97 STAT. 1562 Proclamation 5035 of March 24, 1983 National Maritime Day, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The restructuring of longstanding Federal maritime policies constitutes a high priority of my Administration. Considerable progress has been made in removing unnecessary regulatory constraints which contribute to inefficiency and increased costs of our shipping and shipbuilding. These efforts will continue and will greatly enhance our maritime posture.
Over the next few years, new generations of efficient and productive merchant ships will improve the competitiveness of our fleet. These and other announced policy initiatives are part of my firm commitment to provide the foundation upon which to build and maintain the strong merchant marine needed to serve the Nation’s waterborne commerce and national defense requirements. [36 USC 145](/us/usc/t36/s145). In recognition of the importance of the American merchant marine, the Congress, by joint resolution of May 20, 1933, designated May 22 as National Maritime Day and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation calling for its appropriate observance.
This date was chosen to commemorate the day in 1819 when the SS SAVANNAH departed Savannah. Georgia, on the first transatlantic steamship voyage. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate May 22, 1983. as the fifty-first observance of National Maritime Day. I urge the people of the United States to honor our American merchant marine on that day by displaying the flag of the United States at their homes and other suitable places, and I request that all ships sailing under the American flag dress ship on that day.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 24th 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.

They work with adults and children whose self-doubts or distorted perceptions of the world interfere with their capacities to fulfill their obligations or to enjoy the pleasures that life can offer.
They work with the chronically mentally ill. the depressed, the suicidal, the anxious, the phobic, the juvenile delinquent, the abused, and the deprived. Through utilization of individual and group counseling techniques, mental health counselors help individuals to develop self-understanding, make life decisions, and adjust to the everyday demands of a complex world. Mental health counselors apply skills gained through years of education and training in a multitude of settings—hospitals, community agencies, clinics, and in the private practice sector.
They play an important role in our Nation’s health care system. In recognition of their service in behalf of others to save lives and reduce suffering, the Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 35, has designated the*Ante,* p. 39. week beginning March 20, 1983, as National Mental Health Counselors Week, and has requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of that week.

I call upon health care professionals, educators, the media, individuals, and public and private organizations concerned with mental health to join me in observing this week. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth 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.
