95 STAT. 1794 Proclamation 4816 of January 15, 1981 American Heart Month, 1981 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Diseases of the heart and blood vessels afflict 40 million Americans, cause 950,000 deaths annually, and cost the Nation more than $60 billion each year in lost wages and productivity and in direct costs of medical care. Cardiovascular diseases, still our Nation’s leading cause of death, have been the target of a continuing national effort since 1948.

Leading this assault on illness, disability, and premature death are the American Heart Association, a private health organization supported by individual contributions, and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health, a Federal agency supported by tax dollars. For more than 30 years, the two organizations have worked closely together conducting and supporting research, training, education and community service directed against heart diseases.

In that joint effort, they have enlisted the co operation and resources of numerous organizations and agencies—both public and private. Diseases of the heart and blood vessels remain the number one killer in the United States, but we have made substantial and heartening progress toward reducing the devastating toll. Deaths from coronary heart disease have declined by 25 percent during the past decade. Deaths from stroke have declined by 37 percent during the same period. These dramatic declines are a significant factor in the marked increase over the past decade in life expectancy for all Americans.

We have developed a much better understanding of the disease process and in the detection and treatment of cardiovascular disease. As a people, we have improved our overall health practices. For example, there has been a sharp drop in cigarette smoking among middle-aged men who are at the highest risk of heart attack. There has been much progress in the control of high blood pressure which is the major cause of stroke and gratifying and productive changes in our approach to diet and physical fitness.

We still have a long way to go before diseases of the heart and blood vessels are brought under control or eliminated as a major cause of suffering and premature death. In recognition of the seriousness of this menace to the Nation’s health and well-being, and to encourage the consolidation and extension of our efforts against cardiovascular disease, the Congress, by joint resolution approved December 30, 1963 [77 Stat. 843; 36 U.S.C. 169b) has re quested the President to issue annually a proclamation designating February as American Heart Month.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of February 1981, as American Heart Month. I invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, and the American people, to join with me in reaffirming our commitment to the fight against cardiovascular disease. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-one, and of 95 STAT. 1795the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

JIMMY CARTER 4817 January 16, 1981 Proclamation To Modify the Suspension in Part of the Tariff Concessions on Certain Lead Products Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4817 of January 16, 1981 Proclamation To Modify the Suspension in Part of the Tariff Concessions on Certain Lead Products By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. On October 31, 1979, under the authority of section 101(a)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 (the Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 2111(a)(1)), the United States entered into a trade agreement with the United Mexican States (Mexico) containing certain tariff concessions by the United States.

These tariff concessions were implemented by Proclamation No. 4707 of December 11, 1979, beginning [19 USC 2111 note](/us/usc/t19/s2111).January 1, 1980. This agreement provides that, under certain circumstances which now exist, the United States may suspend or withdraw these concessions in whole or in part. 2. An expectation, which this agreement stated to be the basis for the United States concessions therein, not having materialized, and only partially equivalent substitute concessions having been received from Mexico, the President, by Proclamation 4792 of September 15, 1980 (45 Fed. Reg. 61589), suspended in part tariff concessions which were granted to Mexico [94 Stat. 3793](/us/stat/94/3793).in the October 31, 1979 agreement because adequate substitute compensatory concessions had not been provided by Mexico at that time. 3.

In view of the temporary modification of the rate of duty on unwrought lead other than lead bullion by section 114 of Public Law 96–609, of December [94 Stat. 3557](/us/stat/94/3557).28, 1980, and of the extent of concessions which have been received from Mexico, I determine that the suspension of the concessions under the Agreement of October 31, 1979 should be modified as set forth below. 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 sections 125 and 604 of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2135 and 2483), do proclaim that:

The tariff concessions proclaimed by Proclamation No. 4707 on litharge and [19 USC 2111 note](/us/usc/t19/s2111). red lead provided for in items 473.52 and 473.56 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States (19 U.S.C. 1202), (in the case of litharge as partially suspended by Proclamation 4792) are suspended as set forth in the Annex of this proclamation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-one, and of 95 STAT. 1796the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.

JIMMY CARTER Annex Part 2D of the Appendix to the Tariff Schedules of the United States is modified to read as follows: Item Articles Rates of Duty Effective period 1 2 Subpart D.—Temporary Duties, Pursuant to Section 125 of the Trade Act of 1974. Subpart D headnote: 1.

No change On and after Jan. 19, 1981. 4818 February 6, 1981 International Year of Disabled Persons Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4818 of February 6, 1981 International Year of Disabled Persons By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation We seek, in the 1980s, an era of national renewal, an era that will set loose again the energy and ingenuity of the American people.

Today there are 35 million disabled Americans who represent one of our most underutilized national resources. Their will, their spirit, and their hearts are not impaired, despite their limitations. All of us stand to gain when those who are disabled share in America’s opportunities. To increase the participation of disabled persons in our national life and in the lives of other nations the United Nations has designated 1981 the International Year of Disabled Persons. America has long been a world leader in this area, and the United States Council for the International Year of Disabled Persons and our Federal government have already responded to the United Nations challenge.

Programs are underway throughout the Nation. 95 STAT. 1797 Through partnerships of disabled and nondisabled persons; of our private sector and our government; and of our national, state, and community organizations, we can expand the opportunities for disabled Americans to make a fuller contribution to our national life. I am proud to pledge the cooperation of my Administration and the Federal agencies under my jurisdiction, including the Federal Interagency Committee for the International Year of Disabled Persons.

NOW, THEREFORE, in keeping with the goals of the International Year, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim 1981 the International Year of Disabled Persons in the United States. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this sixth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred eighty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth. RONALD REAGAN 4819 February 13, 1981 National Agriculture Day Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4819 of February 13, 1981 National Agriculture Day By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Agriculture is among America’s most vital and far-reaching industries.

Its production, processing, and marketing segments together provide as many as 17 million jobs. The productivity and efficiency of American agriculture are basic ingredients in our national strength. Agricultural productivity is a major weapon in the war against inflation and in the struggle to eliminate world hunger. The efficiency of the American farmer is the envy of the world. American farmers are, in reality, fiercely independent businessmen whose job it is to provide food and fiber.

With the profit motive and freedom of enterprise, these businessmen of the soil have supplied this Nation with an abundance never before witnessed in the history of man. Today, our farmers are also making enormous contributions to America’s trade balance. In the past year alone, farm exports amounted to $41 billion. To achieve a better understanding of, and appreciation for, agriculture’s role in the Nation’s way of life and of each individual’s stake in a reliable food and fiber supply, the Congress enacted a Joint Resolution, Public Law 96’416, to set aside March 19, 1981, as “National Agriculture Day.”[94 Stat. 1726](/us/stat/94/2557).

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 19, 1981, “National Agriculture Day” 95 STAT. 1798and do call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirteenth day of February in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred eighty’one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth. **Editorial Note**:

The President’s remarks of Feb. 6, 1981, on signing Proclamation 4818, are printed in the *Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents* (vol. 17, p. 98). RONALD REAGAN 4820 February 17, 1981 Rescission of Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4820 of February 17, 1981 Rescission of Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions were first implemented on [93 Stat. 1522](/us/stat/93/1522).July 16, 1979, by Proclamation No. 4667.

They were twice extended, first by [94 Stat. 3749](/us/stat/94/3749); 46 FR 3489.Proclamation No. 4750 and second by Proclamation No. 4813. Those restrictions set forth in Energy Conservation Contingency Plan No. 2 (44 FR 12911, March 8, 1979) are effective until October 16, 1981, unless earlier rescinded. Although restrictions on building temperatures may result in reduced consumption of fuel, I have concluded that the regulatory scheme designed to accomplish that objective imposes an excessive regulatory burden and that voluntary restraint and market incentives will achieve substantially the same benefit without the regulatory cost.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, 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(a) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6261(a)), do hereby proclaim that: Section 1. The Energy Building Temperature Restrictions as provided for in Energy Conservation Contingency Plan No. 2 (44 FR 12911, March 8, 1979) are no longer required. Therefore, the effectiveness of that Plan as provided 46 FR 3489.for in Proclamation No. 4813 is hereby rescinded.

Section 2. Proclamation No. 4813 is revoked. Section 3. The Secretary of Energy shall take such action as may be necessary to ensure the implementation of this Proclamation. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-one, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fifth.
