I also direct the ap propriate agencies of the Federal Gov ernment to assist in this crusade against the toll of life and property resulting rom fires.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have here unto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.
DONE at the City of Washington this 21st day of August in the year of our
