Executive Order 11580--Establishing a seal for the National Credit Union Administration

Source: The provisions of Executive Order 11580 of Jan. 20, 1971, appear at 36 FR 971, 3 CFR, 1971-1975 Comp., p. 537, unless otherwise noted.

WHEREAS the National Credit Union Administration Board has caused to be made, and has recommended that I approve, a seal of office for the National Credit Union Administration, the design of which accompanies and is hereby made a part of this order, and which is described as follows:

A ROOF symbolic of the credit union concept of cooperative protection, shared by the common-bond members of all Federal credit unions since the chartering of the first one in 1934;

A DOOR symbolic both of opportunity and of the protection given members' shares through a newly instituted program of insurance by an agency of the Federal Government;

ALL in white, against a blue background of four sections symbolic of the major advantages of credit union membership: cultivation of thrift, encouragement to save regularly, granting of loans for provident purposes at a reasonable interest rate, and budget and consumer counselling; circled by the title of the National Credit Union Administration.

AND WHEREAS it appears that such a seal is of suitable design and appropriate for adoption as the official seal of the National Credit Union Administration:

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me as President of the United States, I hereby approve such seal as the official seal of the National Credit Union Administration.

[EO 11580 amended by Executive Order 12608 of Sept. 9, 1987, 52 FR 34617, 3 CFR, 1987 Comp., p. 245]

Editorial note: An illustration of the seal, which was attached to and made a part of Executive Order 11580, is printed in 3 CFR, 1971-1975 Comp., p. 537.
