Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that Edward B. Russ, Chief of the Stenographic Section, Department of State, who was exempted from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending February 28, 1939, by Executive Order No. 7791 of January 13, 1938, be further exempted from such compulsory retirement 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 further exempt the said Edward B. Russ from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending February 29, 1940.
