NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOHN F. KENNEDY, President of the United States of America, in accord with the joint resolution of Congress, approved December 26, 1941, which designates the fourth Thursday in November of each year as Thanksgiving Day, do hereby proclaim Thursday, the twenty-second day of November of this year, as a day of national thanksgiving. I urge that all observe this day with reverence and with humility. Let us renew the spirit of the Pilgrims at the first Thanksgiving, lonely in an inscrutable wilderness, facing the dark unknown with a faith borne of their dedication to God and a fortitude drawn from their sense that all men were brothers. Let us renew that spirit by offering our thanks for uncovenanted mercies, beyond our desert or merit, and by resolving to meet the responsibilities placed upon us. Let us renew that spirit by sharing the abundance of this day with those less fortunate, in our own land and abroad. Let us renew that spirit by seeking always to establish larger communities of brotherhood. Let us renew that spirit by preparing our souls for the incertitudes ahead—by being always ready to confront crisis with steadfastness and achievement with grace and modesty. Let us renew that spirit by concerting our energy and our hope with men and women everywhere that the world may move more rapidly toward the time when Thanksgiving may be a day of universal celebration. Let us renew that spirit by expressing our acceptance of the limitations of human striving and by affirming our duty to strive nonetheless, as Providence may direct us, toward a better world for all mankind. 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. DONE at the City of Washington this 7th day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one [SEAL] hundred and eighty-seventh.

note.

WHEREAS I find and determine that in order to enhance the ability 76 Stat. 377. of the petroleum industry to meet possible national security demands, ^^ "^ ^^^^' it is necessary to relate maximum levels of authorized imports into Districts I - IV to domestic production of crude oil and natural gas liquids and to adjust these levels; and WHEREAS I find and determine that certain revisions in the system of allocating imports will operate to maintain the competitive capability of refining companies of varying sizes and thus strengthen the national security: NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOHN F.

 The central government is constantly becoming stronger and more active, and Congress is establishing itself as the one sovereign authority in that government. In constitutional theory and in the broader features of past practice, ours has been what Mr. Bagehot has called a “composite” government. Besides state and federal authorities to dispute as to sovereignty, there have been within the federal system itself rival and irreconcilable powers. But gradually the strong are overcoming the weak. If the signs of the times are to be credited, we are fast approaching an adjustment of sovereignty quite as “simple” as need be. Congress is not only to retain the authority it already possesses, but is to be brought again and again face to face with still greater demands upon its energy, its wisdom, and its conscience, is to have ever-widening duties and responsibilities thrust upon it, without being granted a moment’s opportunity to look back from the plough to which it has set its hands.

The sphere and influence of national administration and national legislation are widening rapidly. Our populations are growing at such a rate that one’s reckoning staggers at counting the possible millions that may have a home and a work on this continent ere fifty more years shall have filled their short span.

in the proclamation to carry out the provisions of the schedule. A copy of this agreement is annexed to this proclamation. (2) Requisite Findings and Determinations and Applicable Procedures Regarding Agreement. Prior to entering into the trade agreement identified in paragraph (1) of this part: (a) Prior Findings. The President found that certain existing duties or other import restrictions of the United States or of foreign countries which are contracting parties to G A T T, including the United Kingdom, were unduly burdening and restricting the foreign trade of the United States, and that the purposes of section 350 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U. S. C 1351), would be promoted by entering into such trade agreement. (b) Compliance with Procedural Requirements. Eeasonable public notice was given of the intention to conduct trade agreement negotiations under G A T T with the governments of the foreign countries referred to in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph. Views presented by interested persons have been received and considered. Information and advice with respect to such negotiations has been sought from the Departments of State, Agriculture, Commerce, and Defense, and from other sources. Pursuant to section 3 of the Trade Agreements Exteusiou Act of 1951, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1360), the President transmitted to the United States Tariff Commission for investigation and report lists of all articles imported into the United States to be considered for possible modification of duties and other import restrictions, imposition of additional import restrictions, or continuance of existing customs or excise treatment in trade-agreement negotiations with the governments of the foreign countries referred to in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph. The Tariff Commission made the investigations and reports of its determinations pursuant to section 3 within the time specified therein. (c) Determination that Certain Rate Decreases Will Sim/plify Computation. The President has made the determination provided for in section 350(a)(3)(D) of the Tariff Act of 1930 that certain modifications of existing duties hereinafter proclaimed in part III of this proclamation, which reflect decreases in rates of duty exceeding the decreases specified in section 350(a)(4)(A) or (B), will simplify the computation of the amount of duty imposed with respect to the articles concerned. (d) DetenminMion Rejecting Ad Valorem Equivalent of Certain Specific Rates. The President has made the determination respecting the ad valorem equivalent of the specific rate of duty (or combination of rates including a specific rate), and respecting the representative period, under the authority of section 350(a)(3)(D) and (4)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, by reference to section 350 (a)(2)(D) ( i i) of that act, in the case of each modification of an existing duty proclaimed in this proclamation for which such a determination was relevant, using, to the maximum extent practicable, the standards of valuation contained in section 402 or 402a of the Tariff Act, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1401a or 1402). (3) Determination that Proclamation Required or Ap'^ropriate to Carry out Trade Agreement. I determine that the modifications of existing duties and other import restrictions of the United States, the additional import restrictions, and the continuance of existing customs and excise treatment of articles imported into the United States proclaimed in part III of this proclamation will be required or appropriate to carry out the trade agreement identified in paragraph (1) of this part.

Proclamation 3515 LAW DAY, U.S.A.—1963 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The story of man's advance from savagery to civilization is the story of reason and morality displacing brutal force. While law is reason systematized, it is more than reason alone. A great justice of our Supreme Court said long ago, "The law is the witness and external deposit of our moral life. I t s history is the history of the moral development of the race." I n a time when all men are properly concerned lest nations, forgetting law, reason, and moral existence, turn to mutual destruction, we have all the more need to work for a day when law may govern nations as it does men within nations; when systematized reason may bring us a confident future; when the moral development of the human race may assure us a peaceful and law-abiding world. I n 1961 the Congress by joint resolution wisely designated as "Law Day, U.S.A." the first day of each May. Thus, "Law Day, U.S.A." becomes the significant answer to Communism's May Day demonstrations, and calls on our people to rededicate themselves to ideals of equality and justice in their relations with one another and to the same ideals in relations with other nations. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOHN F. KENNEDY, President of the United States of America, to support and emphasize this congressional resolution, do hereby request the people of our country to observe the first day of May, 1963, with such ceremonies and observances as will suitably signalize this great aspiration. I urge that civic and service organizations, schools, public bodies, and the media of information join in this educational observance, and further call upon all officials to display the nation's flag on public buildings on that day in token of our dedication to government under law. 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. D O N E at the City of Washington this twenty fifth day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-three, [SEAL] and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and eighty-seventh.
