President Roosevelt responds to the United States Civil Service Commission’s letter about John A. Flickinger, who has been working as a temporary watchman in the Weather Bureau. Given that Flickinger’s work has been satisfactory, and that Chief Clerk of the Weather Bureau Daniel Joseph Carroll has issued a letter of recommendation for him, Roosevelt has signed the order that allows Flickinger to be certified without further examination.
