Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Civil Service Commission
President Roosevelt informs the Civil Service Commission that he is making two exceptions to the classification of civil service employees. He is making temporary positions held by two daughters of Civil War veterans permanent. While the government should take care to avoid allowing political pull to secure positions for employees, exceptions to civil service rules can be made with appropriate documentation of the reasons for such appointments.
