96 STAT. 2764 Proclamation 4968 of September 14, 1982 Child Health Day, 1982 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation There is no better way for this Nation to invest in its future than by fostering the health of its children. We can best do this by encouraging children to develop good health habits and attitudes and by giving them the protection of immunization. Good health habits and practices begun in childhood are the prelude to positive health throughout life.
Healthy children foreshadow vigorous adults whose communities will benefit from their energy and productivity. All of us should know how the personal choices we make can help prevent disease and promote good health and to transfer this knowledge to our children. By working together, parents, schools, private and voluntary organizations, and government can effect a beneficial and lasting change in the health of our Nation and the lives of our children. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, pursuant to a joint resolution of May 18, 1928, as amended (36 U.S.C. 143), do hereby proclaim Monday, October 4, 1982, as Child Health Day.
I urge all Americans to join me in encouraging good health habits and attitudes in our children and call upon all citizens to observe Child Health Day with appropriate activities directed toward establishing such practices in the youth of our Country. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of Sept. in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh. RONALD REAGAN 4969 September 14, 1982 General Pulaski Memorial Day, 1982 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4969 of September 14, 1982 General Pulaski Memorial Day, 1982 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Two hundred and three years ago the Polish and American patriot General Casimir Pulaski fell at the battle of Savannah while fighting for the principles of freedom and equality in our young Nation’s struggle for independence.
His example of dedication to democratic ideals has provided continuing inspiration to all of us. His name and deeds remain alive in the hearts of the Polish people, never more so than in this difficult time when so many of their basic rights are being denied to them. In remembrance of General Pulaski’s heroic sacrifice and his dedication to the ideals of freedom, we pay tribute to him and to the Polish nation of which he was such an esteemed son. In doing so, we also honor the contributions made by generations of Polish-Americans to the greatness of America. 96 STAT. 2765 NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Monday, October 11, 1982, as General Pulaski Memorial Day, and I direct the appropriate Government officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government buildings on that day.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of Sept., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh. RONALD REAGAN 4970 September 14, 1982 United Nations Day, 1982 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 4970 of September 14, 1982 United Nations Day, 1982 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The United Nations was born out of the massive human suffering and destruction caused by the Second World War.
From the outset, the United States, one of the principal architects and founders of the United Nations, has worked to make it a forum for debate among all peace-loving nations and to support its purpose of preventing war and conflict through conciliation and cooperation. Because that goal has not been fully achieved and because the U.N. has been misused, today’s world is too often fraught with strife, division, and conflict. But, despite the abuse and shortcomings, the United Nations can still be instrumental in facilitating and overseeing agreements to end conflict, in providing a center for reducing tensions through dialogue and debate, and in addressing the problems of underdevelopment which can spur conflict.
Americans can take pride in having provided significant moral, political, and financial support for the United Nations since its inception. That support will be maintained and the United States will continue to play a prominent role in the organization, using it to champion the values and ideals which underlie our own society and which originally helped to inspire the formation of the United Nations. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Sunday, October 24, 1982, as United Nations Day.
On this day I urge all Americans to better acquaint themselves with the activities and accomplishments of the United Nations. I have appointed Robert Anderson to serve as 1982 United States National Chairman for United Nations Day and welcome the role of the United Nations Association of the United States of America in working with him to celebrate this special day. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of Sept., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh.
