The new communist masters then ordered the illegal deportation, murder, and imprisonment of tens of thousands of Baltic peoples whose only "crime" was to resist foreign tyranny and to defend their liberties and freedoms. Oppression and persecution continue to this day, but despite this long dark night of injustice, the brave men and women of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have has never abandoned the battle for their national independence and god-given rights. Although the full measure of their struggle and sacrifice is screened by the oppression and censorship under which they live, the friends and families of the Baltic peoples all over the world are aware of their heroic endeavors and aspirations. Their peaceful demands for their rights and self-respect command the admiration of everyone who loves and honors freedom. All the people of the United State of America share the just aspirations of the Baltic nations for national independence, and we uphold their right to determine their own national destiny free of foreign domination. The United States has never recognized the forceable incorporation of the Baltic States into the Soviet Union, and it will not do so in the future. 296, has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation for the observance of June 14, 1984 as "Baltic Freedom Day." NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 14, 1984 as Baltic Freedom Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate remembrances and ceremonies and to reaffirm their commitment to the principles of liberty and freedom for all oppressed people. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.

ROBERTS SUBJECT: Enrolled Resolution S.J. Res. 285 Harmon Killebrew Day and Accompanying Draft Proclamation We have been asked for our comments as soon as possible on the enrolled resolution designating yesterday "Harmon Killebrew Day," and the draft proclamation called for by the resolution. Killebrew, who began his career with the Washington Senators, will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this August. It strikes me as unusual to single out Killebrew for such special treatment, but Congress passed the resolution by voice vote and of course we should sign it. OMB recommends approval. The draft proclamation, approved by OMB, reviews Killebrew's accomplishments, recognizes "the other baseball immortals enshrined in Cooperstown," and quotes some general musings from Justice Blackmun on baseball. The quotation of Blackmun is appropriate. Whatever his virtues as a jurist, Blackmun is one of the greatest fans of the game. I have no objection to the draft proclamation.

Res. 285 - Harmon Killebrew Day Sponsor - Sen. McClure (R) Idaho and 28 others Last Day for Action Recommend early action, since the designated day is today. Purpose Designates June 13, 1984, as "Harmon Killebrew Day." Agency Recommendations Office of Management and Budget Approval Discussion S.J. Res. 285, which passed both Houses by voice vote, designates June 13, 1984, as "Harmon Killebrew Day," and requests the President to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. The resolution notes that Harmon Killebrew was named to Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame on January 10, 1984, and that next to Babe Ruth, Harmon Killebrew is the most prolific home run hitter in American League history. Mr. Killebrew played Major League baseball for more than 17 full seasons, leading the American League in home runs for 7 seasons and amassing 573 home runs. Senator McClure (who sponsored S.J. Res. 285) and Harmon Killebrew both grew up in Payette, Idaho. Senator McClure, in his introductory remarks on S.J. Res. 285, stated that Harmon Killebrew, since his retirement, has been very active in several worthy causes, the most prominent being the Danny Thompson Leukemia Foundation. Danny Thompson, a former teammate of Harmon Killebrew, was a second baseman for the Minnesota Twins who died of leukemia at the age of 26. In the few years since Harmon Killebrew and former Congressman Ralph Harding started the Foundation, it has raised over $400,000 for leukemia research. The money is raised primarily through the Danny 2 Thompson Memorial golf tournament held annually in Sun Vally, Idaho. Members of both the Senate and the House participate in this event.

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT THE UNITED STATE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET WASHINGTON, D.C. 20503 June 13, 1984 MEMORANDUM FOR: THE PRESIDENT FROM: MICHAEL J. HOROWITZ COUNSEL TO THE DIRECTOR MU SUBJECT: HARMON KILLEBREW DAY Pursuant to Senate Joint Resolution 285, the President is authorized and requested to issue a proclamation which would designate June 13, 1984 as "Harmon Killebrew Day." The proposed proclamation was prepared by this office. The proposed proclamation has the approval of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Enclosure HARMON KILLEBREW DAY BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION On August 12, 1984, Harmon Killebrew will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. As a seventeen year old, Harmon Killebrew signed with the late Washington Senators and played with that franchise in the Nation's Capital and after its transfer to Minnesota. In an illustrious career, he hit 573 home runs, second only to Babe Ruth among all players in American League history. Harmon Killebrew was a member of the American League All-Star team on eleven occasions, and in 1969, he hit 49 home runs and batted in 140 runs and was named the American League's Most Valuable Player. In honoring Harmon Killebrew, we recognize the accomplishments of the other baseball immortals enshrined in Cooperstown and the many contributions the sport has made to American culture and myth. Harmon Killebrew is the latest in a lengthy list of players who, in the words of Justice Harry Blackmun of the United States Supreme Court, "have sparked the diamond and its environs and that have provided tinder for recaptured thrills, for remininscence and comparisons, and for conversation and anticipation and all other happenings, habits, and superstitions about and around baseball that have made it the 'national pastime' or, depending upon the point of view, 'the great American tragedy. The Congress, by Senate Joint Resolution 285, has designated requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 13, 1984, as Harmon Killebrew Day, and I call upon the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and eighth.
