92 STAT. 3916 Proclamation 4554 • March 16, 1978 World Trade Week, 1978 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation From the days of its founding, the United States has always been a trading nation. Commercial relations with the rest of the world enabled our country to develop, prosper, and grow strong. Today, more than ever, international trade is essential to our national well-being. For the American consumer, expanded trade means broader choices in the marketplace.
For American business, it means more opportunities to sell the products of American ingenuity in the world's markets. For the American worker, it means more jobs at home. International trade encourages the exchange of ideas as well as knowledge and experience among nations. It helps make better use of global resources and nurtures trust among the world's nations. The United States is firmly committed to fair and open trade. To that end, we and our trading partners are pledged to eliminate impediments to trade, bring about sound and liberal trade rules, and keep the world's economy moving ahead.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United Stales, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 21, 1978, as World Trade Week, and I urge that all the people of the United Stales participate during this week in activities that will promote continuing awareness of the importance of world trade to our Nation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and second.
Jimmy Carter 4555 March 16, 1978 National Maritime Day, 1978 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States A Proclamation Proclamation 4555 • March 16, 1978 National Maritime Day, 1978 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The American Merchant Manne is the lifeline that links America with its overseas trading partners. In times of peace, it builds our economy; in times of national emergency, it provides logistic support to our armed forces.
In recognition of the importance of the American Merchant Manne, the Congress, by joint resolution of May 20, 1933 (48 Stat. 73; 36 U.S.C. 145), designated May 22 of each year as National Maritime Day in commemoration of the departure from Savannah, Georgia, on that date in 1819 of the SS SAVANNAH on the first transatlantic voyage by any steamship, and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its appropriate observance. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby urge the people of the United States to honor our American 92 STAT. 3917Merchant Manne on May 22, 1978, by displaying the flag of the United States at their homes and other suitable places, and I request that all ships sailing under the American flag dress ship on that day.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and second. Jimmy Carter 4556 March 21, 1978 National Farm Safety Week, 1978 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States A Proclamation Proclamation 4556 • March 21, 1978 National Farm Safety Week, 1978 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation All Americans, and a sizeable portion of the rest of the world's people, depend upon American agriculture for much of their food and fiber.
Anything that diminishes the ability of farmers and ranchers to meet these vital needs is of great concern. Farm accidents are among the costliest impediments to production and cause great suffering and economic loss. Accidents can destroy the lives and bodies, as well as the economic resources of farm families. Neither the individuals involved, nor the Nation, can afford these losses. Farm safety leaders believe that most farm accidents could be prevented with greater care in controlling hazards and unsafe practices—the same kind of dedicated, careful management and attention to detail that has made possible our incredible increase in agricultural production.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning July 25, 1978, as National Farm Safety Week. I call upon the men and women who operate the Nation's farms and ranches to regard safety as an integral part of all their activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and second.

Their success in achieving these goals is due in large measure to the Organization of American States, the world's oldest regional organization. Through the Organization of American States we in the Western Hemisphere have developed a unique system of cooperation which promotes political understanding, economic progress and social justice. An organization of great vitality and adaptability, it is now responding vigorously to the new challenges of the last quarter of the twentieth century.
For these reasons, the United States continues, and will continue, to lend its full support to the Organization of American States and the Inter-American System. Accordingly, it is appropriate that we join with its other members in reaffirming our mutual commitment to friendship, trust and cooperation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United Stales of America, do hereby proclaim Friday, April 14, 1978, as Pan American Day, and the week beginning April 9, 1978 as Pan American Week and call upon all Americans to honor these observances with ceremonies and activities that will reflect the continuing commitment of the United States of America to a peaceful and productive relationship among the nations and peoples of the Western Hemisphere.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-third day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and second.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Wednesday, May 3, 1978, as Sun Day and call upon the American people to observe that day with appropriate activities and ceremonies that will demonstrate the potential of solar energy. I direct all appropriate Federal agencies to support this national observance.
