No. 10762. Armed Forces Day</heading> Proc. No. 10762, <date date="2024-05-17">May 17, 2024</date>, 89 F.R. 44907, provided: Our Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force, Coast Guard, National Guard, and Reserve Forces comprise the greatest fighting force the world has ever known. Throughout the annals of history, they have stood on the frontlines of freedom—risking everything to keep the light of liberty burning bright at home and around the globe. On Armed Forces Day, we honor their service. We remember their selfless sacrifices. We renew our solemn vow to them and their families, caregivers, and survivors. Our Nation has many obligations but only one that is truly sacred: to train and equip those we send into harm’s way and care for them and their families when they come home. Since I came into office, I have signed over 30 bipartisan bills to support our service members, our veterans, and their families. That includes the [Honoring our] PACT Act [of 2022, <ref href="/us/pl/117/168">Pub. L. 117–168</ref>, see Tables for classification]—the most significant law in our Nation’s history to help the millions of veterans who were exposed to toxic substances and burn pits during their military service. Further, we are working to ensure that service members and their families have access to the mental health care they need—an important step toward ending the silent scourge of suicide that has already taken too many lives. At the same time, we are working to give service members, veterans, and their families some well-deserved breathing room. My Administration helped fix the student loan system, easing the burden of $160 billion of student debt for nearly 4.6 million Federal student loan borrowers through various actions. This year, I took the most comprehensive set of administrative actions in our Nation’s history to support the economic security of military families, spouses, caregivers, and survivors. We are making it easier for military spouses to find work by making it easier for the Federal Government to hire them, encouraging employers to offer more flexible leave policies, and lowering the cost of child care for military families. Through the First Lady’s Joining Forces Initiative, we are taking further action to support military and veteran spouses in finding and keeping good-paying jobs as well as health and wellness resources. As Commander in Chief, I am committed to ensuring that every member of our military feels safe and respected—and that means ensuring inclusivity, dignity, and decency remain at the core of the culture of our Armed Forces. I am proud to have implemented historic, bipartisan reforms to our military justice system, which better protect victims and ensure prosecutorial decisions for sexual assault, domestic violence, and other crimes are fully independent from the chain of command. One of my earliest acts in office was to end the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in the military. My Administration will continue to stand up to all forms of harassment and hate within our ranks so that all our service members can thrive. No matter how high the cost, how great the risk, or how heavy the burden—through long deployments and dangers, frequent moves and challenging trainings, and the many other unique burdens of serving our country—our Nation’s Armed Forces have always met the moment. They exemplify the very best of our Nation. Today—and every day—let us honor their service, sacrifice, courage, and commitment. Let us continue to meet our sacred obligation to them and their families, caregivers, and survivors. May God bless and protect our service members and veterans. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, continuing the precedent of my predecessors in office, do hereby proclaim the third Saturday of each May as Armed Forces Day. I direct the Secretary of Defense, on behalf of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, on behalf of the Coast Guard, to plan for appropriate observances each year, with the Secretary of Defense responsible for soliciting the participation and cooperation of civil authorities and private citizens. I invite the Governors of the States, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States to provide for the observance of Armed Forces Day within their respective jurisdictions each year in an appropriate manner designed to increase public understanding and appreciation of the Armed Forces of the United States. I also invite veterans, civic leaders, and other organizations to join in the observance of Armed Forces Day each year. Finally, I call upon all Americans to display the flag of the United States at their homes and businesses on Armed Forces Day, and I urge citizens to learn more about military service by attending and participating in the local observances of the day. Proclamation 10585 of <date date="2023-05-19">May 19, 2023</date>, is hereby superseded. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventeenth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-eighth. <signature> <name>J.R.

No. 8455, <date date="2009-11-20">Nov. 20, 2009</date>, 74 F.R. 61261, provided: Our Nation’s farm and ranch families supply many of the basic necessities of our daily life. They manage a large portion of our country’s fertile land base, and they are caretakers of our valuable natural resources and diverse ecosystems. Their connections with urban and suburban communities are critical to our economy and to the nourishment of our people. During National Farm-City Week, we express gratitude for the contributions of our Nation’s farmers and ranchers, and we rededicate ourselves to providing all Americans with access to healthy food, and thus, a healthy future. Pioneered by Native Americans, agriculture was our Nation’s first industry. For agriculture to thrive in the 21st century, we must continue to cultivate the relationships between farmers and rural businesses and their partners and customers in cities and towns. American farmers and ranchers are proud to grow the food, feed, fuel, and fiber that enhance our national security and prosperity, and remain steadfast stewards of the land they love. We must ensure that farming is maintained as an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable way of life for future generations. This Thanksgiving season, we celebrate farms of every size that produce fruits, vegetables, dairy, and livestock indispensable to the health of our families. We also recognize the vital ties between our urban and suburban communities and their local farmers through regional food systems, farmers markets, and community gardens. During National Farm-City Week, we celebrate the bounty of America, and we honor the commitment of those who grow, harvest, and deliver agricultural goods to feed our country and grow our economy. NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim the week ending on Thanksgiving Day of each year as National Farm-City Week. I call on Americans as they gather with their families and friends to reflect on the accomplishments of all who dedicate their lives to promoting our Nation’s agricultural abundance and environmental stewardship. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of November, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth. <signature> <name>Barack Obama.</name> </signature> </note> <note style="-uslm-lc:I86" topic="miscellaneous" id="id62fa6d57-d2b4-11ef-a1f3-ddde7bca0a9c"> <heading class="centered smallCaps">Proc. No. 8641. Cesar Chavez Day</heading> Proc. No. 8641, <date date="2011-03-30">Mar. 30, 2011</date>, 76 F.R. 18629, provided: Our Nation’s story of progress is rich with profound struggle and great sacrifice, marked by the selfless acts and fearless leadership of remarkable Americans. A true champion for justice, Cesar Chavez advocated for and won many of the rights and benefits we now enjoy, and his spirit lives on in the hands and hearts of working women and men today. As we celebrate the anniversary of his birth, we honor Cesar Chavez’s lasting victories for American workers and his noble methods in achieving them. Raised in the fields of Arizona and California, Cesar Chavez faced hardship and injustice from a young age. At the time, farm workers toiled in the shadows of society, vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. Families like Chavez’s were impoverished; exposed to hazardous working conditions and dangerous pesticides; and often denied clean drinking water, toilets, and other basic necessities. Cesar Chavez saw the need for change and made a courageous choice to work to improve the lives of his fellow farm workers. Through boycotts and fasts, he led others on a path of nonviolence conceived in careful study of the teachings of St. Francis of Assisi and Mahatma Gandhi, and in the powerful example of Martin Luther King, Jr. He became a community organizer and began his lifelong advocacy to protect and empower people. With quiet leadership and a powerful voice, Cesar founded the United Farm Workers (UFW) with Dolores Huerta, launching one of our Nation’s most inspiring social movements. Cesar Chavez’s legacy provides lessons from which all Americans can learn. One person can change the course of a nation and improve the lives of countless individuals. Cesar once said, “Non-violence is not inaction. … Non-violence is hard work. It is the willingness to sacrifice. It is the patience to win.” From his inspiring accomplishments, we have learned that social justice takes action, selflessness, and commitment. As we face the challenges of our day, let us do so with the hope and determination of Cesar Chavez, echoing the words that were his rallying cry and that continue to inspire so many today, “Sí, se puede”—“Yes, we can.” NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31 of each year as Cesar Chavez Day. I call upon all Americans to observe this day with appropriate service, community, and educational programs to honor Cesar Chavez’s enduring legacy. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this thirtieth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand eleven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fifth. <signature> <name>Barack Obama.</name> </signature> </note> <note style="-uslm-lc:I86" topic="miscellaneous" id="id62fcde58-d2b4-11ef-a1f3-ddde7bca0a9c"> <heading class="centered smallCaps">Proc. No. 8647. World Autism Awareness Day</heading> Proc. No. 8647, <date date="2011-04-01">Apr. 1, 2011</date>, 76 F.R. 19265, provided: With autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) affecting nearly one percent of children in the United States, autism is an urgent public health issue with a profound impact on millions of Americans. World Autism Awareness Day is an opportunity to recognize the contributions of individuals with ASDs and rededicate ourselves to the cause of understanding and responding to autism. Men and women on the autism spectrum have thrived and excelled in communities across America and around the world. Yet, despite great progress in understanding ASDs, challenges remain for these individuals and their loved ones. For too long, the needs of people living with autism and their families have gone without adequate support and understanding. While we continue to encourage the development of resources for children on the autism spectrum and provide necessary resources for their families, we must also remember that young people with ASDs become adults with ASDs who deserve our support, our respect, and the opportunity to realize their highest aspirations. As our understanding of the autism spectrum grows, my Administration remains dedicated to supporting children and adults impacted by autism. Led by the Department of Health and Human Services, we have expanded investments in autism research, public health tracking, early detection, and services—from early intervention for children to improved long-term services and support programs for adults. My Administration maintains a firm commitment to advance autism research and treatment, as well as promote education, employment, and equality for all individuals with autism, from early childhood through employment and community life. We will continue to work with the Congress, experts, and families to improve Federal and State programs that assist individuals with ASDs and their families and to bolster the impact and reach of community support and services. I encourage all Americans to visit www.HHS.gov/autism for more information and resources on ASDs. With each breakthrough in research and each innovative treatment, we open endless possibilities for the many American families who have been touched by autism. As we mark World Autism Awareness Day, let us recommit to improving the lives of individuals and families impacted by ASDs and creating a world free from discrimination where all can achieve their fullest potential. NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 2 of each year as World Autism Awareness Day. I call upon the people of the United States to learn more about autism and what they can do to support individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of April, in the year of our Lord two thousand eleven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fifth. <signature> <name>Barack Obama.</name> </signature> </note> <note style="-uslm-lc:I86" topic="executiveOrder" id="id62fcde59-d2b4-11ef-a1f3-ddde7bca0a9c"> <heading class="centered smallCaps">Executive Order No. 13072</heading> Ex.

No. 8442, <date date="2009-10-23">Oct. 23, 2009</date>, 74 F.R. 55437, provided: America’s forests have helped spur the growth and development that has been indispensable to our Nation’s success. They have provided timber and water, as well as habitat for wildlife and opportunities for recreational activities. As a repository for renewable natural resources, forests have supplied the raw materials that have sustained us throughout our history. During National Forest Products Week, we recognize the value of our woodlands and commit ourselves to good stewardship and conservation practices that help us to responsibly manage our Nation’s forests. As a renewable and recyclable resource, wood is one of our Nation’s most environmentally friendly building materials. Wood fiber is used throughout our daily lives, from the paper we write on to the offices where we work. We value the beauty of wood in our furniture, in our homes, and in artwork that surrounds us. Today, modern technology and stewardship practices by Federal, State, tribal, and private landowners have improved the way we manage our natural resources so that forests can meet the needs of current and future generations. Forests are one of the foundations on which our Nation was formed; they are the backbone of our environment. This week, we recognize the value of forest products and the importance of their sustainable use to our lives. To recognize the importance of products from our forests, the Congress, by <ref href="/us/pl/86/753">Public Law 86–753</ref> (<ref href="/us/usc/t36/s123">36 U.S.C. 123</ref>), as amended, has designated the week beginning on the third Sunday in October of each year as National Forest Products Week and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week. NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning on the third Sunday in October of each year as National Forest Products Week. I call on all Americans to celebrate the varied uses and products of our forested lands, as well as the people who carry on the tradition of careful stewardship of these precious natural resources for generations to come. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-third day of October, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth. <signature> <name>Barack Obama.</name> </signature> </note> </notes> </section> <section style="-uslm-lc:I80" id="id63019916-d2b4-11ef-a1f3-ddde7bca0a9c" identifier="/us/usc/t36/s124"><num value="124">§ 124.</num><heading> National Freedom Day</heading><content> The President may issue each year a proclamation designating February 1 as National Freedom Day to commemorate the signing by Abraham Lincoln on <date date="1865-02-01">February 1, 1865</date>, of the joint resolution adopted by the Senate and the House of Representatives that proposed the 13th amendment to the Constitution. </content><sourceCredit id="id63019917-d2b4-11ef-a1f3-ddde7bca0a9c">(<ref href="/us/pl/105/225">Pub.

No. 8484, <date date="2010-03-15">Mar. 15, 2010</date>, 75 F.R. 13215, provided: Since 1962, during National Poison Prevention Week we alert American families about the dangers of accidental poisonings and provide information on safety measures that can prevent senseless injuries and deaths. With nearly two million poison exposures reported each year, we must take every precaution to guard against these preventable tragedies. Sadly, more than half of all reported poisonings involve children under the age of six, and the vast majority take place in the home. Parents should keep household chemicals and medicines in child-proof containers, beyond the reach of their children. Thanks to safety regulations and awareness campaigns like National Poison Prevention Week, childhood death rates from unintentional poisonings have fallen considerably. However, adult death rates have steadily risen in recent years. We must each remember to read labels thoroughly before taking medications, to keep medicines in their original packaging, and to dispose of them properly. Consulting a physician before combining prescription drugs or using them with alcohol also reduces our risks. In the event of an accidental poisoning, crucial information and immediate action can save lives. Individuals can call the toll-free national poison control hotline at 1–800–222–1222 to be connected to one of dozens of local poison control centers, which are open 24 hours every day. These centers provide emergency assistance, offer guidance on poison prevention, and answer questions concerning potential exposure. To encourage Americans to learn more about the dangers of accidental poisonings and to take appropriate preventive measures, the Congress, by joint resolution approved <date date="1961-09-26">September 26, 1961</date>, as amended (<ref href="/us/stat/75/681">75 Stat. 681</ref>), has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation designating the third week of March each year as “National Poison Prevention Week.” NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the third week of March of each year as National Poison Prevention Week. I call upon all Americans to observe this week by taking actions to protect their families from hazardous household materials and from the misuse of prescription medications. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand ten, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-fourth. <signature> <name>Barack Obama.</name> </signature> </note> </notes> </section> <section style="-uslm-lc:I80" id="id63040a4b-d2b4-11ef-a1f3-ddde7bca0a9c" identifier="/us/usc/t36/s131"><num value="131">§ 131.</num><heading> National Safe Boating Week</heading><content> The President is requested to issue each year a proclamation designating the 7-day period ending on the last Friday before Memorial Day as National Safe Boating Week. </content><sourceCredit id="id63040a4c-d2b4-11ef-a1f3-ddde7bca0a9c">(<ref href="/us/pl/105/225">Pub.

No. 5574, <date date="1986-11-20">Nov. 20, 1986</date>, 51 F.R. 42197, provided: Americans have always loved the flowers with which God decorates our land. More often than any other flower, we hold the rose dear as the symbol of life and love and devotion, of beauty and eternity. For the love of man and woman, for the love of mankind and God, for the love of country, Americans who would speak the language of the heart do so with a rose. We see proofs of this everywhere. The study of fossils reveals that the rose has existed in America for age upon age. We have always cultivated roses in our gardens. Our first President, George Washington, bred roses, and a variety he named after his mother is still grown today. The White House itself boasts a beautiful Rose Garden. We grow roses in all our fifty States. We find roses throughout our art, music, and literature. We decorate our celebrations and parades with roses. Most of all, we present roses to those we love, and we lavish them on our altars, our civil shrines, and the final resting places of our honored dead. The American people have long held a special place in their hearts for roses. Let us continue to cherish them, to honor the love and devotion they represent, and to bestow them on all we love just as God has bestowed them on us. The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 159 [<ref href="/us/pl/99/449">Pub. L. 99–449</ref>, now this section], has designated the rose as the National Floral Emblem of the United States and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation declaring this fact. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the rose as the National Floral Emblem of the United States of America. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh. <signature> <name>Ronald Reagan.</name> </signature> </note> </notes> </section> <section style="-uslm-lc:I80" id="id630653e4-d2b4-11ef-a1f3-ddde7bca0a9c" identifier="/us/usc/t36/s304"><num value="304">§ 304.</num><heading> National march</heading><content> The composition by John Philip Sousa entitled “The Stars and Stripes Forever” is the national march. </content><sourceCredit id="id630653e5-d2b4-11ef-a1f3-ddde7bca0a9c">(<ref href="/us/pl/105/225">Pub.

The words “as the case may be” in 36:121 are omitted as unnecessary. The word “salary” in 36:122a is omitted as included in “pay”. In subsection (c), the words “Secretary of the Army” are substituted for “Department of the Army” because of 10:3013(a)(1). </note> <note style="-uslm-lc:I74" topic="historicalAndRevision" id="id630b0edc-d2b4-11ef-a1f3-ddde7bca0a9c"><heading class="centered smallCaps"><ref href="/us/pl/105/354">Pub.

The functions of the Council shall be as follows: (a) To stimulate research in the mathematical, physical, biological, environmental, and social sciences, and in the application of these sciences to engineering, agriculture, medicine, and other useful arts, with the object of increasing knowledge, of strengthening the national security including the contribution of science and engineering to economic growth, of ensuring the health of the American people, of aiding in the attainment of environmental goals, and of contributing in other ways to the public welfare. (b) To survey the broad possibilities of science, to formulate comprehensive projects of research, and to develop effective means of utilizing the scientific and technical resources of the country for dealing with such projects. (c) To promote cooperation in research, at home and abroad, in order to secure concentration of effort, minimize duplication, and stimulate progress; but in all cooperative undertakings to give encouragement to individual initiative, as fundamentally important to the advancement of science. (d) To serve as a means of bringing American and foreign investigators into active cooperation with the scientific and technical services of the Federal Government. (e) To direct the attention of scientific and technical investigators to the importance of military and industrial problems in connection with national security, to the importance of environmental problems in connection with public health and the economy, and to aid in the solution of these problems by organizing specific research. (f) To gather and collate scientific and technical information, at home and abroad, in cooperation with governmental and other agencies, and to disseminate such information to duly accredited persons and the public. 2. Scientists, engineers, and other technically qualified professionals who are officers or employees of departments and agencies of the executive branch of the Government are encouraged to participate in the work of the Council as requested by the Council to the extent authorized by the head of the officer’s or employee’s agency or department and permitted by law. 3. To the extent permitted by law and regulation, and in accordance with the congressional charter of the Academy, the actual expense of investigations, examinations, experiments, and reports by the Academy for the executive branch of the Government shall be paid to the Academy through one or more of the following: private gifts and bequests; appropriations for the benefit of the Academy; grants-in-aid, contracts, and other forms of financial agreement with executive departments and agencies. The Academy shall receive no compensation whatever for any services to the Government of the United States. Further, the Academy shall be subject to all provisions of OMB Circular A–122, “Cost Principles for Non-Profit Organizations,” and to such other requirements regarding or limiting the Academy’s recovery of costs as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget may specify from time to time in writing to the Academy and to agencies and departments of the Government. 4. When a department or agency of the executive branch of the Government determines that the Academy, because of its unique qualifications, is the only source that can provide the measure of expertise, independence, objectivity, and audience acceptance necessary to meet the department’s or agency’s program requirements, acquisition of services by the Academy may be obtained on a noncompetitive basis if otherwise in accordance with applicable law and regulations. </note> </notes> </section> <section style="-uslm-lc:I80" id="id6341fe1e-d2b4-11ef-a1f3-ddde7bca0a9c" identifier="/us/usc/t36/s150304"><num value="150304">§ 150304.</num><heading> Annual meeting</heading><content> The corporation shall hold an annual meeting at a place designated by the corporation. </content><sourceCredit id="id6341fe1f-d2b4-11ef-a1f3-ddde7bca0a9c">(<ref href="/us/pl/105/225">Pub.

Before clause (1), the word “objects” is omitted as included in “purposes”.

In clause (1), the word “adopt” is substituted for “enact”, the word “regulations” is substituted for “rules, and regulations”, and the words “for the management of its property and the regulation of its affairs” are substituted for “for its internal governance and management”, for consistency in the revised title. The words “not inconsistent with this chapter or other provisions of law” are omitted as unnecessary. In clause (5), the words “as the activities of the corporation require” are substituted for “as may be necessary to carry out the corporate purposes” for consistency in the revised title. In clause (6), the words “make contracts” are substituted for “make and enter into contracts” for consistency in the revised title and to eliminate unnecessary words. Clause (7) is substituted for 36:1303(d) for consistency in the revised title. In clause (8), the words “for the purposes of the corporation” are omitted as unnecessary. The words “instruments of indebtedness, and secure its obligations by granting security interests in its property” are substituted for “bonds therefor, and secure the same by mortgage” for consistency in the revised title. The words “subject in every case to all applicable provisions of Federal and State law” are omitted as unnecessary. In clause (10), the words “State, regional, local, and overseas” are omitted as unnecessary. The words “as needed” are substituted for “in such manner and by such rules as it deems appropriate so as to enable it”, and the words “to carry out the purposes stated in <ref href="/us/usc/t36/s220102">section 220102 of this title</ref>” are substituted for “to carry out its powers and accomplish the objects and purposes set forth in <ref href="/us/usc/t36/s1302">section 1302 of this title</ref>”, to eliminate unnecessary words. In clause (11), the word “raise” is omitted as included in “solicit”. The words “for the accomplishment of its purposes” are omitted as unnecessary. The words “accept gifts, legacies, devises, and support in furtherance thereof” are omitted as unnecessary because the same power is granted by the words “solicit funds” (in this clause) and “acquire [and] own . . . property” (in clause (6)). In clause (12), the words “in any court” are omitted as unnecessary. In clause (13), the words “any other act” are substituted for “any and all acts and things” for consistency in the revised title and to eliminate unnecessary words.
