By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 3347

Department of Commerce appointed by the President with the
advice and consent of the Senate, in such order as the
Secretary of Commerce may from time to time prescribe, shall

effect at that time, an Assistant Secretary or the General
Counsel shall act as Secretary in the order in which they
shall have taken office as Assistant Secretaries or General
