This diagram of the flag of the United States was given in Executive Order 10834, by Dwight D. Eisenhower, on August 21, 1959 (see w:List of United States federal executive orders). It appears in the United States Code, title 4, chapter 1 Text of executive order here.

For a better diagram of the flag, see Image:Flag of the United States specification.svg.

The law specifies the lengths in the diagram as follows:

• Hoist (width) of flag: A = 1.0
• Fly (length) of flag: B = 1.9
• Hoist (width) of Union: C = 0.5385 (7/13)
• Fly (length) of Union: D = 0.76
• E = F = 0.054
• G = H = 0.063
• Diameter of star: K = 0.0616
• Width of stripe: L = 0.0769 (1/13)

Presumably E and F are supposed to be 7/130 = 0.0[538461], and G and H are supposed to be 0.76/12 = 0.06[3]....
