EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
BUREAU OF THE BUDGET
WASHINGTON, 25, D.C.
APR 7 7 1945
My dear Mr. Latta:
On April 25, 1945, you advised this office that H. R. 2122, "To
extend to June 30, 1946, the period during which females may be em-
ployed in the District of Columbia for more than eight hours a day,
or forty-sight hours a week, under temporary permits, " had been re-
ceived at the White House, and requested reports and recommendations
as to the approval of the bill.
It is the sole purpose of the bill to extend from June 30, 1945,
to June 30, 1946, the provisions of Public Law 63 of the Seventy-eighth
Congress, which vested the Minimum Wage and Industrial Safety Board of
the District of Columbia with authority to issue to employers, sub-
ject to the female eight-hour law, upon a satisfactory showing to the
Board that such action is essential to the war effort, a temporary
permit to employ females for more than eight hours in any one day,
or more than forty-eight hours but not to exceed fifty-four hours in
any one week.
As of February 9, 1945, permits were in force affecting 1,637
women engaged in office work and 340 women engaged in plant activities.
The principal groups are employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad, the
Southern Railway, the Washington Terminal, and the Western Union.
A facsimile of the enrolled enactment has been referred to the
Board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia and the Department
of Labor, and their replies, either recommending approval of he bill
or interposing no ob jection to its approval, are attached.
I am authorized by the Director of the Bureau of the Budget to
recommend that the bill be approved.
Very truly yours,
TUMAN
Legislative
Assistant the Director,
Reference.
Mr. M. C. Latta,
