103 STAT. 3100 Proclamation 6029 of September 27, 1989 Religious Freedom Week, 1989 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Our Nation’s commitment to the principle of religious liberty has not only been enshrined in law but also faithfully upheld by generations of Americans. The first men and women to settle in America came to this country in search of the opportunity to worship God freely. Since then, this country has been a haven for millions of people seeking refuge from religious persecution.

Indeed, in our pluralistic society, where the adherents of different religions must live together along with others who profess no religion at all, toleration has been a practical necessity a. well as a moral imperative. This week, we acknowledge the importance of religious freedom and tolerance to each American and to our entire Nation. The most celebrated guarantee of religious liberty in U.S. law is contained in the First Amendment to the Constitution, which states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

” Yet even before the First Amendment was written, the Constitution provided that “no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.” The leaders who shaped our system of government were men of great faith and foresight—and they recognized the various dangers government could pose to individual liberty and the free exercise of religious beliefs. Before the Constitution was drafted, the State of Virginia provided, in a statute drafted by Thomas Jefferson, “that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain their opinion in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge or affect their civil capacities.

” Jefferson considered his authorship of this statute so important that he chose to have it noted in his epitaph. Throughout the history of the United States, the free exercise of religion has contributed not only to the welfare of individual believers but also to the strength of our Nation. The American people’s faith in God—unencumbered by legal restrictions and untainted by government interference—has been a powerful force for maintaining high standards of morality and justice in our society.

Because bigotry and indifference pose an ever-present danger to religious liberty everywhere, toleration must be for us not just a matter of legal decree binding the government, but a matter of moral conviction enjoining each of us to respect the rights and beliefs of others. Tragically, in many nations—especially those that suffer under the dark shadow of totalitarian rule—the rights of believers are systematically denied. And in too many countries around the world, animosities and hatreds often lead to civil unrest or violence.

Thus, we Americans should be thankful for the religious freedom we so enjoy and also remain fully committed to defending this fundamental human right any time, any place, it is threatened or denied. 103 STAT. 3101 Nearly 200 years ago, in his now famous reply to the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, President Washington declared that the Government of the United States “gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance.” This week, let us rededicate ourselves—as individuals and as a Nation—to that noble vision.

In recognition of the importance of religious freedom and the spirit of tolerance, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 146, has designated the week beginning September 24, 1989, as “Religious Freedom Week.” NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning September 24, 1989, as Religious Freedom Week. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities, and I urge them to reaffirm their devotion to the principles of religious freedom.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourteenth. GEORGE BUSH 6030 September 28, 1989 To Provide for the Tariff Treatment of Goods From the Freely Associated States, To Implement Tariff Reductions on Certain Tropical Products, and for Other Purposes Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6030 of September 28, 1989 To Provide for the Tariff Treatment of Goods From the Freely Associated States, To Implement Tariff Reductions on Certain Tropical Products, and for Other Purposes By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1.

Section 242 of the Compact of Free Association (the Compact] entered into by the Government of the United States and the Governments of the Marshall Islands and of the Federated States of Micronesia (the freely associated states), as given effect by section 401(a) of the Compact of Free Association Act of 1985 (the Association Act) (Public Law No. 99–239, 99 Stat. 1770], provides that upon implementation of the Compact the President shall proclaim duty-free treatment for most products of the freely associated states, subject to the limitations provided in sections 503(b) and 504(c) of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (the 1974 Act) (19 U.S.C. 2463(b) and 2464(c)). 2.

Section 243 of the Compact, as given effect by section 401(b) of the Association Act, provides that certain articles imported from the freely associated states are to be excluded from the duty-free treatment proclaimed by the President and are to receive most-favored-nation treatment In addition, section 401(a) of the Association Act sets restrictions on the aggregate quantity of canned tuna that may be entered free of duty in any calendar year. The foregoing exclusions and restrictions were set forth in terms of the former Tariff Schedules of the United States

(TSUS)(19 U.S.C. 1202). The United States converted the TSUS to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States [HTS] effective January 1, 1989. Accordingly, the exclusions and restrictions set out in 103 STAT. 3102section 401 of the Association Act must be incorporated into the HTS. Further, certain technical rectifications to particular HTS provisions are necessary in order to designate such provisions correctly. 3. In accordance with section 401 of the Association Act, I have determined that the existing preferential tariff treatment provided under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), pursuant to Title V of the 1974 Act, to products of the freely associated states should be terminated and that certain modifications and rectifications to the HTS are necessary in order to reflect the appropriate treatment of such articles under the Compact. 4. Pursuant to section 1102(a) of the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988 (the 1988 Act) (19 U.S.C. 2902(a)), I have determined that one or more existing duties or other import restrictions of the United States are unduly burdening and restricting the foreign trade of the United States and that the purposes, policies, and objectives of Title I of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 2901 *et seq.)* will be promoted by entering into a trade agreement providing for the reduction of rates of duty applicable to imports of certain tropical products. 5. The requirements set forth in sections 125, 128(a), 131–135, and 161(b) of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2135, 2136(a), 2151–2155, and 2211(b)) have been complied with. 6. Pursuant to section 1102(a) of the 1988 Act, the President, through his duly empowered representative, on December 5, 1988, entered into a trade agreement with other contracting parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade

(GATT)(61 Stat. [pts. 5 and 6)), as amended, consisting of a statement of negotiating results and schedules of concessions agreed upon by parties thereto, and implementing on a provisional basis tariff reductions on enumerated tropical products. A copy of the agreement and the attached schedule of United States concessions on such products is annexed to this Proclamation as part

(b)of Annex II. 7. Pursuant to the 1988 Act, I hereby determine that the modification or continuance of existing duties hereinafter proclaimed required or appropriate to carry out the trade agreement on tropical products. Pending the successful conclusion of the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations, I have decided to implement the United States tropical products concessions on a temporary basis. 8. Section 201(a) of the United States-Canada Free-Trade Agreement Implementation Act of 1988 (the Implementation Act) (Public Law No. 100–449, 102 Stat. 1851) authorizes the President to proclaim such modifications or continuance of any existing duty, such continuance of existing duty-free or excise treatment, or such additional duties, as the President determines to be necessary or appropriate to carry out Article 401 of the United States-Canada Free-Trade Agreement and the schedule of duty reductions with respect to goods originating in the territory of Canada set forth in Annexes 401.2 and 401.7 to the Agreement. 9. Pursuant to section 201(a) of the Implementation Act, I have determined that it is necessary to provide for the staged reduction in duties on certain plywood and certain motor vehicle equipment originating in the territory of Canada, and to correct an omission in Proclamation 103 STAT. 31035978 of May 12, 1989, of the staged reduction in duties on certain puzzles originating in the territory of Canada. 10. Section 1204(b) of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 3004(b)) directs the President to proclaim such modifications to the HTS as are necessary or appropriate to implement the applicable provisions of executive actions taken after January 1, 1988. and before the effective date of the HTS, and such technical rectifications as the President considers necessary. Pursuant to the terms of section 1204(b)(1) of the 1988 Act (19 U.S.C. 3004(b)(1)), I have determined that certain technical rectifications to the HTS are necessary. 11. Section 604 of the 1974 Act (19 U.S.C. 2483] authorizes the President to embody in the HTS the substance of the provisions of that Act, and other Acts affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder. NOW, THEREFORE. I, GEORGE BUSH. President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States, including but not limited to section 401 of the Association Act, section 201 of the Implementation Act, sections 1102 and 1204(b) of the 1988 Act. and Title V and section 604 of the 1974 Act, do proclaim that:
