Yet, it is as forceful and dynamic today as on that day in 1787 when it was signed by our Forefathers.
Not only has this hallowed document endured, it has grown stronger in the nearly two centuries since its adoption and continues to increase in vitality with each succeeding generation. Today, as ever, it stands as a beacon for those dedicated to the principles of government by and for the people. By joint resolution of February 29, 1952 (36 U.S.C. 153), the Congress designated September 17 as Citizenship Day. in commemoration of the formation and signing of the Constitution and in recognition of all who have attained the status of citizenship.

JIMMY CARTER 4774 July 2, 1980 National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day, 1980 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4774 of July 2, 1980 National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In each of America’s wars our prisoners of war have been called upon to make uncommon sacrifices.
Upon them has fallen the arduous responsibility of defending American ideals under the absolute control of the enemy. Extremely difficult at best, this responsibility becomes magnified almost beyond comprehension when men and women are treated inhumanely—in violation of ordinary human compassion, fundamental moral standards, and basic international obligations. The Congress has by Joint Resolution designated July 18, 1980 as “National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day.” All Americans should recognize the special debt we owe our fellow citizens who, as prisoners during wartime, sacrificed their freedom that we might enjoy the blessings of peace and liberty.
Likewise, we must remember the unresolved casualties of war—our soldiers who are still missing. The pain and bitterness of war endures for their families, relatives, and friends. Our Nation will continue to seek answers to the many questions that remain about their fate. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Friday, July 18, 1980, as National P.O.W.-M.I.A. Recognition Day, a day dedicated to all former American prisoners of war, to those still missing, and to their families.
I call on all Americans 94 STAT. 3779 to join in honoring those who made the uncommon sacrifice of being held 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 second day of July 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 4775 July 22, 1980 National Cystic Fibrosis Week Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4775 of July 22, 1980 National Cystic Fibrosis Week By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Cystic fibrosis is the most common fatal genetic disease afflicting American children today. An inherited disorder of unknown cause, cystic fibrosis affects approximately 20,000 to 30,000 infants, children, and young adults.
While the cost of medical treatment reaches into the millions of dollars, the costs of cystic Fibrosis in terms of human suffering are inestimable. Through biomedical research, the outlook for cystic Fibrosis patients has become brighter over the years. Long considered fatal in childhood, cystic fibrosis has begun to yield to the efforts of science. The life expectancy of cystic Fibrosis victims has increased well into the teens, twenties and beyond. Moreover, improved methods of treatment have enhanced the quality of patients’ lives.
Despite this progress, however, the basic cause of cystic fibrosis, as well as its cure, continues to elude investigators. The Department of Health and Human Services, in cooperation with private, voluntary agencies, is meeting the challenge of cystic Fibrosis with an intensified research program. Through the National Institutes of Health, the Department’s biomedical research arm, studies are now under way to identify the causes—and consequences—of the disease, and to develop improved methods of detection, treatment, and, eventually, prevention.
In recognition of the progress that has been made, and of the many research questions that still remain to be answered, the Congress has by House Joint Resolution 445 designated the week of September 21, 1980, “National Cystic*Ante*, p. 482. Fibrosis Week”, a time to highlight the hope for the future that this Nation shares with cystic fibrosis victims and their families. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning September 21, 1980, as ‘‘National Cystic Fibrosis Week.
” IN WITNESS WHEREOF. I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-second day of July, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.
