United States Civil Service Commission

The War Department has requested the concurrence of the Civil Service Commission in a proposal designed to expedite the payment of refund of retirement deductions to certain separated employees.

If it be determined by the Commission to be in the best interest of the Government to effect refunds of retirement deductions in the manner proposed, GAO would not be required to object thereto, it being understood that the arrangement would be adopted only as a temporary expedient during the present emergency.
