Executive Order 7997—Exemption of Andrew M. Smith From Compulsory Retirement for Age

Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that Andrew M. Smith, Assistant Chief of the Division of Bookkeeping and Warrants, Treasury Department, who, during the month of December, 1938, will reach the retirement age prescribed for automatic separation from the service, applicable to him, be exempted from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year:

Now, Therefore, by virtue of and pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 204 of the act of June 30, 1932, 47 Stat. 382, 404 (U.S.C., title 5, sec. 715a), I hereby exempt the said Andrew M. Smith from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending December 31, 1939.
