85 Stat. 950 PROCLAMATION 4091 Youth Appreciation Week, 1971 November 5, 1971 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. once said: “I think that, as life is action and passion, it is required of a man that he should share the passion and action of his time at peril of being judged not to have lived.” We can be proud of the extent to which our young men and women today are playing an active role in the continuing growth of our Nation.

In organizations as diverse as student governments, vocational education, civic, social, business, religious and social action groups, these young citizens are learning the ideals of America by putting them into practice. Hard work, cooperation, patriotism, and individual excellence—all of these come to be cherished by those who participate constructively in this building of America. And often this learning has expanded the ideals and conscience of America, refreshing our spirit.

As we move into the third century of our republic, the mantle of responsibility and leadership will be passed to this generation of Americans. I am convinced that the youth of today will wear that mantle proudly, carry out the responsibilities of adulthood and leadership with conviction and concern for their fellow man, and reflect great credit on their country. In recognition of the national resource America’s youth represents, and to promote greater understanding between our generations, the Congress by a joint resolution approved July 2, 1971 (Public Law *Ante*, p. 100.92–43), designated the seven-day period beginning November 8, 1971, as Youth Appreciation Week, and requested the President to issue a 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 of November 8 through November 14, 1971, as Youth Appreciation Week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. I ask the education and social service professions, the communications media, and all other interested persons and groups to unite during the appointed week in public recognition of the youth of this Nation. 85 Stat. 951 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 5th day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-sixth. 4092 November 5, 1971 Modifying Proclamation No. 3279, Relating to Imports of Petroleum and Petroleum Products Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation PROCLAMATION 4092 Modifying Proclamation No. 3279, Relating to Imports of Petroleum and Petroleum Products By the President of the United States of America November 5, 1971 A Proclamation The Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has found that the national security will not be adversely affected by changes in the oil import program which would —extend indefinitely the provision permitting the importation of No. 2 fuel oil into District I, —enable holders of allocations made pursuant to this program to obtain No. 2 fuel oil manufactured in Puerto Rico, and —authorize the suspension, from time to time, of the requirement that such No. 2 fuel oil be manufactured in the Western Hemisphere from crude oil produced in that hemisphere.

The Director, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has recommended that Proclamation No. 3279 , as amended, be further [73 Stat. c25](/us/stat/73/c25); [84 Stat. 2264](/us/stat/84/2264).[19 USC 1862 note](/us/usc/t19/s1862).amended to adjust imports and to improve the administration of the program in conformity with these findings. I agree with the findings and recommendations of the Director and deem it necessary and consistent with the security objectives of Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, to adjust the imports of petroleum and petroleum products, and to improve the administration of the program, as hereinafter provided. 85 Stat. 952 NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including [76 Stat. 877](/us/stat/76/877).[19 USC 1862](/us/usc/t19/s1862).[76 Stat. c25](/us/stat/76/c25).[19 USC 1862 note](/us/usc/t19/s1862).section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, do hereby proclaim that, effective as of the date of this Proclamation, Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, is further amended as follows: 1. [84 Stat. 2266](/us/stat/84/2266).

Subparagraph

(1)of paragraph

(a)of section 2 is amended to read as follows: " “Except as otherwise provided in this proclamation, the maximum level of imports (exclusive of imports from Canada provided for in paragraph

(a)of section 1A), subject to allocation, of crude oil, unfinished oils, and finished products (other than residual fuel oil to be used as fuel) into Districts I–IV for a particular allocation period, shall be an amount equal to the difference between

(i)960,000 barrels per day during that allocation period and

(ii)the quantity of crude oil and unfinished oils which may be imported pursuant to paragraph

(h)of section 1A of this proclamation during the particular allocation period plus the quantity estimated by the Secretary by which shipments of unfinished oils and finished products (other than residual fuel oil to be used as fuel) from Puerto Rico to Districts I–IV during that allocation period will exceed the quantity (as adjusted by the Secretary as he may determine to be consonant with the objectives of this proclamation) so shipped during a comparable base period in the year 1965. Within this maximum level, imports of unfinished oils and imports of finished products (other than residual fuel oil to be used as fuel) shall not exceed such levels as the Secretary may determine to be consonant with the objectives of this proclamation. In addition to the imports permitted under the first sentence of this paragraph, for the period January 1, 1971 through December 31, 1971, and for each allocation period thereafter, there may be imported into District I, an average of 45,000 barrels per day of No. 2 fuel oil, manufactured in the Western Hemisphere from crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere, for allocation, under regulations of the Secretary, to persons in the business in District I of selling No. 2 fuel oil who do not have crude oil import allocations into Districts I–IV and who operate deep water terminals in District I or have through-put agreements with deep water terminal operators in District I who do not have crude oil import allocations into Districts I–IV, on a fair and equitable basis, to the extent possible, in relation to such persons’ inputs of No. 2 fuel oil to such terminals, having regard to any product import allocations into Districts I–IV made to such persons. No person who manufactures in Puerto Rico No. 2 fuel oil from crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere shall incur a reduction of an allocation or be deemed to have violated a condition of an allocation by reason of a shipment of such oil to a person who holds an allocation under the preceding sentence and who relinquishes an amount of 85 Stat. 953the allocation equal to the amount so shipped, so long as the total of all such shipments from Puerto Rico during a particular allocation period does not exceed an average of 5,000 barrels per day. Whenever the Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, as a result of his surveillance under paragraph

(a)of section 6, finds that because of supply, price or other considerations, the requirement that such No. 2 fuel oil be manufactured and produced in the Western Hemisphere is restricting the availability of such oil for importation into District I and is not required for the national security, he shall so advise the Secretary who may then suspend such requirement by appropriate regulation. No such suspension shall be renewed except upon a new finding by the Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness as required under the preceding sentence. The Secretary may, by regulation, provide that a holder of an allocation for the importation of No. 2 fuel oil under the provisions of this subparagraph may import crude oil produced in the Western Hemisphere in lieu of No. 2 fuel oil, barrel for barrel, and exchange such crude oil for No. 2 fuel oil.” " IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 5th day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-sixth. 4093 November 5, 1971 Thanksgiving Day, 1971 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation PROCLAMATION 4093 Thanksgiving Day, 1971 By the President of the United States of America November 5, 1971 A Proclamation One of the splendid events which shape man’s destiny occurred when a small band of people, believing in the essential sanctity of their own being, went in search of a land in which their individuality might be the highest national value, before any arbitrary limitation or duty placed upon some men by the whim or design of others. They went in search of a land where they might live out their own commitment to their own ideal of human freedom. In the purpose of their search, the human spirit found its ultimate definition, and in the product of their search, its ultimate expression. They found the land they sought, and it was a difficult land, but it was rich. With their sacrifices they brought forth its riches, and laid the foundation for a new nation. 85 Stat. 954 But more than that, they revealed a new possibility for the expression of man’s spirit. In the sure unfolding of that possibility man has begun to experience a world in which he may do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with his God forever. For what those early settlers established, we give thanks in a way which began with them. In their first years on the hard cold edge of man’s bright golden dream, they were tried and their faith was tested. But when their bodies failed, their faith did not. The stark simple words on a sarcophagus in a little village on the seacoast of Massachusetts tell the story well: “This monument marks the first burying-ground in Plymouth of the passengers of the Mayflower. Here, under cover of darkness, the fast dwindling company laid their dead; leveling the earth above them lest the Indians should learn how many were the graves.” Yet, because mankind was not created merely to survive, in the face of all hardship and suffering, these men and women—and those of the other early settlements—prevailed. And the settlers gathered to give thanks for God’s bounty, for the blessings of life itself, and for the freedom which they so cherished that no hardship could quench it. And now their heritage is ours. What they dared to imagine for this land came to pass. What they planted here prospered. And for our heritage—a land rich with the bountiful blessings of God, and the freedom to enjoy those rich blessings—we give thanks to God Almighty in this time, and for all time. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, in accordance with the wish of the Congress [82 Stat. 250](/us/stat/82/250).as expressed in Section 6103 of Title 5 of the United States Code, do hereby proclaim Thursday, November 25, 1971, as a day of national thanksgiving. I call upon all Americans to share this day, to give thanks in homes and in places of worship for the many blessings our people enjoy, to welcome the elderly and less fortunate as special participants in this day’s festivities and observances, thereby truly showing our gratitude to God by expressing and reflecting His love. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-sixth. 4094 November 12, 1971 National Farm-City Week, 1971 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation
