PROCLAMATION 5071—JUNE 28, 1983 97 STAT. 1595 NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim the week beginning June 19, 1983 as Na- tional Children's Liver Disease Awareness Week. I urge the people of the United States, and educational, philanthropic, scientific, medical and health care organizations and professionals to support appropriate efforts to dis- cover the causes and cures of all types of liver disorders in children and to alleviate the suffering of victims of these disorders. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and seventh. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5071 of June 28, 1983 Import Quotas on Certain Sugars, Sirups, Blends, and Mix- tures By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. The Secretary of Agriculture has advised me that he has reason to be- lieve that certain sugars, blended sirups, and sugars mixed with other ingre- dients, described below, and certain other sugars, sirups and mixtures of sugar or sirup with other ingredients are practically certain to be imported into the United States under such conditions and in such quantities as to render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, the price support operations being conducted by the Department of Agriculture for sugar cane and sugar beets. 2. I agree that there is reason for such belief by the Secretary of Agricul- ture, and therefore I am requesting the United States International Trade Commission to make an immediate investigation with respect to this matter pursuant to section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, as amended [7 U.S.C. 624], and report its findings and recommendations to me as soon as possible. 3. The Secretary of Agriculture has also determined and reported to me with regard to the sugars, blended sirups, and sugars mixed with other in- gredients, described below, that a condition exists which requires emergen- cy treatment and that the import quotas hereinafter proclaimed should be imposed without awaiting the report and recommendations of the United States International Trade Commission. 4. On the basis of the information submitted to me, I find and declare that: (a) The articles described below are practically certain to be imported into the United States under such conditions and in such quantities as to render or tend to render ineffective, or materially interfere with, the price support operations of the Department of Agriculture for sugar cane and sugar beets; (b) The representative period within the meaning of the first proviso to sub- section (b) of section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, as amended [7 U.S.C. 624), for imports of the articles described below is the years 1978-81, during which years there were no imports of the described articles; and
