98 STAT. 3562 Proclamation 5161 of March 16, 1984 National Employ the Older Worker Week, 1984 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Older workers today represent a national resource of incomparable knowledge, judgment, and experience. In the coming decades, it is likely that older workers will constitute an increasing percentage of our population. Therefore, it is vital to the future prosperity of this Nation that these workers be encouraged to continue to make their considerable contributions by remaining in the work force or by serving their communities in voluntary roles.
Many employers have already recognized the potential contributions of older workers and have initiated hiring, retraining, second career, and job retention programs. In addition to these significant private initiatives, the Federal government has been active in promoting opportunities for older workers through a variety of efforts, including the recently implemented Job Training Partnership Act. These various private and public sector efforts have successfully demonstrated that, if sufficient opportunities are available, older workers can continue to make useful and valuable contributions which enhance the quality of life for their communities and which develop a renewed sense of their accomplishment and self-worth. *Ante*, p. 63.The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 205, has called for the designation by the President of the second full week in March, 1984 as “National Employ the Older Worker Week.
” Recognition of this special week presents an invaluable opportunity to focus public attention on the accomplishments of older workers. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning March 11, 1984, as National Employ the Older Worker Week, and 1 call upon the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. I urge all Governors, Mayors, and other public officials, leaders in business and labor, voluntary organizations, and private citizens to give special consideration to older workers with a view toward expanding the opportunities available to them.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 16th day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth. RONALD REAGAN 5162 March 17, 1984 National Energy Education Day, 1984 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5162 of March 17, 1984 National Energy Education Day, 1984 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation America’s vast energy resources are among its greatest assets.
Intelligent use of our existing energy supplies together with prudent conservation measures and development of alternative sources of supply will allow this country to maintain its position of world leadership and help ensure a higher standard of living and greater prosperity for all our people. 98 STAT. 3563 The shift in Government policy away from artificial controls to an emphasis on free market forces has produced adequate supplies of energy at affordable prices. The impact of this policy shift was clearly demonstrated by deregulation of petroleum prices, which resulted in greater production of energy, more efficient use of energy, and lower energy costs for consumers.
We anticipate a similar experience with the move toward a freer market in natural gas. Fundamental changes in the energy future of the United States and moves toward even greater energy security require that all grade levels of the American educational system prepare our youth for the new demands and challenges that lie ahead, in recognition of this fact and to bring together students, teachers, school officials, and community officials to focus on the need for a greater understanding of energy issues, Congress has. by Senate Joint Resolution 146, requested the President to proclaim March 23, 1984, as*Ante*, p. 15.
“National Energy Education Day.” NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 23, 1984, as National Energy Education Day. I call upon educational institutions, Federal agencies, and all Americans to participate in appropriate ceremonies and activities on that day. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.
RONALD REAGAN 5163 March 17, 1984 National Organ Donation Awareness Week, 1984 Digitization Vendor By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Proclamation 5163 of March 17, 1984 National Organ Donation Awareness Week, 1984 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation One of the most meaningful gifts that one human being can bestow upon another is the precious gift of life. It can be given simply by making arrangements to donate our organs or those of our loved ones after death.
Donation of our corneas would give others the gift of sight; donation of our kidneys, hearts, lungs, livers, and pancreata could save the lives of many people who might otherwise die. On several occasions during the last year, I have asked the American people to be aware of the opportunities to donate their organs, and I have made special pleas for small children in need of liver transplants. The response proved to be overwhelming. Tragically, however, many desperately ill persons, including small children, have died while awaiting a suitable organ.
Ironically, recent surveys indicate that about 93 percent of all Americans have heard about organ transplants, but the need for organs far surpasses the number donated each year. Our organ procurement system is being managed effectively by the private sector but can be improved to meet a larger portion of the need. For these reasons, I supported the establishment of the American Council on Transplantation. The primary goal of this national umbrella organization is to increase the availability of organs for transplantation. 98 STAT. 3564 It is appropriate that we as a Nation encourage organ donation and increase public awareness of the need for such donations.
By filling out a uniform donor card and carrying it, and by making our wishes of donation known to our families, we may give the gift of life to people who so desperately need solid organs for transplantation, an exceedingly scarce resource. Americans are a caring and giving people. I have heard from many Americans who have lost their loved ones in tragic accidents, but who have found solace in knowing that through their loss other lives were saved. The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 228, has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation designating the week beginning April 22, 1984, as “National Organ Donation Awareness Week.
” NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week of April 22 through April 28, 1984, as National Organ Donation Awareness Week. I urge all citizens, health care professionals, educators, the media, and the public and private organizations concerned with organ donation and transplantation to join me in supporting this humanitarian action. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.

These fees were to be effective pending my further action after receipt of the report of findings and recommendations of the United States International Trade Commission after its investigation with respect to this matter pursuant to section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, as amended (7 U.S.C. 624). The Commission has made its investigation and reported its findings and recommendations to me. On the basis of the information submitted to me, I find and declare that:
(a)Sugars classified under items 155.20 and 155.30 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States
(TSUS)(19 U.S.C. 1202) are being or are practically certain to be imported into the United States under such conditions and in such quantities as to render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, the price support operations being conducted by the Department of Agriculture for sugar cane and sugar beets.
(b)The imposition of the import fees hereinafter proclaimed is necessary in order that the entry, or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption, of such sugars will not render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, the price support operations being conducted by the Department of Agriculture for sugar beets and sugar cane. 98 STAT. 3565 NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, as amended, and the statutes of the United States, [7 USC 624](/us/usc/t7/s624).including section 301 of Title 3 of the United States Code, do hereby proclaim until otherwise superseded by law: A.
