Ante, p. 4.

In the United States today, more than three million children live as captives of asthma. I t affects two million adult Americans. Each year this disease takes 5,000 lives, and many thousands more suffer debilitating effects at home and on the job. The asthma victim lives under the constant threat of attack by the disease. I t can come from his food, the air he breathes, even from emotional reactions to his environment. I n the throes of such an attack, he must have help. Medical research is valiantly seeking the cause and cure of asthma. The Children's Asthma Kesearch Institute and Hospital at Denver, Colorado has been in the vanguard of these efforts.

Proclamation 3778 STEELMARK MONTH By the President of the United States of America

Apni s, 1967

A Proclamation

Steel is the core of industrial America. I t has helped to make American productivity and technology the wonder of the world. This vital product which we produce in unmatched abundance is basic to our economy and essential to our security. I t supports our buildings, spans our rivers, arms our fighting men. I t is fundamental to thousands of products which are part of the everyday life of every citizen of this Nation. I t will be increasingly important to us in the years that lie ahead. Research continues to uncover new uses for this durable and versatile product to satisfy exacting military and civilian requirements. Moreover, the steel industry makes its own vital contribution to the American economy with its demand for raw materials, equipment, and the services of other industries. The steel industry has created a distinctive symbol for its products— the "steelmark." I t is used to identify products made of steel and to increase public awareness of the importance of steel to our national life. By a joint resolution approved November 2, 1966, the Congress designated the month of May of each year as Steelmark Month and requested the President to issue a proclamation for the observance of such a month. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon all the people of the United States to observe the month of May in this and each succeeding year as Steelmark Month with appropriate proceedings and ceremonies. 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.

Acting Secretary of State. Proclamation 3780 DISCOVER AMERICA PLANNING WEEK By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The discovery of America began many centuries ago, but it is not yet ended. I t is a continuing experience. Each year, more and more Americans—and friends from other lands—are discovering anew our Nation's bountiful store of natural and cultural treasure. America is blessed with a wealth of scenic beauty of widely varied kinds. I t is rich in historical, cultural, educational, and technological attractions. I t is abundant in recreational opportunities and facilities. Its people are hospitable. As the summer of 1967 approaches, more travelers than ever before are preparing for that experience of discovery. I t is estimated that 140 million United States citizens will journey this year to some part of our broad and diverse Nation for pleasure. I n addition, some 9 million visitors from other lands will come here to share the enjoyments which our country offers. This travel is good for America and its people. I n economic terms, it will bring into circulation an estimated $26 billion. Even more important are the memorable contributions which travel makes to the health, happiness and mutual understanding of all people. I t is appropriate that a period of time be set aside in which attention can be focused on the benefits which travel in the United States will bring to the Nation, its citizens and its visitors.

RUSH-BAGOT AGREEMENT DAYS gy j ^ g President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The Rush-Bagot Agreement, signed on April 28-29, 1817, provided for naval disarmament between Canada and the United States along the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. I t is the oldest arms limitation treaty existing in the world today. For that reason alone it deserves wide recognition. The Rush-Bagot Agreement—expressed in an exchange of notes between Richard Rush, Acting Secretary of State, and Sir Charles Bagot, British Minister to the United States—was one of the most significant steps in the development of peaceful relations between the United States and Canada. The unfortified boundary between our two countries is a symbol to the rest of the world of the harmony and understanding which can be achieved by two sovereign governments. The celebration of this event in the United States and Canada coincides with the opening of the 1967 Universal and International Exhibition—known as E X P O 67—in Montreal. The theme of the Exhibition, "Man and His World," has a close relationship to the spirit of peace and good will embodied in the Rush-Bagot Agreement. I n recognition of the significance of this agreement signed 150 years ago, the Congress by a joint resolution approved April 27, 1967, has requested the President to issue a proclamation designating April 28-29, 1967, as Rush-Bagot Agreement Days. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate April 28-29, 1967, as Rush-Bagot Agreement Days; and I invite the Governors of the several States, the chief officials of local governments, and the people of the United States to observe these days with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Proclamation 3782 NATIONAL MARITIME DAY, 1967 By fhe President of the United States of America

May 9, 1967

A Proclamation

Throughout American history, the Merchant Marine has been indispensable to our security and prosperity. Today, our merchant fleet binds us in peaceful commerce with the increasingly interdependent nations of the world. I n this decade alone, our imports and exports have risen nearly 60 percent—from less than $35 billion in 1960 to nearly $55 billion in 1966. Merchant ships carry the essentials of life to millions in need. They transport military supplies and equipment to our forces abroad. Of all our supplies being sent to Vietnam today, 98 percent are carried by ship. To remind Americans of the important role which the merchant marine plays in our national life, the Congress in 1933 designated the anniversary of the first transatlantic voyage by a steamship, the SS Savannah^ on May 22, 1819, as National Maritime Day, and requested the President to issue a proclamation annually in observance of that day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby urge the people of the United States to honor our American Merchant Marine on Monday, May 22, 1967, by displaying the flag of the United States at their homes and other suitable places, and I request that all ships sailing under the American flag dress ship on that day in tribute to the American Merchant Marine. 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.

Secretary of State. Proclamation 3783 SMALL BUSINESS WEEK, 1967 May 9, 1967

By fhe President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Fully 95 percent of the businesses serving the needs of the American people are small and privately owned. More than a third of the Nation's total goods and services are supplied by small businesses. Small businesses perform a service to the Nation beyond the supplying of goods. Operating in an open, competitive market, they stimulate the new ideas that create progress. They provide community leadership to aid economic development. They offer a wide and challenging variety of job opportunities to our people. To encourage the growth of new small businesses, the Small Business Administration has in the past three years granted 830 loans, totalling over $131 million, to local development companies. These loans have resulted in the creation of 28,800 new jobs, and added nearly $1.2 billion to our economy. During the last three years there has been a net increase of 200,000 in the number of small business establishments in our Nation. We recognize and applaud the contributions made by our 4.8 million small businesses. We must insure that they will continue to hold a vital place in our society. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning May 21, 1967, as Small Business Week, and I urge industrial and commercial organizations, chambers of commerce, boards of trade, and other public and private organizations to participate in ceremonies recognizing the significant contributions, past and present, of small business to our land, our culture, and our ideals.

Secretary

of State. Proclamation 3784 MOTHER'S DAY, 1967

By the President of the United States of America

May lo, 1967

A Proclamation

With each passing generation, the words of the poet—"Children are what the mothers are'"—take on greater meaning. We become ever more aware that the quality of our s,ociety depends in large measure upon the training our children receive in the early years of their lives. The American mother has borne the major responsibility for that early training. The fortitude to brave the frontier, the courage to bear our flag in battle, the compassion to help the needy and the weak at home and in distant lands—all of these have come to our people through traits of character instilled by our mothers. I t is fitting that we should set aside one day each year to pay tribute to our mothers—to thank God for their loving devotion, their moral teaching, and their steadfastness in all the weathers of our souls. To this end, the Congress more than fifty years ago designated the second Sunday in May of each year as Mother's Day and requested the President to issue a proclamation calling for its observance. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, pursuant to the joint resolution of May 8, 1914, do hereby request that Sunday, May 14,19G7, be observed as Mother's D a y; and I direct the appropriate officials of the Government to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on that day. I call upon all Americans on that day to pay special tribute to mothers—to our own mothers and to the mothers of our children— through the display of the flag at their homes or other suitable places, through prayers, and through other acts of love and devotion.

Proclamation 3785 PRAYER FOR PEACE, MEMORIAL DAY, 1967 May 22, 1967

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

I n reverent tribute on this Memorial Day 1967 we salute the gallant men of our country who have served us and still serve us so nobly and selflessly in defense of freedom. We can never repay their sacrifices. Our honored dead sleep in hallowed ground on five continents. The debt we owe them, and that our children will owe for generations to come, is beyond measure. Today, our young men are fighting and dying in Vietnam so that other young men may stand as they have stood—proudly independent, free to determine their own destiny. Before their common sacrifice and dedication the barriers of race, color, or creed crumble. The heroism of a just cause makes all men brothers against tyranny. Every President in time of armed conflict must act in the deep conviction that the cause for which our young men suffer and die transcends their sacrifices. A century ago President Lincoln expressed his grief over the terrible losses of the war between the States. He pointed out that all deprecated war, all sought to avoid it, but as there were those who would make war, so there must be those who could accept war. We have had to accept the war in Vietnam to redeem our pledge to those who have accepted in good faith our commitment to protect their right of free choice. Only in this way can we preserve our own right to act in freedom. So we shall continue to resist the aggressor in Vietnam, as we must. But we continue to hold open the door to an honorable peace, as we must.

JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Memorial Day, Tuesday, May 30, 1967, as a day of prayer for permanent peace and I designate the hour beginning in each locality at eleven o'clock in the morning of that day as a time to unite in such prayer.

Proclamation 3786 CITIZENSHIP DAY AND CONSTITUTION WEEK, 1967 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787, gave this Nation an effective plan of self-government—designed to assure our people equality and justice under law, liberty, and unparalleled opportunity for all. Today, one hundred and eighty years later, despite the increasing complexities of our world, the Constitution continues to guard fundamental rights.

PROCLAMATION 3786-MAY 24, 1967

[81 STAT.

The preservation of freedom, equality, and justice requires not only an intelligent exercise of our constitutional rights and privileges, but a firm recognition and support of the rights of others. Our citizens should be ever mindful of the oppressive conditions and injustices which led to the drafting and signing of the Constitution, and of the sufferings and sacrifices which have made it a viable, effective charter of liberty down through the years. Against this background and in the spirit of the Founding Fathers, they must constantly renew and strengthen their devotion and adherence to constitutional precepts. Our citizens—naturalized or native-born—must also seek to refresh and improve their knowledge of how our government operates under the Constitution and how they can participate in it. Only in this way can they assume the full responsibilities of citizenship and make our government more truly of, by, and for the people. Aware of the need for a recurrent dedication of all our citizens to the principles and ideals of the Constitution, the Congress enacted the joint resolutions of February 29, 1952 (66 Stat. 9), and August 2, 1956 (70 Stat. 932). The first resolution designated September 17 of each year as Citizenship Day in commemoration of the formation and signing of the Constitution on September 17, 1787, and in recognition of those persons who during the year acquired the status of citizenship either by coming of age or b ^ naturalization. The later resolution requested the President to designate the week beginning September 17 of each year as Constitution Week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, summon the appropriate officials of the Government to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on Citizenship Day, September 17, 1967; and I urge Federal, State and local officials, as well as all religious, civic, educational, and other organizations, to conduct meaningful ceremonies and observances on that day to inspire all our citizens, especially our youth in whose hands the future rests, to pledge themselves anew to the service of their country and to the support and defense of the Constitution. I also designate the period beginning September 17 and ending September 23, 1967, 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, whether they be naturalized or naturalborn, may have a better understanding of the Constitution and of the rights and responsibilities of United States citizenship.

Proclamation 3787 WHITE CANE SAFETY DAY, 1967 By the President of the United States of America

May 29, 1957

A Proclamation

Independence—so important to every American—has a special significance to the blind. Although imprisoned in a world of unceasing darkness, the blind must still be able to enjoy freedom of movement. The White Cane has become the emblem of the blind American's determination to live the most independent, constructive life possible. Since the foundation of the National Federation for the Blind in 1940, the White Cane has symbolized the aspirations and abilities of the blind. Available to every blind American, it is his passport to selfsufficiency. But the blind can enjoy their freedom with confidence only if their fellow citizens learn to treat them with consideration and respect. Today, all 50 states have White Cane Laws, emphasizing that for the White Canes to spell independence to the blind they must also spell caution to the rest of us. We must learn to recognize this symbol from afar, and to understand how much another person's freedom and life depend on our acknowledging his right-of-way above our own. To make our citizens more fully aware of the significance of the White Cane, and of the need for motorists to exercise caution and courtesy when approaching its bearer, the Congress, by a joint resolution, approved October 6, 1964 (78 Stat. 1003), has authorized the President to issue annually a proclamation designating October 15 as White Cane Safety Day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 15, 1967, as White Cane Safety Day. I call upon all our citizens, our civic and service organizations, schools, public bodies and the media of public information in every community to join in observing White Cane Safety Day, so that blind persons in our society may increasingly enjoy the greatest possible measure of personal independence. 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 jiffixed.

Proclamation 3788 FLAG DAY AND NATIONAL FLAG WEEK, 1967 June 10, 1967

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

On June 14, 1777, our young nation created a symbol of her newly declared freedom. That day, in Philadelphia, the Continental Congress resolved "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." Then, this flag was only colored cloth. But the beliefs and achievements of the people who pledged it allegiance quickly endowed our national banner with the proud meaning it has today. This is the flag that gave words to our anthem, that beckoned generations of immigrants to our shores, that gave safe escort to our commerce, and protection to Americans abroad. This is the flag that crossed the oceans in defense of freedom, that waved in the smoke above Corregidor, that was pushed aloft on Iwo Jima, that cheered the liberated peoples of Europe. This is the flag that has covered the remains of those who died in freedom's cause. This flag has earned the salute of the soldier and the respect of our citizens. So that this may be done, NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States, do hereby designate . the week beginning June 11, 1967, as National Flag Week. I direct the appropriate Government officials to display the flag on all Government buildings during that week. And on Flag Day, June 14—the 190th anniversary of the action of the Continental Congress—I urge every American to fly the flag. Fly it from your home, and from your place of business. And fly it in your heart. Let us teach our children of its meaning by our proud and reverent example. Let every American show how this "new constellation"—now of half a hundred stars—continues to guide and inspire the way of a free and dauntless people. 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 aifixed. DONE at the City of Washington this tenth day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixtyseven, and of the Independence of the United States of i^merica the one hundred and ninety-first.

Proclamation 3789 NATIONAL COAL WEEK By the President of the United States of America

June is, 1967

A Proclamation

Nearly a thousand years ago, Indians in what is now Arizona began to mine coal as a fuel for baking pottery. From that remote beginning grew a great industry that contributed mightily to our development as a Nation. Coal fed the steam engines that conquered our rivers and pushed our frontiers westward. I t smelted the iron that built cities and railroads and automobiles. I t warmed our homes and provided the current to light them. I t fired—and is still firing—the furnaces of freedom. Today, our expanding technology imposes new demands on the coal industry to assure its future service as a source of energy, and as a continued source of livelihood for thousands of our citizens. All Americans look to the leaders of this great industry—management and labor alike—to continue their efforts toward further technological advancement. I t is essential to our national well-being that this great natural resource, which has meant much to our history, continue to play a significant role in the development of America's tomorrow. The Congress, by Senate Concurrent Eesolution 20, has asked me ^"*®' P- ^°''^to direct attention to this abundant resource. I t is my pleasure to do so. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of June 1824, 1967, as National Coal Week. I call upon citizens throughout the Nation to participate in observance of that week, in honor of the National Coal Association.

—Men be entitled to the government and the representatives of their choice. —No citizen be above the law. —Justice be administered by an independent judicial system. —Disputes be fairly resolved by peaceful means. We wish that relations among nations, as among individual citizens, were alwajs governed by the Kule of Law—that disputes among nations were always adjudicated peacefully—that nations could learn to live with their differences as law-abiding neighbors. One step in making this vision a reality is the joining together of the best judicial and legal minds of many nations. Many men of such eminence will assemble in Geneva on July 10, 1967, for the World Conference of World Peace Through Law. While other meetings will command more headlines, none will meet for a more important purpose. I t is especially fitting in these times of strife that we salute those who seek to establish the Rule of Law as a standard for the world. Our best wishes are with this conference, as it assembles to promote the role of law and legal institutions in the resolution of international disputes and the maintenance of world peace. We join our fellow men throughout the world in reaffirming our commitment to the principles of international justice—and our hope that all men may find the wisdom to implement them. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, in order to advance the great goal of achieving and securing world peace, do hereby proclaim July 10, 1967, as World Law Day, and I call upon all public and private officials, members of the legal profession, citizens, and all men of good will to demonstrate the importance of the law in mankind's quest for world peace by appropriate observances and ceremonies in courts, schools, universities, and other public places.

Today our people reaffirm their faith in law; their faith in progress; their faith in human brotherhood. I t is right to pray that strife will not bring down what we have built, nor threaten all the things we hope to build. NOW THEREFORE I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby set aside Sunday, July 30, 1967, as a National Day of Prayer for Peace and Reconciliation. I call on every Governor, every Mayor, every family in the land to join in this observance. I call on all our citizens to go into their churches on this Sunday, and to pray for peace in the land we love. We deplore the few who rely upon words and works of terror. We mourn the many who have suffered from violence in the cities. We dedicate ourselves once more to the rule of law, in whose absence anarchy is loosed and tragedy is born. We pray to Almighty God, the Author of our liberty, for hearts free from hate, so that our Nation can be free from bitterness. We pray for strength to build together so that disorder may cease, progress steadily continue, and justice prosper. I N W I T N E S S WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-second.
