81 Stat. 1141 Proclamation 3817 NATIONAL UNICEF DAY By the President of the United States of America October 27, 1967 A Proclamation The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) was established by the United Nations in 1946. UNICEF is dedicated to the welfare of children throughout the world—to eliminating the disease, hunger, and ignorance that, afflicts them and their mothers. UNICEF is one of the most successful international efforts the world has ever known. The American people have actively and generously supported the work of UNICEF through their private efforts, and through the financial contributions of their Government.

American children make their own very significant contribution through their annual Halloween collections for UNICEF. Yet, despite past efforts, three out of four of all the world’s children continue to suffer in the shadow of poverty, hunger, and disease. There is an enormous job still to be done—for the world’s future depends on the wholesome, healthy development of today’s children. I hope that the American people, and the peoples of all countries, will continue to support UNICEF to the limits of their ability, both through their private efforts and through their governments.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, in honor of this great humanitarian enterprise, do hereby proclaim October 31, 1967, and October 31 in each subsequent year, as National UNICEF Day. I call upon all Americans, and particularly upon officials of the Federal and State governments and upon local officials and citizen groups, to engage in appropriate observance of this day in support of UNICEF. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-second. 3818 November 6, 1967 TERMINATION OF FURTHER STAGING OF CERTAIN CONCESSIONS IN INTERIM TRADE AGREEMENTS WITH CANADA, THE UNITED KINGDOM, AND JAPAN Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3818 TERMINATION OF FURTHER STAGING OF CERTAIN CONCESSIONS IN INTERIM TRADE AGREEMENTS WITH CANADA, THE UNITED KINGDOM, AND JAPAN By the President of the United States of America November 6, 1967 A Proclamation 1.

It began—long before independence was a dream—with families responding to an even deeper human impulse. They had suffered the rigors of winter in a new world—and they had endured. They put aside their plows and thanked God for the harvest’s bounty. Over the years, we have made Thanksgiving a unique national occasion. Thanking God for His goodness, we thank Him as well for the promise and the achievement of America. Our reasons for gratitude are almost without number. We are grateful for the endurance of our government for one hundred and eighty years. We are grateful that the founding fathers planned so wisely for the generations that followed them. We are grateful for a material abundance beyond any mankind has ever known. In our land, the harvests have been good. 81 Stat. 1144 Much as we are grateful for these material and spiritual blessings, we are conscious, in this year, of special sorrows and disappointments. We are engaged in a painful conflict in Asia, which was not of our choosing, and in which we are involved in fidelity to a sacred promise to help a nation which has been the victim of aggression. We are proud of the spirit of our men who are risking their lives on Asian soil. We pray that their sacrifice will be redeemed in an honorable peace and the restoration of a land long torn by war. We are grateful for the tremendous advances which have been made in our generation in social justice and in equality of opportunity, regardless of racial background. But we are saddened by the civil strife which has occurred in our great cities. Recognizing the trials we have endured and are enduring, I have turned to the Thanksgiving Proclamation of President Abranam Lincoln in 1863. President Lincoln faced, with equal emphasis, both the blessings and the sorrows of the people. He recommended to his fellow citizens that, “while offering up the ascriptions justly due to Him for such singular deliverances and blessings, they do also, with humble penitence for our national perverseness and disobedience, commend to His tender care all those who have become widows, orphans, mourners, or sufferers in the lamentable civil strife in which we are unavoidably engaged.” In a similar spirit I ask my fellow citizens to join their thankfulness with penitence and humility. Let us implore Almighty God that, to all our other blessings, He may add the blessings of wisdom and perseverance that will lead us to both peace and justice, in the family of nations and in our beloved homeland. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, in consonance with Section 6103 of Title [80 Stat. 515](/us/stat/80/515). 5 of the United States Code designating the fourth Thursday of November in each year as Thanksgiving Day, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 23, 1967 as a day of national thanksgiving. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of November in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-second. 3820 November 9, 1967 MODIFYING PROCLAMATION 3279 ADJUSTING IMPORTS OF PETROLEUM AND PETROLEUM PRODUCTS Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3820 MODIFYING PROCLAMATION 3279 ADJUSTING IMPORTS OF PETROLEUM AND PETROLEUM PRODUCTS By the President of the United States of America November 9, 1967 A Proclamation [19 USC 1352a](/us/usc/t19/s1352a).[19 USC 1862](/us/usc/t19/s1862).WHERAS, pursuant to section 2 of the act of July 1, 1954, as amended (72 Stat. 678), and section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (76 Stat. 877), findings and determinations have been made that adjustments in the imports of crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products were necessary so that such imports would not threaten to impair the national security, such adjustments have been [19 USC 1862 note](/us/usc/t19/s1862).made by Proclamation 3279 (24 F.R. 1781) and modified by Procla-81 Stat. 1145mation 8290 (24 F.R. 3527), Proclamation 3328 (24 F.R. 10133), Proclamation 3386 (25 F.R. 13945), Proclamation 3389 (26 F.R. 507, 811), Proclamation 3509 (27 F.R. 11985), Proclamation 3531 (28 F.R. 4077), Proclamation 3541 (28 F.R. 5931), Proclamation 3693 (30 F.R. 15459), Proclamation 3779 (32 F.R. 5919), and Proclamation 3794 (32 F.R. 10547); and*Ante*, pp. 1098, 1117.
