TITLE 36—PATRIOTIC AND NATIONAL OBSERVANCES, CEREMONIES,
AND ORGANIZATIONS
§ 136
uals can call the toll-free national poison control hot-
line at 1–800–222–1222 to be connected to one of dozens
of local poison control centers, which are open 24 hours
every day. These centers provide emergency assistance,
offer guidance on poison prevention, and answer ques-
tions concerning potential exposure.
To encourage Americans to learn more about the
dangers of accidental poisonings and to take appro-
priate preventive measures, the Congress, by joint reso-
lution approved September 26, 1961, as amended (75
Stat. 681), has authorized and requested the President
to issue a proclamation designating the third week of
March each year as ‘‘National Poison Prevention
Week.’’
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President
of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim
the third week of March of each year as National Poi-
son Prevention Week. I call upon all Americans to ob-
serve this week by taking actions to protect their fami-
lies from hazardous household materials and from the
misuse of prescription medications.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my
hand this fifteenth day of March, in the year of our
Lord two thousand ten, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and thirty-
fourth.
BARACK OBAMA.
§ 131. National Safe Boating Week
The President is requested to issue each year
a proclamation designating the 7-day period
ending on the last Friday before Memorial Day
as National Safe Boating Week.
