92 STAT. 3934 Proclamation 4576 • June 30, 1978 Free Enterprise Day, 1978 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The development of the American economy has historically been the result of the interaction between the abundant natural resources of our land and the enterprising spirit of our people. Our system of economic enterprise reflects many of the same values that are embodied in our political system of democracy and civil liberty. Excessive government regulation—regulation that does not serve the public interest—must concern us all.
Unfortunately, free enterprise is sometimes easier to praise than to practice. But all who believe in free enterprise can take heart from the fact that when it is reintroduced into areas of our economy where it has long been dormant, the results can be salutary. A good example is the airline industry, where recent administrative steps toward greater competition have quickly led to both lower fares and higher profits, confirming the advisability of permanent deregulation by law. *Ante.* p. 364.By joint resolution (S.J.
Res. 128), the Congress has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation designating July 1, 1978, as “Free Enterprise Pay.” NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim July 1, 1978, as Free Enterprise Day. I call upon the people of the United States and interested groups and organizations to mark this observance with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth 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.
Jimmy Carter 4577 July 4, 1978 Quantitative Limitation on the Importation of Certain Meat Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States A Proclamation Proclamation 4577 • July 4, 1978 Quantitative Limitation on the Importation of Certain Meat By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Act of August 22, 1964 (78 Stat. 594; 19 U.S.C. 1202 note), provides for the limitation of certain meat imports if import estimates exceed 110 percent of an adjusted base quantity for that year.
The limitation applies to fresh, chilled, or frozen cattle meat and fresh, chilled, or frozen meat of goats and sheep, except lamb. On December 30, 1977, the Secretary of Agriculture determined (43 FR 987) in [19 USC 1202 note](/us/usc/t19/s1202).accord with Section 2(b)(1) of the Act that the adjusted base quantity of meat for the calendar year 1978 is 1,183.9 million pounds. The Secretary now has estimated (in the 1978 third quarterly estimate) that the aggregate imports of meat for 1978 will be 1,492.3 million pounds.
This estimate exceeds 110 percent of the previously determined adjusted base quantity for 1978. 92 STAT. 3935 In accord with Section 2(c) of the Act, the President must limit the import of meat to the adjusted base quantity for 1978 of 1,183.9 million pounds, unless he increases or suspends that limitation pursuant to Section 2(d) of the Act. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by Section 2 of the Act, do hereby proclaim as follows: 1.
