Executive Order 8754—Exemption of Frederick A. Sterling From Compulsory Retirement for Age

Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that Frederick A. Sterling, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Sweden, who, during the month of August, 1941, will reach the retirement age prescribed for automatic separation from the service, applicable to him, be exempted from compulsory retirement for age for such time as may be deemed necessary, not in excess of five years from August 31, 1941:

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 Frederick A. Sterling from compulsory retirement for age for such time as may be deemed necessary, not in excess of five years from August 31, 1941.
