Now, Therefore, I, Richard Nixon, President of the United States of America, do hereby so designate the second week of March 1970.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this fifth day of March, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred ninety-fourth.
