AGENCY: Governor (2021- : Cox)

SERIES: 17582
TITLE: Proclamations and declarations
DATES: 1964-1976.
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by date.

DESCRIPTION: This series contains proclamations that were accepted by Governor Rampton as well as those that he declined. Proclamations often expressed the Governor's inclination to honor specific aspects of Utah's economy, culture, or resources. Proclamations signed by Rampton include those that honor specific sectors of the population or labor force, Utah's cultural and religious life and heritage, Utah's natural resources, and specific individuals who had enriched the lives of Utahns. In 1966, the Governor's office made it a formal policy to reject proclamations advanced by people and/or organizations outside of Utah. For Rampton to consider proclamations proposed by non-Utahns, a local sponsor in Utah needed to be found. Some proclamations were considered declarations; the distinction that Rampton's office placed between a proclamation and a declaration is not known.
