97 STAT. 1627 Proclamation 5104 of September 23, 1983 Modification of Country Allocations of Quotas on Certain Sugars, Sirups and Molasses By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Headnote 2 of subpart A, part 10, schedule 1 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States (19 U.S.C. 1202], hereinafter referred to as the “TSUS”, provides in relevant part as follows: " “(i) . . . if the President finds that a particular rate not lower than such January 1, 1968, rate, limited by a particular quota, may be established for any articles provided for in items 155.20 or 155.30, which will give due consideration to the interests in the United States sugar market of domestic producers and materially affected contracting parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, he shall proclaim such particular rate and such quota limitation.. .
“(ii) . . . any rate and quota limitation so established shall be modified if the President finds and proclaims that such modification is required or appropriate to give effect to the above considerations: . . .” " 2. Headnote 2 was added to the TSUS by Proclamation 3822 of December 16, 1967 (82 Stat. 1455) to carry out a provision in the Geneva
(1967)Protocol of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (Note 1 of Unit A, Chapter 10, Part I of Schedule XX; 19 U.S.T., Part II, 1282), The Geneva Protocol[61 Stat. A1157](/us/stat/61/A1157). is a trade agreement that was entered into and proclaimed pursuant to section 201(a) of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1821(a)). Section 201(a) of the Trade Expansion Act authorizes the President to proclaim the modification or continuance of any existing duty or other import restriction or such additional import restriction as he determines to be required or appropriate to carry out any trade agreement entered into under the authority of that Act. 3. By Proclamation 4941 of May 5, 1982 (47 FR 19661), I modified the quantitative[3 CFR. 1982 Comp., p. 55](/us/cfr/t3/s1982/55). limitations on the importation into the United States of certain sugars, sirups and molasses established in headnote 3 pursuant to the authority in headnote 2 and provided for a country-by-country allocation of the quota quantity established therein. 4. I find the additional modifications of the quantitative limitations which are hereinafter proclaimed are appropriate to carry out the trade agreement described in paragraph 2 of this Proclamation and the International Sugar Agreement, 1977 (31 U.S.T. 5135), and give due consideration to the interests in the United States sugar market of domestic producers and materially affected contracting parties to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.[61 Stat. A3](/us/stat/61/A3). NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the United States, including section 201 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, Section 301 of Title 3 of the United States Code, the International Sugar Agreement, 1977, Implementation Act (7 U.S.C. 3601 *et seq*.), and notwithstanding Executive Order 12224, and in conformity with headnote 2 of[7 USC 3602](/us/usc/t7/s3602) note. subpart A, part 10, schedule 1 of the TSUS, do hereby proclaim until otherwise superseded: A. Notwithstanding the provisions of Proclamation 4941, as amended, paragraph (c)(i) of headnote 3 of subpart A, part 10, schedule 1 of the TSUS is modified by designating the note at the end of the table “NOTE 1” and by adding the following new note: 97 STAT. 1628 “NOTE 2: Beginning with the quota year beginning September 26, 1933, the quota allocations for Nicaragua, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Honduras shall be as follows: Nicaragua 6.000 short tons, raw value El Salvador 2.6 percent of the total base quota amount permitted to be imported under paragraphs
(a)and
(b)of this headnote plus 18 percent of the difference between 2.1 percent of the total base quota amount and 6.000 short tons, raw value Honduras 1.0 percent of the total base quota amount plus 52 percent of the difference between 2.1 percent of the total base quota amount and 6.000 short tons, raw value Costa Rica 1.5 percent of the total base quota amount plus 30 percent of the difference between 2.1 percent of the total base quota amount and 6.000 short tons, raw value” B. The provisions of this Proclamation shall be effective for sugars, sirups, and molasses, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after September 26, 1983. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-third day of September, 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 eighth. RONALD REAGAN 5105 September 27, 1983 United Nations Day, 1983 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5105 of September 27, 1983 United Nations Day, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The United Nations remains today—38 years after its creation—an institution uniquely endowed to promote international political, economic, social, and technical cooperation. Conceived during a brutal war and nurtured in a troubled peace, the United Nations has seen many of its shining promises realized, but many others have been frustrated. More often than the world community can afford, rivalries and divisions among states prompt abuse or misuse of the powers and machinery of the United Nations. Despite these imperfections, the system and its machinery continue to offer opportunities for mediating differences which threaten to erupt in hostilities; for arranging and overseeing agreements to end tensions or conflicts; for promoting the technical and scientific cooperation essential to meet problems of growth and development; and for coping with international emergencies of all kinds. The people and the Government of the United States of America take pride in the support—moral, intellectual, political, and financial—which we have rendered to the United Nations, and in the leadership which we have provided to help bring about its foremost achievements. We also take pride in the knowledge that the principles of the United Nations charter are the same ones which underlie our liberty, our progress, and our development as a democratic society. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Monday, October 24, 1983, as United Nations Day, and urge all Americans to better acquaint themselves with the activities and accomplishments of the United Nations. 97 STAT. 1629 I have appointed William M. Ellinghaus to serve as 1983 United States Chairman for United Nations Day, and 1 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 27th day of Sept., 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 eighth. RONALD REAGAN 5106 September 27, 1983 National Sewing Month, 1983 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5106 of September 27, 1983 National Sewing Month, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Over fifty million Americans sew at home. Their efforts demonstrate the persistence, skill, and self-reliance which are so characteristic of this Nation. The home sewing industry generates over $3,500,000,000 annually for our economy and serves to introduce many younger Americans to activities which lead to careers in such fields as fashion, textile design, interior design and retail merchandising. In recognition of the importance of home sewing to our economy, the Congress, by House Joint Resolution 218, has designated September 1983 as “National Sewing Month.”*Ante*, p. 714. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 1983 as National Sewing Month. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of September, 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 eighth. RONALD REAGAN 5107 September 27, 1983 National Adult Day Care Center Week, 1983 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5107 of September 27, 1983 National Adult Day Care Center Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Adult day care centers provide supervised community settings in which partially disabled men and women of all ages can obtain care that may not be available in their own homes. These centers provide opportunities for adults who are socially isolated to find friends and learn skills. Day care centers enable individuals to obtain the care they need without being forced to live in institutions, and they offer needed respite to families whose infirmed relatives live with them. In recognition that adult day care centers and their dedicated professional staffs serve many health maintenance functions, provide vital medical care,97 STAT. 1630 including medication monitoring, therapies, and health education, and provide invaluable opportunities for social interaction to disabled elderly Americans, the Congress of the United States, by House Joint Resolution *Ante*, p. 713.132, has designated the week beginning September 25, 1983. as “National Adult Day Care Center 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 beginning on September 25, 1983, as National Adult Day Care Center Week, and I call upon every American community to consider the value of adult day care centers and to give appropriate recognition to centers offering these important services throughout that week. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of September, 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 eighth. RONALD REAGAN 5108 September 27, 1983 National Employ the Handicapped Week, 1983 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5108 of September 27, 1983 National Employ the Handicapped Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Our Nation’s history is rooted in the struggle to attain independence: the right of free choice by free citizens in a society that honors the efforts of individuals. The movement of disabled people to full participation in our society, with all its benefits and responsibilities, is an ideal whose time has surely come. All across this Nation, disabled people are striving to obtain more control over their lives through choices that minimize their reliance and dependence on others. They are taking charge of their own lives and becoming responsible for their own affairs. They are participating in the day-to-day life of the community and fulfilling the whole range of social roles possible in our society. Since World War II, the United States has set aside one week each year to emphasize ways in which more people with disabilities can be assisted in their efforts to become independent through gainful employment. Despite past and present efforts of employers to hire people with disabilities, the unemployment level of disabled people continues to be unnecessarily high. To solve this problem, we must plan and develop strategies to demonstrate that disabled people are a valuable resource to our economy and our society. The Congress, by joint resolution of August 11, 1945, as amended (36 U.S.C. 155), has called for the designation of the first full week in October of each year as National Employ the Handicapped Week. During this week, let us renew our commitments to expand the opportunities for disabled citizens and help them to attain their personal goals. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 2, 1983, as National Employ the Handicapped Week. 97 STAT. 1631 I urge all governors, mayors, other public officials, leaders in business and labor, private citizens, and especially the disabled citizens of this great Nation to help meet the challenge of the day. Let us all work together to fulfill the dreams of our disabled citizens: full participation in our expanding economy. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 27th. day of Sept., 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 eighth. RONALD REAGAN 5109 September 27, 1983 National High School Activities Week, 1983 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5109 of September 27, 1983 National High School Activities Week, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Extracurricular activities in the high schools of this country provide our students with valuable opportunities to discover and develop talents in areas other than those covered within the classroom. Extracurricular activities also build school spirit and demonstrate the importance of promoting common goals. Through such programs as student government, athletics, music, drama, debate, journalism, community service, and many others, students gain key insights into the roles which competition and cooperation play in our society. Moreover, these experiences help students to learn to set and achieve goals, to organize their time effectively, and to enhance the social skills that are needed to enjoy and succeed in life. In recognition of the significant place extracurricular opportunities have in the growth of our high school students, the Congress of the United States, by Senate Joint Resolution 101, has authorized and requested the President[96 Stat. 2291](/us/stat/96/2291). to proclaim the week of October 17 through October 23, 1983 as National High School Activities Week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning October 17, 1983 as National High School Activities Week, and I call upon the people of the United States to observe this period with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of Sept., 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 eighth. RONALD REAGAN 5110 September 30, 1983 National Alzheimer’s Disease Month, 1983 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5110 of September 30, 1983 National Alzheimer’s Disease Month, 1983 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Alzheimer’s disease, a devastating disease that affects the cells of the brain, is now regarded as the major form of old age “senility.” While ex-97 STAT. 1632perts formerly believed that Alzheimer’s occurred only in persons under 65, it now is recognized as the most common cause of severe intellectual impairment in older individuals. Presently, there is no established treatment that can cure, reverse or stop the progression of this disease, which is the cause of serious confusion and forgetfulness in about 1.5–2.5 million elderly persons in the United States. Because there is an association of dementia with aging and because Americans are living longer, the numbers affected by this disease will continue to grow. As many as half of those in nursing homes suffer from this degenerative brain disease. Also, because of the decrease in life expectancy accompanying the illness, Alzheimer’s is thought to be the fourth leading cause of death among adults of age 65 or more. Generally, from the time of onset, the disease reduces a person’s remaining life expectancy by about one-half. It also deprives its victims of the opportunity to enjoy life and takes a serious toll on its victims’ families and friends. The emotional, financial and social consequences of Alzheimer’s disease are so devastating that it deserves special attention. Science and clinical medicine are striving to improve our understanding of what causes Alzheimer’s disease and how to treat it successfully. Right now, research is the only hope for victims and families. To recognize that progress is being made against this disease and to show understanding and support for the individuals and the families and friends of those who are affected, the Congress of the United States, by Senate *Ante*, p. 724.Joint Resolution 82, has authorized and requested the President to proclaim November 1983 as National Alzheimer’s Disease Month. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the month of November 1983 as National Alzheimer’s Disease Month. I call upon government agencies and the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of September, 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 eighth. RONALD REAGAN 5111 October 1, 1983 Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5111 of October 1, 1983 Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation America is justifiably proud of its accomplishments in aeronautics and in space research. In the 25 years since the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA)was created by an Act of Congress, our country and the world have witnessed an unsurpassed record of scientific and technical achievements which has established the United States as the world leader in aerospace research and development. In aeronautics, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has conducted an effective and productive research and technology program 97 STAT. 1633that continues to contribute materially to the enduring preeminence of United States civil and military aviation. Two-thirds of the world’s commercial aircraft fleet is American designed and built, accounting for some $10 billion in positive trade balance in 1982. NASA’s wind tunnels, laboratories, and such experimental aircraft as the X–15 provide the solid essential research base for technology advancement and leadership. In space, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has conducted one of the most dramatic of all human endeavors: the Apollo Project which, 14 years ago, landed men on the Moon for the first time and returned them safely 240,000 miles to Earth. In addition, remotely controlled spacecraft have been dispatched on missions extending from near Earth orbit to the far reaches of the solar system. Through the Viking mission, the winds of Mars have been measured; through the Voyager mission, volcanoes on a moon of Jupiter have been observed and the rings of Saturn have been counted. More information has been gathered about the cosmos in 25 years than had been gleaned in all the preceding centuries. In the Space Shuttle, first launched in 1981, America now has a sophisticated new system for space research—a machine that delivers payloads routinely to orbit; allows humans to work in space; returns crew, experiments, and unrepairable spacecraft to Earth; and is reconditioned within a short period for its next launch. The Shuttle is booked through 1988, an indication of how utilitarian space has become. The government uses it to preserve the national security; the private sector uses it for commercial advantage; NASA uses it in a search for knowledge, not just of the beyond, but applied knowledge which will shed light on conditions and circumstances critical to the Earth and its inhabitants. Significant benefits have already been derived from space research. For example, communications satellites now provide worldwide communications to well over 100 countries. Communications satellites have profoundly changed modem life, making events immediate, impacts instantaneous, and instruction possible almost anywhere. Future benefits will be even more impressive. The future looks bright, and NASA will be an important part of it. The government-industry-university partnership, pioneered by NASA, has worked exceedingly well in aerospace research, providing a model to others on how the different sectors of American society can work together. This effort reflects America at its best: peacefully seeking knowledge and enlightenment, advancing technology for mankind’s benefit, and organizing resources to accomplish great missions. In order to recognize the enormous achievements by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Congress has, by House Joint Resolution 284, authorized and requested the President to proclaim October 1, 1983, as*Ante*, p. 731. the “Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.” NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 1, 1983, as the “Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.” I call upon the people of the United States to observe that occasion with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of October, 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 eighth.
