VETERANS DAY, 1974
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
On this Veterans Day, we pay tribute to those men
and women whose service in our Armed Forces has contributed
so profoundly to mankind's age-old quest for peace.
From Valley Forge to Vietnam, on battlefields around
the globe, in World War I, World War II, and the Korean
conflict, Americans have selflessly answered the call to
arms whenever our freedoms and the freedoms of others
have been threatened by tyranny and aggression.
Our Veterans have earned our deep and lasting gratitude
for their valor, their patriotism, and their willingness to
sacrifice so that others might remain free.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the
United States of America, do hereby call on all Americans
to join in observing Monday, October 28, 1974, as Veterans
Day. I urge both public ceremony and private contemplation
in recognition of the precious gifts of freedom and security
that are ours because those we honor have stood in our
defense.
Let us give special consideration on that day to those
who have died in our Nation's wars and those who have been
disabled. Let this be a day of remembrance for those veterans
who are in our hospitals, a day on which our appreciation is
expressed tangibly by our visits and our attention.
Further, let this be a day on which all Americans take
special cognizance of the needs of those young veterans who
are currently readjusting to civilian life. Let us give
them personal help and encouragement.
I direct the appropriate officials of Government to
arrange for the display of the flag of the United States
on this day. I request officials of Federal, State and
local governments to support its observance and I urge
schools, churches, unions, civic and patriotic organi-
zations to participate in appropriate public ceremonies
throughout the Nation.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
seventh 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.

NATIONAL FARM-CITY WEEK, 1974
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
The two hundred years which have passed since America's
birth has witnessed a dramatic change in our society. From
a primarily rural nation, we have grown to a country of great
cities and towns, and farmers now make up less than five
percent of our national population.
As we have learned from our recent food shortages,
however, the cities have not lost their fundamental depen-
dence upon the farms for the basics in life. Nor are our
farms any less dependent upon our urban centers for their
products and services.
There is, indeed, a continuing partnership, often
recognized but little honored. It is that partnership we
must build upon to achieve a new abundance and prosperity
in the future.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the
United States of America, do hereby designate the period
November 22 through November 28, 1974 as National Farm-City
Week.
I invite our civic and business groups, our agricultural
organizations, our service clubs, our labor unions, our schools
and other interested groups to participate in this observance.
I request the United States Department of Agriculture, our
land-grant educational institutions, and all appropriate or-
ganizations and Government officials to mark the significance
of National Farm-City Week with special events and activities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
seventh 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.

EXECUTIVE ORDER
PERMITTING COOPERATIVE EDUCATION STUDENTS TO BE
GIVEN CAREER OR CAREER-CONDITIONAL APPOINTMENTS
By virtue of the authority vested in me by sections
1301 and 3301 of title 5 of the United States Code, and
as President of the United States, it is hereby ordered
as follows:
Section 1. As used in this order, "cooperative
education" describes a program which provides for a
formally arranged schedule of periods of attendance at
an institution of higher learning combined with periods
of study-related work in a Federal agency under a
Schedule B appointment. Together, the periods of work
and study satisfy requirements for a bachelor's degree
and provide experience necessary for a career or career-
conditional appointment to an administrative, professional,
or technical position in the Federal Government upon the
student's graduation.
Sec. 2. Under this order, the appointment of a
cooperative education student under Schedule B of the
civil service rules may be converted noncompetitively to
a career-conditional or career appointment if the student:
(1) has completed within the preceding 90 days a
cooperative education program that meets the provisions
of this order;
(2) has satisfied all requirements leading to the
award of a bachelor's degree by the college or university
in which the student completed his or her cooperative
education curriculum;
(3) is recommended for such appointment by the
employing agency; and,
(4) satisfies all other applicable requirements
and conditions prescribed by the Civil Service Commission
for career and career-conditional employment.
Sec. 3. The Civil Service Commission shall prescribe
such regulations as may be necessary to carry out the
provisions of this order and to provide for the coordination
of the planning, implementation, and evaluation of employ-
ment of cooperative education students throughout the
more
2
Government. The regulations shall provide for the periodic
evaluation of the work of each cooperative education student
and shall require that continuation in the program be
dependent upon a finding of satisfactory performance.
Sec. 4. Executive Order No. 11202 of March 5, 1965,
is hereby revoked.
Sec. 5. This order shall become effective immediately.
