Executive Order 2763

by President of the United States

During the present emergency and for the minimum length of time thereafter as may be rendered necessary by the needs of the service, the classified position of aeronautic draftsman under the Navy Department may be filled upon noncompetitive examination.

This order is issued upon the recommendation of the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair, who state that on account of the difficulty experienced in inducing qualified men to accept positions subject to the present rules and methods of appointment, it is deemed impracticable now to fill these positions by open competitive examination.

Woodrow Wilson
