Franklin D. Roosevelt

Executive Order 7201—Authorization to Appoint Walter D. Humphrey, et al

September 26, 1935

By virtue of the authority vested in me by the provisions of the last sentence of the eighth paragraph of sub-division second of section 2 of the Civil Service Act of January 16, 1883 (ch. 27, 22 Stat. 403, 404), it is hereby ordered that the following-named persons may be appointed to appropriate positions in the Federal Communications Commission without regard to their standings on the Civil Service registers for professional positions:

Walter D. Humphrey James L. McDowell
James A. Kennedy Annie Perry Neal
George M. Harrington Robert M. Fenton
Abe L. Stein Frank U. Fletcher
Basil P. Cooper Melvin H. Dalberg

The above-named persons have passed with creditable marks the prescribed Civil Service examinations for positions with the Federal Communications Commission. They have for the greater part of a year, under temporary appointments in the absence of Civil Service eligibles, rendered efficient service and have thereby become valuable to the Federal Communications Commission. It is desirable, therefore, in the interest of good administration and economy that their services be retained.

This order is recommended by the Federal Communications Commission.

Signature of Franklin D. Roosevelt
