Poison Prevention (March 15 - 21, 2015): Proclamation

from the Press Office of WHITEHOUSE dot-gov:
PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION =
Education and awareness about poisons can save lives.  I, Barack Obama,  encourage all people to speak out about the importance of poison prevention and discuss these commonsense steps with their loved ones, coworkers, and neighbors.  Toll-free line is 1-800-222-1222. . .
To encourage Americans to learn more about the dangers of accidental poisonings and to take appropriate preventative measures, the Congress, by joint resolution 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 March 15 through March 21, 2015, as National Poison Prevention Week.  I call upon all Americans to observe this week by taking actions to protect their families from hazardous household materials and misuse of prescription medicines.
