                A Proclamation

                As a mark of respect for the memory of Admiral Arleigh 
                Burke, one of our Nation's foremost naval heroes, I 
                hereby order, by the authority vested in me as 
                President of the United States of America by section 
                175 of title 36 of the United States Code, that the 
                flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff 
                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 interment. 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 
                second day of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen 
                hundred and ninety-six, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and twentieth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)
