- Description:
- The document is from Jack Knight, a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, expressing gratitude to Congressman Schwabe for his help in addressing issues related to civil service employment for veterans. Knight highlights the need for veterans to have priority in civil service positions and expresses concern about non-veterans retaining and advancing in jobs meant for veterans. The document also includes resolutions adopted by the V.F.W. to renew civil service examinations, add veterans to the Civil Service Commission, and enforce Executive Order No. 9644 to provide permanent status for disabled war service employees. Knight also mentions the opposition to reclassifying personnel in a way that reduces their earnings and calls for accredited representatives of veteran organizations to have special recognition by the Civil Service Commission.
