84 Stat. 2221 Proclamation 3970 NATIONAL FARM SAFETY WEEK, 1970 By the President of the United States of America March 10, 1970 A Proclamation The efficiency of American agriculture and the quality of life for agricultural workers is threatened today by the continued high rate of farm accidents. Many thousands of farm residents lose their lives or are seriously injured in accidents every year. Both the human and the financial costs of these accidents are intolerable. A quarter century of experience in organizing for rural safety has shown that most farm accidents could be prevented through sensible practices and protective devices.
Safety information and mechanical safeguards are readily available and their consistent use should be actively encouraged. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of July 19, 1970 as National Farm Safety Week. I urge all farm families, and every person and group allied with agriculture, to make every effort permanently to reduce the number of accidents which occur at work, in homes, at recreation, and on the roadways.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth. 3971 March 20, 1970 CANCER CONTROL MONTH, 1970 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation Proclamation 3971 CANCER CONTROL MONTH, 1970 By the President of the United States of America March 20, 1970 A Proclamation Cancer strikes Americans of all ages and in all walks of life.
It continues to rank as the second greatest killer among diseases, and the death rate due to it is rising. Research into this disease has progressed significantly in recent years—in the areas of cause and treatment, as well as prevention. To build on this progress, this Administration’s Fiscal Year 1971 budget increases Federal funds for cancer research by nearly 17 percent, This research attack will not overtake the onslaught of cancer unless all Americans encourage and support, the intensive effort carried on by our scientists, physicians and health administrators against this menace to the health and welfare of our people.
In recognition of the urgency of the cancer problem, the Congress, by a joint resolution of March 28, 1938 (52 Stat. 148), requests the [36 USC 150](/us/usc/t36/s150).President to issue annually a proclamation setting aside the month of April as Cancer Control Month.
