Proclamation 3692 LAW DAY, U.S.A., 1966 December 8, 1965

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

75 Stat. 43. 36 USC 164.

"Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can even do much to help it. * * * the spirit of liberty is the spirit of Him who, near two thousand years ago, taught mankind that lesson it has never learned, but has never quite forgotten; that there may be a kingdom where the least shall be heard and considered side by side with the greatest." These words of a great American jurist, the late Judge Learned Hand, are especially appropriate this year as the United States of America celebrates the one hundred and seventy-fifth anniversary of the Bill of Eights, and the one hundred and ninetieth anniversary of the independence of our Nation. Both occasions are notable milestones in the life of our republic and in man's quest for freedom and justice under law. These two significant events in American history serve to remind us that the great individual rights we value so highly carry with them corresponding obligations of citizenship: to obey the law—recognize the rights of others—resolve grievances by lawful means—support law enforcement agencies—encourage law obedience by others—practice and teach patriotism—and defend our country. The fostering of greater respect for the rule of law, and of deeper understanding of our great heritage of individual liberty, will immeasurably aid the United States in its war on crime and juvenile delinquency. The Congress by joint resolution has wisely designated the first day of May of each year as Law Day, U.S.A., to remind us of the fundamental truth that our liberty, our rights to pursue our individual destinies, and our very lives are dependent upon our system of law and independent courts. Only under the rule of law, and obedience thereto, can we rightfully claim our heritage of individual freedom. The observance of Law Day, U.S.A., on May 1, 1966, with the theme, "Respect the Law—It Respects You," will serve to focus attention on the need for every individual to do his part to help strengthen our national commitment to the rule of law.

The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Fraunces' Tavern

FRAUNCES' TAVERN, an ancient building at the southeast corner of Broad and Pearl streets, New York. It was originally built by the Delancey family and long occupied as a mansion. Afterward it was transformed into a tavern. After the British evacuation of New York it was for a time the headquarters of Gen. George Washington, who here on 4 Dec. 1783 delivered his farewell address to his officers. In 1768 the New York Chamber of Commerce was founded here, and in 1902 it was purchased and restored by the Sons of the Revolution, who have thus preserved for posterity one of the famous landmarks of Revolutionary days. The tavern is still maintained.

WHEREAS, it appears that, as represented by the Government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the development of a petrochemical industry in Puerto Rico will provide a substantial and much needed increase in opportunities for employment of its citizens, I find and determine that provisions should be made permitting the development, without impairment of the objectives of Proclamation 3279, as amended, of such an industry in Puerto Rico: NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes, including section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, do hereby proclaim that: -^ Paragraph (a) of section 1 of Proclamation 3279, as amended, is amended to read as follows: (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, and no foreign crude oil, unfinished oils, or finished products may be brought into a foreign trade zone in Districts I - IV or in District V for processing within the zone, 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, withdrawals, and shipments into foreign trade zones 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, or agency of the United States, which shall not be required to have such a license but which shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) of this section, or (4) crude oil, unfinished oils, or finished products which are transported into the United States by pipeline, rail, or other means of overland transportation from the country where they were produced, which country, in the case of unfinished oils or finished products, is also the country of production of the crude oil from which they were processed or manufactured. ^

As used in this subparagraph (1), the term "natural gas liquids" means liqu^d*"?^ ^^^ natural gas products and other hydrocarbons such as isopentane, propane, and butane, or mixtures thereof, recovered from natural gas by means other than refining. Within such maximum level, imports of unfinished oils shall not exceed such percentum of the permissible imports of crude oil and unfinished oils as the Secretary may determine and imports of finished products (other than residual fuel oil to be used as fuel) shall not exceed the level of imports of such products into these districts during the calendar year 1957. (c) The Secretary, having taken into account the standards prescribed for allocation of imports of crude oil and unfinished oils into Puerto Rico, any actions taken pursuant to section 4, and shipments from Puerto Rico into Districts I - IV, shall establish for each allocation period a maximum level of imports into Puerto Rico of crude oil and unfinished oils which, in his judgment, is consonant with the objectives of this proclamation. The maximum level of imports of finished products into Puerto Rico for a particular allocation period shall be approximately the level of such imports during all or part of the calendar year 1958 as determined by the Secretary to be consonant with the purposes of this proclamation or such higher level as the Secretary may determine is required to meet a demand in Puerto Rico for finished products that would not otherwise be met. 3. Subparagraphs 1, 2, and 3 of paragraph (b) of section 3 of Proclamation 3279, as amended, are severally amended to read as follows:

(b)(1) With respect to the allocation of imports of crude oil and unfinished oils into Districts I - IV and into District V, such regulations shall provide, to the extent possible, for a fair and equitable distribution among persons having refinery capacity in these districts in relation to refinery inputs (excluding inputs of crude oil or unfinished oils imported pursuant to clause (4) of paragraph (a) of Section 1). The Secretary may by regulation also provide for the making of such allocations to persons having petrochemical plants in these districts in relation to inputs to such plants (excluding inputs of crude oil or unfinished oils imported pursuant to clause (4) of paragraph (a) of section 1). Provision may be made in the regulations for the making of such allocations on the basis of graduated scales of inputs. Provision shall be made in the regulations for the gradual reduction of allocations made on the basis of the last allocations of imports ot crude oil under the Voluntary Oil Import Program, except that provision shall be made for a more rapid reduction of those allocations based on allocations under the Voluntary Oil Import Program which reflected imports of crude oil in the category now covered by clause (4) of paragraph (a) of section 1. (2) Such regulations shall provide for the allocation of imports of crude oil and unfinished oils into Puerto Rico among persons having refinery capacity in Puerto Rieo in the calendar year 1964 on the basis of estimated requirements, acceptable to the Secretary, of each such person for crude oil and unfinished oils. The regulations shall provide also that if, during a period comprising the same number of months as an allocation period and ending three months before

In addition the Secretary may provide by regulation for the making, in instances in which the Secretary determines that such action would not impair the accomplishment of the objectives of this proclamation, of allocations of imports of crude oil and unfinished oils into Puerto Rico to persons as feedstocks for facilities which will be established or for the operation of facilities which are established and which in the judgment of the Secretary will promote substantial expansion of employment in Puerto Rico through industrial development, and such regulations shall provide for the imposition of such conditions and restrictions upon such allocations as the Secretary may deem necessary to assure that any imports so allocated are used for the purposes for which an allocation is made and that the holder of such an allocation fulfills commitments made in connection with the making of the allocation. (3) Except for crude oil or unfinished oils imported pursuant to special relief granted pursuant to section 4, such regulations shall require that imported crude oil and unfinished oils be processed in the licensee's refinery or petrochemical plant, except that exchanges for domestic crude or unfinished oils may be made if otherwise lawful, if effected on a current basis and reported in advance to the Secretary, and if the domestic crude or unfinished oils are processed in the licensee's refinery or petrochemical plant. 4.

Proclamation 3695 use DAY By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The United Service Organizatioris—the USO—was created nearly twenty-five years ago to fill a vital human need on the part of millions of young Americans serving in our Armed Forces. I t was created in 1941 to provide a breath of home for American service men and women, wherever in the world they might find themselves. Today these initials are known to all Americans, for millions of us have either helped the USO or have been served by it. I n unfamiliar cities, in countless foreign lands, the familiar U S O sign has welcomed more than 20 million Americans in uniform. I t is serving today no less than in the past. I n a world where the burden of arms is part of the price of freedom, almost three million Americans are still in uniform. Almost one million of them are overseas. Almost two hundred thousand of them are in Vietnam. Wherever they go, the USO goes with them. The USO brings more than entertainment. No matter how difficult the conditions, the USO strives to create an environment where

a service man or woman can relax, listen to a record, meet friends, watch a show, get help with personal problems, or write a letter home. The needs of the human heart do not change. Wherever young Americans are stationed, the soldier's age-old questions are still asked: "Does anybody know I'm here?" "Does anybody care?" The U S O is the American public's way of answering, "Yes." NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim February 4, 1966, as USO Day, and urge the people of the United States to give their enthusiastic support to the United Service Organizations.

Proclamation 3698 NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK, 1966

January 19, 1966

gy jhe President of the United States of America A Proclamation

The family boating trip has now become almost as common in American life as the family picnic. I t is a profound testimony to the strength of our American system and the scope of our prosperity that the recreation of boating, once the pastime of a privileged few, is now enjoyed by millions of families from all walks of life. With the steadily increasing traffic on our waterways, however, it is vital that no efforts be spared to keep boating safe as well as stimulating. The knowledge and practice of safe boating principles can make hours spent upon the water measurably safer and more pleasurable. Since 1958, when the Congress first requested the President to annually proclaim National Safe Boating Week, the rise in boating accidents has been largely checked. This record can be maintained— and improved—only if the nation's boating organizations. Federal and State agencies, and the boating industry continue their efforts to inform the public of the importance of safe boating practices. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES O F AMERICA, do hereby designate the week beginning July 3, 1966 as National Safe Boating Week. I urge every American who uses our waterways to re-examine his boating habits during this Week and decide what he can do, individually and together with his countrymen, to reduce accidents and prevent the needless waste of lives on the water. I also invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States of America to join in this observance and ask them to exert their influence in the cause of safe boating during this Week and throughout the entire year. IN 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 19th day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-six, and of [SEAL] the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninetieth.

Proclamation 3699 NATIONAL SKI WEEK By the President of the United States of America

January 21, 1966

A Proclamation

Skiing in the United States has now become one of our most popular sports. This active and invigorating pastime provides not only recreation, but an unsurpassed opportunity to enjoy the great scenic beauty of our majestic mountains. Its growing popularity has caused skiing to become of great economic importance to many areas of the United States, where our Nation has now developed some of the finest skiers, and the finest ski facilities, in the world. I t was for this reason that the Congress, by a joint resolution approved January 21, 1966, requested the President to issue a proclamation designating the period beginning January 21, 1966, and ending January 30, 1966, as National Ski Week. I am most happy to honor that request, and do hereby proclaim the period from January 21 through January 30, 1966, as National Ski Week. I call upon individual skiers, sports organizations, community leaders, and other interested citizens to arrange appropriate observances of National Ski Week and to join in the effort to improve our ski facilities and to improve the skill of the skiers representing the United States of America in international competitions. 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 21st day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-six, and of the [SEAL] Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninetieth.

Proclamation 3700 AMERICAN HEART MONTH, 1966 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

Heart disease continues to shorten or cripple the lives of thousands of Americans. Each year, over half of all the deaths in our nation result from this affliction. Deaths or disabilities inflicted by heart disease which strike men and women of all ages, are both tragic to the victims and costly to our economy. Yet much of this suffering could be prevented. Heart disease can be conquered.

Continued progress in our nation-wide attack on heart disease requires the personal interest and support of all our citizens, not only through Government-sponsored programs but also on behalf of the research, education, and community services sustained by the American Heart Association—a national voluntary heart agency and partner of the National Heart Institute of the Public Health Service. For these reasons, and because the Congress, by a joint resolution approved December 30, 1963 (77 Stat. 843), requested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating February as American Heart Month. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of February 1966 as American Heart Month, and 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 everyone to enlist in this heart crusade and to support the vital work that will enable us to reach the goal of healthy hearts for all. IN 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 25th day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-six, and of the [SEAL] Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninetieth.

Proclamation 3701 NATIONAL POISON PREVENTION WEEK 1966 January 27, 1966

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

36 USC 165.

I t was noted long a^o that, "Poison kills only where there is no antidote." But no antidote will ever take the place of precaution. For when precaution is used, antidotes become unnecessary. Last year, more than 600,000 American children were the victims of accidental poisoning. Nearly 500 of these children died. These poisonings took a variety of forms. Some were from medicines and some were from household products. But all had one thing in common; carelessness. To store drugs and poisons within easy reach of children, or to store them along side of food, is as foolish as leaving a loaded pistol lying around the house—and as dangerous. To alert adults to the dangers of accidental poisoning and to encourage them to take appropriate preventive measures, the Congress, by a ]oint resolution approved September 26, 1961 (75 Stat. 681),

Proclamation 3702 SAVE YOUR VISION WEEK, 1966 By the President of the United States of America

January 28, 1966

A Proclamation

"He that is stricken blind cannot forget the precious treasure of his eyesight lost." Those words of Shakespeare are relevant to us today as we proclaim Save Your Vision Week, 1966. They remind us that the gift of sight is one of the glories of life. To the child it is a red balloon... a mother's smile... a form in a passing cloud. To the adult, it is wisdom from a book... a great painting... a tree with autumn leaves. Those words of Shakespeare remind us, too, that the eyesight which most of us so take for granted in our daily lives can be snatched from any of us, almost without warning. Each year some 30,000 Americans go blind. Half of these cases of blindness could be prevented—by early detection and proper treatment. Modern medical science can cure many diseases of the eye that were formerly considered hopeless. Our task now is to apply such cures where they are needed. The Federal Government is proud of the contribution it is making in this effort. Last summer, through Project Headstart, we discovered more than 22,000 underprivileged children who were suffering from abnormal visual defects. These children are now being helped. But much still remains to be done if we are to educate the public to the importance of proper care and treatment of their eyes. I t was for this reason that 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.

Proclamation 3704 February 14, 1966

CANCER CONTROL MONTH, 1966 gy jl,g President of the United States of America A Proclamation

36 USC 150.

Every two minutes cancer strikes a man or a women or a child in this country. I t ranks second in the causes of all deaths. This represents untold human suffering, pain, and hardship, as well as a staggering loss to our economy. Scientists, physicians, and official and voluntary health agencies, through research and cancer-control programs, have made remarkable progress in reducing this heavy toll. Their efforts deserve the most widespread commendation and encouragement. Further progress can be made if we unite all our Nation's health resources. Recent advances in bio-medical research indicate that an expanded attack on cancer may lead to its ultimate conquest. The Eighty-ninth Congress has given us the tools for such an expanded attack. I t has enacted legislation to promote the establishment of regional medical programs of research, training, and demonstrations of patient care aimed at combatting cancer and other such major diseases. These programs will enable us to develop new knowledge of cancer and to make available to patients the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment. Any program for the prevention and control of cancer requires the support and cooperation of all our people. For this reason, the Con^j.ggg^ by a joint resolution of March 28, 1938 (52 Stat. 148),'requested the President to issue annually a proclamation setting apart the month of April as Cancer Control Month. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of April 1966 as Cancer Control Month; and I invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to issue similar proclamations. I also ask the medical and allied health professions, the communications 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, 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.

The Red Cross is a symbol of mercy throughout the world. I t is our first assurance of help in time of disaster. I t accompanies the soldier on the battlefield, and even into the prison camps of the enemy. Our role in the international Red Cross movement is carried on by the American National Red Cross. No group of Americans performs a more humanitarian service, or is more deserving of support, than the 2,000,000 volunteers enrolled in the 3,500 Red Cross Chapters across our nation. This year alone, the Red Cross will respond to the needs of the victims of some 12,000 to 14,000 disasters. I t will supply half of all the blood used by our doctors and hospitals. I t will save countless lives by teaching more than 50 million Americans the skills of First Aid and Water Safety. Above all, it will be a firm and constant source of service and help to the members of our Armed Forces and their families, both here and overseas. This faithful and unselfish work of millions of Red Cross volunteers depends upon the unstinting support of all Americans. The Red Cross works for all; it needs the help of all. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America and Honorary Chairman of the American National Red Cross, do hereby designate March, 1966 as Red Cross Month; and I urge all Americans to give this voluntary organization their full support for the benefit of all of our citizens.

Proclamation 3706 NATIONAL FARM SAFETY WEEK, 1966 February 24, 1966

By the President of thfe United States of America A Proclamation

American farmers have achieved more progress during the past three decades than in all our previous history. Thanks to that progress, a single farmer today can do all the work that once was performed by four. One American farmer today feeds and clothes himself and 32 others—and this is the true foundation of our national abundance. There is one area of farm life, however, which still needs much improvement. Accidents continue to cost the lives of thousands of men, women, and children on our farms, and disable nearly 750,000 more each year. This grievous and unnecessary waste of human and economic resources, plus the profound physical and psychological damage suffered by members of farm families, causes me to view the rural accident problem as a matter of national concern. For this reason, I urge all farm families to help achieve our goal of safer rural communities by eliminating those hazards and unsafe practices that cause or contribute to accidents. Progress toward this goal is the objective of National Farm Safety Week, 1966. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby call on the people of the Nation to observe the week beginning July 24, 1966, as National Farm Safety Week. I urge all families who live on farms, and all persons and groups serving or allied with agriculture, to unite for safety, and apply full energy and determination to the vital task of reducing accidents at work, in homes, at recreation, and on the roadways. I N W I T N E S S WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

Proclamation 3708 NATIONAL MARITIME DAY, 1966 March 22, 1966

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation

48 Stat. 7 3. 36 USC 145.

Today the American Merchant Marine continues a long tradition of essential service to the American economy and defense. Throughout our history, American ships have contributed to the development of our modern economy, as well as to the strength and unity of the country. As this Nation's economy continues to expand, we will continue to need ships—fast, modern descendants of the famous "Clippers"—to carry our products to the far corners of the earth and return with the raw materials essential to our national prosperity. Our merchant marine is also vital to our friends all over the world. The transportation of surplus commodities to many of the underdeveloped countries is an important part of our foreign aid program. As long as the United States may be called upon to defend the Free World's interests anywhere on the globe, our ships are necessary to insure continuous supply of the military material that helps to prevent or defeat aggression by any country. The complex task of creating and maintaining a merchant marine adequate to our needs for peacetime commerce, and sufficient for defense purposes, requires the efforts of government, management and labor and the support of all Americans. To remind the American people of the important role of the American Merchant Marine in the life of this Nation, the Congress in 1933 designated May 22 of each year as National Maritime Day and requested the President to issue a proclamation annually in observance of that day. May 22, 1819, is the day the SS Savannah^ the first steamship to cross the Atlantic, set forth on its historic journey into the future. Since May 22 falls on Sunday this year, it is appropriate that the day be observed on the following Monday. 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 23, 1966, 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. DONE at the City of Washington this 22nd day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-six, and of [SEAL] the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninetieth.

Proclamation 3711 SENIOR CITIZENS MONTH, MAY 1966 By The President of the United States of America A Proclamation

A basic goal of an enlightened society must be to provide opportunities which enable older people to keep and strengthen their independence and dignity. For too many Americans, the later years still mean loneliness, idleness, lack of purpose and meaning. Today we have the tools to change this. We have the power to enrich the lives of older Americans and to benefit from their skills, their wisdom and their experience. Nearly 18,500,000 American men and women are 65 years old and over. Each day almost 3900 Americans reach 65. For all of them, a new life is now possible. Programs proposed by this Administration and enacted into law by the 89th Congress are being launched and expanded in the largest effort on behalf of the aging in our history. Now we can provide greater opportunities for our older Americans to use their abilities and to participate in useful work and rewarding leisure. We can declare a new day for older Americans. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the month of May 1966 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: A N E W D A Y FOR THE OLDER AMERICAN. Let us make this month memorable by the dedicated efforts of each citizen to provide those benefits and opportunities within community programs which will add satisfaction and dignity to the lives of aging Americans. I also invite the Governors of the States, the Governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, and appropriate officials in other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to join in the observance of Senior Citizens Month. 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.
