This executive order, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson on 1965-12-13, establishes federal administrative policy concerning "Placing Additional Positions in Levels IV and V of the Federal Executive Salary Schedule." It is a direct, concise executive instruction delivering focused administrative or military commands to department leadership.

Constitutional Assessment: Scrutinized through Article II, Section 2, this action exercises the President's constitutional role as Commander in Chief. Early Framers recognized broad executive discretion in commanding military forces during conflict, provided it remains bounded by congressional declarations and respects civilian domestic courts.
