Le Moniteur of Monday 15 October 1979, in the twenty-third year of the Duvalierist revolution, carrying the press law.
The same issue carries two fiscal items: the deconsecration of 1,679,083.58 gourdes and a supplementary credit of the same amount to the Interior Department, and an authorisation for the Republic to issue further gourde notes. Gazette issues bundle unrelated instruments, and the fiscal items are part of the record.
The press law itself is the legal frame under which Haitian journalism operated in the last years of the Duvalier government. The corpus holds Un siècle de législation sur la presse et la communication 1885-1985, which surveys this period; this is the instrument that survey describes.
