From Moses at the Red Sea to Jesus preparing to feed the multitudes, the Scriptures summon us to words and deeds of gratitude, even before divine blessings are fully perceived. From Washington kneeling at Valley Forge to the prayer of an astronaut circling the moon, our own history repeats that summons and proves its practicality. Today, in an age of too much fashionable despair, the world more than ever needs to hear America's perennial harvest message: "Take heart! Give thanks! To see clearly about us is to rejoice; and to rejoice is to worship the Father; and to worship Him is to receive more blessings still." At this Thanksgiving time our country can look back with special gratitude across the events of a year which has brought more progress toward lasting peace than any other year for a generation past; and we can look forward with trust in Divine Providence toward the opportunities which peace will bring. Truly our cup runs over with the bounty of God—our lives, our liberties, and our loved ones; our worldly goods and our spiritual heritage; the beauty of our land, the breadth of our horizons, and the promise of peace that crowns it all. For all of this, let us now humbly give thanks. .

National Farm-City Week, 1972 November 17, 1972

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation The breadwinners of our national family—^those whose hard work helps to provide the rest of us with food to eat and clothes to wear— are America's nearly 3 million farmers. American agriculture leads our own economy and the world in productivity. The bounty of our farms is an indispensable element in the steadily rising standard of living for our cities—indeed for every American community large or small. This is the strong bond of interdependence and mutual benefit which links farm people to city people throughout this country, and to peoples in other countries all over the globe, wherever the agricultural exports of our heartland alleviate hunger and so promote the cause of peace. National Farm-City Week is an occasion for wider recognition of this interdependence and for new efforts to increase cooperation between farm and city people. It is a time for renewal of our commitment to balanced national growth and to assuring the farmer of a fair share in the national prosperity to which he contributes so much. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of November 17 through November 23, 1972, as National Farm-City Week. I encourage all citizens, especially leaders of agricultural organizations,

National Family Week By the President of the United States of America

November 18, 1972

A Proclamation As prospects brighten for a lasting peace in the world, we can hope to approach more closely the age-old ideal of a single, harmonious family of man. As we work toward that great goal, however, we must never forget that our starting point—the center of our affections and the wellspring of our self-renewal—must be the basic family circle. Parent and child, husband and wife, brother and sister, all truly mean "home" to every human being. No institution can ever take the family's place in giving meaning to human life and a stable structure to society; indeed, as a wise philosopher observed thousands of years ago, "the root of the state is in the family." The pressures of our modern age make this a time of challenge for families in America, but every community has its inspiring examples of families which have risen to the demand and made the time of challenge a time of glory. Our long-cherished American observances of Mother's Day and Father's Day are fittingly complemented by this new idea of a National Family Week, which this year will coincide with the Thanksgiving holiday—a time when families traditionally reunite, and when the family unit itself should stand high on that list of blessings for which we offer our thanks to God.

Bill of Rights Day and Human Rights Day and Week December 9, 1972

ffy

ffig President of the United States of America

A Proclamation The ink was barely dry on the Constitution of the United States of America in the autumn of 1787 when leading patriots and statesmen of the young Republic took up the cry for amendments affording written guarantees of basic human freedoms under the proposed national government. "A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth..." Thomas Jefferson wrote, "and what no just government should refuse or rest on inference."

1.

u s e prec. title

The idea that every individual was endowed by his Creator with rights no sovereign or majority could take away was thought dangerous and radical over much of the globe in those days, but it ran deep in the American grain even then. The very first Congress prof>osed a Bill of Rights, and by 1791 its proposals had become the first ten amendments to our Constitution. Since that time, exactly as James Madison predicted to Jefferson that they would do, "the political truths declared in that solemn manner (have acquired) by degrees the character of fundamental maxims of free government." They have inspired our own Nation's accelerating efforts to assure every American full equality and dignity before the

law, and they have shone as a beacon for the rising aspirations of peoples around the world. Finally in 1948, a little more than a century and a half after American freedoms were enshrined in the supreme law of this land, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was approved by the United Nations General Assembly to assert the inalienable liberties of all men and women in every land.. Symbolic of the common principles and shared spirit which link these two great charters is the fact that the anniversaries of their adoption occur less than one week apart each December. As we observe those anniversaries once again this year, let us gratefully tal^e stock of the progress made in realizing the full promise of freedom for America and the world, and let us renew our commitment to continuing that progress during 1973. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim December 15, 1972, as Bill of Rights Day, and December 10, 1972, as Human Rights Day, and I call upon the American people to observe the week beginning December 10, 1972, as Human Rights Week. I ask every American to make this observance a time of rededication to the cherished values embodied in our Bill of Rights and in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Wright Brothers Day, 1972

. By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation In the spring of 1900, a bicycle maker named Wilbur Wright wrote to a friend: "For some years I have been afflicted with the belief that flight is possible for man. My disease has increased in severity and I feel that it will soon cost me an increased amount of money if not my life." Orville and Wilbur Wright followed their belief "that flight is possible for man", in spite of ridicule, danger, hardship, and failure, to a thin

strip of sand on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. There, on December 17, 1903, Wilbur tossed a coin with his brother, lost the toss, and watched as Orville made the first successful flight in a mechanically-propelled airplane. Through the courage, the genius, and the tenacity of the Wright brothers, man was no longer earth-bound. That epic flight sixty-nine years ago made the world a smaller place, brought men and nations into closer proximity through trade and travel, and opened the doors to the Universe. 36 USC 169.

To commemorate the historic achievements of the Wright brothers, the Congress, by a joint resolution of December 17, 1963 (77 Stat. 402), designated the seventeenth day of December of each year as Wright Brothers Day and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of this Nation, and the local and national government officials, to observe Wright Brothers Day, December 17, 1972, with appropriate ceremonies and activities, both to recall the accomplishments of the Wright brothers and to provide a stimulus to aviation in this country and throughout the world.

Pending final decisions and announcements on those proposals, he has recommended that the Secretary of the Interior be delegated authority to provide interim allocations for the allocation period commencing January 1, 1973, and for succeeding allocation periods.

1145 Post, p. iiss.

The Director, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has also recommended that occasional shortages of certain finished petroleum products important to the national security should be relieved by delegating authority to the Secretary of the Interior to permit additional imports from the United States Virgin Islands. Such delegated authority then could be used with the Director's existing authorities relating to Puerto Rico and the use of Western Hemisphere crude oil in the development of programs to assist in meeting these shortages. The Director, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has found that such changes would not adversely affect the national security. I agree with the findings and recommendations of the Director and deem it necessary and consistent with the security objectives of Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, to adjust the imports of petroleum and petroleum products, and to improve the administration of the program, as hereinafter provided. 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 the date of this Proclamation, Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, is further amended as follows: 1.

Section 3A is amended to read as follows: "Commencing with the allocation period January 1, 1973, through December 31, 1973, the Secretary, with the concurrence of the Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, is authorized to make an interim allocation for any allocation period or portion thereof to any person who held an allocation of imports of crude oil and unfinished oils

However, the Secretary may adjust the allocation to any person limited by the previous sentence if such person would have been eligible for a larger allocation in 1973 under the regulations applicable during the allocation period commencing January 1, 1972. Any license issued under such interim allocation may be utilized for imports hereafter entering the United States prior to December 31, 1972, if authorized by the Secretary.

A Proclamation TO THE PEOPLE O F THE UNITED STATES: It is my sad duty to announce officially the death of Harry S Truman, thirty-third President of the United States, on December 26, 1972.

that moment with courage and vision. His far-sighted leadership in the postwar era has helped ever since to preserve peace and freedom in the world. Confronted during his Presidency with a momentous series of challenges, his strength and spirit proved equal to them all. His fortitude never wavered, and his faith in America never flagged. President Truman had a deep respect for the office he held and for the people he served. He gave himself unstintingly to the duties of the Presidency while he held it, and in the years afterward he honorably supported and wisely counseled each of his successors. The Nation to which he gave so much will honor his memory in admiration and respect, and the other countries for which he helped keep freedom alive will remember his name with gratitude. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in tribute to the memory of President Truman, and as an expression of public sorrow, do hereby direct that the flag of the United States be displayed at half-staff at the White House and on all buildings, grounds, and Naval vessels of the United States for a period of thirty days from the day of his death. I also direct that for the same length of time the representatives of the United States in foreign countries shall make similar arrangements for the display of the flag at half-staff over their Embassies, Legations, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and stations. I hereby order that suitable honors be rendered by units of the Armed Forces under orders of the Secretary of Defense on the day of the funeral. I do further appoint December 28, 1972 to be a National Day of Mourning throughout the United States. I recommend that the people assemble on that day in their respective places of worship, there to pay homage to the memory of President Truman and to seek God's continued blessing on our land and on this His servant. I invite the people of the world who share our grief to join us in this solemn observance.

 The ancient Maya sages sometimes likened the earth to a caldron, cum, because as nutriment is cooked in such utensil, so also all that exists on the surface of the earth is first elaborated in its bosom. Sometimes, likewise, on account of its rotundity, and because it contains the germs of all things, they compared the earth to a calabash, kum, full of seeds. These similes seem to have been favorite ones, since they made frequent use of them in illustrating their explanations of the geological phenomena which have convulsed our planet. Perhaps also the second reason was what caused them to generally adopt a circular shape for the characters they invented to give material expression to the multitudinous conceptions of their mind (unless it be that they gave that form to these characters from that of their skull, containing the brain, organ of thought). The fact is that their symbol for the name Mayach, of the peninsula of Yucatan, affects the shape of a calabash, Avith its tendril just sprouted — a yach or ach, as the natives call a young sprout.

A Proclamation The Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has found that increases in domestic production in 1973 will not be sufficient to supply the expanded demand for petroleum and petroleum products during the year. He has therefore recommended an increase of 915,000 barrels per day in licensed imports into Districts I-IV, including the Canadian component of those imports.

p. 1187.

The Director, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has also found that there may be a threat of temporary shortage of No. 2 fuel oil in the current season and has recommended that the requirement for allocations of such fuel oil be suspended for the period January 1, 1973, through April 30, 1973. He has also recommended certain technical amendments to Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, relating to foreign trade zones, gilsonite, oil shale and liquefied gases. In each instance above, the Director has found that his recommended changes would not adversely affect the national security. The Director, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has taken into account the estimates of the Secretary of the Interior of the quantity of crude oil and natural gas liquids that will be produced in Districts I-IV, adjusted to reflect other national security determinations, and has recommended that Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, be further amended to adjust imports in conformity with these findings.

National Jaycee Week, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

January 21, 1973

A Proclamation The Jaycee idea began with a handful of young men in St. Louis 53 years ago. Today, it embraces some 325,000 members in the more than 6,000 American communities, that have chapters of the United States Jaycees, and it enriches the lives of communities in 80 countries around the world through the affiliates of Junior Chamber International. Yet even in its maturity the Jaycees organization retains a youthful outlook, and even with its global scope it continues to build on the individual member—first helping him be the best man he can be, then helping him help his fellow man in need, one to one. The Jaycee cares about people, and he shows it. He cares about progress, and he does something about it. He lives by the creed that "Service to humanity is the best work of life," and he throws himself into that work both as a vocation and as an avocation. He is the kind of young man this country will need in great numbers to help meet the challenges of our Bicentennial Era and our coming third century. It is fitting that we should annually give special recognition and encouragement to him and to his organization. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning January 21, 1973, as National Jaycee Week—a time for the expression of America's gratitude for the many significant contributions of the U.S. Jaycees. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentyfirst day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventythree, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Announcing the Death of Lyndon Baines Johnson January 23, 1973

^ ^ ^^^^ President of the United States of America

A Proclamation TO THE PEOPLE O F THE UNITED STATES: It is my sad duty to announce officially the death of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the thirty-sixth President of the United States, on January 22, 1973. President Johnson served his country for more than thirty years as Congressman, Senator, Vice President and President. Yet it can be said of Lyndon Johnson that he served his country all his life, for his was a complete and wholehearted love of our Nation. From his early days as a teacher, to his last days as a distinguished elder statesman, he did his best - to make the promise and the wonder of America become as real in the lives of all his countrymen as it was in his own. He once said that he was a free man, an American, a United States Senator, and a Democrat, in that order. He was also a great patriot. Although he will no longer walk among us, Lyndon Johnson's influence on our times, which often seemed so much larger than life, cannot be stolen from us by death. Not only the things that he did, but also the spirit with which he did them, will be remembered long after time heals our sorrow at his leaving. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in tribute to the memory of President Johnson, and as an expression of public sorrow, do hereby direct that the flag of the United States be displayed at half-staff at the White House and on all buildings, grounds, and Naval vessels of the United States for a period of thirty days from the day of his death. I also direct that for the same length of time the representatives of the United States in foreign countries shall make similar arrangements for the display of the flag at half-staff over their Embassies, Legations, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and stations. I hereby order that suitable honors be rendered by units of the Armed Forces under orders of the Secretary of Defense on the day of the funeral. I do further appoint Thursday, January 25, 1973 to be a National Day of Mourning throughout the United States. I recommend that the people assemble on that day in their respective places of worship, there to pay

As a people with a deep and abiding faith, we know that no great work can be accomplished without the aid and inspiration of Almighty God. No time could be more fitting for grateful prayer and meditation than the opening moment of the peace we have achieved with His help.

I urge all men and women of goodwill to join the prayerful hope that this moment marks not only the end of the war in Vietnam, but the beginning of a new era of world peace and understanding for all mankind. I authorize the flying of the American flag at the appointed hour, and I call on all the people of the United States to observe this moment with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

International Clergy Week in the United States January 27, 1973

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

A Proclamation Mediators between God and man and healers among people, clergymen are the custodians of the sacred. To be a clergyman is a lofty calling which often entails difficulty and continuing sacrifice. Clergy serve their fellow men in parishes, hospitals, war zones, classrooms, orphanages, prisons, soup kitchens. In developing countries they assist in forming cooperatives, running playgrounds, relieving the hungry, sick and homeless. Clergymen of the world contribute vastly to the cohesion, stability and growth of civilization. They urge respect for law, minister to humanitarian needs, counsel the afflicted, exhort to a higher morality, preserve and transmit the religious traditions of the ages. Ante,

p. 4.

To encourage all Americans to pay tribute to the clergymen of the world, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 163, has requested the President to proclaim the week commencing January 28, 1973, as International Clergy Week in the United States. It is therefore in this spirit of appreciation for the world's clergy and in recognition of their singular contribution to the spiritual, social and cultural evolution of society, that I, Richard Nixon, President of the United States of America, proclaim the week beginning January 28, 1973, as International Clergy Week in the United States. I call upon all Americans to honor clergymen of all faiths, in this country and abroad, by appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentyseventh day of January in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred seventythree and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh.

Save Your Vision Week, 1973

By the President of the United States of America

January 29, 1973

A Proclamation Like many precious possessions, eyesight is usually taken for granted until it is lost. Yet the preservation of vision—one of life's greatest blessings—need not be left to chance. There are steps all of us can take to help keep our eyes healthy for a lifetime of useful service. Simple safety precautions can substantially reduce the number of accidents which cause loss of vision. Potential sources of eye injury in the home, at work, and at school can be sought out and eliminated. However, most blindness in the United States is the result not of injury, but of disease. Proper attention to hygiene, good nutrition, and, most important, regular professional eye examinations can minimize the risk of visual disability. Glaucoma, one of the most common eye diseases, can be detected through a simple and painless test and, if detected early, can usually be arrested and controlled. Many elderly Americans are unnecessarily blind because of cataracts. It is tragic that unwarranted fear of cataract surgery—successful in 95 percent of the cases—keeps many of our older citizens from regaining their sight. For visual loss that can now neither be prevented nor cured, research such as that conducted by the Federal Government through the National Eye Institute offers new hope. To encourage greater awareness of the importance of preserving sight, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved December 30, 1963 (77 Stat. 629), requested the President to proclaim the first week in March of each year as Save Your Vision Week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of March 4, 1973, as Save Your Vision Week. I invite the Governors of the States and appropriate local government officials to issue similar proclamations, and I call upon the Nation's mass communications media to join in bringing to the attention of all Americans the importance of preventive vision care.

National Safe Boating Week, 1973 January 29, 1973

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation As more and more Americans in all parts of our Nation turn to boating as a leisure time activity, we need to give increasing attention to the safety requirements of the millions who participate in this healthy, challenging outdoor sport. 36 USC 161.

Aware of this need, the Congress approved a joint resolution on June 4, 1958 (72 Stat. 179) requesting that the President proclaim an annual National Safe Boating week during the week including July 4th of each year. K, NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning July 1, 1973, as National Safe Boating Week. I urge all Americans who use our waterways to take advantage of the numerous boating safety courses offered by governmental and private organizations to help make their stay afloat as safe as it is enjoyable. These courses, sponsored by the United States Coast Guard, the Coast Guard Auxiliary, the United States Power Squadrons, the American Red Cross and various State agencies, provide the average citizen with the information needed for the safe operation of recreational boats. I particularly urge the novice and the occasional boatman, the one who operates a small boat on only a few weekends of the year, to consider his own and his family's safety and to be prepared for the unexpected by taking advantage of the sound safety information such courses offer. I ako invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa, and the Commissioner of the District of Columbia to provide for the observance of this week. . ^- V: IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred

American Heart Month, 1973 By the President of the United States of America

February 5, 1973

A Proclamation Diseases of the heart and blood vessels impose an intolerable burden on the American people. They afflict one-eighth of our population—more than 27 million citizens. With every 30 seconds that pass, cardiovascular diseases claim another American life. The toll for 1973 will be staggering: more than one million lives, more than 200 million man-years lost from work and some $30 billion in lost income and the cost of medical care. In 1948, the National Heart Act launched a nationwide effort to help ^2 sta^. 454. alleviate this burden. This landmark bill created the Federal Govern- "°tement's National Heart Institute, bringing the public sector into a close alliance with the private sector, as exemplified by the American Heart Association, a national voluntary health agency. In the nearly twenty-five years that have followed, science and medicine have made dramatic advances against this dread enemy. As cardiovascular medicine and surgery have undergone sweeping changes, new hope has been given to thousands of heart patients. Still heart and blood vessel diseases remain our Nation's deadliest health threat, and our cardiovascular disease rate is the second highest in the world. June of this year will mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the National Heart Act. On September 19, 1972,1 signed into law a greatly expanded version of this authorization—the National Heart, Blood Vessel, Lung, and Blood Act of 1972—calling for significant increases in cardiovascular ^^ 5'^c ili' research and prevention programs. This legislation marks yet another '^°^^milestone in our continued fight against preventable heart attack and stroke. To encourage a continuing effective attack on cardiovascular diseases, 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.

National Inventors' Day February 6, 1973

Bj the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation In 1646, the Massachusetts General Court granted an immigrant ironworker named Joseph Jenks the first patent for machinery issued in what was then British North America—a 14 year monopoly on watermills for the "speedy dispatch of much worke with few hands." That was the beginning of what has become a long and proud tradition in this country. '' The creators of our Republic, themselves the inventors of a new form of government, recognized the important role which inventors would play in achieving national progress and, accordingly, gave the Congress the Constitutional authority to grant inventors, for limited times, the exclusive rights to their discoveries. In 1790, Congress did that by establishing the United States Patent System and granting Samuel Hopkins the first patent. History is filled with evidence of the success of this system. The names of Whitney, McCormick, Morse, Bell, and Edison and the cotton gin, the reaper, the telegraph and telephone, the light bulb, the airplane, transistor, television, are familiar examples of American inventiveness.

Ours is a proud history of technological achievement, but, as I noted in my message to the Congress on Science and Technology last March, it is not enough to take pride in the achievements of the past. Great and complex challenges at home and abroad demand further progress and new technology. Today, as in our past, the inventor must play a crucial role in determining whether we meet these challenges. In honor of the important role played by inventors in promoting progress in the useful arts and in recognition of the invaluable contribution of inventors to the welfare of our people, the Congress has by Public Law 92-457 designated February 11, 1973 as National Inventors' Day.

,,::

Although the thirty-day mourning period which is traditional upon the passing of a President does not conclude for President Johnson until February 21, Mrs. Johnson has expressed to me her feeling that the most fitting tribute both to her husband's memory and to the heroism of the returning prisoners would be to return the flag of the United States from half-staff to full staff on the day the prisoners come home. Lyndon Johnson gave himself completely in the service of his country. As Commander in Chief, he had the highest respect and affection for the men in uniform who gave so much on the battlefields and in the prison camps. On the night that he renounced his candidacy for re-election in order to seek an end to the war, he said of those brave men: "The peace that will bring them home someday will come." Now that peace with honor has come, and now that the men who made that peace possible are coming home, he would surely want the flag to be flying high.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in expression of the Nation's gratitude for the service rendered and the sacrifices made by those Americans who have been prisoners of war in Indochina, those still missing, those who gave their lives, and their families and loved ones, do hereby direct sa^stat^W?^' ^^^^ ^^^ provisions of Proclamation 3044 of March 1, 1954, and of 36 USC 175 Proclamation 4180 of January 23, 1973, with respect to display of note.

I urge all Americans to join in this observance by displaying the flag at their homes, places of business, and public buildings on the day of return; but I also request that the expression of public sorrow in tribute to the memory of President Lyndon B, Johnson as proclaimed in Proclamation 4180 shall not be diminished. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of February, 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.

grams of education, product labeling, dosage limitations, and special packaging. We can be grateful, too, that thanks to the Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970, many products previously responsible for acci- ^^ use U7i° dental poisonings among children are now being sold in special "child- note, proof" packaging. But much still remains to be done. The accidental poisonings that continue to occur must still be a matter of grave concern. The natural curiosity of our children, their limitless ingenuity, their inclination to imitate adults, and their desire to taste whatever can be reached sometimes may lead them into dangers that are difficult to control by safety measures of any sort. All of us, therefore, must be constantly alert to the potential hazards of medicines and household products and must exercise every precaution in using and storing such substances. To encourage such preventive measures, the Congress, in a joint resolution approved September 26, 1961 (75 Stat. 681), requested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating the third week in March as National Poison Prevention Week.

36 USC les.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning March 18, 1973, as National Poison Prevention Week. I direct all appropriate agencies of the Federal Government to participate actively in programs designed to promote maximum protection of our people against accidental poisonings, particularly among children. Further, I invite all State and local governments and private organizations and individuals to share in this national effort. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 28th day of February, 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.

The services of the Red Cross assist many kinds of people. They help provide lifesaving blood for the ill and injured; help restore the shattered lives of disaster victims; help our servicemen, veterans, and their families in periods of emergency; and help save lives and lessen suffering through training in first aid, water safety, and simple nursing skills. ,,. While these could be called the basic purposes of the Red Cross, the organization also seeks out new areas of concern in American life. The Red Cross has helped the elderly to obtain government food assistance, the veteran to readjust to civilian life, the drug abuser to seek help, the migrant worker to better his living standards, and the student to obtain tutoring assistance. Although the Red Cross receives the cooperation of many Federal, State, and local agencies, it derives its major financial support from the voluntary contributions of the American people. During the past year the Red Cross has been operating under an especially heavy financial burden because of outlays for disaster relief following the flood in Rapid City, South Dakota, and the Hurricane Agnes tragedy. I urge every American to help ensure that the Red Cross has the funds and volunteer manpower to fulfill its responsibilities during the year ahead. Helping the Red Cross—the Good Neighbor—continue its wide range of assistance programs is one way in which each of us can help our communities and our country. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America and Honorary Chairman of the American National Red Cross, do hereby designate March 1973 as Red Cross Month, a month when every citizen is asked to join, serve, and contribute. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this third day of March, 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.
