International Clergy Week, 1977

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation In a civilization marred by disputes and conflicts, the ministers of God, representing all faiths, help lead the human family to an understanding of His love and His peace. Clergymen of all denominations point the way to a richer, more fulfilling life through higher moral standards. The clergy inspire all of us to hold firm to what is right—against what is wrong. They call upon us to practice charity and compassion. They bring us together and nearer to our Creator. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, in recognition of the spiritual and social contributions of the clergy in our Country and throughout the world, do hereby proclaim the week beginning January 30, 1977, as International Clergy Week in the United States. I urge all our people to honor these servants of God and man through appropriate activities and ceremonies.

I N WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-eighth day of January in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and first. JIMMY CARTER

Declaring a Natural Gas Emergency

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Abnormal weather conditions have caused prevailing temperatures in the United States, particularly in the East and Midwest, to be well below normal for the past three months. Many interstate natural gas pipelines and local natural gas distribution companies do not have sufficient supplies of flowing or stored gas to meet current demand. The shortage of natural gas available to some interstate pipelines and local distribution companies has been so severe as to cause them to curtail or to be in imminent danger of curtailing natural gas supplies to residences, small commercial establishments and other high priority users, so as to endanger life or health, and risk damage to plant or other facilities.
