                As a mark of respect for the memory of Edmund Sixtus 
                Muskie, one of our Nation's foremost public servants, I 
                hereby order, by the authority vested in me as

                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 on Saturday, March 30, 1996. I also direct 
                that the flag shall be flown at half-staff on that day 
                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 
                twenty-seventh day of March, 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.)
