92 STAT. 3932 Proclamation 4573 • May 30, 1978 Flag Day and National Flag Week, 1978 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The American flag has grown and changed with the Nation. But for two hundred years, the United States remained unchanging in its commitment to the ideals which gave birth to that flag. To commemorate the anniversary of the adoption on June 14, 1777 by the Continental Congress of the Stars and Stripes as the official flag of the United States of America, the Congress has requested the President to issue a proclamation calling for the observance of the fourteenth day of June of each year as Flag Day and the week in which that day occurs as National Flag Week (36 U.S.C. 157 and 157a).
To encourage the American people to reflect upon their Nation, its heritage, and its course in the years ahead, the Congress, by joint resolution of June 13, 1975, has set aside the twenty-one days from Flag Day through Independence Day as a period to honor America (36 U.S.C. 157b). NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the American people to observe June 14, 1978 as Flag Day and the week beginning June 11, 1978 as National Flag Week.
I direct the appropriate officials of the Government to display the flag on all Government buildings during that week and ask the American people to display our flag al their homes and other suitable places for the same period. I also ask each American to observe the period from Flag Day through Independence Day as a period to honor America. To that end, I ask all Americans to participate in local activities that reflect an understanding and appreciation of America and its institutions.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of May, 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.

In addition to their traditional role as breadwinner for the family, many fathers are playing a greater role in raising children and in the home. The preservation of America’s family structure will, in large measure, depend upon their ability to meet these demands. 92 STAT. 3933 To honor our Nation's fathers, and to provide an opportunity to reflect upon their contributions to our society, the Congress, by joint resolution of April 24, 1972 (86 Stat. 124; 36 U.S.C. 142a), has asked the President to issue annually a proclamation calling upon the American people to observe the third Sunday in June of each year as Father's Day.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby request that Sunday, June 18, 1978, be observed as Father’s Day. I direct Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on that day and I urge all citizens to display the flag at their homes and other suitable places. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of June, 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.

In our open society, they have an additional duty—that of making such knowledge available beyond the gales of the campus.
It was in recognition of that duty that the first university-affiliated press was established, in 1878, at John's Hopkins University. In the century since, our country's university presses have established an admirable tradition of literary and graphic quality Today the standard of excellence which they have established is being applied to an ever-increasing variety of subjects. As a result, one-sixth of all American books in print today are issued by American university presses.
In recognition of the impact, both here and abroad, of American university presses on culture and scholarship, the Ninety-fifth Congress, by joint resolution (S.J. Res. 140) has asked the President to issue a proclamation commemorating the*Ante,* p. 318. American university press.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of June, 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.
