Proclamation. 
Public Law 89-7 
JOINT RESOLUTION 
To provide for Bennett Place commemoration. 
Whereas a profound spirit of unity among Americans underlies this 
Nation's greatness; and 
Whereas a striking and memorable example of that spirit of unity 
pervaded the negotiations between General William T. Sherman 
and General Joseph E. Johnston when those opposing commanders 
in their search for peace met at the Bennett House, near the city of 
Durham, North Carolina, in April of 1865; and 
Wliereas through the diligent and unselfish labors of the Bennett Place 
Memorial Commission over long years, the Bennett House, together 
with its grounds and appurtenant buildings, has been carefully 
preserved and now comprises an official State historic site, admin-
istered by the State of North Carolina, so that the Bennett Place 
today stands as a permanent symbol of the Nation's unity; and 
Whereas the people of North Carolina, imbued with the same sense of 
unity and concord that characterized the Johnston-Sherman Ben-
nett Place conferences a century ago, and wishing to commemorate 
the centennial of those conferences, will hold appropriate ceremonies 
at the Bennett Place, near the city of Durham, on April 25, 1965; 
and 
Whereas the Governor of the State of North Carolina, the city of Dur-
ham, and Bennett Place Memorial Commission have invited the 
people of the United States to attend those ceremonies: Therefore 
be it 
Resolved hy the Senate and House of Representatives 
of the United 
States of Atnerica in Congress assembled^ That the President of the 
United States is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation, on
