IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed. DONE at the City of Washington this twentieth day of June in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and fifty-eight, and [SEAL] of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and eighty-second.
