IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AUGUST 14, 1945.
STATEMENT' BY THE PRESIDENT
One of the hardest working groups of War workers during
the past four years and perhaps the least appreciated by the public
.
-- has been the Federal employes in Washington and throughout the
country. They have carried on the day-to-day operations of the govern-
ment which are essential to the support of our fighting men and to the
carrying on of the war.
On behalf of the nation, I formally express thanks to
ARUMAD
NARA
them.
As a token of this feeling, I hereby request all the heads
of the departments, agencies and bureaus throughout the government to
excuse the employes thereof for tomorrow and Thursday.
This action is to be without charge against the annual
leave of the employes. Only skeleton forces need be maintained.
I hope that all of the employes of the Government will
enjoy this well-deserved -- though inadequate -- holiday.
