Executive Order 9271—Exemption of George T. Summerlin From Compulsory Retirement for Age

Whereas, in my judgment, the public interest requires that George T. Summerlin, a Foreign Service Officer of Class I, who was exempted from compulsory retirement for age for a period of five years by Executive Order No. 7726 of October 12, 1937, be further exempted from compulsory retirement for age as stated below:

Now, Therefore, by virtue of 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 George T. Summerlin from compulsory retirement for age for such time as may be deemed necessary, but not beyond the close of business November 30, 1947.
