93 STAT. 1515 Proclamation 4661 of May 18, 1979 National Museum Day, 1979 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Museums are the custodians of a substantial part of humankind’s heritage, whether produced by the skill of our ancestors or by our contemporaries. Museums are centers of research for scholars, of education, of enlightenment for younger generations, and a source of enjoyment and cultural enhancement for all. Museums enrich the quality of our communities and provide a sense of continuity and perspective which can enhance, in a unique way, the cultural opportunities which are provided by schools, colleges, universities, libraries and other institutions of learning.

In recognition of the contribution made by the museums of our Nation to the preservation of the heritage of the United States and to the furtherance and understanding of the peoples of the United States the 96th Congress, by House Joint Resolution 262, has designated May 18, 1979, as National*Ante*, p. 25. Museum Day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 18, 1979, as National Museum Day, and call upon the people of the United Slates.

State and local government agencies, and interested organizations to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs, IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 18th day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third. Jimmy Carter 4662 May 22, 1979 National Hispanic Heritage Week, 1979 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4662 of May 22, 1979 National Hispanic Heritage Week, 1979 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation From the earliest days of our Nation’s history, Hispanics have played a central role in our country’s development.

First as explorers, then as settlers, and today as leaders in all segments of society, men and women of Hispanic ancestry have contributed greatly to our national heritage. As a nation, we have not always properly appreciated these contributions. Too often, Hispanics have been the victim of stereotypes and prejudice. 93 STAT. 1516Even today, Hispanics endure a disproportionately high unemployment rate. As a nation, we must reaffirm our commitment to eliminate these residues of prejudice and bigotry.

Our Hispanic American communities continue to grow with our Nation. They share with our Nation a deep pride in their language and culture, and a sense of justice and compassion which nurtures our democratic system and keeps it progressing. It is important that we recognize these singular benefits and encourage their perpetuation. This country must continue to provide its many ethnic groups with the opportunity to contribute their ideas, their experience, and their energies to the betterment of our society.

We must be receptive to the richness of diverse cultures, but we also must work to assure that all Americans benefit in turn from the resulting improvements. With the assistance of our Hispanic citizens and through our own continued commitment, these goals will be achieved. In 1968, our government formally acknowledged the value of our Hispanic [36 USC 169f](/us/usc/t36/s169f).heritage when Congress by joint resolution (82 Stat. 848) asked that the President issue an annual proclamation designating the week including September 15 and 16 as National Hispanic Heritage Week.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning Monday, September 10, 1979, as National Hispanic Heritage Week. I ask that all Americans reflect on the Hispanic heritage of our Nation and on the need to assure that all citizens share in the prosperity and abundance of our great country. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third.

Jimmy Carter 4663 May 24, 1979 Amendment of Proclamation No. 4610 Regarding the Allocations of Quotas on Certain Sugars, Sirups, and Molasses Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4663 of May 24, 1979 Amendment of Proclamation No. 4610 Regarding the Allocations of Quotas on Certain Sugars, Sirups, and Molasses By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. [19 USC 1202](/us/usc/t19/s1202). By Proclamation No. 4610 of November 30, 1978, I modified Headnote 3 of Subpart A, Part 10, Schedule 1 of the Tariff Schedule of the United States (19 U.S.C. 1202, hereinafter referred to as “TSUS”).

The proclamation was designed substantially to bring the United States into conformity with certain provisions of the International Sugar Agreement, 1977, which the United States is applying provisionally, by allocating a large portion of the sugar import quota to certain named countries which at the time of the issuance of the proclamation were parties or provisional parties to the International Sugar Agreement. 2. Taking into account the factors cited in Proclamation No. 4610, and in order to enable additional countries which have become or may decide to 93 STAT. 1517become parties or provisional parties to the International Sugar Agreement to share currently in the import quota set aside in Proclamation No. 4610 for the parties to the International Sugar Agreement, I find it appropriate to amend that proclamation by authorizing the Secretary of State to allocate the sugar quota among supplying countries or areas to the extent necessary to conform with the provisions of the International Sugar Agreement, 1977.

I find that the amendment hereinafter proclaimed is in conformity with the International Sugar Agreement, 1977, and that it gives, as provided for in Headnote 2, of Subpart A, Part 10, Schedule 1 of the TSUS, due consideration[19 USC 1202](/us/usc/t19/s1202). 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. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and statutes, including section 201 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, and in[19 USC 1821](/us/usc/t19/s1821). conformity with Headnote 2 of Subpart A, Part 10, Schedule 1 of TSUS, do hereby proclaim:

A. The first paragraph of Headnote 3 of Subpart A, Part 10, Schedule 1 of the TSUS is modified by substituting for the second sentence of that paragraph the following:" “This quantity shall be allocated among supplying countries or areas to the extent necessary to conform with the provisions of the international Sugar Agreement, 1977, by the Secretary of State or his designee, after appropriate consultations with the Secretary of Agriculture and the Special Trade Representative, The Secretary of State or his designee shall inform thePublication in Federal Register.

Commissioner of Customs of such allocation, which shall be published in the **Federal Register**. " B. The provisions of this proclamation shall become effective with respect to articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on the day following the publication in the **Federal Register** of the first allocation made pursuant to this proclamation, except that articles which were released under the provisions of section 448(b) of the Tariff Act of 1931 {19 U.S.C. 1448(b)) prior to such date shall not be denied entry.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fourth day of May, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third. Jimmy Carter 4664 June 4, 1979 National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day, 1979 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4664 of June 4, 1979 National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day, 1979 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In each of America’s past wars our prisoners of war have represented a special sacrifice.

On them has fallen an added burden of loneliness, trauma, and hardship. Their burden becomes double when there is inhumane treatment by the enemy in violation of common human compassion, ethical standards, and international obligations. 93 STAT. 1518 [92 Stat 497](/us/stat/92/497).The Congress has by Joint Resolution (Public Law 95–349) designated July 18, 1979, as “National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day.” As we now enjoy the blessings of peace, it is appropriate that all Americans recognize the special debt owed those Americans held prisoner during wartime.

It also is appropriate that we remember the unresolved casualties of war, our soldiers who are missing. The pain and bitterness of war endures for the families, relatives and friends of those whose fate is unknown. Our Nation will continue to seek answers to the questions that remain about their fate. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Wednesday, July 18, 1979, as National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day, a day dedicated both to all former American prisoners of war as well as those still missing and to their families.

I call on all Americans to join on this occasion in honoring those who made the special sacrifice of being captive in war, and their loved ones. And I call on State and local officials and private organizations to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third.

Jimmy Carter 4665 June 12, 1979 Extension of Temporary Quantitative Limitation on the Importation Into the United States of Certain Articles of Stainless Steel or Alloy Tool Steel Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4665 of June 12, 1979 Extension of Temporary Quantitative Limitation on the Importation Into the United States of Certain Articles of Stainless Steel or Alloy Tool Steel By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. [19 USC 1202 note](/us/usc/t19/s1202).

On June 11, 1976, by Proclamation 4445, the President proclaimed, pursuant to the Constitution and the statutes of the United States (including section 203 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2253) (the Trade Act)), the imposition of temporary quantitative limitations on the importation into the United States of certain articles of stainless steel or alloy tool steel. These limitations were effective as to those articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June 14, 1976, and were to continue for a period of three years from that date unless earlier modified, or terminated.

Proclamation 4445 was subsequently modified by Proclamation 4477 of November 16, 1976, Proclamation 4509 of June 15, 1977, and Proclamation [19 USC 1202](/us/usc/t19/s1202).4559 of April 5, 1976. Import relief currently in effect under Proclamation 4445, as amended, with respect to articles provided for in items 923.20 through 923.26, inclusive, of the Tariff Schedules of the United States

(TSUS)(19 U.S.C. 1202], is scheduled to terminate at the close of June 13, 1979, unless extended by the President pursuant to section 203(h)(3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(h)(3)). 2. Pursuant to sections 203(i)(2) and (i)[3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(i)(2) and (i)(3)), the United States International Trade Commission (USITC), on April 24, 1979, reported to the President (USITC Report 203–5) 93 STAT. 1519the results of its investigation under section 203(i) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(1)). The USITC advised that it was evenly divided on the question of the probable economic effect on the domestic industry concerned of the termination of the import relief provided for in items 923.20 through 923,26, inclusive, of the TSUS. 3. Section 203(h)(3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(h)(3)) provides that any import relief provided pursuant to section 203 may be extended by the President, at a level of relief no greater than the level in effect immediately before such extension, if the President determines, after taking into account the advice received from the USITC under section 203{i)(2) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253[i)(2)) and after taking into account the considerations described in section 202(c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2252(c)), that such extension is in the national interest. 4. In accordance with section 203(h)(3) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(h)(3)), having taken into account the advice received from the USITC under section 203(i)(2) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253(i)(2)), and the considerations described in section 202(c) of the Trade Act [19 U.S.C. 2252(c)), I have determined that the extension of the import relief provided for in items 923.20 through 923.26, inclusive, of the TSUS is in the national interest.[19 USC 1202](/us/usc/t19/s1202). NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, acting under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes of the United States, including section 203 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2253), and in accordance with Article XIX of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade

(GATT)(61 Stat. (pt. 5) A58; 8 UST (pt. 2) 1786), do proclaim that—

(2)Subpart A, part 2 of the Appendix to the TSUS is modified as set forth in the Annex to this proclamation,
