[Reinstating certain persons formerly in the competitive service.]

THE WHITE HOUSE, May, 22, 1917.

Civil Service Rule IX is hereby amended by numbering the present

rule as a paragraph and adding the following paragraph:

2. A person resigning a scientific, professional, or technical posi- tion in the competitive service in which he has acquired training and experience not to be acquired elsewhere, to enter the public service of a State, county, municipality, or foreign government in a similar capacity, may immediately upon the completion of such service be reinstated in the Department in which he formerly served, upon the certificate of the Commission issued upon the requisition of the Department dated within three years from the date of his separation from the competitive service.

As amended the rule will read:

1. A person separated without delinquency or misconduct from a competitive position, or from a position which he entered by trans- fer or promotion from a competitive position, may be reinstated in the Department or office in which he formerly served, upon certificate of the Commission, subject to the following limitations: (a) The separation must have occurred within one year next pre- ceding the date of the requisition of the nominating or appointing officer for such certificate; but this limitation shall not apply to a person who served in the Civil War or the War with Spain and was honorably discharged, or his widow, or an army nurse of either war. (b) No person may be reinstated to a position requiring an exam- ination different from that required for the position from which he was separated without passing an appropriate examination. 2. A person resigning a scientific, professional, or technical posi- tion in the competitive service in which he has acquired training and experience not to be acquired elsewhere, to enter the public service of a State, county, municipality, or foreign government in a similar capacity, may immediately upon the completion of such service be reinstated in the Department in which he formerly served, upon the certificate of the Commission issued upon the requisition of the De- partment dated within three years from the date of his separation from the competitive service.
