93 STAT. 1441 Proclamation 4606 • October 20, 1978 National Family Week, 1978 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Families differ, but the values of family life are unchanging—warmth, love, compassion, support, and understanding. Families are the building blocks of civilization. Our social and individual achievements, be they great or small, can generally be traced to early family influences. Family values are our most fundamental and lasting heritage.

Changing social patterns have threatened family stability. In today’s increasingly complex world it is important to maintain the values and continuity of family life. All families are important, but the extended family, the foster family and the adoptive family play a special role by relieving the isolation of those who lack the comfort of a loving nuclear family. Tints, National Family Week offers the opportunity to pay special tribute to those who open their homes and provide the warmth of family life to those who would otherwise be alone.

We salute all families as we focus attention this week on opportunities to restore their strength and help them meet the challenges of contemporary society. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, in accordance with a joint resolution of Congress, do hereby proclaim the[92 Stat. 1094](/us/stat/92/1094). week of November 19, 1978, as National Family Week and call upon the American people to observe this week with appropriate thoughts and actions in their houses and communities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third. Jimmy Carter 4607 October 20, 1978 Thanksgiving Day, 1978 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4607 • October 20, 1978 Thanksgiving Day, 1978 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Since 1621, the people of this country have gathered each year to celebrate with a feast their good fortune in their continuing ability to provide for families and friends.

On this Thanksgiving Day, we reaffirm our faith in our heritage of freedom, and our spirit of sharing. In the spirit of Thanksgiving. Americans humbly recognize how fortunate we are to be strong—as individuals, and as a nation. It is that strength which allows us to display compassion for those around the world who face difficulties that our forefathers, blessed with the American land, were able to overcome. While Providence has provided Americans with ferule land and bountiful harvests, other nations and peoples have not been so favored.

Each year growing food 93 STAT. 1442supplies give us greater cause for giving thanks, yet one person in six worldwide still suffers from chronic hunger and malnutrition. Two hundred years ago the Continental Congress proclaimed a day of thanks, and asked for deliverance from war. This year, let us observe Thanksgiving in the spirit of peace and sharing, by declaring it a day of Thankful Giving, a day upon which the American people share their plenty with the hungry of other lands.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, in accordance with Section 6103 of Title 5 of the United States Code, do proclaim Thursday, the 23rd of November, 1978, as Thanksgiving Day. I call upon the Governors, Mayors, and all other State and local officials to broaden the observance of Thanksgiving to include the practice of Thankful Giving in their celebration, inviting Americans to share with those abroad who suffer from hunger. I call upon the American people to make personal donations to religious or secular charities to combat chronic hunger and malnutrition, and to support the concept of thankful Giving in order that we may one day assure that no individual anywhere will suffer from hunger, and that we may move to a day of universal celebration in a more perfect community within our nation and around the world.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third. Jimmy Carter 4608 November 15, 1978 Temporary Duty Increase on the Importation Into the United States of Certain High-Carbon Ferrochromium Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4608 • November 15, 1978 Temporary Duty Increase on the Importation Into the United States of Certain High-Carbon Ferrochromium By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1.

Pursuant to section 201(d)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 (the Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 2251(d)(1)), the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) on September 5, 1978, reported to the President (USITC Report 201–35) the results of its investigation under section 201(b)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2251(b)(1)). The USITC determined that ferrochromium, containing over 3 percent by weight of carbon, provided for in item 607.31 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States

(TSUS)(19 U.S.C. 1202) is being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury to the domestic industry producing an article like or directly competitive with the imported article. The USITC recommended the imposition of tariff increases on the column 1 rate of 30 percent ad valorem in the first year declining to 20 percent ad valorem in the fifth year of relief. 2. On November 2, 1978, 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)), 1 determined to remedy the injury found to exist by the USITC through the proclamation of a temporary duly increase different from that recommended by the USITC, 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 proclaim a temporary duty increase 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 15 days after the import relief determination date. 4. Pursuant to section 203(a)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(a)(1)), I am providing import relief through the temporary increase of import duty on ferrochromium, containing over 3 percent by weight of carbon, valued less than 38 cents per pound, as hereinafter proclaimed. 93 STAT. 1443 NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the[USC prec. title 1](/us/usc/t1/). statutes of the United States, including General Headnote 4 of the TSUS (19 U.S.C. 1202), sections 203 and 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253 and 2483), and in accordance with Articles I and XIX of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade

(GATE)(61 Stat. (pt. 5) A 12 and 61 Stat. (pt. 5) A 58: 8 UST (pt. 2) 1786), do proclaim that—

(1)Part 1 of Schedule XX to the GATT is modified to conform to the actions[61 Stat. A1157](/us/stat/61/A1157). taken in the Annex to this proclamation.

(2)Subpart A, part 2 of the Appendix to the TSUS is modified as set forth in[19 USC 1202](/us/usc/t19/s1202). the Annex to this proclamation.

(3)This proclamation shall be effective as to those articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 17, 1978, and before the close of November 16, 1981, unless the period of its effectiveness is earlier expressly modified or terminated. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third. Jimmy Carter ANNEX Subpart A, part 2 of the Appendix to the TSUS is modified by inserting in numerical sequence the following new provision: Rates of Duty Item Articles 1 2 Period 923.18 Ferrochromium, containing over 3 percent by weight of carbon, valued less than 38 cents per pound, provided for in item 607.31 4.625¢ per lb. on chromium content 4.626¢ per lb. on chromium content On or before 11/15/81 4609 November 28, 1978 Bill of Rights Day Human Rights Day and Week, 1978 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4609 • November 28, 1978 Bill of Rights DayHuman Rights Day and Week, 1978 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Two great events in the history of human liberty will be commemorated in December: the ratification. On December 15, 1791, of the Bill of Rights of the[USC prec. title 1](/us/usc/t1). Constitution of the United States, and the adoption, on December 10, 1948, of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations General Assembly. The anniversary of the Bill of Rights reminds us that our Nation is a continuing experiment in human freedom. Because of the Bill of Rights, we have been able to weather 187 years of tumultuous social and technological change without losing our fundamental liberties. Indeed, those liberties have actually expanded in scope, and 93 STAT. 1444have grown to encompass a steadily larger proportion of our people. We can be proud of what we have achieved. But we cannot be complacent, for too many Americans are still denied a fair opportunity to enjoy the rights and rewards of our society. That is why Bill of Rights Day should be a day of rededication as well as of commemoration. This year, we mark the 30th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration is the cornerstone of a developing international consensus on human rights. It is also the authoritative statement of the meaning of the United Nations Charter, through which member nations undertake to promote, respect and observe human rights and fundamental freedoms for all, without discrimination. A long and difficult road must be travelled before the reality of human rights in the world matches the words of the Declaration. The Declaration will light that road and give strength to all who follow it, The Universal Declaration is the heart of a body of important United Nations human rights documents: the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, the Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the Covenant on Economic. Social and Cultural Rights. The United States signed the Genocide Convention in 1948 and the Racial Discrimination Convention in 1966. I signed the other two Covenants on October 4, 1977. I hope that the United States Senate will soon approve the Genocide Convention at last, and will undertake early hearings to permit our Nation’s adherence to the three remaining instruments. There could be no more appropriate gesture to mark the anniversary of the Universal Declaration. I also signed the American Convention on Human Rights on June 1, 1977. I am proud that since then, eleven nations of the Americas have ratified it, thus bringing it into force. The great and noble struggle to realize the rights of ail men and women goes on. In the face of injustice and oppression, human beings continue to sacrifice and strive for justice and for human dignity. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim December 10, 1978, as Human Rights Day and December 15, 1978, as Bill of Rights Day, and call on all Americans to observe Human Rights Week beginning December 10, 1978. Let us reaffirm our dedication to the promise of this Nation for all citizens. And let us renew our efforts as members of the world community on behalf of the human rights of all people everywhere. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third. Jimmy Carter 4610 November 30, 1978 Modification of Quotas on Certain Sugars, Sirups, and Molasses Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4610 • November 30, 1978 Modification of Quotas on Certain Sugars, Sirups, and Molasses By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. By Proclamation 4334 of November 16, 1974, the President modified Subpart A, Part 10, Schedule 1 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States (19 U.S.C. 1202, hereinafter referred to as the “TSUS”) to establish, effective January 1, 1975, [7 USC 1100 note](/us/usc/t7/s1100).following expiration of the Sugar Act of 1948, rates of duty and a quota applicable to sugars, sirups and molasses described in items 155.20 and 155.30 of the TSUS. 93 STAT. 1445The President subsequently modified the rates of duty by Proclamation 4463 of September 21, 1976, Proclamation 4466 of October 4, 1976, and Proclamation 4539 of November 11, 1977.[19 USC 1202](/us/usc/t19/s1202). 2. The President took these actions pursuant to authority vested in him by the Constitution and statutes of the United States, including section 201(a)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1821(a)(2)). and in conformity with Headnote 2 of Subpart A of Pan 10 of Schedule 1 of the TSUS, hereinafter referred to as[19 USC 1202](/us/usc/t19/s1202). the “Headnote.” The Headnote was pan of a trade agreement which embodied the results of the “Kennedy Round” of international trade negotiations That agreement is known formally as the 1967 Geneva Protocol to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, and the agreement includes, as an Annex, “Schedule XX.” a schedule of[19 UST 1](/us/ust/t19/s1). United States trade concessions made during those negotiations. This agreement was concluded pursuant to section 201(a) of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1821(a)), and was implemented by Proclamation No. 3822. of December 16, 1967, (82 Stat. 1455) which, *inter alia*, added the Headnote to the TSUS. 3. The Headnote provides, tn relevant part, as follows:" “(i) ... if the President finds that a particular rate not lower than such January 1, 1968, rate, limited by a particular quota, may be established for any articles provided for in item 155.20 or 155.30, which will give due consideration to the interests in the United States sugar market of domestic producers and materially affected contracting parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, he shall[61 Stat. a3](/us/stat/61/a3). proclaim such particular rate and such quota limitation... “(ii) ... any rate and quota limitation so established all be modified if the President finds and proclaims that such modification is required or appropriate to give effect Co the above considerations; ...” " 4. Section 201(a)(2) of the Trade Expansion Act authorizes the President to[19 USC 1821](/us/usc/t19/s1821). proclaim the modification or continuance of any existing duty or other import restrictions, or such additional import restrictions as he determines to be required or appropriate to carry out any trade agreement entered into under the authority of that Act, except that pursuant to section 201 (b)(2) of the Act. the President may not by proclamation increase a rate of duty to a rate more than 50 percent above the rate existing on July 1, 1934. 5. I find that the modifications hereinafter proclaimed of the quota applicable to items 155.20 and 155.30 of the TSUS are appropriate to carry out the International Sugar Agreement, 1977, and that portion of the Kennedy Round Trade agreement set forth in the Headnote, and as provided for in the Headnote, give due consideration to the interests in the United States sugar market of domestic producers and materially affected contracting parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.[61 Stat. a3](/us/stat/61/a3).

Jimmy Carter 4611 December 1, 1978 Admiralty Island National Monument Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4611 • December 1, 1978 Admiralty Island National Monument By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Admiralty Island is outstanding for its superlative combination of scientific and historic objects. Admiralty Island contains unique resources of scientific interest which need protection to assure continued opportunities for study. Admiralty Island has been continuously inhabited by TIingit Indians for approximately 10,000 years. Archeological sites and objects are plentiful in the areas of Angoon, Chaik Bay. Whitewater Bay and other bays and inlets on the island. These resources provide historical documentation of continuing value for study. The continued presence of these natives on the island add to the scientific and historical value of the area. The cultural history of the TIingit Indians is rich in ceremony and creative arts and complex in its social, legal and political systems. Admiralty provides a unique combination of archeological and historical resources in a relatively unspoiled natural ecosystem that enhances their value for scientific study, Subsequent to exploration and mapping by Captain George Vancouver at the end of the 18th century, Russian fur traders, Yankee whalers, and miners and 93 STAT. 1447prospectors have left objects and sites on Admiralty which provide valuable historical documentation of white settlement and exploitation of the island and its resources. Admiralty Island is rich in historic structures and sites, including whaling stations, canneries, old mining structures and old village sites, for example, Killisnoo Village where a whaling and herring saltery station were established in 1880. Unusual aspects of the island ecology include its exceptional distribution of animal species, including dense populations of brown bears and eagles, but excluding entirely—because of the island’s separation from the mainland—a large number of species indigenous to the general area. This peculiar distribution enhances the island’s value for scientific study. The unique island ecology includes the highest known density of nesting bald eagles (more than are found in all the other States combined); large numbers of Alaska brown bear; and the largest unspoiled coastal island ecosystem in North America. Admiralty Island was added to the Tongass National Forest in 1909, and specific portions of the island have been designated as bear and eagle management areas and numerous scientific studies of the bear and eagle habitat have been conducted by scientists from around the world. The island is an outdoor living laboratory for the study of the bald eagle and Alaska brown bear. Protection of the entire island, exclusive of the Mansfield Peninsula, is necessary to preserve intact the unique scientific and historic objects and sites located there. Designation of a smaller area would not serve the scientific purpose of preserving intact this unique coastal island ecosystem. Hunting and fishing shall continue to be regulated, permitted and controlled in accord with the statutory authorities applicable to the Monument area. Section 2 of the Act of June 8, 1906 (34 Stat. 225, 16 U.S.C. 431), authorizes the President, in his discretion, to declare by public proclamation historic landmarks. historic and prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest that are situated upon the lands owned or controlled by the government of the United States to be National Monuments, and to reserve as part thereof parcels of land, the limits of which in all cases shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by section 2 of the Act of June 8, 1906, (34 Stat. 225, 16 U.S.C. 431), do proclaim that there are hereby set apart and reserved as the Admiralty Island National Monument all lands, including submerged lands, and waters owned or controlled by the United States within the boundaries of the area described on the document entitled “Admiralty Island National Monument (Copper River Meridian)”, attached to and forming a pan of this Proclamation.11 The description of the boundaries, and map are printed in the Federal Register of December 5, 1978 (43 FR 57011). The area reserved consists of approximately 1,106,000 acres, and is the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected, Lands, including submerged lands, and waters within these boundaries not owned by the United States shall be reserved as a part of the Monument upon acquisition of title thereto by the United States. All lands, including submerged lands, and all waters within the boundaries of this Monument are hereby appropriated and withdrawn from entry, location, selection, sale or other disposition under the public Land laws, other than exchange. There is also reserved all water necessary to the proper care and management of those objects protected by this Monument and for the proper administration of the Monument in accordance with applicable laws. The establishment of this Monument is subject to valid existing rights, including, but not limited to, valid selections under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement 93 STAT. 1448Act, as amended (43 U.S.C. 1601 *et seq*.), and under or confirmed in the Alaska Statehood Act (48 (J.S.C. Note preceding Section 21), Nothing in this Proclamation shall be deemed to revoke any existing withdrawal, reservation or appropriation, including any withdrawal under section 17(d)(1) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 (J.S.C. 1616 (d)(1)); however, the National Monument shall be the dominant reservation. Nothing in this Proclamation is intended to modify or revoke the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding dated September 1, 1972, entered into between the State of Alaska and the United States as part of the negotiated settlement of *Alaska* v. *Morton*, Civil No. A–48–72 (D. Alaska, Complaint filed April 10, 1972). Warning is hereby given to all unauthorized persons not to appropriate, injure, destroy or remove any feature of this Monument and not to locate or settle upon any of the lands thereof. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third. Jimmy Carter 4612 December 1, 1978 Aniakchak National Monument Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4612 • December 1, 1978 Aniakchak National Monument By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Aniakchak Caldera is located in the heart of the Alaska Peninsula, It is so unexpected a feature that it remained unknown to all but the Natives of the region until about 1920. With its average diameter of approximately six miles, Aniakchak is one of the world’s largest calderas. In the interior of the caldera are textbook examples of certain volcanic features such as lava flows, cinder cones, and explosion pits. Also lying within the caldera is Surprise lake which is fed by warm springs and is uniquely charged with chemicals. Surprise Lake is the source of the Aniakchak River, which cascades through a 1,500 foot gash in the caldera wall and downward for 27 miles to the Pacific Ocean. The flanks of the caldera provide a geological and biological continuum by which to make a comparative study of (he formation of the caldera and the significant process of biological succession of both plant and animal species occurring in the vicinity of the caldera, an area that was rendered virtually devoid of life forms by a major eruption of the volcano in 1931. The caldera is also climatologically unique in that, because of its topography and setting, it appears to be able to generate its own weather. A striking phenomenon known as cloud “niagaras” occurs frequently as strong downdrafts form over the caldera walls. The land withdrawn and reserved by this Proclamation for the protection of the geological, biological, climatological and other phenomena enumerated above supports now, as it has in the past, the unique subsistence culture of the local residents. The continued existence of this culture, which depends on subsistence hunting, and its availability for study, enhance the historic and scientific values of the natural objects protected herein because of the ongoing interaction of the subsistence culture with those objects Accordingly, the opportunity for local residents to engage in subsistence hunting is a value to be protected and will continue under the administration of the monument. 93 STAT. 1449 Section 2 of the Act of June 8, 1906 (34 Stat. 225, 16 U.S.C. 431), authorizes the President, in his discretion, to declare by public proclamation historic landmarks. historic and prehistoric structures, and other objects of historic or scientific interest that are situated upon the lands owned or controlled by the Government of the United States to be national monuments, and to reserve as part thereof parcels of land, the limits of which in all cases shall be confined to the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by Section 2 of the Act of June 8, 1906 (34 Stat. 225, 16 U.S.C. 431), do proclaim that there are hereby set apart and reserved as the Aniakchak National Monument all lands, including submerged lands, and waters owned or controlled by the United States within the boundaries of the area depicted as the Aniakchak National Monument on the map numbered ANIA–90.006 attached to and forming a part of this Proclamation.11 The map depicting the area is printed in the Federal Register of December 5, 1978 (43 FR 57015). The area reserved consists of approximately 350,000 acres, and is the smallest area compatible with the proper care and management of the objects to be protected. Lands, including submerged lands, and waters within these boundaries not owned by the United States shall be reserved as a pan of the monument upon acquisition of tide thereto by the United States. All lands, including submerged lands, and all waters within the boundaries of this monument are hereby appropriated and withdrawn from entry, location, selection, sale or other disposition under the public land laws, other than exchange. There is also reserved all water necessary to the proper care and management of those objects protected by this monument and for the proper administration of the monument in accordance with applicable laws. The establishment of this monument is subject to valid existing rights, including. but not limited to, rights confirmed in Section 15 of the Act of January 2, 1976 (89 Stat. 1145), and valid selections under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act,[43 USC 1611 note](/us/usc/t43/s1611). as amended (43 U.S.C. 1601 *et seq*.), and under or confirmed in the Alaska Statehood Act (48 U.S.C. Note preceding Section 21). Nothing in this Proclamation shall be deemed to revoke any existing withdrawal, reservation or appropriation, including any withdrawal under Section 17(d)(1) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (43 U.S.C. 1616(d)(1)); however, the national monument shall be the dominant reservation. Nothing in this Proclamation is intended to modify or revoke the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding dated September 1, 1972, entered into between the State of Alaska and the United States as part of the negotiated settlement of *Alaska* v. *Morton*, Civil No, A–48–72 (D. Alaska, Complaint filed April 10, 1972). The Secretary of the Interior shall promulgate such regulations as are appropriate, including regulation of the opportunity to engage in a subsistence lifestyle by local residents. The Secretary may close the national monument, or any portion thereof, to subsistence uses of a particular fish, wildlife or plant population if necessary for reasons of public safely, administration, or to ensure the natural stability or continued viability of such population. Warning is hereby given to all unauthorized persons not to appropriate, injure, destroy or remove any feature of this monument and not to locate or settle upon any of the lands thereof IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third.
