83 Stat. 954 Proclamation 3922 NATIONAL HIGHWAY WEEK, 1969 August 13, 1969 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Americans today own more than 80 million passenger cars and drive each of them an average of 9,600 miles a year—or three times the distance from Portland, Maine, to San Diego, California. This is a measure of the personal mobility we now enjoy through highway transportation, one of the major elements in our transportation system. It is a mobility that opens new horizons in employment opportunity, in choice of residence, and in educational, religious, political, recreational, and other social activities.
Highway transportation has developed from a vast private investment in motor vehicles and a vast public investment in highway facilities. These facilities, in turn, are to a large extent, the product of a unique Federal-State partnership in road building. In 1956 we called upon this partnership to build a new network of super-roads, the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways. Now two-thirds completed, the Interstate System already is providing the public with the benefits of safer, faster, and more economical highway transportation.
To assure the best use of the public investment in highways, all Americans must give special attention to improving the safety and efficiency of highway transportation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning September 21, 1969, as National Highway Week, and I urge Federal, State, and local officials, as well as highway industry and other organizations, to hold appropriate ceremonies during that week in recognition of what highway transportation means to our Nation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 13th day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-fourth. 3923 August 14, 1969 WORLD LAW DAY, 1969 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3923 WORLD LAW DAY, 1969 August 14, 1969 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Economic and social progress bears a direct relationship to the establishment and maintenance of orderly societies and a world community of peaceful nations.
Thus, laws which advance economic and social development can bring about essential progress in securing freedom for all men in all nations. Governments are rightfully concerned about the economic and social progress of people, but much can be done on a private and 83 Stat. 955 voluntary basis to supplement government plans and actions. Public programs, embodied in just laws at the local, national, and international levels, can advance the improvement of social and economic conditions in every community and country.
Voluntary cooperation of private individuals and groups can help to bring about research, new proposals, and citizen participation which will provide essential public support for enactment of just and needed laws. The concern and participation of the legal, professional, academic, commercial, and other sectors of the private community in the attack on the root problems of discontent—such as poverty, ignorance, and disease—are vital to the national and international welfare. Fundamentally, it is the human misery and unrest under these conditions which most directly affect man’s ability to develop a peaceful and orderly world community.
It is essential, therefore, that the public and private sectors of every community join together in cooperative endeavors to develop plans and programs to resolve basic social and economic needs within a framework of law on a local, national, and international basis. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 8, 1969, as World Law Day in the United States. I call upon public officials and private leaders, members of the legal profession, public and private organizations, and all men of goodwill to arrange public ceremonies on World Law Day in courts, schools, universities, and other public places in order that we may rededicate ourselves to the observance of international law and to the goals of social and economic progress, so essential to the preservation of world peace.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred sixty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth. 3924 August 15, 1969 UNITED NATIONS DAY, 1969 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3924 UNITED NATIONS DAY, 1969 August 15, 1969 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation On December 22, 1968, the crew of Apollo Eight transmitted a television picture of the entire planet Earth.
The inescapable unity of mankind was dramatically and forcefully presented for all to see. The realization of this unity has been at the heart of the United Nations since its creation twenty-four years ago. The United Nations has long realized that the world abounds with problems which call for a cooperative international approach: problems of conflict and war and the keeping of peace in troubled areas; the settlements of disputes by peaceful methods; the control and reduction of nuclear and other weapons, and many other problems ranging from hunger to the sharing of the manifold benefits of science and technology.
Yet the history of the last twenty-four years tells us that the realization of mankind’s unity is not enough; men must constantly strive to see to it that in international practice, as well as physical fact, mankind realizes its unity. 83 Stat. 956 On United Nations Day, 1969, it should be the resolve of the American people that our Nation, conscious of mankind’s growing interdependence on this planet, shall be a steadfast partner with all who strive for the fulfillment of those hopes.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Friday, October 24, 1969, as United Nations Day and I urge the citizens of this Nation to observe that day by means of community programs which will contribute to a realistic understanding of the United Nations and its associated organizations. I also call upon officials of the Federal and State governments and upon local officials to encourage citizens’ groups and agencies of communication—press, radio, television, and motion pictures—to engage in appropriate observance of United Nations Day this year in cooperation with the United Nations Association of the United States of America and other interested organizations.
Moreover, in anticipation of the Twenty-fifth Anniversary Year of the United Nations, I call upon the citizens of this Nation and its citizens’ groups to plan such community and organization programs for 1970 as will contribute both to an appreciation of the accomplishments of the United Nations and to a realistic understanding of its aims, its limitations, and its potentialities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-fourth. 3925 August 27, 1969 LADY BIRD JOHNSON GROVE REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3925 LADY BIRD JOHNSON GROVE REDWOOD NATIONAL PARK August 27, 1969 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation It is fitting that a magnificent redwood grove in Redwood National Park be dedicated in honor of Lady Bird Johnson, who has done so much to stir in the American conscience a deepened sense of unity with our national environment.
Mrs. Johnson has given generously of her time and talents on behalf of the natural beauty of the land she loves so well. That beauty is uniquely expressed in the Redwood [82 Stat. 931](/us/stat/82/931). [16 USC 79a](/us/usc/t16/s79a). National Park established by the Act of Congress of October 2, 1968, while Mrs. Johnson was First Lady of the land. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do proclaim that the following described land within the boundaries of the Redwood National Park is hereby designated as the Lady Bird Johnson Grove:
HUMBOLDT MERIDIAN That parcel of land situated in sec. 26, T. 11 N., R. 1 E., more particularly described as follows: Beginning at the northeast corner of sec. 26, T. 11 N., R. 1 E.; thence southerly along the east line of said sec. 26 to the southeast corner thereof; 83 Stat. 957 thence westerly along the south line of said sec. 26 to the south quarter corner thereof; thence northerly along the north-south centerline approximately 2,200 feet through forest types 004/R, 002/R, 01/R, 002/R as depicted on National Park Service Map, NPS–RED–7114–B of Redwood National Park as referred to in Section 2 of Public Law 90–545, October 2, 1968, to its intersection with the northerly line of forest [82 Stat. 931](/us/stat/82/931). [16 USC 79b](/us/usc/t16/s79b). type 002/R; thence easterly and northerly along the northerly line of forest type 002/R and northerly along the westerly line of forest types 03/RD, 002/RD and R3/R to its intersection with the north-south centerline of said sec. 26; thence northerly along the north-south centerline to its intersection with the north line of said sec. 26; thence easterly along the north line of said sec. 26 to the northeast corner, the Point of Beginning.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of August, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-fourth. 3926 September 5, 1969 GENERAL PULASKI’S MEMORIAL DAY, 1969 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3926 GENERAL PULASKI’S MEMORIAL DAY, 1969 September 5, 1969 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation One hundred and ninety years ago, a young Polish patriot in exile gave his life in the cause of American freedom and independence.
Count Casimir Pulaski came to America and joined the Continental Army. He fought with great valor and was promoted by the Congress to the rank of brigadier general in recognition of his military leadership at the Battle of Brandy wine. He raised and commanded a cavalry unit which won fame as the Pulaski Legion. On October 11, 1779, General Pulaski died of wounds received two days earlier while leading a cavalry charge in the Battle of Savannah. It is fitting that on the anniversary of his death we pay grateful tribute to this gallant Pole, and to the millions of his countrymen in America who have contributed to this nation’s growth and to the defense of its freedoms.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Saturday, October 11, 1969, as General Pulaski’s Memorial Day; and I direct the appropriate Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on that day. I also invite the people of the United States to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies in honor of the memory of General Pulaski and his dedication to the defense of liberty. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred sixty-nine, 83 Stat. 958 and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth. 3927 September 9, 1969 NATIONAL EMPLOY THE PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED WEEK, 1969 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3927 NATIONAL EMPLOY THE PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED WEEK, 1969 September 9, 1969 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation During the past three decades, this Nation has made great progress in helping handicapped Americans find work.
Seven million men and women have overcome disabilities and found a place for themselves in industry, commerce, and the professions. As favorable as are the statistics documenting this achievement, there are still many handicapped persons in need of rehabilitation. Programs are needed which will continue and expand the work which has already been done. Yet even the best programs are not enough if they are not matched by a growth of understanding on the part of employers and the public at large.
Misconceptions concerning disability must be supplanted by facts. We must help the physically handicapped not only because it enables them to build better lives, but also because an American who is employed despite his handicap can help to build a better nation for all of us. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in accordance with the joint resolution of [36 USC 155](/us/usc/t36/s155). Congress approved August 11, 1945 (59 Stat. 530), designating the first full week of October of each year as National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week, do hereby call upon the people of our Nation to observe the week beginning October 5, 1969, for such purpose.
During that week I urge all the Governors of States, mayors of cities, and other public officials, as well as leaders of industry, educational and religious groups, labor, civic, veterans’, agricultural, women’s, scientific, professional, and fraternal organizations, and all other interested organizations and individuals, including the handicapped themselves, to participate in this observance. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred sixty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the one hundred ninety-fourth. 3928 September 11, 1969 LEIF ERIKSON DAY, 1969 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3928 LEIF ERIKSON DAY, 1969 September 11, 1969 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Leif Erikson and his crew of adventurous Norse seafarers sailed across the northern seas nearly a thousand years ago and landed on the 83 Stat. 959 shores of North America.
These resourceful explorers opened new horizons to the west—a truly courageous and historic achievement. Born of vision, courage and determination, Leif Erikson’s success became an inspiration for later accomplishments. The spirit of Leif Erikson has continued to inspire millions of people, particularly the ten million Americans whose ancestors came from the Viking lands. It is especially appropriate that we recognize Leif Erikson’s explorations in 1969, the year in which a new kind of explorers landed on the moon and returned home to inspire all mankind from now on.
I am honored to comply with the request of the Congress of the United States, in a joint resolution approved September 2, 1964 (78 Stat. 849), that the President proclaim October 9 in each year as [36 USC 169c](/us/usc/t36/s169c). Leif Erikson Day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Thursday, October 9, 1969, as Leif Erikson Day; and I direct the appropriate government officials to display the flag of the United States on all government buildings on that day.
I also invite the people of the United States to honor the memory of Leif Erikson on that day by holding appropriate exercises and ceremonies in schools and churches, or other suitable places. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred sixty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth. 3929 September 11, 1969 COLUMBUS DAY, 1969 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3929 COLUMBUS DAY, 1969 September 11, 1969 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation On October 12 we again celebrate in honor of the great sea captain and explorer whose historic westward voyage across the Atlantic led to the permanent settlement of America.
Respect for the achievement of Christopher Columbus is especially appropriate this year when we have witnessed an epic journey of discovery, the journey to the moon. Both the voyages of Columbus and those of our modern astronauts are expressions of man’s great ambition to confront the unknown, and to master the challenges of distance and space. We remember also that Columbus was a man of Italy, a noble example for the many other men of Italy who have come to our country and to so many other lands of the new world.
Sailing in the service of the Spanish crown, which had the vision to support his courage and initiative, Christopher Columbus opened America for all the people of the world. In tribute to the memory of Columbus, the Congress of the United States, by a joint resolution approved April 30, 1934 (48 Stat. 657), [36 USC 146](/us/usc/t36/s146). requested the President to proclaim October 12 of each year as Columbus Day for the observance of the anniversary of the discovery of America. 83 Stat. 960 NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Sunday, October 12, 1969, as Columbus Day; and I invite the people of this nation to observe that day in schools, churches, and other suitable places with appropriate ceremonies in honor of the great explorer.
I also direct that the flag of the United States be displayed on all public buildings on the appointed day in memory of Christopher Columbus. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred sixty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth. 3930 September 12, 1969 NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE WEEK, 1969 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3930 NATIONAL HISPANIC HERITAGE WEEK, 1969 By the President of the United States of America September 12, 1969 A Proclamation One of America’s great strengths is her diversity.
A wide variety of peoples have made contributions to our nation; each has added its own strength and charm to American life, and each provides an on going link between our culture and those of other countries around the world. The Hispanic culture is one to which this nation is particularly indebted. Men of Hispanic origin were among the first Europeans to explore this hemisphere. For four centuries men and women of His panic descent have provided distinguished leadership in our country and in other New World countries, both in government and in other walks of life.
Today the people of the United States are reminded of this rich heritage in many ways. Millions of our citizens speak Spanish, and Hispanic names and traditions grace many parts of our landscape, including both the town where I was born and the place where I am making my new home. This country’s Hispanic heritage is particularly important because it reminds us of the great traditions we share with our neighbors in Latin America. In fact, when the Congress, just a year ago, requested the President to issue annually a proclamation setting aside one week [82 Stat. 848](/us/stat/82/848).
Hispanic Heritage Week, it designated the week which includes the [36 USC 169f](/us/usc/t36/s169f). dates of September 15th and 16th, when five Central American nations and the Republic of Mexico celebrate their Independence Days. The Hispanic culture is one of depth, excitement, and beauty. It has crossed borders and mountains and oceans, and has made its influence felt in all parts of the globe. In honoring it, we give strength to that international understanding which is indispensable to world order.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning September 14, 1969, as National Hispanic Heritage Week. I call upon all of the people of the United States, and especially the educational community, to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. 83 Stat. 961 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of Sept., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred sixty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth. 3931 September 12, 1969 STAY IN SCHOOL Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3931 STAY IN SCHOOL By the President of the United States of America September 12, 1969 A Proclamation As the summer ends, many young Americans are deciding whether to continue their formal education.
For economic and personal reasons some will be tempted to drop out. Most of those who abandon their classrooms will be forced to contest for jobs with others who possess better educational credentials. With out an opportunity to acquire relevant experience, they may be continually unable to obtain positions offering prospects for advancement. Experience has proven that citizens sufficiently concerned to provide potential dropouts with encouragement and counseling can play a decisive role in persuading them to continue their education.
The course of thousands of lives can be constructively influenced by this kind of individual action. Parents, teachers, religious advisors, and friends can all contribute to the national welfare by urging young people to stay in school. Private and public employers can help by providing part-time jobs to those for whom the need to have income is critical. To secure wide public participation in an effort to limit the number of youths who drop out of school, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim a national Stay in-School campaign.
I call upon Governors, Mayors, and other public officials to join with me in focusing continuing civic attention on this effort. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred sixty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth. 3932 September 15, 1969 NATIONAL FOREST PRODUCTS WEEK, 1969 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3932 NATIONAL FOREST PRODUCTS WEEK, 1969 By the President of the United States of America September 15, 1969 A Proclamation From the time of the first settlers, the forests of America have been valued for their beauty and their usefulness.
The beauty and majesty of the great American forests have given us incomparable benefits; the utility of the forests has given us shelter, furnishings, chemicals, papers, and a host of other products essential to our well-being and comfort. 83 Stat. 962 American forests grow on one-third of our entire country and provide us with over ten billion cubic feet of raw material every year. Equally important they have yielded even more benefits in the form of water conservation, forage, and recreation for the additional betterment of life for all Americans.
The Congress, in order to re-emphasize the importance and heritage of our forest resources, has by a joint resolution of September 13, 1960 [36 USC 163](/us/usc/t36/s163). (74 Stat. 898), designated the seven-day period beginning on the third Sunday of October in each year as National Forest Products Week, and has requested the President to issue an annual proclamation calling for the observance of that week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of the United States to observe the week beginning October 19, 1969, as National Forest Products Week, with activities and ceremonies designed to direct public attention to the forest resources with which we have been so abundantly blessed and to the riches which they provide for our material and spiritual advantage.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred sixty-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth. 3933 September 16, 1969 NATIONAL FARM-CITY WEEK, 1969 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3933 NATIONAL FARM-CITY WEEK, 1969 By the President of the United States of America September 16, 1969 A Proclamation As our society becomes more complex, it also grows more interde pendent.
The behavior of each individual has a direct impact on the lives of others. What happens in one area of the country affects events in other areas. Occurrences in every walk of life and every section of society are inextricably intertwined. One significant example of such interconnections can be found in the interdependence of urban and rural America. It is important that the people of our country come to understand that interdependence more fully than we do at present. It is not well known for instance that agriculture serves as a $50 billion customer to our economy.
The marketing and processing of food and fiber provide almost 5 million non-farm jobs and a $25 billion annual payroll. At the same time, technological changes on the farm have so increased agricultural efficiency that record production has been achieved by fewer people. Many rural residents have therefore migrated to the cities. While some have become productive contributors to urban society, many others have been unable to find new economic roles. The relationship between urban and rural America will never be constant—but it will always be important.
It will always require close examination and careful rethinking. It is to that end that I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America do hereby designate the week of November 21 through November 27, 83 Stat. 963 1969, as National Farm-City Week. I call upon all Americans to participate in this observance. I particularly urge the Department of Agriculture, the land-grant colleges and universities, the Cooperative Extension Service, and other appropriate organizations to carry out programs to mark this occasion, including public meetings and exhibits, and presentations in news papers and in magazines, on radio and on television.
I urge that such programs emphasize: —the development of better understanding and more effective working relationships between those who live on the farm and those who live in non-farm areas; —the enormous scientific and technological advances in agriculture and their significance for the lives of both rural and urban dwellers; —the vital need to plan more effectively the way we will use our land, conserve our natural resources, and protect the quality of our environment; —the importance of maintaining and enhancing the social and economic health of farms and rural communities; —the urgency of providing opportunities for disadvantaged people in both rural and urban areas to participate more fully in the economic life of the nation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-fourth. 3934 September 17, 1969 GENERAL VON STEUBEN MEMORIAL DAY Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3934 GENERAL VON STEUBEN MEMORIAL DAY By the President of the United States of America September 17, 1969 A Proclamation It is with pleasure that I comply with the request of a joint resolution of the Congress that today, September 17, 1969, be proclaimed as *Ante*, p. 115.
General von Steuben Memorial Day. When Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben joined Washington at Valley Forge, he was among the first of more than eight million Germans who came to our shores in search of liberty. As he went on to distinguish himself in battle at Monmouth and Yorktown, General von Steuben became a symbol of the contributions made to the cause of freedom by more than 26 million Americans of German descent who live and work and serve in every part of our country and in every aspect of our national life.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate September 17, 1969, as General von Steuben Memorial Day. I call upon all officials of the Government to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings, and I invite all of our 83 Stat. 964 people to join with our citizens of German descent who today are conducting special ceremonies to commemorate General von Steuben’s birth. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and sixty’nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety’fourth. 3935 September 24, 1969 AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK, 1969 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3935 AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK, 1969 By the President of the United States of America September 24, 1969 A Proclamation There are times in the lives of men and in the lives of institutions when basic questions must be asked.
Such a time has come for the institution of which many Americans have been most proud: our system of education. We have reached a point at which we must take a close, long, hard look at what is good and what is bad about our schools, at what should be strengthened and what should be eliminated. Yet even as we make such an examination we must all agree on one basic principle: we must not allow our schools to be captured by violence or dominated by ideological dogmatists. Our schools are not perfect, but this lack of perfection is no excuse for lawbreaking or a lack of civility and decency on the part of any critic, no matter how deeply he feels or how little he thinks.
Those of us who have attended public, private and religiously affiliated schools and colleges realize that no single act can ever repay the institutions and the men and women who serve them for what they did for us. The overwhelming majority of students today feels the same way. A good education is a form of rebirth, a way toward economic and intellectual achievement, an affirmation that an individual human being’s thoughts are important, that his emotions can find creative direction, that he is a man and not a thing.
This is what education can do at its best. This is what all Americans, young and old, black and white, must preserve, expand and protect. Therefore, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the period of November 9 through November 15, 1969, as American Education Week. I urge all Americans to join with me during this week in a thoughtful examination of our education system and in formulating ways in which education in America can be improved where needed, by the traditional American way of reason and open discussion.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fourth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred sixty-nine and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth. 3936 September 24, 1969 VETERANS DAY, 1969 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation
