Leif Erickson Day, 1974
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
Nearly one thousand years ago, Leif Erikson and his small crew of
Norse explorers embarked upon a courageous voyage through unknown
seas that led them to the bountiful shores of the New World.
Today most of the world's frontiers have been explored but there are
still personal frontiers that are no less challenging and forbidding than
those faced SO many years ago. As we push forward, let us draw inspira-
tion from the indomitable spirit and undaunting determination of Leif
Erikson. His achievement is a beacon for all men and women of vision
who navigate the rough waters of uncertainty and adversity.
I am honored to comply with the request of the Congress of the United
States, in a joint resolution approved September 2, 1964 (78 Stat. 849),
that the President proclaim October 9 in each year as Leif Erikson Day.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the
United States of America, do hereby designate Wednesday, October 9,
1974, as Leif Erikson Day and I direct the appropriate Government
officials to display the flag of the United States on all Government build-
ings that day.
I also invite the people of the United States to honor the memory of
Leif Erikson on that day by holding appropriate exercises and ceremonies
in suitable places throughout our land.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this third
day of October, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred seventy-four,
and of the Independence of the United States of America the one
hundred ninety-ninth.

The United States has been fortunate in the two hundred years of its
independence to welcome friendly visitors from all over the earth. Many
of those newcomers came to stay and to help make our land the free
and prosperous nation that it is today. Many others visited our shores in
earlier centuries, among them the daring Norse explorer, Leif Erikson,
and, his intrepid crew.
The spirit of adventure and search for new horizons which brought
Leif Erikson to this continent has led succeeding generations of Ameri-
cans to the greatest of accomplishments. In honoring this great Nor-
wegian, we honor all those who came to our land and enriched the history
of the United States.
In a joint resolution approved September 2, 1964 (78 Stat. 849, 36

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the

officials to display the flag of the United States on Government buildings

I also call upon the people of the United States to hold appropriate
ceremonies in honor of the memory of Leif Erikson on that day, and to
take this opportunity to renew their knowledge of the early history of our

In this extraordinary year which holds so much significance for the citizens of the

land SO long ago and prepared the way for the many who followed to settle this proud
nation.
Although we celebrate the 200th year of our nationhood this year, our history
stretches back much further to that Norseman of vision and courage, Leif Erikson. In a
dark and superstitious age, he sailed far beyond the limits anyone else had dared, to
touch our shores and to weave his brave exploit into our historical fabric. He has left
for us all a standard by which to set our sails as we move into a new century of existence.

Dear Mr. Baroody:
I refer to our previous correspondence concerning your nice
gesture of providing me and our Vice President for North American
Division, Mr. B. John Heistein, with the Proclamation of Leif
Erikson Day, signed by the President. Needless to say, it has been
very much admired by our Scandinavian friends and associates.
As you undoubtedly know, 1975 is the Sesquicentennial of
Norwegian Immigration to the United States, and we in SAS are of
course interested in promoting travel to the U. S. in connection
with this event. To achieve this purpose we have enlisted the help
of many friends of our company, and we thought it would be appropriate
if their public offices had this fine citation on display, which has no
commercial undertone but rather serves as an inspiration and reminder
of this great achievement.
It would therefore be greatly appreciated if copies of the
Proclamation could be forwarded in individual envelopes to the
following gentlemen c/o this office:
Dr. William Henrikson
Mr. Harry L. Backelin
Mr. Ralph S. Cohen
I am sure you and the President will appreciate our "Visit
