What a Proclamation Is
A proclamation speaks to the country rather than to the government. Most mark a day or an occasion; some carry real legal effect, and the tariff proclamations are the ones that do.
These are United States government works and are not under copyright. This page quotes the opening rather than reproducing the document, because an index is not a mirror, and the whole of it is one click away.
