As a mark of respect for the memory of Michael J.

Senate and Ambassador of the United States to Japan, I
hereby order, by the authority vested in me as
President of the United States by the Constitution and

shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and
upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military
posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of
the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and
throughout the United States and its Territories and
possessions until sunset on such day. I also direct
that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same
lengths of time at all United States embassies,
legations, consular offices, and other facilities

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
