97 STAT. 1574 PROCLAMATION 5050—APR. 15, 1983 lation and government intervention, which in the past have stifled local de- cision-making, thwarted Indian control of Indian resources, and promoted dependence rather than self-sufficiency. In promoting effective self-government and a more favorable environment for the development of healthy reservation economies, we will take a flexi- ble approach which recognizes the diversity among tribes and the right of each tribe to set its own priorities and goals. The tribes, not the Federal government, will chart the path of their own development. In support of this policy, the Federal government will faithfully fulfill its responsibility for the physical and financial resources it holds in trust for the tribes and their members. In recognition of the unique status and contribution of the American Indian peoples to our Nation, the Congress of the United States, by House Joint 96 Stat. 2328. Resolution 459 (P.L. 97-445), has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation designating May 13, 1983 as "American Indian Day." NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 13, 1983 as American Indian Day. I invite the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and deeds and to reaffirm their dedication to the ideals which our first Americans subscribe. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 14th day of April, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-three, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and sev- enth. RONALD REAGAN Proclamation 5050 of April 15, 1983 Temporary Duty Increase and Tariff-Rate Quota on the Im- portation Into the United States of Certain Heavyweight Mo- torcycles By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation 1. Pursuant to section 201(d)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 (the Trade Act) (19 U.S.C. 2251(d)(1)), as amended, the United States International Trade Com- mission (USITC) on February 1, 1983, reported to the President the results of its Investigation No. TA-201-47 under section 201(b) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2251(b)). The USITC determined that motorcycles having engines with total piston displacement over 700 cubic centimeters, provided for in item 692.50 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States (TSUS) (19 U.S.C. 1202), are being imported into the United States in such increased quanti- ties as to be a substantial cause of the threat of serious injury to the do- mestic industry producing articles like or directly competitive with the im- ported articles. The USITC recommended the imposition of additional ad valorem duties on imports of such motorcycles of: 45 percent in the first year, 35 percent in the second year, 20 percent in the third year, 15 percent in the fourth year, and 10 percent in the fifth year. 2. On April 1, 1983, pursuant to section 202(b)(1) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2252(b)(1)), and after taking into account the considerations specified in section 202(c) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 2252(c)), I determined to impose the additional duties recommended by the USITC, but with tariff-rate
