Twenty years ago, by a joint resolution approved July 17, 1959 (73 Stat. 212), the Eighty-Sixth Congress authorized and requested the President to proclaim the third week in July of each year as Captive Nations Week. However greatly the world has changed in the past generation, our country's fundamental faith in human freedom remains constant. Americans now, as at all times in our history, remain steadfast in our belief that liberty and national independence are among the universal birthrights of mankind.

Remembering our democratic heritage and our commitment to human rights, let us take this occasion to reaffirm our admiration for all the men and women around the world who are committed to the cause of freedom.

And mindful of our own rich and diverse heritage, let us express our compassion and respect for persons around the world still seeking the realization of these ideals in their own lands.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the week beginning July 15, 1979, as Captive Nations Week.

I invite the people of the United States to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities and to reaffirm their dedication to the ideals which unite us and serve as inspiration to others.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-secom day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-nine, and c the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and third.

The Secretary of Energy has advised me that the continued reduction in
world crude oil production has resulted in a national energy supply short-
age constituting a severe energy supply interruption as defined in Section
3(8) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6202(8)). The Sec-
retary based his conclusion on the fact that current and projected imports
of crude oil and petroleum products, plus available stocks, are not adequate
to meet normal demand and that shortages of essential fuels have begun to
have a major adverse impact on the economy with the possibility of more
severe impacts occurring in the future. Recent shortages of gasoline in some
areas of the Nation and the current inadequate levels of heating oil stocks
have underscored the seriousness of the situation and demonstrate that
action must be taken now to conserve available supplies of petroleum.
On the basis of the Secretary's report, and other information available to
me, I hereby find and determine, in accordance with Sections 201(b) and
3(8) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6261(b), 6202(8)),
the existence of a national energy supply shortage constituting a severe
energy supply interruption, which:

(A) is of significant scope and duration and of an emergency nature;

(B) may cause major adverse impact on national safety or the national economy; and

(C) has resulted from an interruption in the supply of imported petroleum products.

I further find that implementation of the Emergency Building Temperature
Restrictions, Energy Conservation Contingency Plan No. 2, is required by
the severe energy supply interruption. This Plan was transmitted by me to
the Congress on March 1, 1979, and approved by a resolution of each House
(S. Res. 122, 125 Cong. Rec. S 5135 (May 2, 1979); H. Res. 209, 125 Cong. Rec.
H 3018 (May 10, 1979)), which resolutions have been transmitted to me by
the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House. Those resolutions
were received by me on May 4 and May 15, 1979, respectively.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of
America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the

I

Л

ited States, including Section 201(b) of the Energy Policy and Conservaon Act (42 U.S.C. 6261(b)), do hereby proclaim that:

:ction 1. A severe energy supply interruption, as defined in Section 3(8) of e Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6202(8)) currently exists With respect to the supply of imported crude oil and petroleum products. ec. 2. This finding shall be immediately transmitted to the Congress.

Proclamation 4669 of July 17, 1979

United States Space Observance, 1979

By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

Ten years ago this week, the Apollo astronauts changed forever, for all humanity, our concept of the universe and our relation to it. Their electrifying landing on the Moon-that "giant leap" to the surface of another worldwas an unparalleled triumph of determination and technological genius. It epitomized the strength and the potential of the American people.

During ten years since, space has become part of our daily lives. We use it for essential communications and for monitoring our environment. Nationally and internationally, the exploration and use of space hold even greater promise in the future for the wiser management of our planetary resources, for the expansion of knowledge, and for the development of civilization.

In recognition of this triumph, the Congress, by joint resolution (H.J. Res. 353), has requested that the period of July 16 through 24, 1979, be designated as "United States Space Observance."
