In part: “Two hundred years ago, on September 24, 1789, President George Washington signed into law Senate Bill Number One, known as the Judiciary Act.

Since then, United States marshals and their deputies have participated in many events shaping the development of our federal system of government…NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE BUSH, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim September 24, 1989, as United States Marshals Bicentennial Day. I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities, in recognition of the United States marshals’ important role in defending individual rights and upholding the rule of law.” Bush has signed in ballpoint beside his printed facsimile signature.
