Executive Order 5161—Authorizing the Appointment of Louis Bulicek Without Regard to Civil Service Rules

Louis Bulicek may be appointed to an appropriate position in the Department of Commerce without reference to the provisions of the civil-service rules.

S. Res. 98 of the Seventy-First Congress directs the Department of Commerce to promptly supply the United States Senate with certain information which must be obtained from the records of the Food Administration and the Grain Corporation which are now in the custody of the Department. Mr. Bulicek was employed in the United States Food Administration and the United States Grain Corporation in an accounting capacity from September 1, 1918, to December 31, 1927. This Order is issued upon the recommendation of the Secretary of Commerce who states that, so far as is known, Mr. Bulicek is the only available individual who is sufficiently familiar with these records to compile the information contemplated by S. Res. 98.
