Executive Order 11824—Exemption of Whitney Gillilland From Mandatory Retirement

December 28, 1974

Whitney Gillilland, a member of the Civil Aeronautics Board, during the month of January, 1974, became subject to mandatory retirement for age under the provisions of section 8335 of title 5 of the United States Code unless exempted therefrom by Executive Order. Mr. Gillilland was exempted through December 31, 1974, by Executive Order No. 11756 and has continued to serve on the Civil Aeronautics Board during 1974.

In my judgment, the public interest requires that Mr. Gillilland continue to be exempted from such mandatory retirement.

Now, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me by subsection (c) of section 8335 of title 5 of the United States Code, I hereby exempt Whitney Gillilland from mandatory retirement for age until June 30, 1975.

Note: The Executive order was not issued in the form of a White House press release.
