Law Day, U.S.A., 1973 By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation Nearly 190 years ago, Alexander Hamilton wrote in The Federalist Papers that an independent judicial system is "the best expedient which can be devised in any government, to secure a steady, upright, and impartial administration of the laws." The theme of the sixteenth annual observance of Law Day, U.S.A., "Help Your Courts—Assure Justice," makes Hamilton's words particularly timely. For it is in our courts that our Constitution and all our laws take on their practical meaning. The judicial system is the final arbiter of American justice—and the final guarantor of American democracy. The first principle of the judiciary must always be to interpret the law fairly and without prejudice— the rights of the weak must be equally protected with those of the strong, the rights of the poor with those of the rich, the rights of the guilty with those of the innocent. 22-150 O - 75 - 76

It also provided an important opportunity for all Americans to pay tribute to the qualities which have made our country great—^individual initiative, voluntary action, and a deep sense of responsibility for the gifts of nature and the welfare of the community. Our environment is the source of life upon which we all depend; its preservation has brought out the best in the American character. In thousands of communities, citizens have joined to improve the quality of their lives and those of their neighbors.

Small Business Week, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation In no facet of our national life is the American genius for independence, innovation and self-improvement better displayed than in the small business community. The instinct to create, sustain and expand an independent enterprise is as old as America herself—an impulse that brought the earliest settlers to our shores and motivated generation after generation of our citizens in their onward, upward march. Nowhere is it more clearly evident today than among our Nation's 8 million small businesses. In the past year alone, more than 70 thousand new companies were started. Nineteen out of every twenty firms are considered small business, and they provide approximately 35 million jobs, and contribute more than $420 billion to the gross national product. They also provide a ladder of opportunity to hard working, ambitious Americans of all races and creeds—the chance to harness individual

^y ^/j^ President of the United States of America

A Proclamation Transportation has always been a central factor in the growth of our country. Our ability to meet economic needs, overcome geographic barriers, and respond rapidly to emergencies—foreign or domestic—rests largely on a modern and efficient transportation system. ., From our earliest days, the Federal government has worked in partnership with the private sector to achieve better transportation systems. That partnership continues today—but the challenges it faces are changing. The need today is for initiatives which can help us to reconcile our transportation needs with our energy resources, to encourage mobility without impairing safety and security, to upgrade our transportation capabilities without damaging the environment.

National Farm Safety Week By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation The unfailing supply of food and fiber provided by the Nation's largest industry, agriculture, has been a foundation of American prosperity since our country's beginnings. Abundance on the farm, in turn, has been stimulated by constant technological progress. But the blessings of technology have sometimes been mixed, as each advance has also brought a new potential for injury. Each year, many thousands of farm and ranch residents are killed or seriously injured in work, home, recreation and highway mishaps. For the most part, these accidents could be prevented if basic safety precautions were observed. The dollar cost of rural accidents is high, but there is no higher price than the human sufTering. This waste of precious human and economic resources must be reduced and can be reduced. The same energies and talents which have made agriculture so highly productive should also be turned to the task of making it safer.

National Action for Foster Children Week, 1973 March 14, 1973

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation In today's rapidly changing, highly mobile society, more children than ever find themselves temporarily, or even permanently, separated from their parents. Such children may carry lasting emotional scars unless they can be placed in a stable family environment where they can feel loved and secure. In the past year alone, more than 300,000 American children were living in foster homes. It is gratifying that so many Americans are working to help foster children. They include not only professionals in the child welfare field but hundreds of volunteers—businessmen, church and community leaders, and members of civic groups—all dedicated to the principle that none of our children should be deprived or neglected. In recognition of these efforts, I am asking the Nation to set aside a week during which we can assess the needs of foster children, encourage States and communities to plan activities which will help meet those needs, and renew our determination to assure foster children that we care about them and their well-being.

National Employ the Older Worker Week By the President of the United States of America

March 15, 1973

A Proclamation The employment of men and women who are 45 years of age and over is an important objective—not only for those directly involved, but for our entire country. For their energies, their talents, and their experience are a national resource of tremendous value which is not now being fully utilized. There are many barriers hampering middle-aged and older Americans in continuing as productive and useful participants in the society and in the work force. This Administration is committed to overcoming these barriers. In an expanding economy such as ours the single most effective response to the employment problems of older workers will come from the understanding and voluntary cooperation of employers in both the private and public sectors. To encourage such cooperative efforts, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 334, has requested the President to issue a proclamation designating the second full calendar week in March of 1973 as National Employ the Older Worker Week.

A Proclamation Americans carved a nation out of the wilderness. Now we must preserve the wilderness for the Nation. The theme of this year's National Wildlife Week is: "Discover Wildlife—It's Too Good To Miss." In a greater sense, Americans are rediscovering the natural animal world around them. Our concern for the fate of wild animals has increased. We have come to realize that the development of the human habitat has occurred at great cost to another kind of habitat. And we are seeking more effective ways to prevent and enhance our wilderness areas. All men need refuges for their spirit. The wilderness invokes contemplation and provides recreation, and the animal wildlife of America provides a fascinating dimension to our natural heritage which we know must be preserved for future generations to enjoy.

Loyalty Day, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

March 23, 1973

A Proclamation The meaning of America is rooted deep in the brains and bones of men and women who once cherished a dream that mankind might live in freedom somehow, somewhere on this earth. The dream became an idea, the idea an ideal, and the ideal a reality here in this land. Brighter than the sun, the meaning of America shines across the world, warming those to whom the dignity of living in liberty is still a dream.

.^

Generations of men and women "who more than self their country loved" have given all that liberty demanded to keep the meaning of America alive, both in our land and in the hearts of others abroad. This willingness to give is the measure of our loyalty—it is reflected in how we live our liberty, and how we love our country. On this Loyalty Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to the great work which began long ago, but which is still unfinished as our Nation is unfinished—to make whole and perfect the meaning of America: "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in accordance with the joint resolution of the Congress of July 18, 1958, do call upon the people of the United States, and upon all patriotic, civic and educational organizations to observe Tuesday, May 1, 1973 as Loyalty Day, with appropriate ceremonies in which all may join.

The Chairman of the Oil Policy Committee, in the exercise of his responsibility to maintain a constant surveillance of imports of petroleum and its primary derivatives in respect to the national security, and after consultation with the Oil Policy Committee, has informed me that, in his opinion, the following circumstance indicates a need for further Presidential action under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (IQ U.S.C. 1862), as amended, namely: Petitions now pending before the Oil Import Appeals Board for relief in the form of grants of allocations of imports of crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products would, if acted upon favorably by the Board, exceed in the aggregate the limits of the maximum levels of imports established in section 2 of Proclamation No. 3279, as amended; and, in order that the Board shall be in position to consider such petitions on their merits, the Board should be empowered, without regard to such maximum levels, to modify, on the grounds of exceptional hardship, any allocation made to any person under regulations issued pursuant to section 3 of Proclamation No. 3279, as amended; to grant allocations of imports of crude oil and unfinished oils in special circumstances to persons with importing histories who do not qualify for allocations under such

Senior Citizens Month, 1973 March 26, 1973

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation Today more than 20 million Americans have six and a half decades or more of life behind them, and rich years of promise still before them. This distinguished generation grew up with the twentieth century, and they came to the fullness of their maturity at the same time America did. They have stood in the forefront of this country's rise to unprecedented national well-being and to the world leadership role which is ours today. Our older citizens have given their best to America. Now they deserve the best from America.

Senior Citizens Month each year is a time for all our people to renew the recognition, the respect, and the active concern which properly belong to older Americans. The theme of this year's observance is OLDER AMERICANS IN ACTION. It points our attention to the basic fact that most older people are not mere onlookers in our society—nor are they society's wards. They remain vital, versatile, and highly valued contributors to the quality of American life. Government's actions on behalf of older Americans must never become mere caretaking. Rather they must be designed to free and assist senior citizens so that they can remain active and involved, in ways of their own choosing. This principle has guided us as Federal spending to help older Americans heis increased by almost three-fourths during the past four years. But Senior Citizens Month 1973 must be something more than a time for renewing our commitment to Government efforts concerning older Americans—important as these efforts are. It must also be a time for strengthening those human bonds which will ensure older Americans an active and honored place in our families, our communities, and our Nation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the month of May, 1973, as Senior Citizens Month. I invite the officials of the Federal, State, and local governments, leaders of voluntary and private organizations, and all Americans every-

Cancer Control Month, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

March 28, 1973

A Proclamation The forces fighting cancer in America are being mobilized as never before in our history. Under the National Cancer Program, authorized by the National Cancer Act of 1971, public and private resources are being marshaled in the most intensive campaign ever waged against malignant disease. I have on numerous occasions expressed my strong, personal commitment to the attack on cancer. Cancer is now killing Americans at the rate of 350,000 a year and causing untold suffering for many others. Everything that can effectively be done to find better ways of detecting, treating, and ultimately preventing cancer must be done so that we can substantially reduce its impact. As a means of giving continued emphasis to the cancer problem, 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, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of April, 1973, as Cancer Control Month, and I invite the Governors of the States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and the appropriate officials of all other areas under the United States flag to issue similar proclamations.

A Proclamation 2 UST 2394; 21 UST 607.

Eighty-three years ago the International Union of American Republics was established, the forerunner of the Organization of American States. There have been differences among the member nations in those eighty-three years, and some of these differences continue today. But far more significant is the fact that, despite dramatic changes and our great cultural and political diversity, the members of the hemispheric community have maintained and strengthened our common forum in a general climate of friendship and understanding. It is an intangible force which forms the basis of solidarity among the Americas—a combination of idealism and realism and a capacity to grow and adjust with the times. The Organization of American States is the focal point of this force, a place where cooperation rather than confrontation strengthens the common ties shared by the nations of the hemisphere. This unity of the Americas is based on respect for the historic personality of each of the countries of the Americas and demands a mutual understanding and respect for each country. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Saturday, April 14, 1973, as Pan American Day, and the week beginning April 8 and ending April 14 as Pan American Week, and I call upon the Governors of the fifty States, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and appropriate officials of all other areas under the flag of the United States to issue similar proclamations.

Nicolaus Copernicus Week By the President of the United States of America

April 10,4.973

A Proclamation Nineteen hundred seventy-three marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of Nicolaus Copernicus (Mikolaj Kopemik). This brilliant son of Poland distinguished himself as an economist, physician, mathematician, theologian, soldier, and statesman. But above all, it was his inspired work in astronomy and his theories about the place of the earth in the universe that marked him for greatness and precipitated the flowering of modern science. In a world of darkness, his only weapons were the light of learning and devotion to truth. The daring, imagination, reason, discipline, and versatility of Copernicus led mankind to a brighter age. It is fitting that we pay tribute to him on the anniversary of his birth, and that we remind ourselves how much a single man, dedicated and unafraid, can do to extend knowledge and enrich human consciousness. This anniversary should also serve to remind us that the study of science is one of man's noblest pursuits. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in consonance with House Joint Resolution 5, do hereby designate the week of April 23, 1973, as Nicolaus Copernicus Week, and I call upon the people of the United States to join with the Nation's scientific community, as well as that of Poland and other nations, in observing that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

A Proclamation The first transatlantic voyage by a steamship was made by an American vessel, the "Savannah", on May 22, 1819, from its namesake port in Georgia to Liverpool, England. To commemorate that event, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved four decades ago, designated May 22 of each year as National Maritime Day, and requested the President to issue a proclamation annually calling for its observance. In welcome contrast to those of the past twelve years, National Maritime Day, 1973, finds this Nation at peace. Our merchant marine, which so effectively served as the logistic lifeline to our Armed Forces and allies in Southeast Asia, can now concentrate its full attention on the movement of cargoes which link the United States and its trading partners in peaceful enterprise. International trade is an important and constructive force in forging concord between nations, and we have assigned high priorities to the improvement and expansion of our trade relations with the rest of the w o r l d.

I am confident that the American merchant marine, which is being restructured and revitalized under the Merchant Marine Act of 1970, will contribute in large measure to the success of these endeavors. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby urge the people of the United States to honor our American merchant marine on May 22, 1973, 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 observe "dress ship" procedures on that day. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and

National Clean Water Week By the President of the United States of America

April 14, 1973

A Proclamation Clean water can mean many things—a sparkling stream, a refreshing drink, an industrial essential, or a beleaguered resource. The need for clean water always exists. Agencies of government, researchers in universities, and concerned citizens individually and through organizations are working to assure a reliable and plentiful supply. Our heightened awareness of its importance in our lives and in our national life is a safeguard for its protection and enhancement. It is appropriate that we recognize the efforts of all those who are seeking to preserve our clean water supplies and encourage them and all our citizens to continue their quest. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in concurrence with H.J. Res. 437, do hereby designate the week beginning April 15, 1973, as National Clean Water Week. I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to support National Clean Water Week and to arrange for its proper observance. I also ask that special attention be given to personal voluntary activities and education efforts directed toward recognizing the need for clean water and protecting the supply. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventythree, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Jim Thorpe Day April 16, 1973

^y ffig President of the United States of America

A Proclamation In the early years of this century when Americans of racial and ethnic minority backgrounds were reaching for greater dignity and opportunity among their fellow-citizens, and when excellence in sport commanded increasing admiration across the country, one magnificent athlete from the Oklahoma frontier came to world renown as a pioneer in both of these developing trends. His name was James Francis Thorpe; his roots were in the Potowatomi/ Sac and Fox Tribe of the American Indians; and his prowess on playing fields from Carlisle Institute to the Stockholm Olympics remains legendary in this, the 85th anniversary year of his birth. The history of college and professional football, world decathlon and pentathlon competition, and major league baseball is permanently enriched by the contributions of this noble American who has been acclaimed by some as the greatest athlete of the first half of the 20th century. And millions of young people who aspire to achievements transcending a disadvantaged background continue to take heart from Jim Thorpe's example. Ante, p. 23.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in accordance with Senate Joint Resolution 73, do hereby proclaim Monday, April 16, 1973, as "Jim Thorpe Day" and call upon the people of the United States to mark this day with appropriate observances. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventythree, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Aprii 18, 1973

A Proclamation The Chairman of the Oil Policy Committee maintains a constant surveillance of imports of petroleum and its primary derivatives in respect to the national security. He informs me that, in the course of his surveillance, he has reviewed the status of imports under Proclamation 3279, as amended, of petro.

fees for licenses covering such imports shall be charged and whereby such fees may be adjusted from time to time, as required in order to discourage the importation into the United States of petroleum and petroleum products in such quantities or under such circumstances as to threaten to impair the national security; to create conditions favorable, in the long range, to domestic production needed for projected national security requirements; to increase the capacity of domestic refineries and petro-chemical plants to meet such requirements; and to encourage investment, exploration, and development necessary to assure such growth. The Chairman informs me further, that the levels of imports heretofore fixed in calendar year 1973, with respect to Districts I-IV, District V, and Puerto Rico, reflect application of the established policy that for each such area the maximum level of imports shall be the difference between estimated supply and estimated demand, and that he finds that such levels of imports should be continued to be permitted without payment of the fees otherwise provided for in this proclamation.

u s e prec. title 76 Stat. 877. 19 USC 1862. 73 Stat. e25. 19 USC 1862 note.

I agree with the recommendations of the Chairman, and I deem it necessary and consistent with the national security objectives of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended, that provision be made for a gradual transition from the existing quota method of adjusting imports of petroleum and petroleum products to a long-term program for adjustment of imports of petroleum and petroleum products through the suspension of existing tariffs and the institution of a system of fees applicable to imports of crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products, which fees may be adjusted from time to time. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, do hereby proclaim that, effective as of this date, that portion of Proclamation 3279, as amended, beginning with section 1 thereof, is hereby amended to read as follows: , "SEC. 1(a) In Districts I-IV, in District V, and in Puerto Rico, no crude oil, unfinished oils, or finished products may be entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, except (1) by or for the account of a person to whom a license has been issued by the Secretary of the Interior pursuant to an allocation made to such person by the Secretary in accordance with regulations issued by the Secretary, and such entries or withdrawals may be made only in accordance with the terms of such license, or (2) as authorized by the Secretary pursuant to paragraph (b) of this section, or (3) as to finished products, by or for the account of a department, establishment^ o>^ agency of the United States, which shall not be required to have such a license

(b) The Secretary of the Interior may, in his discretion, authorize entries, without allocation or license, of small quantities of crude oil, unfinished oils, or finished products. (c) In Districts I-IV, District V, and in Puerto Rico, no department, establishment, or agency of the United States shall without prior payment of the fees provided for in this proclamation, import finished products in excess of the respective allocations made to them by the Secretary of the Interior.

(d) The Secretary may, by regulation, provide that no allocation or license shall be required in connection with the transportation to the United States by pipeline through a foreign country of crude oilj unfinished oils, or finished products produced in the customs territory of the United States or, in the event of commingling with foreign oils of like kind and qualities incidental to such transportation, of quantities equivalent to the quantities produced in and shipped from such customs territory." "SEC. 2(a) Except as otherwise provided in this proclamation, the maximum level of imports, from sources other than Canada and Mexico which may be made without prior payment of the fees provided in this proclamation, of crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products (other than residual fuel oil to be used as fuel) shall be: (1) for Districts I-IV, 1,992,000 average barrels per day per calendar year: Provided, That, in addition to the foregoing, there may be imported into District I an average of 50,000 barrels per day of No. 2 fuel oil, manufactured in the Western Hemisphere from crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere under allocations made by the Secretary, pursuant to regulations of the Secretary, to deepwater terminal operators currently receiving allocations and who do not have crude oil import allocations into Districts I - IV; Provided Further, That, whenever the Chairman of the Oil Policy Committee finds that, because of supply, price, or other considerations, the requirement that No. 2 fuel oil be manufactured in the Western Hemisphere from crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere is unduly restricting the availability of such oil for importation into District I and is not required for the national security, he shall so advise the Secretary who shall then suspend such requirement by appropriate regulation. No such suspension shall be renewed except upon a new finding by the Chairman as required by the preceding sentence; Provided Further, That, the Secretary may, by regulation, provide that a holder of an allocation for the importation of

Thirtieth Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising April 21, 1973

A Proclamation Thirty years ago a remnant of determined Polish Jews launched a resistance of desperation in the Warsaw Ghetto. All who took part knew that death would be the almost certain consequence, yet they readily chose that path in their struggle for freedom. As we recall the valor of these honored and desperate heroes, we are mindful that the price of freedom is high. The debt we owe the gallant defenders of the Warsaw Ghetto is part of the same obligation all of us who live in freedom owe to those who refuse to capitulate in the face of invasion or violence. The names of these Warsaw Ghetto warriors are an inspiration to free men everywhere.

National Arthritis Month, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation Arthritis and the rheumatic diseases are the Nation's number one crippling disorders. They afflict some 17 million Americans of all ages, causing their victims untold suffering and cruel limitations of normal activity. Among the chronic illnesses suffered by our people, only heart disease is more widespread. The cost of arthritis and rheumatic diseases to Americans must be counted not only in billions of dollars of lost earnings and medical expenses each year, but also in poignant human terms. This is a price we need not continue to pay. Year by year the advancement of medical science through private and publicly supported medical research and education permits thousands of arthritis victims to receive more effective treatment and live freer lives. We can and must continue this progress and extend its benefits to all who have been so unjustly sentenced to lives of pain and disability from arthritis and the rheumatic diseases. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of May 1973 as National Arthritis Month. I invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to issue similar proclamations. I urge individuals and organizations working in the educational, philanthropic, scientific, medical and health care fields to accelerate our national effort to discover the cause and cures of arthritis and rheumatic diseases and to alleviate the suffering of persons struck by these disorders.

World Trade Week, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation We stand today on the threshold of a new era of peace in the world— a time that opens new and ever-widening opportunities for global cooperation which can bring a greater measure of progress and prosperity for the peoples of all nations. One of the most powerful forces for such progress can be the expansion of world trade. Our advanced industrial technology, our highly efficient agricultural system, and our increasingly productive labor force have combined to make America the world's largest exporter of all countries in the world. In the process we have also become the world's largest marketing country for the products of other countries. History clearly demonstrates that trade creates more and better-paying jobs for American workers, a wider choice of products for American consumers, enhanced opportunities for the creative and competitive skills of American business, and a higher standard of living for all Americans. But we also know that expanded trade must be achieved within the context of an international economic system which is fair to all participants. For this reason the United States proposed major reforms in the international monetary field in 1972; marked progress toward their adoption is presently being made. For this same reason, I have recently submitted to the Congress the Trade Reform Act of 1973. Its enactment will enable the United States to enter the international trade negotiations later this year with the tools we need to achieve fair reductions in trade barriers, to help build a new international economic order and to advance our interests within it. Under such legislation, the United States can continue to work with other nations in building a fair and open trading world. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 20, 1973, as World Trade Week, and I call upon all Americans to cooperate in observing that week by participating with the business community and all levels of Government in activities that emphasize the importance of world trade to the United States economy and to our relations with other nations.

National Historic Preservation Week May 5, 1973

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation As the pace of change accelerates in the world around us, Americans more than ever before need a lively awareness of our roots and origins in the past on which to base our sense of identity in the present and our directions for the future. "People will not look forward to posterity," said Burke, "who never look backward to their ancestors." America's history is told not only in books, museums, and monuments, but also across the face of the land itself and along the streets of our cities and towns. Our lives can be immeasurably enriched by preserving as an integral part of modern America some of the settings in which generations before us have lived and worked. Pressures to sweep away in the name of "progress" such irreplaceable examples of our heritage seem to grow steadily stronger, but the movement to resist those pressures through a farsighted historic preservation effort is gaining strength even faster, with both public and private support. National Historic Preservation Week is an appropriate time to consider what is at stake in this cause, to chart what must be done, and to reaffirm our resolve to do it while there is still time. Ante,

p. 65.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, as requested by Senate Joint Resolution 51, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 6, 1973, as National Historic Preservation Week. I call upon government agencies at all levels, interested private individuals, and concerned citizens to mark this observance with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Mother's Day, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation For nearly 60 years, this Nation has set aside one day each year to recognize the enormous responsibility a mother bears for the development of her children and our future citizens. Mother's Day also provides a special opportunity for a grateful Nation to pay tribute to other contributions that the mothers of America are making to our national life. Today we are in the midst of a national movement to ensure equal rights for women. This movement has helped bring millions of additional women into the work force, performing highly skilled and challenging jobs—many of them previously filled by men. Great numbers of these women are mothers who are pursuing careers even while they continue to carry out major family responsibilities. American women have made wide-ranging contributions to our country throughout its history. Pioneer women helped push westward the American frontier. Women have filled countless industrial positions in wartime when men have entered the Armed Forces. In medicine, science, law, education and every other profession, women have helped this country achieve unparalleled successes. It is appropriate on this Mother's Day that we honor mothers of every generation: —Older mothers, many of whom are widowed and living alone. —Mothers in their middle years who began careers after their children were grown. —Younger mothers who devote full time to their family responsibilities. —Mothers who, in addition to their vital role at home, are engaged in volunteer service or employment that is of inestimable value to our economy and the quality of American life. And particularly, this year, we honor the mothers and wives of those who served in the Vietnam war, especially those whose loved ones lost their lives or were held as prisoners of war.

The brave men who served so well in that conflict are home again; our valiant prisoners are free at last and reunited with their loved ones—all made possible by the firm resolve of the American people. Thus our prayers for peace this day are also prayers of thanksgiving. Through our history we have seen despotisms and ideologies come and declare themselves the wave of the future, crushing freedom under foot— but each has passed, and freedom, sure as spring, has pushed up through the ruins again to reaffirm the essential dignity of man. Americans have been on the side of that dignity in every war we have fought. Today, freedom survives in South Vietnam, and generations hence, the literature of liberty will tell that America demonstrated fully and finally its great commitment to its founding principles by fighting on behalf of just eighteen million people half a world away—and by achieving at last what we fought for.
