106 STAT. 5271 Proclamation 6432 of May 8, 1992 Infant Mortality Awareness Day, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In recent years, our Nation has made significant and encouraging progress in its efforts to improve the health of mothers and infants. The Department of Health and Human Services reports that, in 1991, the infant mortality rate was 8.9 deaths per 1,000 live births—the lowest ever recorded and a continued decline from previous years.
This decrease can be attributed to a number of factors, including advances in science and technology, which have enabled us to save the lives of babies who are born prematurely or who develop dangerous conditions while still in the womb. While we are justly proud of these advances and of the excellent standards of care provided in our Nation’s neonatal intensive care units, we know that there is still much work to do. Several important indicators of maternal and child health, such as incidence of low birth weight and receipt of prenatal care, have not shown desired improvements.
Moreover, the percentage of babies born to teenage mothers and the number of pregnant women who used one or more illegal substances during their pregnancies have increased. On this occasion, therefore, we renew our commitment to promoting maternal and child health—beginning with high quality prenatal care throughout pregnancy. Although government cannot fulfill the primary responsibility of parents in caring for their children, officials at the Federal, State, and local levels have been working with health care professionals and other members of the private sector to help pregnant women protect the lives of their unborn children through proper nutrition and prenatal care.
Prenatal care is especially important for women who are at increased medical or social risk. Today, for example, black infants have twice the risk of dying before their first birthday than do white infants. By expanding access to quality prenatal care and other family support services, we will alleviate tremendous human suffering and ensure that every child receives the best possible start in life. In addition, because the cost of preventive care is much less than the cost of caring for infants with low birth weight and other health problems, our efforts have the potential to produce substantial economic savings.
As part of our national campaign to improve maternal and child health, we have launched the Healthy Start program, a pilot project designed to bring needed information and services to pregnant women and to cut existing rates of infant mortality by half in 15 high-risk areas. Elements of the Healthy Start program include education about healthy life-styles, improved transportation to clinics and other medical facilities, the pooling of services to provide “one-stop shopping” for care, and smoking and drug abuse cessation programs.
Our goal is to develop innovative programs that work, and then replicate them in other American communities. At the same time, we continue to promote public awareness of ways that each of us can help to improve maternal and child health in the United States. As an expression of our Nation’s commitment to further progress in the fight against infant mortality, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 106 STAT. 5272 425, has designated May 10, 1992, as “Infant Mortality Awareness Day” and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this day.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 10, 1992, as Infant Mortality Awareness Day. I urge all Americans to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth. GEORGE BUSH 6433 May 11, 1992 National Trauma Awareness Month, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6433 of May 11, 1992 National Trauma Awareness Month, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Each year traumatic injury strikes almost one in four Americans, tragically ending the lives of some 150,000 people and afflicting millions more with temporary or permanent disabilities.
This devastating loss of human life and potential is all the more regrettable because it is often preventable. In most instances, traumatic injury can be avoided; and when trauma does strike, its impact on individuals can be greatly reduced through proper treatment and rehabilitation. While each of us is a potential trauma victim, young people are particularly vulnerable. The Department of Health and Human Services reports that traumatic injuries cause more childhood deaths than all diseases combined and account for 80 percent of all deaths among adolescents.
Among all age groups, young adults who are between 25 and 44 years old account for the highest number of fatal traumatic injuries—some 50,000 deaths annually. The economic costs of traumatic injury, including health care expenses and lost productivity, total in the tens of billions of dollars each year. We cannot, however, even begin to measure the sum of personal pain and suffering that are experienced by victims and their families. Fortunately, the threat of traumatic injury can be reduced significantly when we use common sense and apply well-established safety precautions.
We have, for example, witnessed an encouraging decline in deaths due to motor vehicle collisions—the leading cause of fatal trauma—since Americans began to increase their use of safety belts and to lower their intake of alcohol. Our success in reducing fatal motor vehicle collisions is but one indication of how much we have learned about preventing traumatic injuries. We have also learned that, when serious traumatic injuries do occur, rapid transport, prompt treatment, and early rehabilitation of the victim provide the best means of minimizing physical, emotional, and financial costs.
Thus, our Nation is indebted to the thousands of professionals and volunteers who serve on the front lines of trauma care: the 106 STAT. 5273 emergency medical personnel who stand ready to answer calls for assistance at all hours of the day and night; the rehabilitation specialists who work patiently with trauma victims so that they can recover as quickly and as fully as possible; and the physicians and scientists who are working to improve related therapies and technologies.
Our national commitment to overcoming traumatic injury has borne fruit. Further progress, of course, will require the continuing efforts of men and women in many fields—including health care, education, government, transportation, law, and engineering. By combining existing knowledge and proven health and safety measures with promising new developments in research, we can more successfully treat and prevent traumatic injury. The Congress, by Public Law 102–208, has designated May 1992 as “National Trauma Awareness Month” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this month.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of May 1992 as National Trauma Awareness Month. I urge all Americans to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth. GEORGE BUSH 6434 May 11, 1992 National Defense Transportation Day and National Transportation Week, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6434 of May 11, 1992 National Defense Transportation Day and National Transportation Week, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Transportation is an essential part of America—its history, its culture, its security, and its progress.
Our Nation’s transportation system has not only enabled our citizens to enjoy unparalleled personal mobility but also encouraged the growth of industry and commerce, thereby strengthening our American heritage of freedom and prosperity. The United States has always been a Nation on the move. From the sea lanes that served coastal towns and cities to the wagon trails and railroad lines forged across the frontier—our transportation network made possible the settlement and development of America.
Amidst the strife of more recent wars, transportation has carried our armed forces to far-flung regions of the world and provided them with the materiel needed to defend our national interests. In each instance, millions of civilians in the transportation industry have assisted in the mobilization of our troops despite tremendous logistical challenges. Thus, transportation has played a key role in America’s military preparedness, as well as in its social and economic development. 106 STAT. 5274 Even as we note the high levels of mobility and security that we enjoy today, we also recognize the need for continuing investments and improvements in American transportation.
Efforts to strengthen our transportation infrastructure will create jobs and economic growth while enhancing the safety and efficiency of our roads, air routes, public transit systems, and waterways. This is the mandate set forth by the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, which I signed into law last year, and our commitment to its goals and to other objectives of our National Transportation Policy will help move us toward a bright future. In recognition of the importance of transportation and of the millions of Americans who work to meet our transportation needs, the Congress, by joint resolution approved May 16, 1957 (36 U.S.C. 160), has requested that the third Friday in May of each year be designated as “National Defense Transportation Day” and, by joint resolution approved May 14, 1962 (36 U.S.C. 166), that the week in which that Friday falls be proclaimed “National Transportation Week.
” NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Friday, May 15, 1992, as National Defense Transportation Day and the week of May 10 through May 16, 1992, as National Transportation Week. I urge all Americans to observe these occasions with appropriate ceremonies and activities that will give due recognition to the individuals and organizations that build, operate, safeguard, and maintain our transportation system. I ask that special recognition be extended to the men and women of the United States Department of Transportation, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth. GEORGE BUSH 6435 May 12, 1992 Small Business Week, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6435 of May 12, 1992 Small Business Week, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Small business men and women accomplish great things for our communities and country, and each year it is our privilege as Americans to join in saluting these present-day pioneers.
Through their willingness to take risks and to do the hard work that is necessary to improve existing products and services or to design, develop, and market new ones, small business people are leading America’s economic productivity and innovation. Indeed, small business is the lifeblood of our Nation’s free enterprise system. This resilient sector generates two of every three jobs in the United States and has been cited by forecasters as the driving force behind the more than 850,000 new jobs that were created in 1991.
In addition, small businesses employ more than half of the American work force—often providing that 106 STAT. 5275 crucial first job to young people and other disadvantaged workers—while generating some 44 percent of all sales and 39 percent of our GNP. Today, as we look toward the vast frontier that is the 21st century, we know that small business men and women will continue to play a vital role in moving the United States forward to even greater heights of prosperity and progress.
In the future, the success of American small business will have increasing impact around the globe. Indeed, as they strive to overcome impoverishment and stagnation imposed by years of totalitarian rule, more and more of the world’s emerging democracies are looking to the United States as a model of private initiative and market principles in action. Hence, it is important that we continue to promote a climate in which small businesses can thrive. This means alleviating the high cost of capital and the heavy burden of excessive government regulation, which stifle investment and creativity.
Encouraging the success of small business will also require a continuing commitment to excellence in education, which is vital to producing workers who have the knowledge and skills that are necessary to excel in the increasingly competitive global marketplace. Today, it is gratifying to note that many small businesses have joined in support of AMERICA 2000, our comprehensive strategy to achieve our National Education Goals. From their daily contributions toward our local and national economies to their generous participation in voluntary community service programs and other worthwhile endeavors, small business men and women are helping to build a better America for all of us.
Thus, these enterprising individuals richly deserve our support and thanks. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, 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 May 10 through May 16 as Small Business Week. I urge all Americans to join me in saluting our Nation’s small business men and women by observing this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth.
GEORGE BUSH 6436 May 15, 1992 Bicentennial of the New York Stock Exchange, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6436 of May 15, 1992 Bicentennial of the New York Stock Exchange, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation When 24 New York merchants and brokers gathered on May 17, 1792, to establish rules of conduct for the exchange of securities and to buy and sell orders for those who wanted to trade, they laid the foundation for what is now one of the largest stock exchanges in the world.
Today the New York Stock Exchange handles, on average, more than 200 million shares daily and plays a major role in the unique self-regulatory system that aids in the enforcement of the Nation’s securities laws. At 106 STAT. 5276 a time when the peoples of newly emerging democracies are working to establish market economies and to promote the capital formation and investment that are cornerstones of prosperity and progress, we take special pride in the 200th anniversary of the New York Stock Exchange and in the many contributions that the NYSE has made to the development of the United States.
The New York Stock Exchange is, in many ways, a symbol of our Nation’s free enterprise system and of the opportunities for savings and investment it provides to all of our citizens. Led by a private board of directors and regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the NYSE offers an efficient market for the trading of securities, thereby facilitating the purchase and sale of stocks, options, futures, and other innovative financial contracts. By providing a vehicle by which businesses can acquire capital and by enabling individual and corporate investors to select portfolios that best fit their needs, the New York Stock Exchange has helped to finance the development of American industry and technology and, in so doing, contributed to the creation of countless jobs.
With 200 years of experience and growth behind them, members of today’s New York Stock Exchange are helping to promote American principles of free enterprise around the world. As the economies of the United States and other nations become increasingly interdependent, and as advances in communications and other technologies transform financial markets, the future of the NYSE promises to be as eventful and as distinguished as its past. The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 254, has recognized May 17, 1992, as the bicentennial of the New York Stock Exchange and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in recognition of this occasion.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby invite all Americans to observe May 17, 1992, the bicentennial of the New York Stock Exchange, in recognition of that institution’s role in promoting the economic vitality and growth of the United States. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth.
GEORGE BUSH 6437 May 18, 1992 Older Americans Month, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6437 of May 18, 1992 Older Americans Month, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The heart of a nation may well be judged by the amount of respect that it has for its elders. Accordingly, when we pause to honor older Americans, the men and women who have helped to keep the United States free, strong, and prosperous, we show that we are a grateful people. 106 STAT. 5277 Older Americans constitute a living link to the past as well as a rich source of experience and wisdom for the future.
They are our parents, grandparents, neighbors, and mentors, and, together, they have helped to preserve the rich legacy of freedom that we enjoy today. Through two global conflicts and the Cold War that followed, older Americans labored and sacrificed to defend the light of liberty. Through their creativity and hard work, they developed technology that has enabled us to cross new frontiers in space and science while achieving ever higher levels of industrial and agricultural productivity.
Today, millions of older Americans share their talents and expertise with younger generations by engaging in voluntary service, thereby becoming Points of Light. What better way to thank our senior citizens than to ensure that they have access to the opportunities, services, and support that they so rightly deserve. Each of us can contribute toward that important goal by joining in the National Eldercare Campaign. As part of this campaign, the Federal Government is working to promote partnerships among private voluntary organizations and State and Area Agencies on Aging.
These locally established coalitions will help to address the specific needs of the at-risk elderly, thereby enabling millions of older Americans to live with dignity and security in their own homes and communities. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of die United States, do hereby proclaim the month of May 1992 as Older Americans Month. I call on the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies and activities in honor of our Nation’s senior citizens.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 18 day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth. GEORGE BUSH 6438 May 18, 1992 National Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6438 of May 18, 1992 National Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Huntington’s disease is an insidious, hereditary neurological disorder that causes the gradual deterioration of one’s ability to speak, move, and think.
The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke reports that some 25,000 Americans have Huntington’s disease, and that each of their children has a 50 percent chance of inheriting the defective gene that is associated with it. One of the tragic facts about Huntington’s disease is that it usually becomes manifest in the middle years, after an individual has established a career and a family. The estimated 125,000 Americans who are at risk of developing the disease may spend years anxiously awaiting the appearance of symptoms, such as tics, lapses in memory, and unsteadiness.
If an individual develops Huntington’s disease, the resulting de-106 STAT. 5278mentia, slurred speech, and uncontrollable movements progressively worsen. For those fortunate not to develop the disorder, Huntington’s disease can nevertheless take an emotional and financial toll as they care for stricken loved ones. Today, patients and their families have just cause for hope; a new era of discovery is unfolding in research on Huntington’s disease. Members of the biomedical research community are aggressively pursuing studies to identify the exact location of the gene associated with Huntington’s disease and to learn how it functions in the body.
Once the gene is located and its mechanism of action is exposed, scientists will be able to analyze and possibly to correct the defect, thereby conquering Huntington’s disease once and for all. Until scientists achieve these goals, however, affected individuals and families will continue to need our understanding and our support. In order to enhance public awareness of Huntington’s disease and to express concern for those affected by it, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 251, has designated May 1992 as “National Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month” and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this month.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 1992 as National Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month. I encourage all Americans to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth. GEORGE BUSH 6439 May 18, 1992 World Trade Week, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6439 of May 18, 1992 World Trade Week, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation At no time in recent history has international commerce been so important to the economic productivity and strength of the United States.
As more and more peoples around the world join the ranks of free and democratic nations and reform their economies on the basis of market principles, American business, agriculture, and industry face unprecedented opportunities and challenges. Thus, it is fitting that we pause to recognize the role of international trade in creating jobs for our citizens while spurring America’s productivity and competitiveness. Today the success of U.S. exporters is driving our Nation’s economy toward stronger growth.
Last year, U.S. merchandise exports soared to a record high of $422 billion. Our trade deficit dropped to $66 billion, the lowest level since 1983. Exports not only mean jobs to the men and women who develop, grow, manufacture, and market products for sale abroad but also help to bring prosperity to our communities. 106 STAT. 5279 This Administration will continue to work in partnership with U.S. business and industry to promote the quality of American goods and services and to eliminate barriers to free and fair trade.
The United States led the way in initiating the current set of negotiations on the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), and we will continue to work to bring the Uruguay Round to a successful conclusion. We also remain committed to the full implementation of our Enterprise for the Americas Initiative, as well as to the completion of a North American Free Trade Agreement, which will create a thriving market of 360 million consumers and an estimated $6 trillion annual output—the largest integrated market in the world.
The United States is determined to advance our free trade agenda on both the multilateral and bilateral levels. There remains tremendous export potential in America today, and much of it lies with small-and medium-sized companies. In fact, while the United States leads the world in exports, just 15 percent of our exporters account for more than 60 percent of the value of goods shipped across our borders. American businesses and industries, large and small, must take advantage of recent events in the world marketplace and recommit themselves to the aggressive pursuit of export markets abroad.
The Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee, which is chaired by the Secretary of Commerce and comprised of 18 Federal agencies, was established to coordinate government export programs and to assist American businesses in their exporting efforts. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, 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 May 17 through May 23, 1992, as World Trade Week.
I encourage all Americans to observe this week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth. GEORGE BUSH 6440 May 19, 1992 National Maritime Day, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6440 of May 19, 1992 National Maritime Day, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation This year, as we celebrate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’ historic first journey to the Americas, we are especially mindful of our Nation’s rich maritime history.
The development of the American colonies was made possible by merchant ships, and commercial vessels later played a key role in our Nation’s struggle for independence. Since that time, our civilian seafarers have continued to contribute to the freedom and security of the United States, as well as to its trade and commerce. Thus, it is with great pride and appreciation that we pause to honor the American merchant marine. 106 STAT. 5280 America’s civilian seafarers uphold a long and distinguished tradition of service to our country, a legacy that includes outstanding contributions in peacetime and in time of peril.
During the Revolutionary War, merchant craft supplemented the 34 ships of the Continental Navy and captured and sank some 600 British vessels, thereby frustrating enemy shipping and hastening the American victory. During World War II, the United States merchant marine provided a vital lifeline for liberty as it helped to transport materiel and reinforcements to American and Allied forces around the world. More than 700 U.S.-flag merchant ships were lost to enemy attacks during that conflict, and more than 6,000 civilian sailors gave their lives in support of the effort to defeat tyranny and aggression.
We remain grateful to each of them. Our Nation is also grateful to the merchant sailors who contributed to the success of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm a little over a year ago. Like generations who have gone before them, these civilian seafarers demonstrated an impressive degree of readiness, patriotism, and skill. While past periods of armed conflict underscore the importance of a strong sealift capacity to the United States, on this occasion we also note the contributions that our merchant marine makes each day to our Nation’s economic security and competitiveness.
By carrying American agricultural products and other goods to foreign markets, merchant vessels contribute to our balance of payments and create jobs and opportunities for our citizens. Although our transportation system has expanded dramatically since the colonial era, shipping remains a vital part of U.S. trade and commerce. The freedom and prosperity that we Americans enjoy today have been made possible with the help of our merchant marine, and it is fitting that we offer this special salute to our civilian seafarers, port terminal operators, and all those who serve in this Nation’s maritime industries.
In recognition of the importance of the U.S. merchant marine, the Congress, by joint resolution approved May 20, 1933, has designated May 22 of each year as “National Maritime Day” and has requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its appropriate observance. This date was chosen to commemorate the day in 1819 when the SS SAVANNAH left Savannah, Georgia, on the first trans-atlantic steamship voyage. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 22, 1992, as National Maritime Day.
I encourage all Americans to observe this day 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 WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth. GEORGE BUSH 6441 May 20, 1992 National Foster Care Month, 1992 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 6441 of May 20, 1992 106 STAT. 5281 National Foster Care Month, 1992 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation As the first and most fundamental of all social institutions and as the primary source of love, identity, and support that every individual needs and deserves, the family is the very foundation of our communities and Nation.
The future of the United States depends on the stability and well-being of its families, and we are deeply indebted to those Americans who work to assist them—particularly in times of need. This month, we express special gratitude toward the providers of foster care. Foster families are called on most frequently to supply guardianship and guidance to children whose biological parents are unable to provide an acceptable level of care for them. The Department of Health and Human Services reports that approximately 407,000 children in the United States currently live in foster care.
The more than 250,000 licensed foster families who have generously accepted these children for temporary or perhaps permanent alternative placement not only meet their basic needs for food, clothing, and shelter but also offer them affection, encouragement, moral direction, and discipline. Because foster parents shape young hearts and minds in addition to ensuring the physical well-being of children in their care, the support and training that these adults receive are highly important.
Indeed, foster parents merit recognition as vital members of a team that includes social service providers, attorneys and law enforcement officials, members of the clergy, and others who are dedicated to assisting children and families. Together with fellow members of our Nation’s foster care system, foster parents play an essential role in efforts to strengthen and reunite troubled families or, when appropriate, in efforts to ease a child’s transition to a permanent, loving adoptive home—perhaps even the foster family’s own.
In recognition of the contributions that foster families make to the well-being of children and the Nation, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 388, has designated the month of May 1992 as “National Foster Care Month” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this month. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of May 1992 as National Foster Care Month. I call on all Americans to observe this month with appropriate programs and activities in honor of those generous individuals who share their lives with foster children.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sixteenth.
