A Proclamation

As a mark of respect for the memory of James Strom
Thurmond, the longest serving member and former
President pro tempore of the United States Senate, I
hereby order, by the authority vested in me as
President of the United States by the Constitution and
the laws of the United States of America, that on the
day of his interment, the flag of the United States
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
period at all United States embassies, legations,
consular offices, and other facilities abroad,
including all military facilities and naval vessels and
stations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
thirtieth day of June, in the year of our Lord two
thousand three, and of the Independence of the United
States of America the two hundred and twenty-seventh.
