WHEREAS, I have been advised that an ice storm of major proportion has occurred in the State of Missouri causing conditions of distress or hazard to public safety and to agriculture emergencies;

WHEREAS, such ice and freezing conditions are recognized to be beyond the capabilities of local and other established agencies necessitating, therefore, the provisions of emergency relief to the citizenry of the distressed area;

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the State of Missouri, in the City of Jefferson, on this 19th day of March, 1984.
