This executive order, signed by President Harry S Truman on 1950-06-30, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Further Amendment of Executive Order No. 10084 of October 12, 1949, Prescribing Regulations for the Administration of Certain Provisions of the Career Compensation Act of 1949." It is a direct, concise executive instruction delivering focused administrative or military commands to department leadership.
