Gerald R. Ford 4371 May 1, 1975 Older Americans Month, 1975 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4371 · May 1, 1975 Older Americans Month, 1975 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation There is increasing awareness throughout America of the growing national resource represented by our older citizens. Their collective knowledge, experience, and energy can contribute significantly to raising the quality of life for all Americans. As we approach our national Bicentennial, it is important to take special notice of older Americans. They have made and are making significant contributions to our Nation. It is fitting that we not lose sight of the continuing contributions this generation can make nor of our commitment as a society to meet their needs. **Editorial Note **: For the text of the President’s letter to the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate, dated Apr. 30, 1975, concerning administrative actions deferring oil import license fees and phasing out price controls on old oil, see the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents (vol. 11, p. 467). 89 STAT. 1269 The first White House Conference on Aging in 1961 produced a Senior Citizens Charter of Rights and Obligations. The second White House Conference on Aging, held in 1971, broadened that recognition and deepened our commitment to providing opportunities to our older citizens for maintenance of income and health and for self-realization and continuing usefulness. It is appropriate to update the Charter in the light of growing knowledge and recognition of the needs and abilities of our older citizens. People of all ages should join in the development of a Declaration of Rights and Obligations of Older Persons so that it can be proclaimed as part of our Bicentennial celebration. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the month of May 1975 as Older Americans Month. I urge everyone to participate in the efforts to achieve the goal of proclaiming a new Declaration of Rights and Obligations for Older Persons, which can become a rallying point for our Nation during the Bicentennial year of 1976 and a guide to action during the years ahead. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth. Gerald R. Ford 4372 May 7, 1975 National Arthritis Month, 1975 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4372 · May 7, 1975 National Arthritis Month, 1975 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Arthritis, the oldest known chronic disease, is still the Nation’s greatest crippler. This disease and related rheumatic disorders afflict more than 20 million people in the United States, at an annual cost of about $4 billion, and are exceeded only by heart disease as the most common chronic illness in the country today. Recognition of this major public health problem and determination to combat it effectively have been demonstrated through the passage of the National Arthritis Act of 1974 by the United States Congress, which[42 USC 289c–1 note](/us/usc/t42/s289c–1). 89 STAT. 1270I was pleased to sign earlier this year. As this legislation makes plain, the total cost of arthritis must be counted not only in terms of dollars, but of human suffering and disability. Uncontrolled arthritis significantly decreases the quality of American life and has a negative economic, social, and psychological impact on the families of those afflicted. We have learned a great deal through governmentally and privately supported research. Yet this disorder is not fully understood and it is not adequately controllable. We must meet the critical need for new research ideas and studies upon which advances in the area of arthritis treatment and prevention can be based. Our goal continues to be the eventual elimination of arthritis as a cause of human suffering and dire expense to our Nation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of May, 1975, as National Arthritis Month. I urge the people of the United States and educational, philanthropic, scientific, medical and health care organizations and professionals to advance the programs of our national effort to discover the cause and cures of arthritis and other rheumatic diseases and to alleviate the suffering of victims of these disorders. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America, the one hundred ninety-ninth.

The President is authorized to determine the last day on which a person must have 89 STAT. 1271entered the active military, naval, or air service of the United States in order for such service to qualify as service during that period. The signing of the cease-fire agreements and implementing protocols on January 27, 1973, between the United States of America and the [24 UST 115, 1699](/us/ust/t24/s115/1699).Republic of Vietnam, on the one hand, and the Democratic Republic of Vietnam and the Provisional Revolutionary Government of the Re-public of South Vietnam on the other hand, has terminated active participation by the Armed Forces of the United States in the Vietnam conflict. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 101(29) of Title 38 of the United States Code, do hereby proclaim, for the purposes of said Section 101(29), that May 7, 1975, is designated as the last day of the “Vietnam era.” IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.

Ford 4374 May 10, 1975 National Historic Preservation Week Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4374 · May 10, 1975 National Historic Preservation Week By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The state of today’s world demonstrates the value of understanding and appreciating our origins and roots as a foundation for our present identity and our future hopes. America’s history lives throughout the Nation by the surviving examples of our man-made heritage—not only along the streets of our cities and towns but also in our rural areas. An indispensable element of the strength, the freedom and the constructive world leadership of this Nation is the **Editorial Note**: For the texts of the President’s statement and letter to the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate, dated May 7, 1975, concerning the eligibility period for benefits to Vietnam era veterans, sec the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents (vol. 11, pp. 498, 499). 89 STAT. 1272 knowledge and appreciation of our history, of who we are, where we are, and how we arrived here. Loss of the essential evidence of our heritage in the name of progress continues to occur. However, the counteracting effect of the historic preservation effort is increasingly evident and effective in both the public and private sector. National Historic Preservation Week offers a timely opportunity to illustrate what has been done and what can be accomplished in the future to carry out our national resolve to preserve this heritage. This includes not only structures of national historic significance but, of equal importance, old homes, buildings, both commercial and industrial, hotels, taverns, theaters and railroad passenger stations. These can be recycled for contemporary private, public, cultural, commemorative and other uses. Such uses of our historic man-made resources reflect our commitment to the enrichment of present and future generations of Americans, to preserve our historic past and to assure its enhancement and appreciation and to thus significantly contribute to the revitalization of rural, community and urban development. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States of America, as requested by a joint resolution of Congress, do hereby proclaim the calendar week beginning May 12, 1975, as National Historic Preservation Week. I call upon Government agencies at all levels, interested private individuals, and concerned citizens to mark this observance with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-ninth.
