91 STAT. 1739 Proclamation 4506 • June 9, 1977 National Safe Boating Week, 1977 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation This year, more Americans than ever before will enjoy the challenges and pleasures of boating on our country’s lakes, rivers, and coastal waters. If they take time to learn the fundamentals of boating safety, needless tragedy can be avoided. In recognition of the growth in recreational boating, and of our continuing need to promote safety on our waterways, the Congress has by joint resolution of June 4, 1958 (72 Stat. 179, 36 U.S.C. 161) requested the President to proclaim the week of July 4 each year as National Safe Boating Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning July 3, 1977, as National Safe Boating Week. I urge everyone who participates in boating on American waterways to learn the basic rules of safety. This information is readily available in courses offered by such organizations as the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary, the United States Power Squadrons, the American Red Cross, and by various agencies of state governments.

I also invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa, and the Mayor of the District of Columbia, to provide appropriately for the observance of the Week. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and first. Jimmy Carter 4507 June 10, 1977 Black Press Day, 1977 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4507 • June 10, 1977 Black Press Day, 1977 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Nation’s first black newspaper was founded in 1827.

In the 150 years since, the black press has come to serve more than 25,000,000 Americans, and has been a major factor in their advancement. The black press has had to overcome great obstacles to achieve the respect it commands today as a voice for individual freedom, dignity, and equality. 91 STAT. 1740 That it has done so, while remaining faithful to the standards of professional journalism, is a tribute to the dedication, responsibility and zeal of its members. As we go forward with our efforts to make equality of opportunity a reality for all Americans, we will continue to depend on the black press to provide us with guidance, insight and wisdom.

I urge every American to support the continuing efforts of the black press to help assure that America achieves its full potential. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Friday, June 17, 1977, as Black Press Day. I urge all Americans to reflect upon the contributions of the black press to the realization of the principles upon which our Nation was founded. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and first.

Jimmy Carter 4508 June 11, 1977 Flag Day and National Flag Week, 1977 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4508 • June 11, 1977 Flag Day and National Flag Week, 1977 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Two hundred years ago, on June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress adopted the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States. In these two centuries our Nation has changed in many ways, but our flag remains an appropriate symbol of America.

Its bold colors reflect the courage and determination of the American people, as its straight and simple lines reflect their straightforward character. In celebrating this two hundredth anniversary let us resolve to honor our country’s flag by displaying in our lives the qualities it reflects. To commemorate the adoption of our Nation’s flag, the Congress, by joint resolution of August 3, 1949 (63 Stat. 492, 36 U.S.C. 157), has requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its appropriate observance.

By joint resolution of June 9, 1966 (80 Stat. 194, 36 U.S.C. 157a), the Congress also requested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating the week which includes June 14 as National Flag Week. To encourage the American people to take pride in the Nation which that flag symbolizes, the Congress, by joint resolution of June 13, 1975 (89 Stat. 211, 36 U.S.C. 157b), has declared the twenty-one days from Flag Day through Independence Day as a period to honor America. 91 STAT. 1741 NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning June 12, 1977, as National Flag Week and I call upon the appropriate officials of the Government to display the flag on all Government buildings during that week.

I urge the American people to celebrate Flag Day and National Flag Week by displaying the flag of the United States at their homes and other suitable places. I also call upon all Americans to observe the period from Flag Day through Independence Day as a period to honor America through public gatherings and other suitable activities that will demonstrate their pride in their Nation and its accomplishments. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and first.

Jimmy Carter 4510 June 22, 1977 Implementation of Orderly Marketing Agreements—and the Temporary Quantitative Limitation on the Importation Into the United States of Certain Footwear Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4510 • June 22, 1977 Implementation of Orderly Marketing Agreements—and the Temporary Quantitative Limitation on the Importation Into the United States of Certain Footwear By the President of the United States A Proclamation 1. On February 8, 1977, the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) reported to the President (USITC Publication 799) the results of its investigation under section 201

(b)of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2251 (b)) (the Trade Act). The USITC determined that footwear provided for in items 700.05 through 700.85, inclusive (except items 700.51, 700.52, 700.53, 700.54, and 700.60, and disposable footwear designed for one-time use provided for in item 700.85) of the Tariff Schedules of the United States (TSUS), are being imported into the United States[19 USC 1202](/us/usc/t19/s1202). in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury to the domestic industry producing articles like or directly competitive with the imported articles. The USITC recommended the imposition of certain tariff rate quotas on imports of the above specified articles. 2. On April 1, 1977, pursuant to section 202(b)

(1)of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2252(b)(1)), and after taking into account the considerations specified in section 202(c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2252(c)), I determined to remedy the injury found to exist by the USITC through the negotiation of orderly marketing agreements with appropriate suppliers of footwear, as authorized by section 203(a)(4) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a) (4)); and announced my intention to negotiate such agreements calling for limits on the export from certain foreign countries, and the import into the United States, of certain footwear. On April 1, 1977, in accordance with section 203(b)

(1)of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(b) (1)), I transmitted a report to the Congress setting forth my determination and intention to negotiate orderly marketing agreements and stating the reasons why my decision differed from the action recommended by the USITC. 3. Section 203(e)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(e)(1)) requires that import relief be proclaimed and take effect within 90 days after a Presidential determination to negotiate orderly marketing agreements. 91 STAT. 1744 4. [USC prec. title 1](/us/usc/t1). Pursuant to the authority vested in the President by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States, including section 203(a)

(4)of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(4)), orderly marketing agreements were concluded on June 14, 1977, be-tween the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of China, and on June 21, 1977, between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of Korea, limiting the export from the Republics of China and Korea, respectively, and the import into the United States, of footwear provided for in items 700.05 through 700.85, inclusive (except items 700.51, 700.52, 700.53, 700.54, 700.60, 700.75, and disposable footwear designed for one-time use provided for in item 700.85) of the TSUS. 5. Pursuant to section 203(k)

(1)of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(k)(l)), I have considered the relation of such actions to the international obligations of the United States. 6. In accordance with section 203(d)

(2)of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(d) (2)), I have determined that the level of import relief hereinafter proclaimed permits the importation into the United States of a quantity or value of articles which is not less than the average annual quantity or value of such articles imported into the United States from the Republic of Korea, and from the Republic of China, in the 1974–1976 period, which I have determined to be the most recent representative period for imports of such articles. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, including section 203 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253), and section 301 of title 3, United States code, do hereby proclaim:

The orderly marketing agreements account for a major part of the United States imports of the articles covered by the agreements. Said orderly marketing agreements are to be implemented according to their terms and as directed in this proclamation, including the Annex thereto.
