                By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Executive Order 11030 of June 19, 1962, as 
                amended (Preparation, Presentation, Filing, and 
                Publication of Executive Orders and Proclamations), is 
                further amended as follows:

                    (a) in section 1(f), by striking ``inches'' where 
                it appears after the phrase ``approximately 1'' and 
                inserting ``inch'';
                    (b) in section 4, to read as follows:
                    ``Sec. 4. Proclamations calling for the observance 
                of special days or events. Except as may be otherwise 
                provided by law, responsibility for the preparation and 
                presentation of proposed proclamations calling for the 
                observance of special days, or other periods of time, 
                or events shall be assigned by the Director of the 
                Office of Management and Budget to such agencies or 
                offices as the Director may consider appropriate. Such 
                proposed proclamations shall be submitted to the 
                Director, or to an office within the Executive Office 
                of the President designated by the Director, at least 
                sixty days before the date of the specified observance. 
                Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2, the 
                Director or the head of such designated office, as 
                appropriate, shall transmit any approved commemorative 
                proclamations to the President.'';
                    (c) by inserting a new section 5 to read as 
                follows:

                law (``trade proclamations'') shall be prepared by the 
                United States Trade Representative and submitted to the

                disapproved by the Attorney General, it shall not 
                thereafter be presented to the President unless it is

                disapproval.''; and
                    (d) by renumbering current sections 5, 6, and 7 as
