This executive order, signed by President Harry S Truman on 1949-10-12, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Prescribing Regulations for the Administration of Certain Provisions of the Career Compensation Act of 1949." It is a direct, concise executive instruction delivering focused administrative or military commands to department leadership.
