                Proclamation 6907 of July 1, 1996

                
Declaration of a State of Emergency and Release 
                of Feed Grain From the Disaster Reserve

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                WHEREAS, an extended drought and other natural 
                disasters in feed grain-producing areas of the United 
                States have caused significant reductions in feed grain 
                supplies and severe hardship to livestock producers;

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, WILLIAM J. CLINTON, President of the 
                United States of America, acting under the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, including sections 201 and 301 of the 
                National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) and 
                section 813 of the Agricultural Act of 1970 (7 U.S.C. 
                1427a) (the ``Act''), do hereby find and proclaim that 
                the extended drought in the Southwest and other natural 
                disasters in other feed grain areas of the United 
                States have resulted in a state of emergency and that 
                the state of emergency warrants the release of the 
                reserve established pursuant to section 813(a) of the 
                Act (7 U.S.C. 1427a(a)). Accordingly, I hereby declare 
                that such amounts of the reserve as determined 
                necessary by the Secretary of Agriculture (``the 
                Secretary'') should be disposed of by the Secretary as 
                authorized by the Act.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                first day of July, 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.)
