There are hereby excluded from the functions delegated by section 1(a) of this order:
Your outstanding record as a member of the Federal Communications Commission has earned wide public recognition.
Let us recall the words of the Psalmist, 'O give thanks unto the Lord; for He is good: for His mercy endureth forever.'
I am mindful of the reason which you have advanced for declining a recess appointment, and I reluctantly defer to your wishes in the matter.
