97 STAT. 1551 Proclamation 5022 of February 14, 1983 Zoo and Aquarium Month, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation As the living classroom for some 20 million school children each year, zoos and aquariums have an important role in the American educational process. They also provide stimulating recreational experiences for more than 125 million people who visit them annually. The United States has some of the Finest zoo and aquarium facilities in the world.
Many are foremost in the effort to conserve the species they house. American zoos and aquariums cooperate with institutions around the globe to preserve wildlife and to create more sophisticated techniques for exhibiting animals in natural settings. To both children and adults, animals represent a special sense of curiosity, feeling, and caring. By enabling us to observe animals firsthand and to learn about their habitats, zoos and aquariums have become a valuable and unique asset.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the month of June 1983 as Zoo and Aquarium Month. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of Feb., in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh. RONALD REAGAN 5023 February 16, 1983 Lithuanian Independence Day, 1983 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5023 of February 16, 1983 Lithuanian Independence Day, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Sixty-five years ago a small nation achieved freedom in the aftermath of World War 1.
Proclaiming the Lithuanian Republic, its founders stepped forward on February 16, 1918, to assert their country’s independence and commitment to a government based on justice, democracy, and the rights of the individual. Twenty-two years later Soviet tyranny imposed itself on Lithuania and denied the Lithuanian people their just right of national self-determination. 97 STAT. 1552 In the intervening years, the United States has refused to recognize the forcible incorporation of Lithuania into the Soviet Union.
An enduring belief in freedom for all people unites Americans everywhere. But we must be vigilant in the protection of our common ideal, for as long as freedom is denied others, it is not secure here. We mark this anniversary of Lithuanian independence with a renewed hope that the blessings of liberty will be restored to Lithuania. *Ante*, p. 5.The Congress of the United States, by House Joint Resolution 60, has authorized and requested the President to proclaim February 16, 1983, as Lithuanian Independence Day.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim February 16, 1983, as Lithuanian Independence Day. I invite the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and deeds and to reaffirm their dedication to the ideals which unite us and inspire others. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of February, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh.
RONALD REAGAN 5024 March 7, 1983 National Children and Television Week, 1983 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5024 of March 7, 1983 National Children and Television Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Television has the power to shape thoughts, stir emotions, and inspire actions. It teaches, it sells, it entertains, it informs, and it has the capacity to influence powerfully the lives and values of our children.
They learn much from television about the world, our society, and their place in it. Television can communicate values that are consistent with our heritage and traditions and can portray those actions and attitudes that make for better citizens. It also can depict themes that are destructive of these values. Recognizing that children are at a formative and vulnerable stage in their lives, many individuals and groups have a great interest in television programming. These concerned citizens are working to improve the quality of television programs viewed by their families. [96 Stat. 2293](/us/stat/96/2293).By Senate Joint Resolution 264 (P.L. 97–443), the Congress has designated the week of March 13, 1983, through March 19, 1983, as “National Children and Television Week” and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that week.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of March 13, 1983, through March 19, 1983, as “National Children and Television Week.” I commend all those persons concerned about the quality of children’s television programming, and I call upon all government agencies and the people of the United States 97 STAT. 1553to observe the week with appropriate activities supporting television programs which are attentive to the needs and interests of children.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 7th day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh. RONALD REAGAN 5025 March 7, 1983 National Poison Prevention Week, 1983 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5025 of March 7, 1983 National Poison Prevention Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The annual observance of National Poison Prevention Week affords communities across America a special opportunity to increase citizen awareness of the dangers of accidental poisoning.
In recent years the number of poisonings among children has fallen dramatically, due in large measure to the introduction of child-protective packaging. At the community level, poison centers are an essential resource in reducing the incidence of serious injury resulting from accidental ingestions. By providing timely diagnostic and treatment information to medical practitioners and first aid instruction to anxious parents, poison centers have successfully worked to save lives.
While poison centers have proved invaluable, they often provide “after-the-fact” treatment. This year, National Poison Prevention Week will underscore the equally important role poison centers can play in preventing child poisonings “before the fact.” Working together as sponsors of National Poison Prevention Week are national medical, pharmacy, nursing, dental, and hospital associations; health and safety groups; organizations representing manufacturers, packagers, and distributors of consumer products, including medicines; the media; and government agencies.
Most of these groups have State and local chapters and affiliates that, along with community organizations, are the backbone of what has become a successful nationwide poison prevention program. To aid in encouraging the American people to learn of the dangers of accidental poisoning and to take appropriate preventive measures, the Congress, by a joint resolution approved September 26, 1961 (75 Stat. 681), requested[36 USC 165](/us/usc/t36/s165). the President to issue annually a proclamation designating the third week in March as National Poison Prevention Week.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning March 20, 1983, as National Poison Prevention Week. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 7th day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh.
