In recognition of bread as an essential in the nation's diet, and as a token of our gratitude for abundant food supplies, the Congress by. Senate Joint Resolution 218 has requested the President to proclaim Tuesday, the 6th of October, 1970, as a Day of Bread, as a part of international observances, and the week of October within which it falls as a period of Harvest Festival.

Now, Therefore, I, Richard Nixon, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate Tuesday, October 6, 1970, as a Day of Bread, as a part of international observances, and the week beginning October 4, 1970, as a period of Harvest Festival; and I call upon the people of the United States to join with those of other nations in these observances.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of September, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventy, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and ninety-fifth.

RICHARD NIXON
