1964 US federal holidays

Federal holidays are paid days off for federal employees. Federal Reserve Banks close too, and most banks follow the Fed's schedule. Before 1971, a holiday falling on Saturday was not moved to Friday. Before the Uniform Monday Holiday Act took effect in 1971, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day and Veterans Day were observed on fixed dates.
