Explanation of This Title This volume of "Title 3--The President" contains a compilation of Presidential documents and a codification of regulations issued by the Executive Office of the President. The 2007 Compilation contains the full text of those documents signed by the President that were required to be published in the Federa! Be\177ister. Signature date rather than publication date is the criterion for inclusion. With each annual volume, the Presidential documents signed in the previous year become the new compilation. Chapter I contains regulations issued by the Executive Office of the President. This section is a true codification like other CFR volumes, in that its contents are organized by subiect or regulatory area and are updated by individual issues of the Federal l\177e\177fister. Presidential documents in this volume may be cited "3 CFR, 2007 Comp." Thus, the preferred abbreviated citation for Proclamation 8099 appearing on page \177 of this book, is "3 CFR, 2007 Comp., p. %" Chapter I entries may be cited "3 CFR." Thus, the preferred abbreviated citation for section \17700.\177, appearing in chapter I of this book, is "3 CFR 100.1." This book is one of the volumes in a series that began with Proclamation 2\1776\177 of March \1779, \177936, and Executive Order 73\1776 of March \1773, \177936, and that has been continued by means of annual compilations and periodic cumulations. The entire Title 3 series, as of January \177, 2008, is encompassed in the volumes listed on page iv. For readers interested in proclamations and Executive orders prior to \177936, there is a two-volume set entitled Proclamations and Executive Orders, Herbert Hoover (March 4, \177929, to March 4, \177933). Codified Presidential documents are published in the Codification of Presidential Proclamations and Executive Orders (April \1773, i945--January 20, \177989). Other public Presidential documents not required to be published in the Federal Register, such as speeches, messages to Congress, and state- ments, can be found in the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents and the Public Papers of tt\177e Presidents series. Each of these Office of the Federal Register publications is available for sale from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. This book was prepared in the Presidential and Legislative Publications Unit under the supervision of Gwendolyn J. Henderson. Michael J. Forcina was Chief Edi- tor. ix
