Among our most important links with the past are the historic sites, structures, and landmarks of earlier times. Together, they form a vast legacy of cultural resources.
This legacy, however, is not merely one of monuments, battlefields, and histone buildings. It includes the houses, streets, stores and factories that make up our communities—those familiar places and structures that remind us of the accomplishments. character, and dreams of our forebears. For our own sake, and for that of future generations of Americans, we must do all that lies within our power to preserve this cultural heritage. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America. do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 7, 1978, as National Historic Preservation Week.
I call upon Government agencies at all levels, interested private individuals and organizations, and Americans everywhere, to mark this observance with appropriate ceremonies and activities in their communities and neighborhoods. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United Slates of America the two hundred and second.

It is a promise to share in fulfilling all the unique potential of a helpless newborn child, and to shape that person into an independent, responsible adult For some, motherhood means guiding bright minds, strong bodies, and exquisite talents—maintaining a delicate balance between humanity and the special gifts of God. For others, motherhood means helping a weak body or an unawakened mind overcome burdens that may often seem too great to bear. For both, motherhood brings the privilege of seeing the tired world through fresh eyes and the satisfaction of knowing that one has met another’s needs in a way no other could.
To the mothers of America, in recognition of their achievements in the art of raising a new generation of Americans and as an acknowledgment of all they have 92 STAT. 3930done to shape our national character, the Congress, by joint resolution of May 8, [38 Stat. 771](/us/usc/t38/s771).[36 USC 142](/us/usc/t36/s142). 1914 (38 Stat. 770; 56 U.S.C. 141), has set aside the second Sunday in May of each year as a day of special tribute.
