Executive Order 5881—Further Temporary Exemption of Certain 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 and who were temporarily exempted from the provisions of that section and continued in the service until July 10, 1932, by Executive order dated June 30, 1932 (No. 5874), are hereby further temporarily exempted from the provisions of that section and continued in the service until August 1, 1932:

These persons hold positions which the public interest requires be continuously filled, and the additional 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.
