Proclamation 2892—Termination of Proclamation No. 2722 of March 27, 1947, Entitled "Copyright Extension: France"

May 26, 1950


By the President of the United States of America

A Proclamation

Whereas, under the authority of the act of Congress approved September 25, 1941, 55 Stat. 732, the provisions of which have been included in section 9 of title 17 of the United States Code, as codified and enacted into positive law by the act of Congress approved July 30, 1947, 61 Stat. 652, I issued Proclamation No. 2722 of March 27, 1947 (61 Stat. 1057), which proclaimed an extension of time for compliance with the conditions and formalities prescribed by the copyright laws of the United States of America by citizens of France who had been unable to comply with such conditions and formalities because of the disruption or suspension of the facilities essential to such compliance; and

Whereas the said section 9 of title 17 of the United States Code authorizes the President to terminate any such proclamation at any time; and

Whereas the said Proclamation No. 2722 provides that the extension of time granted thereby shall continue in effect until such proclamation is suspended or terminated by the President; and

Whereas it appears that the citizens of France will have had ample time to comply with the conditions and formalities prescribed by the copyright laws of the United States of America by December 29, 1950, and that termination of the proclamation as of that date would be in the interest of the United States of America:

Now, Therefore, I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America, under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the aforesaid section 9 of title 17 of the United States Code, do hereby proclaim that the aforesaid Proclamation No. 2722 of March 27, 1947, and the extension of time granted thereby, shall terminate on December 29, 1950.

In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States of America to be affixed.

Done at the City of Washington this 26th day of May in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and fifty and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and seventy-fourth.

Signature of Harry S. Truman
