93 STAT. 1522 Proclamation 4667 of July 10, 1979 National Energy Supply Shortage By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Secretary of Energy has advised me that the continued reduction in world crude oil production has resulted in a national energy supply shortage constituting a severe energy supply interruption as defined in Section 3(8) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6202(8)). The Secretary based his conclusion on the fact that current and projected imports of crude oil and petroleum products, plus available stocks, are not adequate to meet normal demand and that shortages of essential fuels have begun to have a major adverse impact on the economy with the possibility of more severe impacts occurring in the future.
Recent shortages of gasoline in some areas of the Nation and the current inadequate levels of heating oil stocks have underscored the seriousness of the situation and demonstrate that action must be taken now to conserve available supplies of petroleum. On the basis of the Secretary’s report, and other information available to me, I hereby find and determine, in accordance with Sections 201 (b] and 3(8) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6261(b), 6202(8)), the existence of a national energy supply shortage constituting a severe energy supply interruption, which:
(A)is of significant scope and duration and of an emergency nature;
(B)may cause major adverse impact on national safety or the national economy; and
(C)has resulted from an interruption in the supply of imported petroleum products. I further find that implementation of the Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions, Energy Conservation Contingency Plan No. 2, is required by the severe energy supply interruption. This Plan was transmitted by me to the Congress on March 1, 1979, and approved by a resolution of each House (S. Res. 122,125 Cong. Rec. S 5135 (May 2, 1979); H. Res. 209, 125 Cong. Rec. H 3018 (May 10, 1979)), which resolutions have been transmitted to me by the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House, Those resolutions were received by me on May 4 and May 15, 1979, respectively. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, including Section 201(b) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6261(b)), do hereby proclaim that: Section 1. A severe energy supply interruption, as defined in Section 3(8) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6202(8)) currently exists with respect to the supply of imported crude oil and petroleum products. Sec. 2. This finding shall be immediately transmitted to the Congress. Sec. 3. The provisions of the Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions. Energy Conservation Contingency Plan No. 2 (44 FR 12911 of March 8, 1979), shall become effective as of July 16, 1979. Sec. 4. In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, the Secretary of Energy is hereby authorized to issue regulations for the purpose of implementing the Energy Conservation Contingency Plan No. 2 and to administer the program in all respects. 93 STAT. 1523 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this tenth day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.

" 4669 July 17, 1979 United States Space Observance, 1979 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4669 of July 17, 1979 United States Space Observance, 1979 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Ten years ago this week, the Apollo astronauts changed forever, for all humanity, our concept of the universe and our relation to it. Their electrifying landing on the Moon—that “giant leap” to the surface of another world—was an unparalleled triumph of determination and technological genius. It epitomized the strength and the potential of the American people. During ten years since, space has become part of our daily lives. We use it for essential communications and for monitoring our environment. Nationally and internationally, the exploration and use of space hold even greater promise in the future for the wiser management of our planetary resources, for the expansion of knowledge, and for the development of civilization. *Ante*, p. 87.In recognition of this triumph, the Congress, by joint resolution (H.J. Res. 353], has requested that the period of July 16 through 24, 1979, be designated as “United States Space Observance.” As we face new challenges as a nation—notably the challenge of achieving energy security—let us reflect upon the courage of the Apollo astronauts, and their predecessors in the Mercury and Gemini programs. And let us take courage and inspiration from the success of America’s effort to land the first men on the Earth’s Moon and return them safely. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the period of July 16 through July 24, 1979, as “United States Space Observance.” In accord with the congressional resolution, I call upon the people of the United States to observe this period with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.
