Most of them are set by law and the president then declares them annually. Many others are traditional but the pres. has discretion as to when or if. Few get any publicity except within the organization sponsoring the thing. This one is between - The President may issue... see Cornel Law School and thewhitehouse.gov I'm not clear Mr Bush got around to it yet. But the web site is usually late (it's run by FEMA) and the announcement may not get there for a while. Several states, cities, etc. kept it, though. |
