94 STAT. 3749 Proclamation 4749 of April 14, 1980 National Farm Safety Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Every year hundreds of thousands of farm and ranch residents suffer unnecessary injury, and sometimes disability and death, from accidents on the farm. The annual cost of these accidents totals several billion dollars. But statistics do not reveal the depth of personal loss and grief experienced by the injured and their families. Though progress has been made in many areas of farm accident control, more can be done.

Safety leaders have demonstrated that accidents and injuries can be effectively reduced by greater caution in work habits, by consistent use of protective equipment, and by careful planning for emergencies. A safer agricultural environment will be more productive and better able to meet the tremendous food and fiber needs of our people in the decade ahead. NOW, THEREFORE, 1. JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the seven-day period beginning July 25, 1980. as National Farm Safety Week.

I urge the Nation’s farmers and ranchers to adopt safe and sensible work practices and to remove unnecessary home and workplace hazards. Further. I call upon those who serve agricultural producers to become full partners in farm and community safety efforts. IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of April 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 4750 April 15, 1980 Continuation of Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4750 of April 15, 1980 Continuation of Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation I find that continued implementation of the Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions, Energy Conservation Contingency Plan No. 2, is required[44 FR 12911](/us/fr/t44/12911). in the national interest.

This Plan was transmitted by me to the Congress on March 1, 1979, and approved by resolution of each House of Congress in the manner provided by law. This Conservation Plan was implemented by me nine months ago because it was clear in view of unstable world production of crude oil that we could not rely on imports to meet our normal demand. Worldwide production of crude oil now is at levels even below those of the comparable period last year. We have had to terminate crude oil imports from Iran, and have experienced increased uncertainty about the level of continued crude oil supplies from other producing countries.

Because of the actions of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and the tensions between Iraq and Iran, the threat to the stability of commerce in the countries of the oil-producing Persian Gulf has increased. 94 STAT. 3750 This shortage of reliable supply has resulted in continued high U.S. dependence on insecure crude oil imports, which have experienced rapid price increases, substantially increasing our inflation rate and creating a major adverse impact on the national economy. These effects are likely to be of significant scope and duration, and may be exacerbated by additional shortages which, should they occur, are likely to be of an emergency nature resulting from interruption of the supply of foreign petroleum.

The risk to the Nation from this reliance on insecure oil imports has not diminished since the Plan was implemented nine months ago. Under applicable law the finding that a shortage of energy supply requires implementation of the Plan must be considered anew nine months after it was made. I therefore renew the finding and determination contained in Proclamation [42 USC 6261](/us/usc/t42/s6261) note. No. 4667 of July 10, 1979 under sections 201(b) and 3(8) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6261(b), 6202(8)).

NOW. THEREFORE. 1. 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: Sec. 1–101. The finding and determination under sections 3(8) and 201(b) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6202(8), 6261(b)) contained in Proclamation No. 4667 of July 10, 1979 are hereby renewed.

Sec. 1–102. This Proclamation shall be immediately transmitted to the Congress. Sec. 1–103. The provisions of the Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions, Energy Conservation Contingency Plan No. 2 (44 FR 12911 of March 8, 1979) and the regulations thereunder, or any amendments thereto, shall continue in effect until January 16, 1981. unless earlier rescinded. Sec. 1–104. In accordance with the provisions of this Plan and the regulations thereunder, the Secretary of Energy is hereby authorized to continue the administration of the program in all respects.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth. JIMMY CARTER 4751 April 23, 1980 Amendment to Proclamation 4744 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4751 of April 23, 1980 Amendment to Proclamation 4744 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1862), and the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act of 1973, as amended (15 U.S.C. 751 *et seq.]*, Proclamation 4744, as *Ante*, pp. 3736, 3747.amended, is hereby amended as follows: 94 STAT. 3751 Section 1–101.

Section 3–101 of Proclamation 4744, as amended, is amended by redesignating paragraph

(c)and

(d)and by the addition of a new paragraph

(c)to read: " “(c) The Secretary may make such adjustments to the requirements imposed by this Proclamation, as are necessary to prevent special hardship; *provided, however*, that no such adjustments shall be made with respect to the obligation to purchase or sell entitlements imposed by Section 2–1 of this Proclamation or the obligation to pay the gasoline conservation fees required by Section 1–1 of this Proclamation.” " IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand on this twenty-third day of April, 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 4752 April 24, 1980 Jewish Heritage Week Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4752 of April 24, 1980 Jewish Heritage Week By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Ever since the first Dutch Jew set foot in New Amsterdam in 1654. Jews have been contributing bountifully to the culture and history of our country. Indeed, the history of the Jewish people in America goes all the way back to the Jewish scientists and mariners who helped Columbus reach the New World. Later, Jews took an active part in the War of Independence, in the settlement of the West, and in the dynamic expansion of American technology. In medicine, education, trade, the law, politics, the labor movement, religion, motion pictures, athletics, literature, and more, the Jewish people have richly endowed America and the American way of life. American Jews have made their heritage—a heritage of struggle for freedom, knowledge, and human dignity—part of the inheritance of all Americans. In recognition of this contribution, and in an effort to foster understanding and appreciation of the cultural diversity that has made America great, Jewish Heritage Week is celebrated each spring throughout the United States. This April is a particularly appropriate month because it contains events of special significance to the Jewish calendar—Passover, the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Israeli Independence Day, Solidarity Sunday for Soviet Jewry, and the Days of Remembrance of Victims and Survivors of the Holocaust. Therefore, the Congress of the United States, by joint resolution, has requested the President to proclaim April 21 through April 28, 1980. as Jewish Heritage Week (H.J. Res. 474).*Ante*, p. 338. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning Monday, April 21, as Jewish Heritage Week. I call upon the people of the United States, Federal and local government94 STAT. 3752 officials, and interested organizations to observe that week with appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fourth day of April 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 4753 April 28, 1980 National Energy Conservation Days, National Transportation Week, 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4753 of April 28, 1980 National Energy Conservation Days, National Transportation Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The security of our Nation and the vitality of our economy are dependent on our wise use of limited energy resources. Transportation consumes half of our petroleum fuel. As a Nation we have begun to conserve, but we can do much more—by using public transit, by joining carpools and vanpools, by driving efficiently, and by observing the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit. Public transit plays an important role in the life of our cities by providing an energy-efficient means of commuting, by helping to relieve congestion, by improving air quality, and by helping to revitalize our downtown areas. Public transit is the best, and sometimes the only, means of transportation for many of our elderly, our poor, and our very young. The national maximum 55 mile-per-hour speed limit is a proven way to save lives and energy. If all motorists obeyed the law, we would save almost 6 billion gallons of motor fuel each year. Compliance with the law also saves lives. For the three years before the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit became law annual fatalities averaged more than 54.000. For the following three years the average dropped to 45,000. proving that the law has been the single biggest factor in reducing highway fatalities. The immense expenditure for individual driving adds to inflation, seriously affects our balance of payments, and threatens our standard of living. Careful selection, operation, and maintenance of our vehicles can reverse the trend in operating costs for all of us and reduce the need for imported oil. Ridesharing has enormous energy-saving potential and can reduce substantially our Nation’s dependence on imported oil. Currently, 52 million people drive alone to work. If these drivers joined together in sharing the ride, at least 26 million cars would be removed from our congested highways, and we could save an additional 22.7 million gallons of fuel each workday and help improve our air quality. In view of the contributions of these measures to the conservation of our energy resources, NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, designate Monday, May 12, 1980, as National Public Transit Day Tuesday. May 13, 1980. as National Drive 55 Day Wednesday. May 14, 1980, as National Driver Efficiency Day, and Thursday. May 15, 1980. as National Ridesharing Day. 94 STAT. 3753 I urge all Governors, appropriate Federal officials, transportation organizations. and the people of the United States to join with the U.S. Department of Transportation in observing these days in recognition of the vital role that transportation plays in our daily lives and in the future of an energy-secure America. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of April, 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 4754 May 1, 1980 Prayer for Peace Memorial Day, May 26, 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4754 of May 1, 1980 Prayer for Peace Memorial Day, May 26, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation It has been a national tradition since the end of the Civil War to remember on Memorial Day the men and women of America who fought and died on the battlefield. We owe them a debt that can never be annulled. Their sacrifice endowed us with liberty and made our country a leader among nations. But on this day of mourning and of homage to the heroes of the past, let us also remember the duty we owe to coming generations to be firm in the cause of liberty. This past year we have had abundant proof that American courage still lives—eight Americans gave up their lives and others were seriously injured in the attempt to free their fellow Americans held hostage in Iran. We can take pride in our concern for national honor and in the firmness and restraint with which Americans face crisis. Mindful of our historic duty, we have become even more determined to defend our interests, protect our liberties, and promote our ideals. At the same time, we remain firmly committed to working with other nations to solve world problems together and to strengthen the foundations of world peace. In recognition of those Americans to whom we pay tribute today, the Congress. by joint resolution of May 11, 1950 (64 Stat. 158), has requested the[36 USC 169g](/us/usc/t36/s169g). President to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe each Memorial Day as a day of prayer for permanent peace and designating a period on that day when the people of the United States might unite in prayer. NOW, THEREFORE, 1. JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, 1980, as a day of prayer for permanent peace, and I designate the hour beginning in each locality at 11 o’clock in the morning of that day as a time to unite in prayer. I urge the press, radio, television, and all other information media to cooperate in this observance. 94 STAT. 3754 I also request the Governors of the United States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and the appropriate officials of all local units of government to direct that the flag be flown at half-staff during this Memorial Day on all buildings, grounds, and naval vessels throughout the United States and in all areas under its jurisdiction and control, and I request the people of the United States to display the flag at half-staff from their homes for the customary forenoon period. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of May. 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 4755 May 5, 1980 Salute to Learning Day, 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4755 of May 5, 1980 Salute to Learning Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Throughout our history, Americans have been committed to the ideas of education and learning. In the eighteenth century, the law often decreed that land be set aside in each township for public schools. In the nineteenth century, hundreds of towns that were scarcely more than clearings in the wilderness nevertheless had their Lyceums, named for the garden in Athens where Aristotle taught, and dedicated to public enlightenment. As our Nation grew, teachers in every town and city spread the love of learning and offered the opportunity to make the American dream come true. In the twentieth century, education has become available to Americans of all ages, both inside the classroom and through a widening range of facilities and technological aids that allow them to pursue whatever skills and knowledge they might wish from childhood through old age. America’s gifts to the world include not only our Constitution, the incandescent light bulb and the automobile, but the free public school and the land-grant college system. From the beginning we Americans have found practical ways to organize ourselves to make our dreams reality. And so we have built schools, public and private, from log cabin classrooms in the backwoods to gleaming city campuses of steel and marble. Today, education is our Nation’s largest enterprise. State and local governments have exercised primary responsibility for public education, gradually expanding its range. The Federal government has sought to ensure access to equal educational opportunity for all our people. Higher education—once the privilege of a tiny elite—is now within the reach of virtually every American. We have been able to build the most comprehensive and open system of public education in the world because of the continuing commitment of Americans to the essential freedom to pursue knowledge and truth, and to the principle that if the people are to rule, they must be prepared. Now, to meet the needs of the generations to come, we have established a Department of Education to express our national commitment to education, to promote equal educational opportunity, to assist local authorities in their efforts to improve our schools, and to administer Federal education programs more efficiently. 94 STAT. 3755 NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim this day, the 7th of May 1980. as Salute to Learning Day in honor of this beginning. I call upon all parents and students, all teachers and administrators, all lawmakers and public officials—1 call upon all my fellow citizens to celebrate this day. As a people, let us dedicate ourselves anew to building an educational system which will cherish young people, instill self-discipline and prepare students for tomorrow’s world; which will encourage scientific curiosity and foster artistic creativity; which will support research, reward good teaching and honor high intellectual accomplishment. Only by making this commitment can we pass on a tradition of educational excellence and equal opportunity to Americans of the twenty-first century and give them the tools they will need to shape their own interpretations of the American dream and make their own contributions to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. IN WITNESS WHEREOF. 1 have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of May, 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 4756 May 6, 1980 Tribute to Eight American Servicemen Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4756 of May 6, 1980 Tribute to Eight American Servicemen By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The names of the eight American servicemen who died in a mission of rescue in Iran will forever stand among the names of heroes. They were valiant men. They knew the danger of the task for which they had volunteered. and they were willing to confront that danger because they wished to right a terrible wrong. At a time when the delicate, age-old patterns of diplomatic communication that help maintain the peace of the world are under direct attack, we have a great need of men and women ready to make the sacrifices that freedom and security require. The eight who gave their lives while attempting to free their fellow Americans from an illegal and intolerable captivity were such individuals. They knew the price that freedom can demand, and they were prepared to pay it. They laid down their lives for their countrymen, for their Nation’s honor, and for the principles of justice and civilization. We mourn their loss; we admire their courage; we respect their dedication; and we reaffirm the principles for which they died. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, by virture of the authority vested in me as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces (36 U.S.C. 178) do hereby proclaim that, as a mark of respect to the memory of these brave men, the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff on all buildings, grounds and naval vessels of the Federal government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions upon notification of the provisions of this Proclamation until sunset on Friday. May 9. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other 94 STAT. 3756 facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations. IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of May, 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 4757 May 12, 1980 Flag Day and National Flag Week 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4757 of May 12, 1980 Flag Day and National Flag Week 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Two hundred and five years ago, in June of 1775, the first distinctive American flags to be used in battle were hoisted above the Colonial defenses at the Battle of Bunker Hill. One of these flags was an adaptation of the British “Blue Ensign.” The other was an entirely new design. Both, however, bore one device in common—the pine tree—chosen to symbolize the colonists’ efforts to wrest their land from the forests. As the colonists moved toward a final break with the mother country, other flags with more pointed messages began to appear. Several featured rattlesnakes, symbolizing vigilance and deadly striking power, and were emblazoned with the legends “Liberty or Death” and “Don’t Tread on Me.” On January 1, 1776, the Grand Union flag was raised over Washington’s Continental Army headquarters, displaying not only the British crosses of St. George and St. Andrew but also thirteen red and white stripes for the thirteen American colonies. That same year, the Bennington flag was unfurled, with thirteen stars, thirteen stripes and the number “76.” But it was not until the following year that the Continental Congress chose a flag that more tellingly expressed the unity and resolve of the Colonials who had banded together to seek independence. On June 14, 1777, two years after the Battle of Bunker Hill, the delegates voted “that the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field representing a new constellation.” Today, thirty-seven stars and two centuries later, the flag chosen by the Continental Congress in Philadelphia continues to be our national flag and to symbolize our shared commitment to freedom and equality. To commemorate the adoption of our flag, the Congress, by a joint [36 USC 157](/us/usc/t36/s157).resolution of August 3, 1949 (63 Stat. 492), designated June 14 of each year as Flag Day and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its observance. The Congress also requested the President, by joint [36 USC 157a](/us/usc/t36/s157a).resolution of June 9, 1966 (80 Stat. 194), to issue annually a proclamation designating the week in which June 14 occurs as National Flag Week and to call upon all citizens of the United States to display the flag on those days. NOW. THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, do hereby designate the week beginning June 8, 1980, as National Flag Week, and I direct the appropriate officials of the Government to display the flag on all Government buildings during the week. I urge all Americans to observe Flag Day, June 14, and 94 STAT. 3757Flag Week by flying the Stars and Stripes from their homes and other suitable places. To focus the attention of the American people on their country’s character, heritage and future well-being, the Congress has also, by joint resolution of June 13, 1975, set aside the 21 days from Flag Day through Independence Day as a period to honor America (89 Stat. 211).[36 USC 157b](/us/usc/t36/s157b). IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand this twelfth day of May, 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 4758 May 13, 1980 Father’s Day, 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4758 of May 13, 1980 Father’s Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Each year, this Nation sets aside a special day to recognize, honor and celebrate the contributions America’s fathers make to the well-being of our families and our society. Father’s Day is a time for all of us to remember and reflect on the unselfish sacrifices, the support and the guidance our fathers give us—physically, mentally and spiritually. It is a day. too, when we should share with them what they so willingly share with us and display our love and gratitude for the security and strength they provide. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby request that Sunday, June 15, 1980. be observed as Father’s Day. I direct Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings, and 1 urge all citizens to display the flag at their homes and other suitable places on that day. IN WITNESS WHEREOF. 1 have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of May, 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 4759 May 15, 1980 Modification of the Implementation of the Orderly Marketing Agreement and the Temporary Quantitative Limitation on the Importation Into the United States of Color Television Receivers and Certain Subassemblies Thereof Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4759 of May 15, 1980 Modification of the Implementation of the Orderly Marketing Agreement and the Temporary Quantitative Limitation on the Importation Into the United States of Color Television Receivers and Certain Subassemblies Thereof By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation On January 26, 1979, by Proclamation 4634, I proclaimed pursuant to the[19 USC 1202](/us/usc/t19/s1202). Constitution and the statutes of the United States, including section 203 of94 STAT. 3758 the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2253) (the Trade Act), certain temporary quantitative limitations on the importation into the United States of color television receivers and certain subassemblies thereof, provided for in items 923.74 through 923.83, inclusive, of the Tariff Schedules of the United States

(TSUS)(19 U.S.C. 1202). Exports to the United States of color television receiver subassemblies, provided for in item 923.78, and subject to Proclamation 4634. fell considerably below the restraint level established by that Proclamation for the first restraint period. The existing carryover provision would allow an increase in the quantity to be entered during the second restraint period of only 29,700 units of such subassemblies. In the interest of equity, this Proclamation will increase the allowable carryover by 5.300 units to 35.000 units. The total number of such subassemblies exported to the United States and entered [19 USC 1202](/us/usc/t19/s1202).during the fifteen months covered by Proclamation 4634 will remain less than the number originally contemplated by that Proclamation. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, in order to assure equitable treatment under Proclamation 4634 and 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 U.S.T. (pt. 2) 1786) do [19 USC 1202](/us/usc/t19/s1202).proclaim that Subpart A, part 2 of the Appendix to the TSUS is modified as set forth in the Annex to this proclamation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of May, 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 Annex Headnote 5(e) of subpart A, part 2, of the Appendix to the Tariff Schedules of the United States (19 U.S.C. 1202) is modified to read as follows: " “(e) *Carryover.—*If the restraint level for any item has not been filled for a restraint period, upon appropriate request, the shortfall may be entered under the same item during the following restraint period provided that the amount of shortfall so entered in the next restraint period for

(a)item 923.74 does not exceed 11 percent of the restraint level for the restraint period during which the shortfall occurred,

(b)item 923.78 does not exceed 35.000 units, and

(c)item 923.81 does not exceed 10 percent of the restraint level for the restraint period in which the shortfall occurred.” " 4760 May 19, 1980 National Recreation and Parks Week Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4760 of May 19, 1980 National Recreation and Parks Week By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation From the beaches of Hawaii to the hills of New England, America’s public recreation and park systems include outstanding features of our historical, cultural and natural heritage. Magnificent canyons, splendid forests, the homes of great Americans—these are among the places preserved in Federal. State and local park systems. Recreation areas make everything from scuba diving to spelunking to plain old picnicking available to millions. Among the Federal government’s diverse holdings are national forests, 94 STAT. 3759grasslands, wildlife refuges, even the famous Gateway Arch in St. Louis. State park systems have similar treasures. Oregon’s coast is dotted with State-run beaches that offer agate-hunting and surf-fishing, while New York’s Adirondack Park—three times the size of Yellowstone and the country’s largest State park—boasts more than 9000 square miles of wilderness within a day’s drive of 55 million Americans. The preservation of wilderness is one goal of the country’s park systems. Accessibility is another. Parks and recreation areas all over the country offer a variety of programs, experiences and opportunities to all Americans, including the disabled, the disadvantaged, the elderly and the very young. It is important that everyone be able to enjoy our landscape and history and to engage in healthy leisure activities—whether it’s boating or fishing, walking or climbing. But to work well, to work for all of us and all our needs, the park systems need our help—our suggestions, our thoughts, our cooperation—especially in this time of energy conservation. These are contributions we can all make, this week and every week. NOW, THEREFORE. I. JIMMY CARTER. President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 1–7, 1980. as National Recreation and Parks Week. I call on all Americans to observe this occasion by giving serious thought to the ways they can better use and preserve the parks of this country. IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand this nineteenth day of May. 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 4761 May 19, 1980 Captive Nations Week, 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4761 of May 19, 1980 Captive Nations Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Twenty-one years ago. by a joint resolution approved July 17, 1959 (73 Stat. 212), the Eighty-Sixth Congress authorized and requested the President to proclaim the third week in July as Captive Nations Week. Throughout our history we Americans have held the deep conviction that liberty and independence are among mankind’s inalienable rights. Our ideal has remained that of our founding fathers: governments derive their legitimacy from the consent of the peoples they govern. Soviet aggression against Afghanistan is the latest stark reminder that this ideal is not universally respected. Mindful of our heritage and our principles, let us take this week to salute the men and women everywhere who are devoted to the cause of liberty and the pursuit of human rights in their native lands.

Throughout this period, the Veterans Administration has set a standard of care and compassion. 94 STAT. 3761 On this 50th anniversary of the Veterans Administration, Americans take pride in having led the world in healing the physical and social wounds of war. Our system of assistance and care for veterans is the most comprehensive in the world. In medicine, the Veterans Administration has been a leader in innovation, research, and the quality of care. Its staff includes Nobel Prize winners and other men and women of international renown. Millions of Americans have been helped by Veterans Administration benefits and services, and protected by Veterans Administration life insurance. Veterans loan guarantees have made home ownership possible for tens of thousands of families, and GI Bill education has transformed the social fabric of America. These efforts express our appreciation and commitment to those who have sacrificed for our country and to the families of those who gave their lives in its service. NOW. THEREFORE, 1. JIMMY CARTER.
