PROCLAMATION 4993—OCT. 29, 1982

He was also our first modern chief executive, rejecting isolationism and leading America into active participation in world decisions for which we shared responsibility. Never again would the leaders of the Old World act without regard to this new world power called the United States. He understood our people and our spirit. He identified the national character with the words, "Americanism means the virtues of courage, honor, justice, truth, sincerity, and hardihood—the virtues that made America." And I might add, the virtues that made Theodore Roosevelt. NOW, THEREFORE, I. RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 27, 1982, as a Day of National Celebration of the one hundred twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of Theodore Roosevelt. I ask all Americans to join me in commemorating the birth of this fearless American hero. Let us redouble our efforts to confront adversity and promote the virtues and ideals of Americanism. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-seventh day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-two and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh.

Proclamation 4993 of October 29, 1982

Termination in Part of the Proclamations Carrying Out the Agreement Between the Governments of the United States of America and Argentina Concerning Hide Exports and Other Trade Matters

93 Stat. 1547.

By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. On August 10, 1979, the Governments of the United States of America and the Argentine Republic entered into an Agreement Concerning Hide Exports and Other Trade Matters (the Agreement) (TIAS 9976). The Agreement was implemented by Proclamation 4694 of September 29, 1979, and became effective October 1, 1979. 2. The Agreement provided in pertinent part that Argentina adopt a 20% ad valorem tax on exports of cattle hides, effective October 1, 1979, to replace its embargo on exports of such products, and then phase out the tax. The United States agreed to reduce its duty on bovine leather now provided for in item 121.61 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States (TSUS) (19 U.S.C. 1202), and to reduce its duty on corned beef provided for in item 107.48 of the TSUS. 3. Argentina has, since October 1980, failed to fully comply with the provisions of the Agreement.

95 Stat. 1845.

4. As a result of Argentina's breach of the Agreement, I proclaimed, on October 20, 1981, by Proclamation 4876, a suspension in part of the column 1 rate of duty applicable to item 121.61 of the TSUS.
