Executive Order 8421—Exemption of Joseph E. Reardon From Compulsory Retirement for Age

Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that Joseph F. Reardon, master joiner and shipwright, Navy Yard, New York, New York, who, during the current month, 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 Joseph F. Reardon from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending May 31, 1941.
