He has therefore recommended an increase of 915,000 barrels per day in licensed imports into Districts I–IV, including the Canadian component of those imports. The Director, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has also found that there may be a threat of temporary shortage of No. 2 fuel oil in the current season and has recommended that the requirement for allocations of such fuel oil be suspended for the period January 1, 1973, through April 30, 1973. He has also recommended certain technical *Post*, p. 1187.amendments to Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, relating to foreign trade zones, gilsonite, oil shale and liquefied gases. In each instance above, the Director has found that his recommended changes would not adversely affect the national security. The Director, with the advice of the Oil Policy Committee, has taken into account the estimates of the Secretary of the Interior of the quantity of crude oil and natural gas liquids that will be produced in Districts I—IV, adjusted to reflect other national security determinations, and has recommended that Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, be further amended to adjust imports 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 87 Stat. 1151petroleum products, and to improve the administration of the program, as hereinafter provided. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, acting under and by virtue of the authority vested in my by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, do hereby proclaim that, [76 Stat. 877](/us/stat/76/877).[19 USC 1862](/us/usc/t19/s1862).effective as of this date, Proclamation No. 3279, as amended, is further amended as follows: 1.

Today, it embraces some 325,000 members in the more than 6,000 American communities, that have chapters of the United States Jaycees, and it enriches the lives of communities in 80 countries around the world through the affiliates of Junior Chamber International. Yet even in its maturity the Jaycees organization retains a youthful outlook, and even with its global scope it continues to build on the individual member—first helping him be the best man he can be, then helping him help his fellow man in need, one to one. The Jaycee cares about people, and he shows it. He cares about progress, and he does something about it. He lives by the creed that “Service to humanity is the best work of life,” and he throws himself into that work both as a vocation and as an avocation. He is the kind of young man this country will need in great numbers to help meet the challenges of our Bicentennial Era and our coming third century. It is fitting that we should annually give special recognition and encouragement to him and to his organization. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICHARD NIXON, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning January 21, 1973, as National Jaycee Week—a time for the expression of America’s gratitude for the many significant contributions of the U.S. Jaycees. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-seventh. 4180 January 23, 1973 Announcing the Death of Lyndon Baines Johnson Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America Proclamation
