National Sanctity of Human Life Day, 2007
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America
America was founded on the principle that we are all endowed by our Creator with the right to life and that every individual has dignity and worth. National Sanctity of Human Life Day helps foster a culture of life and reinforces our commitment to building a compassionate society that respects the value of every human being.
Among the most basic duties of Government is to defend the unalienable right to life, and my Administration is committed to protecting our society's most vulnerable members. We are vigorously promoting parental notification laws, adoption, abstinence education, crisis pregnancy programs, and the vital work of faith-based groups. Through the "Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002," the "Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003," and the "Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004," we are helping to make our country a more hopeful place.
One of our society's challenges today is to harness the power of science to ease human suffering without sanctioning practices that violate the dignity of human life. With the right policies, we can continue to achieve scientific progress while living up to our ethical and moral responsibilities.
National Sanctity of Human Life Day serves as a reminder that we must value human life in all forms, not just those considered healthy, wanted, or convenient. Together, we can work toward a day when the dignity and humanity of every person is respected.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Sunday, January 21, 2007, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. I call upon all Americans to recognize this day with appropriate ceremonies and to underscore our commitment to respecting and protecting the life and dignity of every human being.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.

Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday, 2007
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America
On the Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday, Americans honor the memory of a man who stirred the conscience of a Nation. We also recommit ourselves to the dream to which Dr. King devoted his life an America where the dignity of every person is respected; where people are judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character; and where the hope of a better tomorrow is in every neighborhood.
When Martin Luther King, Jr., came to our Nation's Capital in the summer of 1963, he came to inspire America and to call on our citizens to live up to the principles of our founding. His dream spread a message of hope, justice, and brotherhood that took hold in the hearts of men and women across our great land, and it continues to speak to millions here at home and around the world.
We honor Martin Luther King, Jr., and remember his strength of character and his leadership. We also remember the work that still remains. America has come a long way since Dr. King's time, yet our journey to justice is not complete. There is still a need for all Americans to hear the power and hope of Dr. King's enduring words so that we can hasten the day when his dream is made real. Last year, I was proud to sign the "Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act of 2006." This Act renewed the 1965 bill that reaffirmed our belief that all men are created equal, broke the segregationist lock on the ballot box, and helped bring an excluded community into the center of American democracy. Our Nation will continue to build on the legal equality championed by Dr. King and all the heroes of the civil rights movement, and we will continue our work to protect the promise of our Declaration and guarantee the rights of every citizen.
As we observe Dr. King's birthday, let us honor his legacy and go forward with confidence as a Nation united, committed to destroying discrimination, and dedicated to extending the full blessings of liberty and opportunity to all Americans.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Monday, January 15, 2007, as the Martin Luther King, Jr., Federal Holiday. I encourage all Americans to observe this special day with appropriate civic, community, and service programs and activities in honor of Dr. King's life and legacy.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.

Fifth Anniversary of USA Freedom Corps, 2007
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America
The great strength of our Nation is found in the heroic kindness, courage, and self-sacrifice of the American people. Every day, individuals show the good heart of our country by volunteering to help make someone's life better. Since 2002, the USA Freedom Corps has provided access to volunteer opportunities for millions of Americans. On the fifth anniversary of the USA Freedom Corps, we honor volunteers who give their time and talents to make a difference in the lives of others, and we recognize that helping those in need makes America a more hopeful country.
The USA Freedom Corps was created to encourage Americans to answer the call to serve a cause greater than themselves. By matching willing volunteers with opportunities in their communities, the USA Freedom Corps brings Americans together to mentor children, assist the elderly, clean up neighborhoods, and perform countless acts of generosity. The USA Freedom Corps has helped support national service programs such as AmeriCorps, Citizen Corps, Peace Corps, and Senior Corps. Through programs like these, volunteers all across the country bring comfort and kindness to people at home and abroad.
Through the USA Freedom Corps website at volunteer.gov, all Americans can find ways to serve in our country's armies of compassion. By answering the universal call to help a neighbor, individual Americans can transform towns and cities into more caring communities and neighborhoods and make America a better place.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 29, 2007, as the Fifth Anniversary of the USA Freedom Corps. I call upon the citizens of this great country to find ways to volunteer and help their fellow Americans. I commend the efforts of the USA Freedom Corps and all those who have already answered the call to serve, and I encourage all Americans to give of their time, energy, and talents to make America even stronger.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fifth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.

# Reuben and Other Poems/Brighton Front

BRIGHTON FRONT
Spew’d forth in fell array ’Gainst yon accusing presence of pure Even, Look where the town’s thick volley of foul breath Hits and besmirches Heaven, And spurs the dying day Unto its death. The lamps fling out their long straight miles of glare, But, upon stealthy feet, Fog walks the street: Coil’d round by whose chill hands, each troubled flare, Paled, penn’d, bereft of rays, Confusedly betrays, But cannot lift, the burden of the air; Nor the gilt shops, blindfold for all their blaze, Illumine can the dulness and the daze, Or light the listless eyes that in them gaze. Yet still the mire-thick road Re-echoes, the hoarse cries Fight one another; Carriages thud along toward revelries, And, fain of nothings, jewell’d and in rags, ​Deaf by dumb brother, Prick’d by Vacuity’s unsparing goad, Man thrusts and presses o’er the clanking flags. O, is the city clean forgot of Peace? Can nothing put the spangled squalor by, And bid the futile buzzing tension cease? Ah, then, to escape the unvaluable strife! To front large issues, and achieve release From this mad flow of triviality This ebb of life!
Look! look! another light! Listen! another voice! Forget the street— Turn, and with lampless and oft-stumbling feet O’er layer’d nets outspread, Past patient keels that keep Dumb witness to the Deep, And over the untrack’d sharp shingle tread Whither the quiet calling summoneth. The thick loud town to left of us and right, Forth! Face the lonely sea, the wide bare night, And once again draw breath.
Deep, vast and free, Absolute, naught between, Reigns overhead Heaven’s right immensity! Life on this landward salty air doth sit Quickening it: Veil-less the moon: far spread the shining sea! ​Here is clean outlook, here doth no lie come, No littleness abide, Here freedom yet retains her ancient home, Beauty here issues freshly from the foam, And the Soul’s wings are wide. O ever-breathing Breast, Re-inspire me! O Energy unresting, give me rest! Succour me, O strong Sea! Hark . . . hark . . . ! The billow rises, The billow breaks, The sea calls, And my heart awakes!
O my heart! We, beach’d so high on this world’s huckster strand, Might we at last in truth the mooring slip, And out upon wide water like a ship Launch forth and leave the land,— Flee the staled air, the loud and empty life, The little lights, with the great Light of Heaven Pretentiously at strife! Scarce would we then be fain of any goal, For any haven sigh! Content, awhile, ’twixt heaven and earth to lie Unscreen’d, and fenceless fly Unholden winds before. While the great voice of sheer Infinity, Voice of a Soul and speaking to the Soul, ​For aye should speak around us, and (the shore Wiped wholly out, the offing far and free), Strong and with full-spread sails we might explore, With keel enfranchis’d, way uncheck’d, range o’er Some huge uncharted Sea!

Return, O LORD, how long by John Newton
    Return to bless my waiting eyes,
    And cheer my mourning heart, O Lord!
    Without Thee, all beneath the skies
    No real pleasure can afford.
    When Thy loved presence meets my sight,
    It softens care, and sweetens toil;
    The sun shines forth with double light,
    The whole creation wears a smile.
    Upon thine arm of love I rest,
    Thy gracious voice forbids my fear;
    No storms disturb my peaceful breast,
    No foes assault when Thou art near.
    But ah! since Thou hast been away,
    Nothing but trouble have I known;
    And Satan marks me for his prey
    Because he sees me left alone.
    My sun is hid, my comforts lost,
    My graces droop, my sins revive;
    Distressed, dismayed, and tempest tossed,
    My soul is only just alive!
    Lord, hear my cry and come again!
    Put all mine enemies to shame,
    And let them see, ’tis not in vain
    That I have trusted in Thy Name.
# Returning Swedish-Americans Not Wanted in Sweden

* related portals: Newspapers.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
Svenska Tribunen-Nyheter was a Chicago newspaper published in 1906-1936. Editor-in-chief in 1905-1913 was C.F. Eriksson.
From Svenska Tribunen-Nyheter, Nov. 9, 1909
(Editorial)
It is not unusual for Swedish-Americans to return to Sweden to live for the sake of their health, or to go home for an extended stay for that reason, and it seems that some members of the Swedish medical profession take a serious view of this practice. At the request of the Swedish Emigration Commission three hundred country doctors have answered the question "whether persons returning from American may be considered desirable immigrants from the standpoint of their state of health."
While answering this question with an unqualified "yes," many of the doctors express their regret that so many Swedes spend the most productive years of their life in a foreign country; at the same time they declare that these immigrants are, as a rule, in good condition and also energetic and resourceful, and are, therefore, an asset to the communities where they make their homes.
But a considerable number of the doctors claim to have observes that returning Swedish-Americans are of inferior quality in regard to health and productive ability, and that quite a few of them are afflicted with tuberculosis. In regard to the latter, some doctors recommend that, under present conditions, they be refused entry.
In our opinion the good doctors should not worry too much about the returning Swedish-Americans. But their attitude is of interest to those who are planning to go back to the old fatherland.

# Report of The Inter-Governmental Committee, Malaysia/Proceedings questioning the validity of a Federal or State Law

31. Proceedings questioning the validity of a Federal or State Law
Under Article 4(3) of the existing Federal Constitution the validity of a law made by the Federal Parliament or the Legislature of a State may not be questioned on the ground that it makes provision with respect to any matter with respect to which Parliament or the Legislature in question has no power to make laws except in proceedings of the kind mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of Article 4(3), i.e. in proceedings between Governments. In order to enable proceedings questioning the validity of a law on this ground to be brought otherwise than by a Government Article 4(3) should be amended to enable its validity to be questioned in proceedings for a declaration commenced with the leave of a Judge of the Supreme Court, to which the Federal Government and the Government of any State to which the law applies should be entitled to be parties.
# Report of The Inter-Governmental Committee, Malaysia/Public Service

27. Public Service
(1) The Federal Constitution should be modified as necessary in its application to each of the Borneo States to secure that the qualifications (including language) normally required in Malaya for candidates for appointment in each Division of the Federal Public Service may be adjusted in relation to the Borneo States so as to permit the acceptance of the qualifications in force in those States on Malaysia Day. An assurance would be given that they would be so adjusted until such time as, after consultation with the State Government, the Federal Government was satisfied that a sufficient number of candidates from that State was available with the standard qualifications under the Federal schemes of service.
(2) The Federal Constitution should provide for the establishment for a minimum period of five years of two separate branches of the Federal Public Service Commission, one in North Borneo and one in Sarawak. Each branch should have jurisdiction over members of the Federal public services in the State concerned who would otherwise be under the jurisdiction of the Federal ​Public Service Commission, and the provisions of Article 144 should be applied to these branches so as to give them full powers of appointment, promotion and disciplinary control over persons to whom their jurisdiction extends within the Borneo States. The Federal Government should undertake that the branches of the Federal Public Service Commission would consist of the members of the respective State Public Service Commission with the addition of not more than two members of the Federal Public Service Commission designated by the Federal Government. The Chairman of a branch would be such member of the branch as may be designated by the Chairman of the Federal Public Service Commission. The Governments of the Borneo States would undertake that so long as the arrangement lasted whereby members of the State Public Service Commission were members of the branches of the Federal Public Service Commission new appointments to the State Public Service Commission would only be made after consultation with the Federal Government.
(3) Provision should be made in the appropriate constitution for an Appeals Board with neutral membership (see paragraph 23 of Annex B) to which any overseas officer entitled to compensation can appeal in the event of a disciplinary decision of a Service Commission affecting his compensation or pension. The appeal would be against the effect of the decision on the officer's compensation or pension rather than against the disciplinary decision itself.
(4) Detailed recommendations covering the Public Service generally are set out in Annex B.
