SUBjECT : Bolding of State or Local Offices by Pederel
1. You will recall that I mentioned to you in a teleybouve
conversation a few days ago that the Civil Service Commission
regulations, issued under Executive Order 8516, and persatting
Federal emnloyees to occupy state or local offices under certain
conditions, had been revoked.
2. The following article, quoted in its entirety, eppeared
in Nevy's won Newsletter" for April 1956:
"Under Executive Order 8516, of 15 August 1940, the
U. S. Civil Service Commission issued regulations permitting
employees appointed, on or after 15 August 1940, to positions
in the 76deral service directly concerned with national
defense, to hold any state, territorial, municipal or local
office. These regulations were issued to facilitate the
recruitmeot of personnel during a national emergency.
Because the conditions under which these regulations
were issued no longer prevail they were revoked effective
15 April 1956. Federal employee*, therefore, after
15 April 1956 nay hold only those offices permitted
under Executive Order 9 of 17 January lan concurrent
with their limal employment. A list of these offices can
be found in NCPI 150.
"An employee holding office which was permitted by
the regulations issued meder Executive Order 8516 of
15 August 1940 is to vacate such office within the following
time limits. Where an employee holds office Moor a definite
term he npy hnld such office for the length of the term.
Where an employee bolds office for an indefinite term he
mey hold such office until 1 January 1957.
"Zeployees should be advised not to accept any appoint-
ment to state, territorial, municipal or local office except
as permitted by Executive Order 9 or 17 January 1873. Those
who presently WA prohibited positions should be urged to
melte arrangements to vacate them within the time 11rdta
