The National Archives catalog describes this item as "Proclamation No. 2065 - Repeal of the 18th Amendment (Speech File 668) of December 5, 1933," held in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Master Speech Files at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library (local identifier msf00688).

It recites the 72d Congress's joint resolution proposing the amendment and its Section 1, which repeals the eighteenth article.

It is a draft in a speech file, not the signed proclamation as published. The digital object has seven pages; the copy stored here is page 2, the proclamation text, because page 1 is a cover sheet.
