# Proclamation 5576

Delivered on 21 November 1986.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Family life and the life of freedom are interdependent. In the arena of the family, children learn the most important lessons they will ever receive about their inherent dignity as individuals. They learn as well about the social and religious traditions that unite generation to generation, and they begin to acquire the values for which their ancestors sacrificed so much for freedom.
The centrality of the family is acknowledged even by those forces that would weaken or destroy it. Totalitarian societies see in the family a natural enemy, a bulwark of basic loyalties and inherited ideals that places allegiance in relationships that precede the claims of the state. Corrosive influences such as illegal drugs and pornography seek to substitute for the permanent bonds of family life a transient and ultimately false sense of happiness and fulfillment. Against these forces the family can often seem helpless and ineffective, but experience shows that it is in being tested that the strength of the family finally reveals itself. After all, the family has been with us from the dawn of human history, and there is no reason to believe that it will not endure.
National Family Week affords all Americans the opportunity to frankly face and assess the quality of family life in our Nation and to reflect on what each of us can do as a father, daughter, mother, son, or grandparent-as a member of a family-to strengthen this divine institution. Better yet, let us undertake this reflection as families and as a family of free people. As Chesterton said, "The family is the test of freedom." Let us make this another test America refuses to fail.
The Congress, by Public Law 99-94, has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of "National Family Week."
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of November 23, 1986, as National Family Week. I invite the Governors of the several States, the chief officials of local governments, and all Americans to celebrate this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities. Taking note that this observance coincides with the celebration of Thanksgiving, I ask that all Americans give thanks to God on that day for the blessings of family life in our Nation and for His continued favor on our people.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-first day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh.

# Proclamation 5578

Delivered on 24 November 1986.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
America is the land of opportunity. But few Americans stop to think that among our greatest opportunities is a longer life span than previous generations ever would have dreamed possible.
Americans are living longer, and their lives are more productive than ever before. The number of people 65 years old or older continues to grow rapidly, and there has been an unprecedented increase in persons 85 or older. With this blessing comes the reality that advancing age can bring increased frailty and disability. Some 5.2 million people have disabilities that leave them in need of help with such daily tasks as dressing, bathing, and food preparation.
The prime source of such care for these people is their families. These loving family caregivers provide 80 to 90 percent of the medical care, household maintenance, transportation, and shopping needs of older persons. Too little recognition is given in our society to those who perform such a labor of familial love. Anyone who has personally cared for a loved one or who has witnessed such care knows that, however gratefully received, the effort is often physically and emotionally challenging.
For these reasons, it is important that all Americans have a greater awareness of and support for the vital role of family caregivers. I also ask individual Americans to think about the older people in their neighborhoods, to lend a hand when the opportunity presents itself, and to offer a friendly smile of greeting to older people. This is a wonderful way to repay the lifetime of care, kindness, and assistance that older people have already given others. It is also a fine way to discover afresh that older Americans, despite the disabilities they might have, can give everyone a great deal of love, wisdom, and friendship in return.
The Congress, by Public Law 99-477, has designated the week beginning November 24, 1986, as "National Family Caregivers Week" and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning November 24, 1986, as National Family Caregivers Week. I call upon the American people, State and local governments, communities, neighbors, and other interested persons to observe this occasion with appropriate activities and ceremonies.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh.

# Proclamation 5581

Delivered on 2 December 1986.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Epidermolysis bullosa is a group of hereditary, blistering disorders that involves the skin and mucous membranes, especially mucous membranes of the mouth, eye, and gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms of the disease can resemble severe burns and can be very painful and debilitating. The disease can lead to scarring, malnutrition, anemia, and even premature death.
As many as 50,000 Americans, most of them children, are affected by epidermolysis bullosa. The disease not only disables people physically and emotionally, it also places a severe financial burden on their families.
Basic research is just beginning to reveal the underlying causes of epidermolysis bullosa. Recent developments in biology, biochemistry, pathology, immunology, and genetics are all being employed to study the disease. The main objectives are to understand the basic mechanisms that lead to this distressing disorder and to develop therapies directed at correcting these effects.
The Federal government and private volunteer organizations have developed a strong and enduring partnership committed to research on epidermolysis bullosa. I am confident that this concerted effort will ultimately uncover the cause and cure for this devastating disease.
The Congress, by Public Law 99-459, has designated the week beginning December 1 through December 7, 1986, as "National Epidermolysis Bullosa Awareness Week" and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning December 1 through December 7, 1986, as National Epidermolysis Bullosa Awareness Week. I call upon all Americans to participate in activities designed to heighten awareness of the plight of epidermolysis bullosa sufferers.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh.

# Proclamation 5573

Delivered on 18 November 1986.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Education is a lifelong process. Local support for education helps to promote programs for learners of all ages, backgrounds, and needs and encourages full use of school facilities. As each community draws upon its own resources, new opportunities are created, helping many individuals achieve their goals and aspirations. These are the opportunities that have always sustained the freedoms and responsibilities so important to all Americans.
Public education is a community enterprise, and everyone in the community has a stake in the education of adults as well as children. Local citizen involvement is critical in deciding how the financial and educational resources of the community should be used. Many communities are making valuable efforts to promote the use of community resources in schools and colleges, citizen involvement in educational decisionmaking, the use of community resources to provide educational opportunities for learners of all ages and educational backgrounds, and interagency cooperation to assure effective use of limited resources.
The Congress, by Public Law 99-405, has designated November 18, 1986, as "National Community Education Day" and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of the day.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, November 18, 1986, as National Community Education Day. I invite State and local officials, educators, parents, students, and all Americans to participate in activities that recognize and show appreciation for what community resources are doing for education.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh.

# Proclamation 5577

Delivered on 24 November 1986.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
The Americans we know as American Indians and Native Americans were the first explorers and settlers of the areas that now make up the United States. Mountain and river, lake and valley, State and county, trail and town across the land bear Indian names; they are lasting reminders of the presence and the significance of American Indians not just in our geography but throughout the whole of American history.
Many of the foods we eat and the medicines and remedies we use were introduced by Indians, and more than one highway follows an Indian trail. Indians make contributions in every area of endeavor and American life, and our literature and all our arts draw upon Indian themes and wisdom. Countless American Indians have served in our Armed Forces and have fought valiantly for our country. All Americans are grateful for these lasting contributions.
We look to the future with the expectation of even stronger tribal governments and lessened Federal control over tribal government affairs. We look to a future of development of economic independence and self-sufficiency, and an enhanced government-to-government relationship that will allow greater Indian control of Indian resources.
During the Thanksgiving season, generations of Americans have been reminded of the early friendship of the Pilgrims and American Indians. We give thanks to God for the friendship, cooperation, and brotherhood between American Indians and other Americans, as we thank Him for all the many blessings He bestows on us. We thank Him for all that American Indians and Native Americans have meant and continue to mean to American life.
The Congress, by Public Law 99-471, has designated the week of November 23 through November 30, 1986, as "American Indian Week" and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this week.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning November 23 through November 30, 1986, as American Indian Week, and I request all Americans to observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh.

# Proclamation 5579

Delivered on 26 November 1986.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
American agriculture is the most productive in the world. Our Nation's consumers have the broadest selection of nutritious and healthful food in the world, and we purchase our food for only around 15 percent of after-tax income. Because we are most grateful for this abundance and we share it gladly with other lands, we lead in providing food aid programs around the world. In addition, we are a huge commercial exporter and dependable supplier of food and fiber.
Our Nation and the world owe many thanks for this bounty to American farmers, whose dedication, enterprise, hard work, and good management are models of modern productivity. One American farm worker supplies food and fiber for 75 people, 60 here in the United States and 15 overseas.
We also owe thanks to our farmers' partners in our agricultural system-the rural townspeople and the city workers who maintain a pipeline of production supplies to farms. We are grateful as well to the truckers, shippers, processors, warehousers, retailers, and others in our chain of marketing distributors.
Each year at Thanksgiving time, our Nation pauses for Farm-City Week activities to recognize the enterprise that makes this bountiful agricultural harvest possible through the blessings of our Creator.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, 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 the week of November 21 through November 27, 1986, as National Farm-City Week. I call upon all Americans, in rural areas and in cities alike, to join in recognizing the accomplishments of our productive farmers and of our urban residents cooperating to create abundance, wealth, and strength for the Nation.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-sixth day of November, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh.

# Proclamation 5580

Delivered on 2 December 1986.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Aplastic anemia is a potentially fatal disease that results from the bone marrow ceasing to produce formal elements of the blood-the red blood cells, the white blood cells, and the platelets. The disease is responsible for the deaths of 2,000 Americans each year. One-half of the eases of aplastic anemia result from unknown causes. The other half are the result of certain drugs such as anti-inflammatory drugs or anticonvulsant drugs, or chemicals such as benzene or arsenic, or radiation. Aplastic anemia also is a complication of certain anticancer drugs.
Until recently, the onset of aplastic anemia led inexorably to death. Now, however, more and more patients survive the disease. New drug treatments and bone marrow transplantation in certain cases have led to this improving picture.
The hope for the future is research. The Federal government supports a national program of research into the causes, prevention, and treatment of aplastic anemia under the auspices of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. The scientists in that Institute and in other research laboratories across the country are working to bring to light the hidden secrets of this disease.
In order to focus public attention on and increase awareness of aplastic anemia and other bone marrow diseases, the Congress, by Public Law 99-454, has designated the week of December 1 through December 7, 1986, as "National Aplastic Anemia Awareness Week" and authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event.
Now, Therefore, I, Ronald Reagan, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week of December 1 through December 7, 1986, as National Aplastic Anemia Awareness Week. I invite all Americans to join in appropriate activities to assure a better understanding of this rare but serious disease.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this second day of December, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eleventh.

# Progress in North Carolina

Delivered on the floor of the United States House of Representatives on November 30, 2023
Mr. Speaker, I am proud to represent Mecklenburg and Gaston Counties and just want to report back on some bipartisan progress we have had lately.
We have a huge problem with fentanyl across the State, as we do across the country, but we have new funding both to prevent overdoses and to crack down on the organized crime that is trafficking fentanyl into our communities.
We also got bipartisan support to close the weather radar gap which exists in Charlotte. We have the largest weather radar gap in the country. We are working on new technology to make sure we have more accurate forecasts to keep people safe.
We are also working on the Junk Fee Prevention Act to save your family money and prevent all of those fees that attach as we make purchases online. It is a solid bipartisan start with more work to do. I will keep you posted.

​Chamier. — Henry Chamier, Esq., Governor of Madras, was survived by two younger sons, who have become distinguished military officers:— (1.) Francis Edward Archibald Chamier was born on 13th May 1833, and became an Ensign in the Bengal Native Infantry on 20th February 1850; he became a Lieutenant on 8th April 1857. He served with credit in the suppression of the Indian Mutiny, and attracted the notice of the General, Sir James Outram, who wrote to him from Lucknow, 2nd April 1858:—
“May God prosper you, my dear friend, in the career on which you are about to enter; and if you seek this blessing, be assured it will not be withheld Vou have abilities above common. You have a brave heart and a kind one. You are steady and high principled. You cannot fail to succeed; and of your success none will be more delighted to hear than myself, by whose side you have so often stood in the front of battle.”
For his services at the defence, siege, and capture of Lucknow, he was mentioned in the despatches of 17th February and 25th May 1S58, and 31st January 1859. He received a medal with two clasps, and in 1862 was promoted to a Captaincy in the Bengal Staff Corps, and to the brevet-rank of Major, and 1870 to the brevet-rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. On 20th February 1876, he became a substantive Lieutenant-Colonel, and is now Colonel Chamier, with brevet-rank dated 20th February 1881.
​(2.) Stephen Henry Edward Chamier was born on 17th August 1834. He joined the Madras Artillery on 11th June 1853, and became Lieutenant on 27th April 1858. Like his brothers, his services were in the suppression of the Indian Mutiny. He was present at the actions of Nusrutpore, Chanda, Ummeerpore, Badshagunge, Sultanpore, and Dhowrara, siege and capture of Lucknow, relief of Azinghur, actions of Munnihar, Tonse Bridge, Nughal, Munnuhar, Shropore Ghaut, Jugdespore, Dullespore, Metahi, Chowbeypore, engagements at Cawnpore, and defeat of Gwalior Contingent. He was twice mentioned in the despatches, and received a medal with a clasp. He was promoted to be Captain in the Royal Artillery with the brevet-rank of Major in 1864. He was Major of Artillery in 1872, and a brevet Lieutenant-Colonel in 1874; Lieutenant-Colonel of Artillery in 1876, and a Brevet-Colonel in 1879; Colonel of Artillery on 21st May 1884. He was promoted to be Major-General on 14th March 1885. He was Deputy Inspector-General of Ordnance at Madras from 18th September 1878 to 10th September 1880, and Superintendent of the Gun Carriage Manufactory at Madras from 20th September 1880 to 20th September 1881. Major-General Chamier is now Inspector-General of Ordnance at Madras, an appointment which he received on 20th September 1881.

​Rev. John Hudel was pastor of Les Grecs in London, and the eldest son of a Huguenot; “Udel” was the true spelling. The senior Jean Udel of Niort, was a Protestant student of Theology at the time of the Revocation, and was intimidated into a formal abjuration. He married, in 1686, Madelaine de Camus, and settled at Bazoges-en-Pareds, to be near his father-in-law, René de Camus, who, however, died soon after from the effects of a missionary visit of the dragoons. Udel soon repented his recantation, and became so zealous a Protestant that he was shut up in the Bastile in 1691, and was removed from prison to prison for the next quarter of a century. After the death of Louis XIV., he obtained his liberty, and spent some time in a fruitless attempt to rescue his three daughters from a convent. Of two sons, the eldest had succeeded in reaching England; he was the pastor named above; his father was permitted to join him in 1731.
