100 STAT. 4478 Proclamation 5514 of July 29, 1986 National Nuclear Medicine Week, 1986 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Nuclear medicine is an invaluable medical resource that contributes significantly to improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of patients in the United States. It also provides powerful tools for biomedical research. Today, nuclear medicine allows physicians to probe the bodies of patients without using a scalpel. Three-dimensional images of organs such as the heart and kidneys can be obtained, leading to early diagnosis of disease.
In addition to images of anatomy, nuclear medicine yields information on subtle chemical processes as they occur in the body. For example, investigators can now examine the brain’s processing of glucose, which it uses as a source of energy. Due to advances in nuclear medicine, the underlying pathological changes in such illnesses as Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia are now closer to being understood. The field is growing so fast that what today seems a breakthrough will tomorrow be routine.
Powerful tools such as positron emission tomography, or PET, are being brought to bear on heart disease and cancer. Where nuclear medicine techniques were once used to provide images of tumors, the tumors themselves may now be located and treated using specially targeted isotopes linked to antibodies specific to the tumor. All across the country, from medical centers to community hospitals, nuclear medicine departments are becoming as common as x-ray laboratories. This field unites the skills of medicine, physics, chemistry, and mathematics in a common focus—healing the sick.
To stimulate public awareness of a medical field that has come of age, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 297, has designated the week beginning July 27, 1986, as “National Nuclear Medicine Week” and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning July 27, 1986, as National Nuclear Medicine Week, and I call upon the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate observances and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh. RONALD REAGAN 5515 July 29, 1986 Helsinki Human Rights Day, 1986 Digitization Vendor Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5515 of July 29, 1986 National Nuclear Medicine Week, 1986 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation August 1, 1986, marks the eleventh anniversary of the signing of the Final Act of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe, known as 100 STAT. 4479the Helsinki Accords.
Later this year, representatives from the signatory states will be meeting in Vienna to review implementation of these Accords, including the human rights and humanitarian provisions. Human rights and fundamental freedoms lie at the heart of the commitments made in the Helsinki Accords of 1975 and in the follow-on Madrid Concluding Document of 1983. These documents set forth clearly a code of conduct, not only for relations among sovereign states, but also for relations between governments and their citizens.
This code holds out a beacon of hope for those people in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union who seek a freer, more just, and more secure life. We and the other Atlantic democracies will not let up in our efforts to see to it that these solemn commitments are fully honored throughout Europe. We Americans will never waver in our commitment to implement fully the human rights and humanitarian provisions of the Helsinki Accords, not only because these freedoms are fundamental to our way of life but because of our conviction they are the God-given entitlement of every member of the human family.
Let us pledge ourselves once again to do all in our power so that all people may enjoy them in peace. We also call on all 35 CSCE signatory governments to uphold these just and fundamental principles. The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 371, has designated August 1, 1986, as “Helsinki Human Rights Day” and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation reasserting our commitment to the Helsinki Accords. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim August 1, 1986, as Helsinki Human Rights Day and call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate observances that reflect our continuing dedication to full implementation of the human rights and fundamental freedoms set forth in the Helsinki Accords.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh. RONALD REAGAN 5516 August 12, 1986 National Neighborhood Crime Watch Day, 1986 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5516 of August 12, 1986 National Neighborhood Crime Watch Day, 1986 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Crime continues to be of deep concern to the American people.
The fight against crime requires voluntary citizen cooperation with law enforcement officials. We recognize the growth and the proven effectiveness of local crime watch organizations throughout the country. They have played a major role in turning the tide against crime. People working together with their local law enforcement agencies have always been the best deterrent to crime. Citizens all across America will soon take part in a “National Night Out” to demonstrate the importance and effectiveness of community participation 100 STAT. 4480in crime prevention efforts.
Those who take part will spend the period from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. on August 12, 1986, with their neighbors in front of their homes. Americans should be aware of the significance of community crime prevention programs and the ways in which they can reduce crime in our towns and neighborhoods. This Administration has made crime prevention a top priority. We support efforts to repeat the highly visible “National Night Out” as a way of calling attention to the need for citizen-based crime prevention programs.
The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 256, has designated August 12, 1986, as “National Neighborhood Crime Watch Day” and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim August 12, 1986, as National Neighborhood Crime Watch Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh. RONALD REAGAN 5517 August 22, 1986 Suspension of Cuban Immigration Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5517 of August 22, 1986 Suspension of Cuban Immigration By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In light of the May 20, 1985, statement of the Government of Cuba that it had decided “to suspend all types of procedures regarding the execution” of the December 14. 1984. immigration agreement between the United States and Cuba, thereby disrupting normal migration procedures between the two countries, and in light of the continuing failure of the Government of Cuba to resume normal migration procedures with the United States while at the same time facilitating illicit migration to the United States, I have determined that it is in the interest of the United States to suspend entry into the United States as immigrants by all Cuban nationals, with the exceptions noted below, pending the restoration of normal migration procedures between the two countries.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, by the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, including Section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, as amended (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)) (“the Act”), having found that the unrestricted entry into the United States as immigrants by Cuban citizens would, except as provided in Section 2, be detrimental to the interests of the United States, do proclaim that: Section 1. Entry of Cuban nationals as immigrants is hereby suspended, except as noted in Section 2.
Sec. 2. The suspension of entry as immigrants contained in Section 1 shall not apply:
(a)to Cuban nationals applying for admission to the United States as immediate relatives under Section 201(b) of the Act (8 U.S.C. 100 STAT. 44811151(b)) and special immigrants described in Section 101(a)(27)(A) of the Act (8 U.S.C. 1101(a)(27)(A));
(b)to Cuban nationals applying for admission into the United States as preference immigrants under Section 203(a) of the Act (8 U.S.C. 1153(a)) at United States consular posts designated by the Secretary of State for the processing of Cuban nationals, where the applicant can demonstrate that he or she departed Cuba prior to the date of this proclamation, has remained outside Cuba since that date, and otherwise qualified for preference immigrants status; and
(c)in such other cases or categories of cases as may be designated from time to time by the Secretary of State or his designee. Sec. 3. This proclamation shall be effective immediately and shall remain in effect until such time as the Secretary of State, after consultation with the Attorney General, determines that normal migration procedures with Cuba have been restored. Any such determination by the Secretary of State shall be published in the **Federal Register.** IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh. RONALD REAGAN 5518 August 26, 1986 Women’s Equality Day, 1986 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5518 of August 26, 1986 Women’s Equality Day, 1986 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Sixty-six years ago our Constitution was amended for the nineteenth time— to grant women a cherished privilege of citizenship in a free Nation, the right to vote. Since then, women have not only availed themselves of their access to the voting booth, they have gone on to take part at every level of politics and government. We as a Nation are much the better for this fundamental enlargement of our public life. Women’s growing participation in public life has been paralleled by their increasing importance in every field. All of us benefit from the accomplishments of women in commerce, law, science, medicine, the arts, and every other area of human activity. We are most grateful for all of these achievements. just as we are for women’s special role at the heart of the family and for the freedom of opportunity women have to determine the vocations they wish to pursue. Each year we celebrate August 26, the anniversary of the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, as “Women’s Equality Day,” to honor the many contributions of women to our Nation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim August 26, 1986, as Women’s Equality Day. I call upon all Americans to mark this occasion with appropriate observances. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and 100 STAT. 4482of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh. RONALD REAGAN 5519 August 27, 1986 Adult Literacy Awareness Month, 1986 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5519 of August 27, 1986 Adult Literacy Awareness Month, 1986 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The incidence of illiteracy and functional illiteracy among the Nation’s adult population negatively affects our economy, our social institutions, and our security. It also limits the opportunities open to those who lack basic reading and writing skills. Estimates of the number of illiterate or functionally illiterate Americans range from twenty-three million to over fifty million. Adult illiteracy has not received the attention it deserves. As Americans come to understand the problem better they will come to grips with it. Illiteracy is not limited to any region of the Nation, nor to any social or ethnic group. We must take this problem seriously and provide the means and the motivation to help those with literacy deficiencies to master the ability to read and write. Americans traditionally have responded when they become aware of a problem, especially when it comes to helping their fellow Americans. The problem of adult illiteracy can be solved if enough Americans volunteer to serve as tutors, provide inkind services, and support other targeted efforts. There must be maximum private initiative, public-private cooperation, and coordinated community action. The Federal government has recognized the need to address adult illiteracy, and the private sector is beginning to do its part through a number of promising initiatives. I am pleased to learn that many organizations will be involved in addressing this problem. Others in communications—television producers, magazine publishers, book publishers, broadcasters, and advertising agencies— will be supporting and encouraging efforts to raise awareness of the problem of adult illiteracy in September 1986 and beyond. In order to call attention to these efforts, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 358, has designated the month of September 1986 as “Adult Literacy Awareness Month” and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event.
