Executive Order 8866—Exemption of J. Brent Clarke From Compulsory Retirement for Age

Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that J. Brent Clarke, Superintendent of the Diplomatic Pouch and Mail Section, Department of State, who was exempted from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year by Executive Order No. 8524 of August 26, 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, sec. 715a), I hereby further exempt the said J. Brent Clarke from compulsory retirement for age for a period of one year ending September 30, 1942.
