                As a mark of respect for Antonin Scalia, Associate 
                Justice of the United States, I hereby order, by the 
                authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of

                title 4, United States Code, that the flag of the

                House and on all public buildings and grounds, at all 
                military posts and naval stations, and on all naval 
                vessels of the Federal Government in the District of 
                Columbia and throughout the United States and its 
                Territories and possessions until sunset, on the day of 
                interment. I also direct that the flag shall be flown 
                at half-staff for the same period at all United States 
                embassies, legations, consular offices, and other
