Executive Order 8555—Exemption of Samuel A. Cottrell From Compulsory Retirement for Age

Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that Samuel A. Cottrell, auditor, Income Tax Unit, Bureau of Internal Revenue, Treasury Department, who was exempted from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year by Executive Order No. 8262 of September 26, 1939, be further exempted from such compulsory retirement for a period of nine months:

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 Samuel A. Cottrell from compulsory retirement for age for a period of nine months ending June 30, 1941.
