 PROCLAMATION 4750—APR. 15, 1980

94 STAT. 3749

Proclamation 4749 of April 14, 1980

National Farm Safety Week, 1980 By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation Every year hundreds of thousands of farm and ranch residents suffer unnecessary injury, and sometimes disabiHty and death, from accidents on the farm. The annual cost of these accidents totals several bilHon dollars. But statistics do not reveal the depth of personal loss and grief experienced by the injured and their famihes. Though progress has been made in many areas of farm accident control, more can be done. Safety leaders have demonstrated that accidents and injuries can be effectively reduced by greater caution in work habits, by consistent use of protective equipment, and by careful planning for emergencies. A safer agricultural environment will be more productive and better able to meet the tremendous food and fiber needs of our people in the decade ahead. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JIMMY CARTER, President of the United States of America, do hereby designate the seven-day period beginning July 25, 1980, as National Farm Safety Week. I urge the Nation's farmers and ranchers to adopt safe and sensible work practices and to remove unnecessary home and workplace hazards. Further, I call upon those who serve agricultural producers to become full partners in farm and community safety efforts. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of April in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fourth. JIMMY CARTER

Proclamation 4750 of April 15, 1980

Continuation of Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation I find that continued implementation of the Emergency Building Temperature Restrictions, Energy Conservation Contingency Plan No. 2, is required in the national interest. This Plan was transmitted by me to the Congress on March 1, 1979, and approved by resolution of each House of Congress in the manner provided by law. This Conservation Plan was implemented by me nine months ago because it was clear in view of unstable world production of crude oil that we could not rely on imports to meet our normal demand. Worldwide production of crude oil now is at levels even below those of the comparable period last year. We have had to terminate crude oil imports from Iran, and have experienced increased uncertainty about the level of continued crude oil supplies from other producing countries. Because of the actions of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan and the tensions between Iraq and Iran, the threat to the stability of commerce in the countries of the oil-producing Persian Gulf has increased. 79-194 O—81—pt. 3
