By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 19 of the act of February 23, 1931, 46 Stat. 1207, 1209 (U.S.C., title 22, sec. 12), and section 3 of that act as amended by the act of April 24, 1939, 53 Stat. 583 (U.S.C., title 22, sec. 23c), it is ordered that Executive Order No. 5643 of June 8, 1931, prescribing regulations governing representation and post allowances, be, and it is hereby, amended by changing the first sentence of the antepenultimate paragraph thereof to read as follows:

"A post allowance granted to an officer or employee is available only during the part of the fiscal year in which he remains within the district to which he is assigned, except in those cases in which the Secretary of State, in his discretion, may determine otherwise with respect to post allowances payable since July 1, 1940."
