                Proclamation 6848 of November 4, 1995

                
Death of Yitzhak Rabin

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                 Today a senseless act of violence has robbed the 
                United States of a close friend and robbed the world of 
                a statesman and courageous champion of peace.

                 Yitzhak Rabin was a brave man who defended his country 
                for half a century and whose vision and tenacity 
                brought the world closer to peace.

                 He was a man of hope, a man of wisdom, a man who 
                sought to improve the lives of all those he touched.

                 The peace process that he began will be his legacy. 
                The people of the United States and the peace-loving 
                people of the world are determined that the peace 
                process will go forward.

                 As a mark of respect for the memory of Yitzhak Rabin 
                and America's support for peace in the Middle East, I 
                hereby order 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 his 
                interment. I also direct that the flag shall be flown 
                at half-staff for the same length of time 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 
                fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord 
                nineteen hundred and ninety-five, and of the 
                Independence of the United States of America the two 
                hundred and twentieth.

                    (Presidential Sig.)
