Executive Order 5874—Temporary Exemption of Persons from Compulsory Retirement for Age in Order to Afford Time for Filling Vacancies

By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 204 of Part II of the act entitled "AN ACT Making appropriations for the Legislative Branch of the Government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1933, and for other purposes," approved June 30, 1932, the following-named persons who have reached the retirement age prescribed for automatic separation from the service, are hereby temporarily exempted from the provisions of that section and continued in the service until July 10, 1932.

These persons hold positions which the public interest requires be continuously filled so that the temporary exemptions herein granted are for such period only as is absolutely necessary to afford time in which to appoint successors to the present incumbents of these positions.
