94 STAT. 3718 Proclamation 4723 of February 19, 1980 Small Business Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Small business has long played a vital role in our Nation’s economy and way of life. This past January, I was honored to participate in the first White House Conference on Small Business. I had the opportunity to hear first-hand, the ideas, problems and aspirations of men and women from the small business community. As a former small businessman, I was impressed with their energy, determination, and above all, their hope for the future of our country.

The small business community constitutes the single most important segment of our free enterprise system. It accounts for forty-eight percent of our gross national product, more than half of the American labor force, and continues to be the major source of inventions and new jobs. Small business is truly the backbone of the American economy. 1 urge my fellow citizens to learn more about its role and importance in our society. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 11, 1980, as Small Business Week, and 1 urgently call on every American to join me in this very special tribute.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth. JIMMY CARTER 4724 February 19, 1980 Iwo Jima Commemoration Day Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4724 of February 19, 1980 Iwo Jima Commemoration Day By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Thirty-five years ago Americans were pitted in battle on a small, barren island called Iwo Jima.

The standard of courage established by the men of the V Marine Amphibious Corps in that battle is unsurpassed. Because we now enjoy the blessings of the freedom for which those men sacrificed so much, it is appropriate for us to reflect upon the high price of that freedom. For 35 days, men of the 3rd, 4th and 5th Marine Divisions fought to secure the strategic island of Iwo Jima. The cost of the eventual American victory was the highest in Marine Corps history: 5,931 dead and 17,272 wounded.

Of the over 20,000 Japanese defenders on Iwo Jima, only 1,083 survived. But the victors and the vanquished alike shared uncommon valor as a common virtue. 94 STAT. 3719 The Congress has by Joint Resolution (H.J. Res. 469) designated February*Ante*, p. 64. 19, 1980 as Iwo Jima Commemoration Day. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Tuesday, February 19, 1980 as Iwo Jima Commemoration Day. I call on all Americans to join on this occasion in honoring those Americans who served on Iwo Jima.

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 nineteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth. JIMMY CARTER 4725 February 19, 1980 Honoring the Memory of Walt Disney Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4725 of February 19, 1980 Honoring the Memory of Walt Disney By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In the world of entertainment no name is more widely known than that of Walt Disney.

For nearly fifty years, his creations brought us laughter and love, joy and gladness. The products of his imagination will enthrall and delight many more generations of children of all ages in every country on earth. The House of Representatives, by a joint resolution of February 13, 1980.*Ante*, p. 65. has requested the President to issue a proclamation honoring the memory of Walt Disney for his contribution to the American dream. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby call upon the people of this Nation to recall the accomplishments of Walt Disney and to honor his memory on February 19, 1980.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth. JIMMY CARTER 4726 February 21, 1980 Application of Certain Laws of the United States to the Northern Mariana Islands Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4726 of February 21, 1980 Application of Certain Laws of the United States to the Northern Mariana Islands By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Northern Mariana Islands, as part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, are administered by the United States under a Trusteeship Agreement between the United States and the Security Council of the United Nations (61 Stat. 3301).

Pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 2 of the Trusteeship94 STAT. 3720[61 Stat. 3302](/us/stat/61/3302).Agreement, the United States has undertaken to promote the economic advancement and self-sufficiency of the inhabitants and to encourage the development of the fisheries of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands. The United States and the Northern Mariana Islands have entered into a Covenant to Establish a Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the United States of America (Public Law 94–241; 90 [48 USC 1681](/us/usc/t48/s1681) note.[48 USC 1681](/us/usc/t48/s1681) note.Stat. 263) pursuant to which many provisions of the laws of the United States have become applicable to the Northern Mariana Islands as of January 9, 1978 (Proclamation No. 4534.

Sec. 2). Section 1004(a) of the Covenant provides that if the President finds a provision of the Constitution or laws of the United States to be inconsistent with the Trusteeship Agreement, the application of that provision to the Northern Mariana Islands may be suspended until the termination of that Agreement. Certain provisions of the vessel documentation laws of the United States, applicable to the Northern Mariana Islands, prevent citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands and the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands from using foreign-built, United States registered fishing vessels owned by such citizens or owned by or in the custody of the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands to fish in the territorial sea and fishery conservation zone around the Northern Mariana Islands and to land their catch of fish in the Northern Mariana Islands.

Because of the considerable distance of the Northern Mariana Islands from American shipyards and resultant high transportation costs associated with the purchase of American-built ships for use in the Northern Marianas fisheries, this result is inconsistent with the undertakings assumed by the United States in the Trusteeship Agreement to provide for the economic advancement and self-sufficiency of the inhabitants and to encourage the development of the fisheries of the Northern Mariana Islands.

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 1004(a) of the Covenant to Establish a Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the [48 USC 1681](/us/usc/t48/s1681) note.United States of America, do hereby find, declare and proclaim as follows: 1. Any provision of the vessel documentation laws of the United States which prevents the citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands or the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands from using foreign-built, United States registered fishing vessels, owned by such citizens or owned by or in the custody of the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands, to fish in the territorial sea and fishery conservation zone around the Northern Mariana Islands and to land their catch of fish in the Northern Mariana Islands, including that part of R.S. 4132, as amended. 46 U.S.C. 11, which reads “* * * which are to engage only in trade with foreign countries, with the Islands of Guam, Tutuila, Wake.

Midway, and Kingman Reef * * would be inconsistent with the objectives of the Trusteeship Agreement to the extent it has this effect. 2. The application of any such provision to foreign-built, United States registered fishing vessels owned by citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands or owned by or in the custody of the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands, is suspended to the extent it is inconsistent as described in Section 1 above until the termination of the Trusteeship Agreement for the Former Japanese Mandated Islands in the Pacific (61 Stat. 3301).

Foreign-built fishing vessels owned by citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands or owned by or in the custody of the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands may therefore be registered under R.S. 4132, as amended, 46 U.S.C. 11, and any restrictive endorsement upon such register, prescribed by 46 CFR 67.63–9(b) 94 STAT. 3721pursuant to 46 U.S.C. 11, shall be without effect insofar as it would prevent the citizens of the Northern Mariana Islands or the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands from using foreign-built, United States registered fishing vessels owned by such citizens or owned by or in the custody of the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands to fish in the territorial sea and fishery conservation zone surrounding the Northern Mariana Islands and to land their catch of fish in the Northern Mariana Islands. 3.

For the purposes of this proclamation, the seaward limit of the fishery conservation zone surrounding the Northern Mariana Islands is 200 nautical miles from the baseline from which the breadth of the territorial sea is measured, except that to the north of the Northern Mariana Islands, the limit of the fishery conservation zone shall be determined by straight lines connecting the following points: 1. 20°52’42 “N„ 141°2O’53”E. 2. 23°02’19“N„ 144°00’56”E. 3. 23°53’25 “N., 145°05’59”E. and. except that to the south of the Northern Mariana Islands, the limit of the fishery conservation zone shall be determined by straight lines connecting the following points: 4. 15°43’28”N., 142°05’43’’E. 5. 14”55T8”N„ 143°15’29 “E. 6. 14°47’43 “N. 143°26’23”E. 7. 14°30’07 “N., 143°51’50”E. 8. 14°11TO’’N„ 144°26’36”E. 9. 14°05’34’’N., 144°36’47”E. 10. 13°57’14 “N„ 144°51’43”E. 11. 13°53T1 “N„ 144°59’19”E. 12. 13‘’51’18 “„ 145’03’00”E. 13. 13°51’16 “N„ 145°03’05 ”E. 14. 13’’5T00”N„ 145°03’36”E. 15. 13°50’ll“N., 145’06’15”E. 16. 13’49’15 “N„ 145°08’37’’E. 17. 13°47’40 “N„ 145°12’31”E. 18. 13°46’00 “N., 145’16’14”E. 19. 13°45’27 “N„ 145°17’23”E. 20. 13’41’18’’N., 145°26’08 ”E. 21. 13’37’16 “N„ 145°34’33”E. 22. 13’36’23 “N., 145“36’21”E. 23. 13°35’54 “N., 145°37’14”E. 24. 13‘16’24 “N., 146°12’14”E. 25. 13°05’18’N., 146°32’02”E. 26. 13°00’17 “N„ 146°41’05”E. 27. 12°33’02’’N., 147’29’57’’E. 28. 12°14’34 “N., 148°03’ll”E. 29. 12°13’55’’N„ 14804’31”E. 4.

JIMMY CARTER 4727 February 27, 1980 Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week, 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4727 of February 27, 1980 Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation America’s strength is in the heart of its people and the richness of its cultural diversity. Those who have come from Asian and Pacific countries have long added a special quality to our American mosaic. In spite of adversity, in spite of violence inflicted on their peoples and cultures, Asian and Pacific Americans have shed sweat and blood in the struggle for America’s nationhood and in the quest for freedom and opportunity. Out of all proportion to their numbers, Asian and Pacific Americans have contributed to our Nation’s progress in a wide range of fields—science, the arts, literature, agriculture, industry and commerce. Bringing with them the strong and varied traditions of their Asian and Pacific homelands—China, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, the Pacific Islands, and Southeast Asia—they have greatly enriched our cultural heritage and institutions. As we welcome new groups of Asian and Pacific peoples to our shores, our hearts are saddened by the suffering that has caused many of them to leave their homelands, but we are proud to be able to offer them freedom and hope and opportunity in America. As we work together to help them make the difficult adjustments to a new land and new lives, we are deeply aware of our debt to the generations of Asian and Pacific Americans who have come before them. We are grateful for their presence and glad for the opportunity to continue our tradition as a land of immigrants, people who have come from every corner of the earth, united by a common commitment to human rights and human liberty. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, declare the seven days beginning May 7, 1980. as Asian/Pacific American Heritage Week. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set may hand this twenty-seventh day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth.
