Executive Order 8778—Exemption of Percy Nicholls From Compulsory Retirement for Age

Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that Percy Nicholls, heat transmission engineer, Bureau of Mines, Department of the Interior, who was exempted from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year by Executive Order No. 8401 of May 7, 1940, 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, see. 715a), I hereby further exempt the said Percy Nicholls from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending June 30, 1942.
