The operation of all provisions of law requiring professional examinations for permanent promotion in the Regular Army of officers of the Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Corps is hereby suspended until June 30, 1948.

Now, Therefore, I, Harry S. Truman, President of the United States of America, under and by virtue of the authority vested in me by the aforesaid act of July 17, 1946, do find and proclaim that with respect to trade-marks of nationals of Luxembourg registered in the United States Patent Office which have been subject to renewal on or after September 3, 1939, there has existed during several years since that date, because of conditions growing out of World War II, such disruption or suspension of facilities essential to compliance with the conditions and formalities prescribed with respect to renewal of such registrations by section 12 of the aforesaid act of February 20, 1905, as amended, as to bring such registrations within the terms of the aforesaid act of July 17, 1946; that Luxembourg accords substantially equal treatment in this respect to trade-mark proprietors who are citizens of the United States; and that accordingly the time within which compliance with conditions and formalities prescribed with respect to renewal of registrations under section 12 of the aforesaid act of February 20, 1905, as amended, may take place is hereby extended with respect to such registrations which expired after September 3, 1939, and before June 30, 1947, until and including June 30, 1948.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 507(b) of the Officer Personnel Act of 1947, approved August 7, 1947 (Public Law 381, 80th Congress), it is ordered as follows:

I transmit herewith Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1948, under the Reorganization Act of 1945, which transfers the United States Employment Service and the Bureau of Employment Security to the Department of Labor.

This emphasis can best be achieved by having the two programs administered in the agency most concerned with the employment process--the Labor Department.

I consider it necessary and desirable that these facilities of the Department of Labor should now be augmented by the other major operating agencies in the field of employment--the United States Employment Service and the Bureau of Employment Security.

I find that this proposed reorganization is necessary to accomplish the following purposes of the Reorganization Act of 1945: (1) to group, coordinate, and consolidate agencies and functions of the Government according to major purposes, (2) to increase the efficiency of the operations of the Government, and (3) to promote economy to the fullest extent consistent with the efficient operation of the Government.

The results achieved by the Employment Service after more than two years of operation within the Department of Labor strongly justify the decision to place these functions permanently within that Department.

Any person navigating an aircraft within any of these airspace reservations in violation of the provisions of this order will be subject to the penalties prescribed in the Civil Aeronautics Act of 1938 (52 Stat. 973), as amended.

It is ordered as follows: The penultimate paragraph of Executive Order No. 9898 of October 14, 1947, which suspends until July 1, 1948, the eight-hour law as to all work performed by laborers and mechanics employed by the Department of the Army or the Department of the Air Force with respect to which the Secretary of the Army or the Secretary of the Air Force, respectively, shall find suspension 'essential to (1) the supply and maintenance of the Army or the Air Force' is hereby amended by changing the preceding quoted language to read 'essential to (1) the supply and maintenance of the military or naval forces'.

It is ordered that the following-described land at Waiakea-Kai near Hilo Breakwater, Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii, be, and it is hereby, restored to the jurisdiction of the Territory of Hawaii:

By virtue of and pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 4 of the Air Commerce Act of 1926 (44 Stat. 570), the airspace above the three following-described portions of the United States is hereby reserved and set apart for national defense and other governmental purposes as airspace reservations within which no personal shall navigate an aircraft except in the interest of national defense or by authority of the United States Atomic Energy Commission:

The Corps of Engineers should therefore be given funds to start building the dam at once under the authority of existing legislation.

I recommend therefore that the Congress expand the present authorization for the construction of Folsom Dam.

The Folsom Dam and Reservoir is a key unit in any plan for the full development of the water resources of the Central Valley.

There is an urgent need for this structure, not only from the standpoint of flood control, but also to provide additional electric energy and conservation of water to meet growing demands in the area.

The preparation of the budget for the fiscal year 1949 has been a painstaking process.

The remarkable thing about the budget to me is the fact that we have been able to hold it well below the 1948 fiscal year budget, and had it not been for our requirements for foreign aid and things of that sort, we would have been $3 1/2 billion below the 1948 budget.
