Executive Order 7809—Amending Paragraph 13, Subdivision III, Schedule A of the Civil Service Rules

By virtue of and pursuant to the authority vested in me by the Civil Service Act (22 Stat. 403), it is ordered that paragraph 13, Subdivision III, Schedule A of the Civil Service Rules, excepting from competitive civil service requirements all persons actually employed in leprosy, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, yellow fever, and psittacosis investigation stations under the Public Health Service, Treasury Department, be, and it is hereby, amended to read as follows:

"13. Public Health Service: All persons actually employed in leprosy, yellow fever, and psittacosis investigation stations."

This amendment removes from the excepted class all positions at Public Health Service investigation stations the incumbents of which are engaged in Rocky Mountain spotted fever work. The incumbents of such positions may acquire an appropriate civil service status in accordance with the provisions of section 6 of Civil Service Rule II, as amended.
