101 STAT. 2216 Proclamation 5725 of October 8, 1987 National School Lunch Week, 1987 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The National School Lunch Program was founded 41 years ago. Through it the Federal government works with State governments and local communities to provide food assistance each day for more than 20 million students in 90,000 schools. During National School Lunch Week the American people take time to salute this program and the hardworking citizens whose participation makes it so effective.
This successful program is constantly improving. For instance, food service managers have reached out to the community to involve parents and have promoted good management practices. Many school cafeterias offer new choices such as salad bars to make the lunch period more enjoyable for students. The National School Lunch Program represents the cooperative efforts of parents, teachers, community leaders, and food service specialists in behalf of the students of our Nation, and that is good reason for all of us to celebrate.
By joint resolution approved October 9, 1962, the Congress designated the week beginning on the second Sunday of October in each year as “National School Lunch Week” and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 11, 1987, as National School Lunch Week, and I call upon all Americans to give special and deserved recognition to those people at the State and local level whose dedication and innovation contribute so much to the success of the school lunch program.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth. RONALD REAGAN 5726 October 8, 1987 National Farm-City Week, 1987 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5726 of October 8, 1987 National Farm-City Week, 1987 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation For the past 33 years during Thanksgiving week, the American people have observed National Farm-City Week to express gratitude for the bounty with which God has blessed our land and to recognize the achievements of the farmers, rural townspeople, and city residents who make our Nation’s agricultural production and distribution system so successful.
Truly this coop-101 STAT. 2217eration between rural and city dwellers for mutual benefit helps ensure our country’s well-being. America’s farmers have provided food and fiber to sustain our people throughout decade after decade of progress. Farmers’ productivity has increased steadily, thanks largely to their initiative in supporting and adopting the methods and materials developed by scientific research. Yield per acre has grown tremendously, with the result that American farmers are able not only to meet the Nation’s basic needs for foodstuffs, but also to produce agricultural goods for export and for a wide variety of specialty markets here in the United States and around the world.
American agriculture, and the many service industries that depend upon it in cities and towns and along all the routes in between, is a story of extraordinary labor creating extraordinary abundance. At this time of year, it is only fitting that all Americans should offer some special sign of thanks to those who grow, harvest, and bring to our Nation’s tables the fruits of sun, seed, and soil. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week of November 20 through November 26, 1987, as National Farm-City Week.
I call upon all Americans, in rural areas and cities alike, to join in recognizing the accomplishments of our productive farmers and of our urban residents, who cooperate to create abundance, wealth, and strength for our Nation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twelfth. RONALD REAGAN 5727 October 9, 1987 Termination of Import Relief on Certain Heavyweight Motorcycles Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5727 of October 9, 1987 Termination of Import Relief on Certain Heavyweight Motorcycles By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1.
In Proclamation 5050 of April 15, 1983 (48 FR 16639), pursuant to section 202(b)(1) and
(c)of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended
(Act)(19 U.S.C. 2252(b)(1) and (c)), I proclaimed import relief with respect to heavyweight motorcycles having engines with a total displacement over 700 cubic centimeters, provided for in item 692.50 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States
(TSUS)(19 U.S.C. 1202). This relief took the form of a tariff increase implemented through tariff-rate quotas and the suspension of preferential tariff treatment under the Generalized System of Preferences
(GSP)for such heavyweight motorcycles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, during the period April 16, 1983, through April 15, 1988. 101 STAT. 2218 2. On June 19, 1987, the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) reported to me the results of an investigation (Inv. No. TA–203–17) pursuant to section 203(i)(2)–(5) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(i)(2)–(5)) with respect to the early termination of the heavyweight motorcycles import relief as requested by petitioner Harley-Davidson, Inc. The USITC advised that the early termination of the import relief would have no significant economic effect on the domestic industry producing heavyweight motorcycles. 3. Accordingly, pursuant to section 203(h)(4) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(h)(4)), after taking into account the advice of the United States Trade Representative, the USITC. the Secretary of Commerce, and the Secretary of Labor, I have determined that it is in the national interest to terminate the import relief in effect with respect to the articles concerned. I have further determined that it is appropriate to terminate the suspension of GSP treatment for such articles required by section 503(c)(2) of the Act (19 U.S.C 2463(c)(2)) during the period of effectiveness of the import relief. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, aiding under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States, including sections 203, 503, and 604 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 2253, 2463, and 2483), do proclaim that—
(1)Part I of Schedule XX to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
(GATT)(61 Stat. (pt. 5) A58; 8 UST (pt. 2) 1986) is modified to conform to the actions taken in this Proclamation.
(2)Subpart A, part 2 of the Appendix to the TSUS is modified by striking out headnote 9 to such subpart and item 924.20.
(3)In order to restore GSP treatment for the motorcycles subject to import relief, part 6B of schedule 6 of the TSUS is modified by inserting in the Rates of Duty Special column for TSUS item 692.52 the symbol “A” immediately before the symbol “E” in parentheses.
(a)Paragraphs
(1)and
(2)of this Proclamation shall be effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on and after the third day following the date of publication of this Proclamation in the **Federal Register**.
