Designating the Clark and Mark Twain National Forests as the Mark Twain National Forest

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The Mark Twain National Forest and the Clark National Forest were established within the State of Missouri. Part of the Clark National Forest was later transferred to the Mark Twain National Forest; at the same time, part of the Mark Twain National Forest was transferred to the Clark National Forest. Subsequently, both national forests have been successfully administered as if they were a single national forest. This experience indicates that it is now in the public interest to consolidate these two national forests. NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R.

National Poison Prevention Week, 1976 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation The life of a child is precious. The loss of even one child is tragic. Yet each year accidental poisonings cause too many of our Nation's children to suffer illness and injury from which they may never recover. As every parent knows, children are by nature inquisitive.
