1. All flags at half-staff...

In the memory of Senator Edward M. Kennedy, all flags of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at all public buildings until sunset on August 30, 2009, the day of his interment.

Kennedy died on Tuesday after a year long battle with malignant glioma, the most common type of brain cancer among adults. Although he had the most up-to-date treatments, including surgery at Duke University Medical Center, chemotherapy and radiation, he was not able to survive the disease.

Senator Kennedy's brain tumor was diagnosed in May 2008 after he had a seizure, a frequent symptom of brain cancer.
