82 Stat. 1631 Proclamation 3850 PRAYER FOR PEACE, MEMORIAL DAY, 1968 By the President of the United States of America May 13, 1968 A Proclamation Oil Memorial Day, we remember our debt to those who have died so that we might live in freedom. We remember also those Americans who today, at home and in the lands of our allies, stand guard against all who threaten our freedom. On this Memorial Day, we who remain free by the sacrifice of the dead and the service of Hie living will requite our debt to both with thoughts and acts of gratitude and love.

And we will gain renewed inspiration from their sacrifice—to push forward with the task of trying to bring about a just and enduring peace by every reasonable means. The Congress, by joint resolution of May 11, 1950 ( 64 Stat. 158), has requested the President to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe each Memorial Day as a day of prayer for permanent peace and designating a period during such day when the people of the United States might unite in such supplication.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Memorial Day, Thursday, May 30, 1968, as a day of prayer for permanent peace, and I designate the hour beginning in each locality at eleven o’clock in the morning of that day as a time to unite in such prayer. I urge the press, radio, television, and ail other information media to cooperate m this observance. And 1 urge all Americans, wherever they may be on this designated day, to join their prayers to the Almighty to bestow upon this Nation the blessing of peace restored and lasting among all the nations of the world.

On this Memorial Day—as a special mark of respect to the memory of the gallant Americans who have sacrificed their lives in Vietnam, so that this Nation might live to be for all people everywhere a symbol of peace and justice and freedom—I direct that the flag of the United States be flown at half-staff during the entire day, instead of during the customary forenoon period, on all buildings, grounds, and naval vessels of the Federal Government throughout the United States and all areas under its jurisdiction and control.

I also request the Governors of the States and of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the appropriate officials of all local units of government to direct that the nag be flown at half-staff on all public buildings during that entire day, and request the people of the United States to display the flag at half-staff from their homes for the same period. 82 Stat. 1632 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-second. 3851 May 17, 1968 CENTENNIAL OF THE SIGNING OF THE 1868 TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN THE NAVAJO INDIAN TRIBE AND THE UNITED STATES Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3851 CENTENNIAL OF THE SIGNING OF THE 1868 TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN THE NAVAJO INDIAN TRIBE AND THE UNITED STATES By the President of the United States of America May 17, 1968 A Proclamation [15 Stat. 667](/us/stat/15/667).The Navajo Indian Tribe of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah signed a final peace treaty with the United States in 1868.

This treaty, signed by 29 Navajo headmen and 10 officers of the United States Army on June 1, 1868, officially recognized the sovereignty of the Navajo Tribe. This treaty was ratified by the Senate of the United States on July 23, 1868, and was proclaimed by President Andrew Johnson on August 12, 1868. The terms of the treaty and its mutual acceptance brought to an end a tragic four-year period of suffering, hardship, deprivation, and exile of the Navajo Tribe from its usual tribal area to detention at Fort Sumner, New Mexico, on the banks of the Pecos River.

This is the centennial year of the signing, ratification, and proclaiming of the 1868 treaty. In the intervening 100 years, the number of Navajos has increased from about 8,350 to more than 100,000. And, contrary to the general trend toward reduction of tribal land holdings, the Navajo lands have increased from about 3.5 million acres in 1868 to about 12 million acres. The tribe is now the Nation’s largest in number and resides on the largest reservation. The tribe’s forest industries, oil and mineral wealth, agriculture, arts and crafts, and the recent welcome to the reservation of nationally known manufacturing firms, make the Navajos an outstanding example of a people who have moved with the new century while still holding fast to their Indian identity, ancient beliefs, and creeds.

I recited the progress of the Navajos earlier this year when I spoke by telephone to Indian leaders and supporters gathered at a dinner in Gallup, New Mexico, formally launching observance of the Navajo centennial year. Last month I mentioned progress of the Navajos in the message I sent to the Congress on the Indian American—the Forgotten American. Now, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved May 17, 1968, has requested the President to designate the calendar year 1968 as the *Ante*, p. 123,centennial of the signing of the peace treaty of 1868.

I am happy to honor this request. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the year 1968 as the 82 Stat. 1633centennial of the signing of the 1868 Treaty of Peace between the Navajo Indian Tribe and the United States; and I call upon the Governors of the States, mayors of cities, and other public officials, as well as other interested persons, organizations, and groups to observe this centennial year of a progressive tribe of Indian Americans with appropriate celebrations and ceremonies.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-second. 3852 June 1, 1968 CITIZENSHIP DAY AND CONSTITUTION WEEK, 1968 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3852 CITIZENSHIP DAY AND CONSTITUTION WEEK, 1968 By the President of the United States of America June 1, 1968 A Proclamation On September 17, 1787, the Founding Fathers signed the United States Constitution—the charter of a government founded upon the will of the governed, and consecrated to the preservation of freedom, equality, and justice.

For 181 years, our constitutional government has remained strong and vigorous in the protection and advancement of our fundamental rights and privileges. We have received a magnificent heritage: a heritage of law and freedom, of order and liberty. To our generation, as to all others in the nearly two centuries of the American past, falls the task of guarding that heritage for ourselves and those who will follow us. If we seek to suppress individual rights in the quest for order, we shall betray our democratic heritage.

If we confuse individual rights with license, we shall leave a disordered land to later Americans, a land where the rights of no one can be truly secure. Our Constitution, as it has developed through amendment and interpretation over 181 years, is a powerful star by whose light we chart the course of order and liberty. The Congress has wisely made provision for an annual rededication to the principles and ideals of the Constitution. By a joint resolution of February 29, 1952 (66 Stat. 9), the Congress designated the seventeenth[36 USC 153](/us/usc/t36/s153). day of September of each year as Citizenship Day, not only to commemorate the signing of the Constitution on September 17, 1787, but also to honor those citizens who came of age or were naturalized during the year.

By a resolution of August 2, 1956 (70 Stat. 932), the [36 USC 159](/us/usc/t36/s159).Congress requested the President to designate the week beginning September 17 of each year as Constitution Week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, call upon the appropriate officials of the Government to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on Citizenship Day, September 17, 1968. I urge, Fed-82 Stat. 1634oral, State, and local officials, as well as all religious, civic, educational, and other interested organizations, to arrange meaningful ceremonies on that day to inspire all our citizens to pledge themselves anew to the service of their country and to the support and defense of the Constitution.

I also designate the period beginning September 17 and ending September 23, 1968, as Constitution Week: and I urge the people of the United States to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities in their schools mid churches, and in other suitable places, to the end that they may have a better understanding of the Constitution and of the rights and responsibilities of United States citizenship. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-second. 3853 June 6, 1968 DEATH OF ROBERT F.

KENNEDY Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3853 DEATH OF ROBERT F. KENNEDY By the President of the United States of America June 6, 1968 A Proclamation TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES: A noble and compassionate leader, a good and faithful servant, of the people, in the full vigor of his promise, lies dead from an assassin’s bullet. The tragedy and the senseless violence of Robert F. Kennedy’s death casts a deep shadow of grief across America and across the world.

This is a moment for all Americans to join hands and walk together through this dark night of common anguish into a new dawn of healing unity. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States, do call upon all Americans to observe Sunday next, the ninth day of June, as a day of national mourning in his memory throughout the United States. In our churches, in our homes, and in our hearts let us resolve before God and before each other that the purpose of progress and justice for which Robert F.

Kennedy lived shall endure. I direct that until interment the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff on all buildings, grounds and naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions. I also direct that the flag shall be. flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of June, in the. year of our Lord nineteen hundred and 82 Stat. 1635sixty-eight and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-second. The White House, *June 6, 1968*. 3854 June 8, 1968 FLAG DAY AND NATIONAL FLAG WEEK, 1968 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3854 FLAG DAY AND NATIONAL FLAG WEEK, 1968 By the President of the United States of America June 8, 1968 A Proclamation On June 14, 1777, in Philadelphia, the Continental Congress raised a symbol of hope and freedom for our infant Nation.

It resolved that our flag should be a banner of thirteen alternating red and white stripes, with thirteen white stars in a field of blue. The United States flag has become an inspiration not to one people alone, but to millions abroad who seek justice and equality. It flies above a land, and rep resents a people, blessed by fortune and labor to know prosperity and promise beyond any in the history of man. Yet it has too often been carried into battle, or lowered to mark tragedy.

It is our tusk to work toward the day when it may be raised above a land in peace, a land of genuine equality and dignity, a land of justice under law—a land where neither violence nor oppression holds sway. We should revere our flag, and the dream it represents. And we should re-dedicate ourselves to achieving that just and peaceful America over which it may proudly wave. NOW, THEREFORE, I, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning June 9, 1968, as National Flag Week. 1 direct the appropriate Government officials to display the flag on all Government buildings during the week.

Anti on Flag Day, June 14, I urge all Americans to fly the flag. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-second. 3855 June 10, 1968 AMENDING PROCLAMATION NO. 3385, DESIGNATING RESTRICTED WATERS UNDER THE GREAT LAKES PILOTAGE ACT OF 1960 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3855 AMENDING PROCLAMATION NO. 3385, DESIGNATING RESTRICTED WATERS UNDER THE GREAT LAKES PILOTAGE ACT OF 1960 By the President of the United States of America June 10, 1968 A Proclamation WHEREAS, pursuant to section 3(a) of the Great Lakes Pilotage Act of 1960 (74 Stat. 259; 46 U.S.C. 216a (a)), the President designated 82 Stat. 1636[75 Stat. 1003](/us/stat/75/1003).and announced by Proclamation No. 3385 of December 22, 1960, those United States waters of the Great Lakes in which registered vessels of the United States and foreign vessels are required to have in their service a United States registered pilot or a Canadian registered pilot for the waters concerned;
